ures by the county court. Mr.,
Pitsnogle is very pleasant gentle
man and will fill the position in a
very creditable and satisfactory man

ing the position which was sought by
number of others.
1t does appear to looker-on as if
little more Christian charity about
commencement time would result in
having the baccalureate sermon
preached in a building large enough
to admit one half of the people who
wish to attend. This criticism is not
intended to apply specially to this
year but to the past and future.
