Graham, Miss-  The New School Building.

 

The public school building is complete, and the following dispatch to a New Orleans paper is so accurate of the building , that we use part of it:

 

  Among the many recent improvements is the erection of a first class public school, one of the finest in South Mississippi and a matter of pride to every taxpayer in Bay St. Louis.

 

  If the country had been looked over, a more lovely or convenient spot could not have been selected for an educational institution.  This splendid sight is slight elevation among beautiful pines, oaks, and cedars, corner of Carroll and Second streets, both of which have been shelled and opened under the administration of Capt. Toulme, the present mayor.  The building is about one quarter of a mile from the Louisville and Nashville depot and about half the distance from the courthouse on Main street, in easy distance for all the children attending school.  The schoolhouse is 42x62 feet with a large hall and handsome front gallery, and contains four very large recitation and study rooms, also an exhibition hall with twenty-one windows and a state suitable for all the purposes for which it has been built.
