Stevenson, A. G., county superintendent of schools is a man well fitted to hold the position in which he is now doing efficient work.  He was born and raised in Hancock County and began teaching school while in his teens, and at twenty enlisted in the civil strife that involved the world's greatest nation, - greater because as a people we are the best educated and this is due to our public school system and where that is found most perfect, there is the smallest per cent of illiteracy and as our people become better educated, there is a smaller per cent of atrocious crimes. After serving three years in the war, on his return he engaged in farming and timbering and now owns nine hundred acres of land part of which is improved, and stock as he has about a hundred head of cattle, and sheep and hogs in proportion.  He also owns a saw mill near Nicholson, which has a capacity of 10,000 ft. per day.  This is the best location for a saw milling plant between Hattiesburg and New Orleans, and Mr. Stevenson invites correspondence in regard to the sale of the plant entirely for the purpose of association of himself with a partner.

 

  He is a man capable of assuming charge of the education branch, the most important one in interest to our commonwealth, and after carefully examining his work in the county we can readily see why Mississippi is making such rapid stride in educational matters, if every county has such an efficient man at the helm.   (SCE 05/20/1893)
