THE CHAIR OF CHEMISTRY,
WAKEFOREST COLLEGE,

The Biblical Recorder says "The
Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees of Wake Forest College held
a special meeting on Friday evening
last for the purpose of electing a Pro-
fessor to fill the Chair Of Chemistry,
made vacant by the death of DR.. Dug
gan. After carefully considering the
matter and also the merits of several
eminent scholars who had been named
for the position, the Board unanimous
ly elected DR.. Charles l.. Reese, of
Baltimore This selection will, no
doubt, meet with the hearty approval
of the Baptists of North Carolina. DR..
Reese is an A. NJ. graduate of the
University of Virginia and a Phi. D. of
Heidelberg, Germany. He has for
some time held the position Of Instruc-
tor in Chemistry at Johns Hopkins
University, and has the highest recon-
mendation of Professor Remsen, the
eminent professor of that institution,
both as a teacher and chemit.

THE Danville Regiter Of the 10th

The Danville RegItcr Of the 10th
inst, says:
Mr.. A. D. Exall, who is to SUI
vey the Danville & Seaboard road ,
spent yesterday IN Danville, having
passed over the line between Danville
and Henderson on horse back. He
will leave this morning on the return
trip over the line to Henderson, where
h: will meet his party and commence
his survey, which he hopes to COM
plete in two months or less. The
board OF directors had a meeting last
night and made all necessary arrange
ments for pushing the survey through
as soon as possible.
This looks as if the road from Dan
vile to Henderson really means some
thing more than talk alone. The
GOLD LEAF hopes to see such a line
established. 1t would be worth more
to Henderson and Vance county than
any road we know, giving us more
direct communication with the mar
kets of Danville and Lynchburg, the
coal regions beyond, and the great
Northwest. Our people should CO.
operate to secure such an important
connection as the Danville & Seaboard
road. Speed the good work.
