in the county of Roanoke to sell the same and re-invest the pro-

ceeds.
Approved February 8, 1879.

veyed to William Winger, William Willet and William Fer-
guson, as trustees, two acres of land on Back creek, in Roanoke

by direction of certain donors and subscribers of money, erected
on said land a school-house; and whereas by the settlement
and development of that portion of the county, and the loca-
tion of other schools, the said site has become inconvenient to
the heirs of the original donors and subscribers, and the same
are now desirous to have a school-house at a more eligible site ;
and whereas Gideon Turner, William G. Ferguson and Jordan
Woodrum are at present the successors as trustees of the origi-
nal trustees:

powered to sell, either publicly or privately, and convey by a

land with the improvements thereon, upon such terms of pay-
ment and for such price as to them shall seem most advanta-
geous, and to re-invest the proceeds derived therefrom in the
erection of a,building suitable for school purposes on a lot of
Jand donated for that purpose at the forks of Back creek, near
William G. Ferguson’s, in the same neighborhood in said
county.
