DR.. Chapman, nor his excellent paper an
injustice. While the editors explanation
Is sufficient to satisfy the most ardent sup
porter Of Central, it does not contradict
one word that appeared In this paper. We
admire the Advocate and its editors and
the great cause that 1t represents. yet
when we saw such prima facie evidence OF
discrimination, the only natural thing
was to notice it. We are glad that the
eminent writer has set us Alright on this
question. We learn that the Advocate
asked for an article on Central's COM
mencement, bnt that President Jones
failed to send 1t In time for the college
edition. However, we are still OF the
conviction that the Advocate might have
made some notice OF our commencement
exercises. which took place two weeks
before the Fayette commandments.

superior jobs, that il is well-nigh impos-
sibIe to make distinctions, but at the
same time there is a legion of builders
whose productions are cheap and inferior,
having their imperfections concealed be-
meath paint and varnish, and the number
who confine themselves to work of the
very highest class is very restricted one.
the prominent feature and most notice
able fact about the elegant furniture,
now being put in the bank, mentioned
