Passingo of the Cracker.

A Florida man is thus quoted in the
Washington Post: zone of the best
signs Of the times in Florida is the rap
idlywaning influence of the Cracker
The Cracker is a long-haired, sallow-
complexioned, freckle-faced native Of
the 'one-gallus' type, whose principal
occupation is whiting on dry goods
boxes and expectorating tobacco juice.
Let us thank the Lord that domina-
ton of the Cracker is about over. He
has ruled the destinies Of the state long
enough, and, being ignorant, prejudiced
and unprogressive, his sway was for
the general detriment."

ExcELLENT CROP PROSPECTS.

Western Canadian Farmers in Ex-
cellent Spirits.
The reports that have been received
from the farmers of the Canadian
Northwest are exceedingly good. The
June rains, which are looked upon as a
factor In forwarding the wheat crop and
is inestimable in forcing the growth,
have been numerous, and the wheat
fields are now in the highest condition.
The result will be that with the acreage
of this year and the prospect of a big
average, the lot of the Canadian farmer
is most enviable one. Along the lines
of the railway that have been construct
ed and those under construction, there
are still limited number of homesteads
that can be had actually free. In other
districts improved farms can be had at
low figures. The opportunity is now Of
fered all who desire to better their con-
dition, to take up lands there. Excellent
climate, good laws, free schools and the
best of social conditions. churches, socie-
ties, etc. For particulars and pam
phlets and information as to the best
means Of reaching there, apply to

ALMA COLLEGE OPEN
OTHER NOTES,

The fall term of college opened We'd
nesday morning under the most favor
able auspices of any time in its history.
Instead of following the usual custom of
having an address, President Bruske
had decided TO introduce the new mem
bers Of the faculty. Rev. Jay Clzbe,
the new professor Of bible and theism,
was the first TO receive the greeting of
the students In few well chosen re-
marks, he pointed out the place the
bible should hold in the college curricu-
lum and showed the great necessity
for bible study. Following Prof
Chzbe, Prof James Mitchell was intro
duced to his old friends, who accorded
him a rousing welcome back to his lima
Mater. He spoke of the warm place "A
man always held in his heart for his
college, of the peculiar fraternity of col
lege men, assuring US that he was proud
of the institution which gave HIM his
A. b. Prof Mitchell also urged upon
the students not to neglect the study of
modern languages since a thorough
knowledge of them was essential 20 real
scholarly attainment. Alma College
has long needed the services of COM
petent professor in athletics and seems
now TO have that need supplied. Prof.
John H. Rice said in the course of his
short talk that athletics would hence
forth be given their rightful place in the
college work. He also said that he was
confident of winning team this fall.
Prof. Glasson, principal of the music
department, and Miss Adelaide Smith,
Prof. of French and German, We're also
introduced. The attendance at the first
chapel exercise was larger than at any
time the last year, which means a
splendid increase in regular students.
The y NJ @. A. and Y. w. @. "A.
each rendered a very pleasant reception
at the close of prayer meeting Wednes-
day evening. The former was held i'll
the chapel, the latter in Ladies Hall.
All passed off pleasantly and many new
students were made 10 feel that they
We're truly among friends.
Glasses began work regularly yester-
day morning and soon the weary stu
dent with his arms full of books will be
a common sight along our streets.
Manager Beckner has challenged all
the Michigan colleges for games during
the football season. All feel sure that
Alma will make a big showing
The regular joint reception of the col.
lege christian associations will be held
in Ladies Hall tonight. Everyone is
! invited.
The college now furnishes five teach.
ers for the Union School.
OTHELLO.
