The object of the meeting was briefly explained by Prof. W. H. H. Hughes, to be to devise means for the starting and maintaining of a good and permanent school in the town of Webster. The chairman then called for a general expression of the views of those composing the meeting; whereupon short talks were made by Rev. B. G. Wild, J. J. Hooker, Esq., Jas. W. Terrell, Prof. Hughes and Walter E. Moore, Esq., and on motion of W. E. Moore, it was unanimously agreed that the chairman of this meeting appoint a committee of three to canvas the neighborhood and learn how much money can be guaranteed for a teacher's salary. The chairman appointed W. E. Moore, Esq., Jas. W. Terrell, and Prof. W. H. H. Hughes, with instructions agreeing with the motion of said committee. The Secretary was requested to furnish a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the editor of the Tucka- seige Democrat, with a request that he publish them in this week's issue, On motion the meeting adjourned to meet again on Tuesday evening, the 8th, at early candle light.
