SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY'S INDUSTRIAL FUND.
By Frederick Griggs
OUR people in the Eastern Union Conference will be pleased to know how we are progressing in the matter of our industrial fund for the academy. So far about one hundred dollars has been received. This money has not come in large amounts, but it appears that our people are uniting to assist in this matter. We shall purchase our stock of broom corn about the last of September or the first of October, and several hundred dollars will be needed to do this. Among the first remittances which we received on this fund was five dollars from a poor laboring girl, who is not only supporting herself but is also assisting her parents. She had attended the academy, and was deeply interested in the proposed plan. The first ten dollars was from another lady who supports herself by her work. This spirit can but encourage all who are interested in this matter.
