tHAPEL HILL, July 22.-Beauti~
ful for situation, the j'y o" the whole
State, is the charming elegant sim.
plicity OF the grand campus that for
nearly one hundred year, has been
the educational center of North Caro-.
Iina. The campus is now in all its
beauty, the native oaks seem srander
and more majestic than usual with
their rich and exaberaut foliage Of

which it is said, the committee took a
lunch and rested. when lqc ,tirg the

natural as when first sag it over
thirty years ago. There is u charm
about hoary age, say what sou will.

village is very quiet, and moral, and
the dOckets of the Justices OF the
Peace show that the authorities here
are determined to keep tue moral
atmosphere of the village pure aid
healthy.
Chapel Hill nov, nc matter what
