Giles College Chips.
GATHERED BY THE BOYS.

We appreciate your kindness, Mr..
Editor, in again offering us space
in your valuable paper for our Chips.
Those Of Us who are members of the
higher English class, having made
some progress in that department,
are now ready to accept your invita-
ton and viii let you hear from us
occasionally. If this communica-
ton should compare unfavorably
with those OF the class of last year.
we hope your readers will be Chart
able and remember that this is our
first attempt and that we as yet
make no claims to proficiency in the
art of composition. Our school
numbers a few more than it did last
session; yet we miss the smiling
cOuntenances, kicks, cuffs and Jolly
hurrahs of many of our old chums.
Mr.. L. w. Carpenter is now teach
ing in Kentucky. His school viii
close about Christmas. He had
made his arrangements to be with
us again after that time, but has re-
Gently decided to ego into business"
A letter received last week from Mr..
II. NJ Morrison, written at his home
in Mississippi, informs us that he
will join us again sometime in Jan.
uary next. He is the fellow, you
know, who ate eighteen biscuits for
supper one evening last spring
fact. Mr.. Will Davis recently spent
two weeks at his home in Alabama
on account of sickness. He is with
US again, hale and lively. Ed. Ash
bridge from Louisiana is one Of our
new boarders at the College. Ed.
attended Culleoka the last three
sessions and has many wonderful
things to tell US about the "thicket."
However, we believe all his knowl
edge is second hand. Will Lane, of
the commercial department, our
Brick Church representative, has
been absent from school several
days. Our school is much better
classed this year than last. We
have five arithmetic classes averag-
ing twelve each, two geography
classes averaging II each, and three
grammar classes averaging 154 each.
The classes being large makes them
much more interesting. The alge
bra classes are not so large, but the
boys seem to be making good pro
gress. The most advanced class in
Latin prose composition is now
using Gildersleeve's Exercise Book.
Our professor informed US not long
since that he was going to invite
several gentlemen from over town
to examine us sometime soon in
Latin and Greek. We hope-no we
won't say it; of course we shall be
glad to have them come. But,
gentlemen, be merciful. If you
have ever been there yourself, re-
member how it was. We hope ouI
readers will excuse the following re-
mark if it should seem to have been
written in praise Of ourselves
However, we make the statement
because it seems to US to be some
thing rather wonderful, and because
but few know what kind of discipline
we are having. Although we arc
under stricter discipline than VIC
have ever been before, no boy dur
ing the last four weeks has received
a demcrit in Prof Guthrie's room
which is occupied by the larger
boys No one has whispered OF
been guilty Of an offence deservin g
reproof. Our discipline is such that
it would be difficult for any one tc
act amIss who has any self respect
or regard for his honor. DIR. W. S
King is now boarding at the college
Mr.. Austin from near Elkton visited
the college last Monday for the pur
pose of making arrangements tC
enter the commercial department.
