TRINITY COLLEGE NOTES.

The very remarkable revival meet
ings that have been running for some
time haye come TO an end. Rev. Mr..
Watson, who did most of the preach
ing left Wednesday for his home in
South Carolina He carried with him
the blessings of many a glad hearted
college boy. This has been a most won
derful awakening. From the presi-
dent of the College Y. NJ c. A., it IS
learned that there are only five stu
dents on the campus and two who live
in the city that are not processing
christians. There were fOrty-five CONVEX
sions during the meetings. DIR. kllgo
preached the closing sermon on
Growth in Christ. 1t was suitable to
the feelings Of most of those present.
He portrayed the life they must live
who become christians. 1t was one Of
the greatest discourses your reporter
has ever heard him deliver. He said
he would give young converts no Inn
its beyond which they must not go.
He would give rather the positive IN
junction to live the christian life. We
say there is no harm in game OF CARDS.
or i'm a dance, or in social cup, ~ y
ONLY a little pleasure. pleasure! All
I want to know of such things is That
they are a pleasure. While the buf-
dens which Christ bore arc looking for
shoulders to carry them we have no
right to 60 about seeking pleasure.
Under such circumstances pleasure IS
a sin III all you get out of thing Is
pleasure, avoid it with care, said Dr.
Kilgo Afterwards: ''In many respects
this is the most wonderful meeting
have ever seen"
On Friday evening the Hesperian
Society with suitable ceremonies plac-
ed in position the new picture of Cal
honn. Mr.. Mercer delivered an Grafton
on Calhoun as an orator; Mr.. Newlin
read b paper on Calhoun as states
man and Mr.. Maytubby delivered an
Grafton on Calhoun as a patriot. The
tributes were excellently prepared and
showed great regard for the histori-
cal spirit The portrait is an
excellent piece Of work from the
hands Of Beridon, of Baltimore.
1t was considered so great success
that the Johns Hopkins University or
dered duplicae for its Southern his

other articles the conclusion of the late

CURE For HEADACHE.

As a remedy for all forms headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the
very best. 1T effects a permanent cure
and the most dreaded habitual sick
headaches yield to its influence. We
urge all who are afflicted to procure a
bottle and give this remedy fair trial.
In case of habitual constipation Elec-
trio Bitters cures by giving the needed
tone to the bowels, and few cases long
resist this medicine. Try it once.
Large bottles only fifty cents, at John
