Prof. J, J. Lee, county super

ceived the following letter from
President Stone, showing that

if more than her quota desire TO

blank certificates Of selection and

desire to call your attention to the
Apportionment Of Students to
Counties, on pages 1918 show
ing that your county is entitled to
6 new students next session.
beg, also, to call your atten-
ton to the extract from the laws
in the Code as revised by the last
legislature, from which ] quote
the following:
''The superintendent OF each
county, after due notice publish
ed, with the consent Of the board
Of supervisors, shall give certiii-
Gates Of selection TO the number
new students to which the county
is entitled, and this in addition to
those galready in the college, if
any. And this selection OF new
students shall be made by draw.
ing.
"'The certificates of selection
shall be attested by the clerk Of
the board of supervisors under its
seal, and shall entitle the holder
to admission into the College, with
all its privileges, to pursue all the
industrial branches selected, and
to enter the sub-class or class for
which he is fitted. -
From the above you will see
that the law has been changed SO
that applicants get their appoint
ments simply by drawing, in any
way you choose to have them
draw, instead of by competitive
examination. They will be ex-
amined after they arrive at the
college.
Should any above your conty's
quota desire to come, send them
along and we will give them a
place belonging to some county
not represented. ! trust that we

Rich Hill Review.
The Reviews report of DR.. Will.
liams disgust at the condition Of
Buffers streets has made q few OF
the beys up there hot under the
collar. Whenever you mention a
division of the court terms yeu
scratch sore spot on Butler, and
it doesn't make any difference who
mentions it. But that DR.. Williams
little kick, as forwarded by the Re.
view, is having q sslutary effect ie
evidenced by the statement in the
TIMBs that citizens there have sssuc.
eseasd in raising about $1,000 frer
the property owners and business
men for the purpose of macadamiz-
ing Ohio street to the depot. While
this is coed beginning, it is not
sufficient, and good strong pull
will have to be made to secure this
result" We are satisfied that with
the assistance of DR.. Williams of
Hums and the Rich Hill Review the
esunty seat will eventually secure
streets that will accommodate the
demands of travel at least from
Adrian and Rich Hill. But If we're
wrong in this statement, just az
