COL. CARR'S GENEROUS OFFER.
Col. Julian S. Carr has very gen.
erously offered to give $3.50 year
to establish the "Lida Carr Fellow

School at Greensboro. A special to
the Nezos and Observer thus refers TO
letter received by President McIver
from Col. Carr conveying intelligence
of his purpose. The account says:
a letter had just come from Colonel
Julian S. Carr in reply to one from
DR.. Mclver; opening it, DR.. McIver
was SO overcome that he could not help
reading the good news, although the
writer had asked him not to do so.
Col. Carr offered to give s25o a year
to establish the Ida Carr fellowship,
and there was certain grace and pa
thos that will be appreciated by all
parents when he added, "my dear
daughter having married into another
State, my purpose and desire is to per-
petuate and keep alive her name in
the State of her nativity, where she
was SO beloved and SO deservedly
popular" The whole house broke
out into spontaneous applause at this

are made in very simple fashion with
yoke or tichu effects. Cotton materials

vogue. Sometimes the SIX irt has an adj

plain with a beautifully embroidered
waist. BibbOns as belts and sashes are
generally worn. Severely plain tailor
