Edward McGehee college sold to Woodville for high school use
In Jackson on April 3 the Edward McGehee college, long a leading southern Mississippi institution, was sold to the town of Woodville to be used as a high school. The move reflects the shift of institutions from large centers to smaller communities in the postwar era. Elta Harper appointed postmistress at Raymond after a competitive selection. Also, J C Gathings reports in Jackson that 15000 acres in Sunflower County will grow cotton this year, with corn, potatoes, sugar cane and forage crops to feed 1800 convicts on the state penitentiary farms.
