Times Enterprise: I am starting from Mr. T. B. Har dys store, which is located Just where the Thomasville and Summerhill splendid public road runs into the Boston and Patten road. Both of these highways Mre in splendid or der and speak well for our hard working officials. But I l on. Before starting towards Sum merhill. I want to say just a few words about I'nity Academy, and that worthy settlement, and I trust our Hon. School Commissioners will take notice of them and hear their pnayers. First, they want a school district, j because they think its right. They have 4 0 or 50 children of school age. some of these are ^*oor and must have help. Some are heavy tax-payers, and want to build up a school that will benefit all concern ed without throwing a straw in the way of other school districts around. Some of these people could send their children to Ozelle, but the Creek to cross, others could send to | Boston, but there’s the railroads to j cross, etc. Prof Searcy is drawing ,a plat of his school district. When it’s finished I believe every tax pay er in the Summerhill district will sign a petition to grant them a School district. Ozelle tax payers will sign it too. T will, and I pay tax to Summerhill. These citizens are going to pull for it believing they are right before the Hon. School Commissioner and the law. Here on my left is a beautiful farm, conducted by Mr. T. T. Joiner.
