mine this for himself and we court
comparison with any of our contem-
poraries.

for ladies' fine dress goods. He col
lects 50 in advance and is to ship
the goods at once and later exper

THE placing of fire plugs on the
college campus Is very wise move
and everyone is glad to see them in
position. Had there been an adequate
water supply the Mechanical Hall

carry it out successfully. The build
ings now have ample protection from

good law passed taxing them out OF
existence but our supreme court
knocked it out. The Tennessee law
may be one that will stand and We
hope to see it enacted in the state.
