Montoomxrt. pawswn Uterary School— We are glad to learn that the com munication of “Dawson,” published in our paper a few weeks rinse, has awa kened amongst our citizens a apirit of enterprise in reference to this impor tant subject. Nothing would so much advance the general interest of the whole community, morally and pecuni arily as the erection of a Seminary of this kind in our city. We learn that twenty acres of land, within the corpo rate limits of the oity, has been set H ide especially for that purpose, pre senting a most beautiful cite, render ing everything peculiarly adapted to the purpose contemplated ; and noth ing is now wanting to accomplish, suc cessfully, this greatly desired object, but for car enterprising citizens ia the town and couutry to unite their ener gies in pushing forward the enterprise, and the work will certainly be consum- msted. We are proud to record the fad, that a gentleman in this city, known for his liberality, in everything pertaining to the prosperity of his fel low-citizens, has suid that he would give SSOO worth of lumber for the pur- j pose of erecting this templo of learn - ing. flow many will follow his exam ple? Doubtless there are some who; who will, while there nre many whoj will sulmor.be libernlly. We would suggest to our city Fathers, viewing | thorn as euterprising and liberal gen- j tlemen, the propriety of donating from thetstsesol the present year SI,OOO for Uns glorious enterprise ; believing that every citizea will give their hoar- | ty approval to an act so gotten u sand magnanimous. We hope at the next! meeting of tike Council that Utcy will unanimously head the list with a thou sand doilar douutioo. If so, your Sell] - inary will be a fixed fact—Real Estate will advance more than 50 per cent, and tho betwfits to the whole town and county will be incalculable, and a row impetus given to all kinds of business never before experienced isl this com munity. It it Cowing !—LooJi. Out For it:— Tbe announcement that Lake’smaar motb Circus will be hereon the 9th of February has created one of the most pleasant excitement in our commttuity that baa been experienced in a loug time. Lake’s establishment is now more wonderful and complete iu its appoiut- Beata than any thing of the kind we have ever tad, and the unprecedented •uecesa it baa met with shows how folly the public appreciates the efforts of the popular Lake to give us something worth *<®ing. Our friends througmt the wintry, who may visit the Circus on the 9th, may bo sure of getting the worth of tjpir money. Terrell County Agricultural * Club meeting.
