Flintville Fun Fact

From an article in the April 8, 1880 edition of the Fayetteville Observer:   "Our school is in flourishing condition, having fifty pupils in regular attendance, and more will enter as soon as pleasant weather begins.  It is thought that Mr. Stewart will be under the necessity of employing an assistant soon.  Our people are wide awake on the school question.  The present school building being to small to accommodate the school, they are talking earnestly of erecting a new and more commodious one.  We hope that the Flyntville Male and Female Academy will soon offer a new facility to the many friends and patrons of education in the way of a well furnished and roomy Academy building."
