TOE BAPTIST COLLEGE
Euthusiastic Meeting of Citizens
Favors Effort to Bring It to
Hereford—Pledges Secured.
The mass meeting at the Baptist
church last Friday night, while not
largely attended, was enthusiastic
enough. The purpose of the meet-
ing, as previously announced, was to
consider the advisability of trying to
secure for Hereford the Panhandle
Baptist College, and to adopt means
looking to that end. It was the
unanimous sentiment of those present
that the Baptist College would be a
very great.benefit to Hereford, and
that a united effort should be made
to have it established here.
W. H. Rayzor was chosen chair-
man of the meeting and O. F. Smith
secretary. Judge Jno. E. Ferguson
stated what had been already done
by the local Baptist church in the
matter. Two committees had been
appointed; one to go to Memphis to
attend the Fifth Sunday Meeting
and represent to the proper persons
the advantages of Hereford as a site
for the school, and another, a
finance committee, to, solicit sub-
scriptions to the enterprise. Judge
Ferguson stated that he thought that
the members of the Baptist church
ought to raise $7,000, and the citi-
zens outside the church $3,000
more.
J. P. Conneil, L. Cough, Ran-
dolph Clark, R. F. Holloway and
others spoke, strongly expressing
thfeir approval of the new school
enterprise. The finance committee
r. pjrted pledges already received
to the amount of about $1,000. A
call for subscriptions resulted in
securing the following additional
pledges:
Smith, Walker & Co., by G. A. F.
Parker $250; Hereford Lumber Co.,
by J. C. Newman, $300; W. H.
Rayzor, $200; L. Gough, $200;
J. P. Conneil, $100; E. J. White,
$50; F. L. Vanderburgh, $50; Dr.
W. E. Robertson, $50.
In addition to these cash pledges
aggregating $1,200 a number of
good offers of land were made, and
many other persons declared their
intention to give liberally to the
enterprise, but were not prepared at
the time to make definite pledges.
The meeting adjourned at 10
o'clock with the strong assurance
that everything possible would be
done by local members of the Bap-
tist church and the citizens generally
to secure the Panhandle Baptist
College for Hereford.
