ALL THREE
HEARD FROM
Three Out of Four of the Form
er Teachers Of Ferrell's
School.
LETTERS FROM THEM ALL.
All Will Be Here August 20 if
1t Is Possible To
Come.
LETTERS FROM THEM ALL.

l MANY replies are DelHB TeCciNtt
from Ferrell's Boys all over tn,
country. In nearly every instanct
the writer's say that they will be or
hand. Some send valuable informa.
ton as to their fellow students, and
errors in the list imperfectly com.
piled under disadvantages are being
gradually corrected. All but about
80 of the invitstions have been sent
out, many to old addresses with for
warding requests. Occasionally a
new name is added to the list and
now and then the wrong boy is found
in the list. but these errors are but
natural in period covering 80 years
and extending back AZ years.
The list now numbers 618 and 119
are dead, so far as known. with the
fate OF several others in doubt.
Those classed as local, that is re-
siding in Christian and adjoining
counties, number 200 and these are
to be hosts of the 300 who are scat
tered all over the United States.
Invitations were sent to all of the
former memt ers of the faculty in
the days when the school was mill
tary academy with 60 to rs pupils in
attendance. All of the survivors
have been heard from and their let
tiers appear below.
