entered as o student in the Com.
mercial Department.. We hope
that his stay with us will be both
profitable and pleasant.
Miss Lilly Y. Jones, of Quit
man, Ga, will be a guest at the
McNulty House next week, and
will remain in our delightful little
city until after the Leap Year
party.
Philopnna presents are being
purchased to such an extent, by
punctual debtors, that G. L. Mize
has nearly exhausted his stock of
cocoa nuts and ground peas.
| Dawson can justly boast of the
cleverest, most accommodating
and courteous young gentlemen in
the state. They are thoughtful of
the pleasure and comfort Of friends
at home as well as visitors from
abroad.
Misses Birdie McNulty, Kate
Crenshaw and Carrie Brown, are
now students in the Commercial
Department, and expect to finish
this term. The boys look wild
and say that they don't believe a
mans mind is stronger than a
womans. They may look out for
their laurels.
Two Of our most popular young
men could unfold a tale on the
subject of "tentions," if they SO
desired, that would lay Mark
Twain on the shelf, and cause Bill
Arp to emigrate.
MORAL: Put down the window
next to the street when the sub
ject of callers" is being discuss
ed.
We were delighted to meet to-
day our brother of the quill"
MIR. Pilsbury, of Americas. He is
like bird on the wing, sees, hears
and knows everything, and sends
forth weekly, one of the most in
interesting and readable journals
in the whole state, the Americas
Recorder. May he live long, in
crease in flesh and become the
possessor of much riches.
Many thanks are due that most
estimable lady and good neighbor,
Mrs. T. H. Pickett, who, by the
by, when "wee girl was pupil
of the President, for the elegant
dinner SO kindly sent last Friday.
It was appreciated, and enjoyed by
several Euterpeans, who express
ed hope that ''the mother" would
be remembered again in the near
future.
Our handsome bachelor of the
classic pen," has now ready for
publication, he informs us, latin
essay that will SO far surpass the
crude efforts of the senior class
that he knows it gill cause them
to withdraw altogether from the
contest for the Keely medal. He
is SO happy over being selected as
an escort to the Leap Year party,
by one of Dawson's sweetest and
most charming ladies, that he be-
came inspired, hence the result. :
Wonder if all the other editors Of
the Telephone will be similarly
affected.
The McNulty House numbers
forty boarders. Among the latest
arrivals are Miss Lu Bush, the
daughter of the honorable repre-
sentative of Miller, and Mr.. Hugh
OVERLY, from Stewart, while Mr..
b. T. Jennings, just across the
way, welcomed to-day, as a mem
Der of his family, Miss Rena
Wright, from Webster, one of the
brightest pupils Of the college
Mr.. Jennings is one of our most
substantial farmers, a staunch and
liberal patron. We are delighted
to have him a resident on College
Hill.
The South Ga. College is on a
"boom," l40 pupils this week and
still the good work goes on. The
"tocsin of war" is annually sound
ed by the venerable President who
has grown grey in the cause of
education, and mothers and fathers
who were pupils thirty years ago,
now send their children to be
guided by the same hand in their
search for knowledge, to be direct
ed, controlled and governed, that
it may be we'll for them in the
future. From the mountains of
Virginia, from the hills of North
GA. and Alabama, from the aunny
vallies of our own section, and
! from the orange groves of Florida
they come. What higher compll-
ment, what greater proof of entire
confidence, as to mental ability
and moral worth could be shown ?
