MANAGER Somehow, of the Opera
House, has made an engagement with
the Gilbert Opera Company for Thurs
day, November Goth, Thanksgiving.
The Gilbert Company is splendid one
and this will be an opportunity for our
opera lovers to spend delightful eve
ming.
IT would be good scheme for some
one to make arrangements to get the
returns in the Opera House and TO
charge small admittance fee. This
would net the manager quite a neat
little sum. 1t is understood that such
a plan is on foot.

The attention of the Democratic
voter is called to the fact that while
Hanna has sent $3.50, 900 into this state

every voter out.

Pittsburg says that Tucker has one
chance in thousand of living.
THE Board of Editors of the College
Annual met Tuesday night to audit
the accounts and wind up the affairs
of that publication. 1t was found
that quite debt was hanging over
the Board but that if the outstanding

"MARTELL's South Before theWarn
drew large audience to the Opera
House last night. The entertainment
was one of those quaint portrayals of
Southern negro character that seem
never to lose their novelty. The whole
audience went away pleased. The
next attraction will be the Gilbert
Opera Company on Thanksgiving
night.
TUESDAY it became imperative to
raise $780, in order to keep ''Doggie"
Trenchard here to coach the team for
the rest of the season. The boys fell
to valiently and leave by 10 O'Clock on
Wednesday raised 1916 of the required
amount. The balance will shortly be
forthcoming and Trenchard will be
retained. Let every loyal friend of
the team support the boys in this eff
fort.
NEXT week large number of the
students, probably one-half of them,
will be away to cast their ballots. This
will almost necessitate an entire ces-
sation of work at the University. A
petition has been circulated asking
that holidays be given to all next
week instead of the regular Thanks
giving holiday, but it is not thought
that it will be granted.
WHEN the result of the game was
known here Saturday night the boys
went wild and for two hours they
paraded the streets yelling, singing
and giving vent to their joy. A huge
bon fire was built on Miller's corner
and speeches were made by several
students, whose sentiments were
cheered to the echo. 1t was great
time and everybody enjoyed them
selves.
