NEW SCHOOL
FOR ELLAV|LLE
Especial to Times-Recoraer.)


ELLAVILLE, Ga, Feb. 1S.--A move
ment for the erection of a new school
building has been put on foot here,
and an election called for the issuing Of
bonds by the city. 1t is to he hoped that
the necessary two-thirds majority viii
be secured, and that ere long Ellaville
will boast as handsome a school as any
town her size in the state. The present
building is entirely inadequate to the
needs of the pupils, besides presenting
quite a adilapidated appearance. We
have one of the prettiest towns in the
state, and with an up-to-date school,
we will indeed have cause to be proud
of our quiet little city
