Jackson Argus – Week Of May 21, 1896 May 21, 1896
The stockholders of the Jackson Institute Co., held their regular annual meeting
at the court house on last Thursday, the 14th, at 2 o’clock p.m.   The old Board
of Directors was elected unanimously and are as follows:

W. M. Mallett, A. G. Hitchins, A. H. Smith, R. L. Daughtry, J. r. Wright, J. H.
Carmichael, L. J. Ball, J. r. Carmichael and C. G. Fennell.

The following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted:

Be it resolved by the stockholders here assembled that we heartily endorse the
administration of the Directors for the past year, and that we express to them
our appreciation of their efforts in keeping the Jackson Institute up to a high
educational standard.

Be it resolved that we express to President Blasingame and his co-workers our
strong endorsement of his management of our Institute and its highest usefulness
can only be attained by the lines heretofore laid down b him, viz; strict and
rigid obedience and a thoroughness in all things.   These are the elements that
go to make up true manhood and womanhood, and our children should be so trained.

Be it further perceived, that while we thank the public generally for their
liberal patronage, yet we feel that the public is indebted the Jackson Institute
stockholders for their gratuitous energy, zeal, and enterprise which has placed
such a high grade institution in our midst, everybody should stand as a unite in
their loyalty.  We further believe that this culture, moral and commercial
interest of our entire community is involved in this preservation of this
institute, and that controlled by this view alone, all true loyal citizens
should stand by the school and do all in their power toward its permanency.

After some discutsion(? Discussion/discursion) and amendments, the following
resolution was adopted:

We the stockholders of the Jackson Institute hereby authorize the Directors
elect to make such arrangements for the faculty and all other arrangements for
the management of Jackson Institute in the future for from one to three years as
they may see fit.

No other business, the meeting adjourned.

F. S. Etheridge, Sec’y
W. M. Mallett, Chrm’n
