Old law affecting Ga county academies draws attention
A historical notice summarizes 1828 Georgia acts consolidating Elbert County Academy governance and adding trustees. It details duties, property powers, and financial oversight for trustees and a plan for the Lawrenceville Academy lottery to raise up to five thousand dollars, with appointed commissioners and oversight. The piece ends with a public health note urging mothers to watch for diarrhea in children and promotes Chamberlain's remedy.
