And the position of official stenographer
to Court, or a legislative body, means a

so much, but hope that | have not tres

Be assured of this. that there is not in this
vast assembly to-day one who rejoices more
heartily in this suspicious inauguration o.
our State Industrial Institute and Collegt
for Girls; and it will be my pride ano
pleasure to contribute as l may have
opportunity, by voice and pen, toward 1T
achieving all possible success /; but let u
each remember that in this, as III every

, And now. Just word as to the Location
of the College. As a citizen of our Stat
Capital, my motto is, to get all we can, ant
: keep all we get, of our public institutions
r For more than thirty years / have resides
. in Jackson, and she has been so good ant
so kind to me, that | am always ready t
cooperate in every project that may resul
to her advantage. We were particular
anxious to secure this College, and whe
the Trustees came ON their tour of inspet
e ton, we put our best foot foremost. w

e iu for situation, "and thought We had mad
e a first-class impression; but when til

J, money equivalent to one-tenth OF nlIlllo

S connection with other important conside

The only point urged against Colun
