shell myself, lectur from inc to time,

looked after. No card playin will be al
lowed atore servis on Sunday, and none
whatever with the servants. They will
be taughtto respeck themselves
Wv course, there will hev to be larrc
outlay money, which it stands to rea-
son can't be outlayed till it's 1nlayed.

In building a chimney, put quantity
of salt into the mortar With which the in
tercourses of brick are to be laid. The eff
feet will be that there will 'nevefbe any
accumulation of SCOT in that chimney
The philosophy is thus. stated: the salt1in,
the portion of mortar which is exposed,
absorbs moisture every damp day. The
SCOT thus becoming damp falls down the
fireplace. Our readers should remember
or preserve this little piece ofvaluable i'll
formation.
The high standin NV the Board, partick-
lerly the Secratey and Treasrer, which
hez the handlin NV the funds, is a suffi-
cient guarantee that all money subscribed
will be faithfully applied. 1t wus resolv-
ed, in order that the Board may present
that respectable appearance wich their
pos ition demands, that the first funds re-
seeved shood be applied tn the purchase
NV each NV them q new SCOT nv clothes,
a step, Pm confident, the friens NV south

lily endorse. ~i.T
hev hopes in the course NV week to
report progress. Every subscriber NV
1925 and upwards, will hev a Honorary
Professorship named after him, or will be
made Honorary Member NV the Board
NV Directors, ez he chooses. We regret
that we wuz too late to git Admiral
Semmes to fill one NV the chairs, but we
pledge our friends to sekoor his fust loo
tenant, or sekkondat farthest. We hev
high hopes Nv libral support from the
Dimocricy north. They cannot realize
the dangers NV sending their sons tu sich
institooshuns of learnin north ez must
turn EN- out Ablishnists, or chill, or least,
the arder Nv their Dimocricy. ......-
1t is to be hoped that contributions for
the buildin of the institooshen and its
proper endowment will be, commenst i'm
mejetly, ez there is a mortgage on Deelin
Pogram's farm, and Lam in pressn need
NV a substanshel SCOT NV winter clothes.
