found attention.

BUSINESS has now quite revived in
Little Rock. The feeble, stagnant stream
has become a current full and strong.
Merchants are moving to and fro with
quickened step and animated faces en-
ployees are absorbed and busy with at
tention to customers. Wagons with
two mules, wagons with four mules move
along the streets, piled with the tawny
bales that commerce most desires. The
life ofthe southern land, the bread ofthe
laborers home, "King Cotton, moves
along the veins of traffic, and the toilers
who have most labored through the year
to bring this prosperity, are now throng-
ing the streets, purchasing the comforts
and luxpries that successful labor can
ever command.

fourth session on Wednesday, Septem-
Der goth, under very #hopeful. auspices.

After the formal opening exercises which
consisted of singing, reading from the
Scriptures and prayer, President Lewis
addressed the teachers and students in a
most happy manner; and as he unfolded
the plan for the incoming year, and ex-
planned the work to be done, all present
felt that he understood the character and
magnitude of the work which has been
committed to him by the church and the
patrons ofthe school. He was listened
to with profound attention; all were
anxious to catch every word that fell from
his lips. The other members of the facul-
ty, Prof. Ellis, Miss Brooks. Miss
Smith and Prof.Lease, showed deep in
tereSt IN every movement, and there is
no doubt but that the interests of their
several departments will be cared for.
All the students were very cheerful, and
even casual observer could see that
they were well pleased with their Presi-
aent and teachers and were eager to get
to work We sat near the platform . in
the study hall, and observed with much
interest the students as they came for
