The Schools, in this Co. have not yet commenced.  A few private schools, are in operation in the Co.  I can give no information concerning them except the one at Scottsville, which I have applied before, for help, but without success.  A young colored man named H. Clay. Harris has a School there and is struggling along with little success, the people being to poor to keep it up.  I respectfully recommend, that a permanent School be established at Scottsville, as there is great need of one in that place.
