Flintville School

In the July 31, 1874 edition of the Fayetteville Observer, someone wrote: "Well, the trustees of our school have employed our worthy and accomplished friend Hugh McTier, Jr., of Petersburg.  They have made a contract with him and are to pay him and are to pay sixty dollars per month.  Mr. McTier has the character of being a first class teacher, and your correspondence knows him to a gentleman in every sense.  Therefore, I congratulate the people of Flintville and vicinity in succeeding in procuring his his services.
