A Grand Opening.
THE CAPACITY OF HARDIN COL
LEGE BEING THOROUGHLY
TESTED.
Never Before Has Hardin college BE.
gun n Session With Such n Bevy
Of lonng Ladies-Texas Rep
resented by Scores.

Never since the building of Har-
din College has it opened a term
with as large an attendance as it
did this morning, and half of the
pupils have not arrived yet. Every
train brings a bevy of young ladies.
Last night sixteen arrived from
Texas, and to-day a company of
twelve and probably more will fol.
low from that State. On next
Monday thirty pupils will be adj
ded, mostly old scholars, coming
from different parts of the country.
Prof. Yancey is in a quandary to
know what arrangement to make
to accommodate the boarders, as
the demand far exceeds his most
sanguine EXPECTATIONS; but he
hopes to he ableSo provide for all
conveniently and agreeably. When
the college was opened this morn
ing at O'Clock between rs and 100
scholars responded to roll call and
when the noon trains began to
come in the crowd sweIled a dozen
at a time.
This College for young ladies is
not surpassed in the country
and its excellent reputation is fast
spreading, as the increase in at
tendance plainly shows. Prof.
Yancey has selected a faculty that
could not be improved on, and this
present session will be a brilliant
page in the history of Hardin Col
