CAVE SPRING GIVES
SB,OOO FOR HEARN.
The campaign to raise $40,-
000 fund for Hearn Academy al
Cave Spring, was successfully
launched Friday afternoon when
that enterprising little city sub
scribed the splendid sum of SB,-
000. This action was taken at
an educational rally held there.
In attendance were the mem
bers of the board of trustees, and
many visitors from the country.
In the morning a meeting was
held that filled the Baptist church
Addresses were, made by Dr. R.
B. Ileadden of Rome, and the Rev
J. G. Harrison of Macon. Then
the agent of the trustees, Rev. J.
G. Hunt, made a ringing call for
Subscript ions to the work. The
answer began slowly, but the.
enthusiasm increased and before
Uii! close of the meeting the grat
ifying total named above was
reached.
It is the purpose of tin* trus
tees to raise $40,000 for the pur
pose of erecting new buildings at
the school, ami increasing the
endowment. Mr. Hunt will make
a thorough canvass of the coun
ties of Floyd, Walker and Chat
tooga.
He has handled the work with
skill and wisdom and has proved
himself to be, the right man in
the right place.
With the start that Cave
Spring has given the movement,
its success seems assured, and
within the next year the trustees
expect to have room for the 100
boarding pupils, who are anxious
to enter the academy.—Tribune-
Herald.
