Princeton remembers fire as schools plan progress and bids

Community leaders discuss consolidation of Matoaka and Spanishburg high schools as county residents show cautious optimism. Local figures attend a Democratic convention in Memphis and Seton High School Center Stage plans a show tonight. The Bloodmobile visits town as the Mercer County Opportunity Workshop gains new board members led by Eddie Horton. The Princeton Key Club continues collecting newspapers for fundraisers, reporting seven tons donated. Groups such as the Bramwell Kiwanis and Bluefield Princeton B'nai B'rith Lodge also contribute.
