Somebody wrote to the editor OF a
paper to inquire howlie would break an
OK. The editor replies as follows; "lf
only one OK, good way would be to
hoist him, by means ofa long chain
attached to his tail, TO the top Of a
pole forty feet from the ground. Then
hoist him by rope tied TO his horns
to another pole. Then suspend to his
back five ton pile driver, and if that
fails to break him, lot him start a

journalistic change.

We learn with much qualification
of the accession of Mr.. Clay Stacker
to the publishing firm of the Clarks-
vile Tobacco Leaf, in which he has
purchased an interest.
Mr.. Stacker has been long known
to US as thorough gentleman, i'm
bued with the sentiments of high
honor and graceful courtesy which
are the essential constituents of that
character. He is also gifted with
the sound sense and strict integrity
of principle which will, we are con-
fident, secure him from adopting
any course inconsistent with the
honor and prosperity of the state.
We gladly welcome him to the
ranks of the profession.

S. w. Presbyterian University.


The resignation OF Prof. Jas. Din
widdie of the professorship of math-
ematics in the University called
together the executive committee
of the directory to provide for the
vacancy. From a number of candi-
dates furnishing testimonials of the
highest character, the committee by
a unanimous vote selected Prof. E.
B. Massie, of Charlottesville, Va,
to succeed the late incumbent.
This gentleman is a distinguished
graduate of the University of Vir-
ginia. He brings the endorsement
of the faculty of that university and
of distinguished ministers Of the
Gospel to his eminent fitness for
this important professorship, as well
as his high character as a Christian
gentleman, to which is to be added
the unsought testimony of his pa
irons to his remarkable disciplinary
ability, and his extraordinary per-
sonal moral influence over students.
Besides, he brings to crown his
other great qualities the attraction
of years of experience.
The friends of the university may
be assured that there will not be a
neutrality-suspicious. the exercises
nor any arrest of the upward and
onward progress of the institution.
The authorities of the University
are to be congratulated on the sue
cess achieved by them in securing
to their corps of instructors gen.
tleman of such decided and pre-
eminent qualifications.

J. r. PIummer, so long an efficient
educator Of young ladies, under

for our southern people. He has
associated with him corps of
teachers of experience and ability,
and more, they are ladies of refine

press their characteristics upon those
coming under their care. Besides
all this, DR.. Plummer has spared
no expense in identifying the
grounds and putting the buildings
in perfect repair. GAINESVILLE is the
healthiest town in this country; her
people are refined; it is our school,
and we must uphold its worthy pres
ident in the discharge of his ardu-
Gus duties. This school has edu-
Gated more daughters of the south
than any other school within her
borders, and its halls should be
filled next session.
