As announced in The News eev aral days ago Governor Terrel, called a meeting ot tne trustees in this district tor yesterday in Way cross, bach county was allowed one trustee, Glynn being represented by v\. F. Symons. Several of the coun ties in the district were bidders to; tne college, among them being Coi tee. Ware, Irwin, Fierce and others. The otter made by Coffee was a great surprise to the trustees. It wa, thought when the offers of Ware auu Irwin were read that one ot tnese two couuuea would surely secure UK college, but when the claim and offe. from Ccffee were put before the meeting it did not take the trustees long to arrive at a decision. Here .8 what Coffee offered: Fifty acre; of land. $60,000 in cash and free light and water. That was enough to land the college. Both Ware and Irwin, as well as Pierce, made liberal offers, but it could not compete with that of th. people of Coffee county, and the agricultural college for the Elovent' district will be located in the thriv Ing little city of Douglas.
