Colored School is Established at Valley

Thru the continued efforts of Mr. William Jennings,
colored, of Salt Lick, and finally after a written
appeal to the State Supt. of Schools, George Colvin, a
school for colored children was opened at Valley last
week. Miss Emma Butler of Middletown, near Paris, was
sent to teach the school. Mr. Jennings deserves much
credit for his consistent efforts to give the colored
children of our county at least a chance for an
education.
