building and grounds. Although the work
Is not finished, still it Is hard for one to con-
ceiye how much the looks and comforts OF

improved. A new square-picket fence is the
first thing that attracts our attention and il

brick walk that leads from the front gate to
the college building and replacing IL with the
new patent pavement Of Mr.. X. b. Berrie
