LITTLEToN FEMALE COLLEGE.
Its Relations to the North Carolina Confer
ence.
-LITTLEToN FEMALE COLLEGE

2-LITTLETON FEMALE COLLEGE
Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in
your paper to say that Littleton Female
College is now the exclusive property of
the N C. Conference.
In my article written December 1899,
ard published in the Raleigh Christian
Advocate and the Visitor l set forth the
facts that the conference owned three
fourths of the real estate of Littleton
Female College. This statement is cor
roborated by one written by Rev. DR..
Swindell, President of the Board of Trus-
tees. without my knowledge, and publish
ed on the first page OF the Raleigh Chris
tian Advocate August 10th, 1892. DR..
Swindell quotes resolution presented by
the Board Of Education and adopted by the
annual conference in Wilson and publish
ed in the minutes of the conference as
follows:
:. Whereas, the conference owns al
ready part Of the stock in Littleton Fee
male College by virtue of the charter;
and whereas the present management eff
fers to add sixty shares, valued at $4,000,
to that already in our hands.
Resolved /. That we appreciate this
liberal offer. and heartily recommend that
the same be accepted, and that the trus-
tees appointed to hold the stock belong
ing to the conference, be instructed to
take charge of and represent this also"
DR.. Swindell states further:
THE whole number of shares of stock
will probably not exceed eighty, and
hence the conference owns three
fourths interest in the institution. The
property was valued at $4,000 at that
time, and has been good deal improved
since then, and is constantly appreciatine
in value.
1.-The conference now owns about $4,000
worth OF property that did not cost it one
cent"
My entire ownership in the real estate,
of Littleton Female College, since Deem
Der 18TH 1890. when the sixty shares of
stock were donated to the conference,
has not at any time exceeded $500. where
as the property has appreciated in value
at the rate of about 81 800 per year.
The following statement was made by
the trustees at their recent meeting held
January 9th and 9Th, 1900:
After making an examination of the
status of the conference ownership in the
property of Littleton Female College we
find that the North Carolina Conference
owns siXtyfour shares CT stock out Of
mate of the value Of the property apart
from all Indebtedness is worth $15 900 in
stead of $4,000 as reported at the late SEES
sion of the conference.

The conference ownership was repre-
scented by siXty-four, shares of stock, all
that have ever been issued except q
shares. These 81 shares have, since the
meeting of the trustees in January, been
donated to the n. c. Conference. This
makes Littleton Female College the eX
elusive property of the conference. My
action in this matter is simply the carry
ing out Of the purpose formed by me when
[ entered upon educational work, and
the donation Of the twenty-one shares Of
stock by private owners has been made
very cheerfully and in order that the N.
c. Conference may become the exclusive
owner With the belief that the useful
ness of the institution will thereby be en-
HANGED.

BOIES RESIGNS.
Chief Dispatcher at Laramie Will Leave
Union Pacific.

Curtis A. Boies, chief dispatcher at
Laramie, has resigned the position and
will leave the city as soon as his sue
cessor can be selected. Mr.. Boies has
not made up his mind what to do in the
future. He has had in contemplation
for some time the idea of locating in
the south, but has not definitely deter
mined on his future course.
One thing is sure: If he desires to
resume his present occupation there
will be no lack of opportunity, for his
reputation as an able railroad man is
well known throughout the west, and
his services would be gladly accepted
by any road.
Who his successor at Laramie will be
could not be learned, and it is probable
no selection has yet been made. There
have been rumors that one Of the dis
patchers in the local office would re-
ceive promotion in the event of Mr..
Boies' resignation, but nothing Of
ficially confirming this has been given
out.

ERICKSON-SMITH.
Quiet Wedding of Mr.. A. Erickson and
Miss Artisee Smith.

A quiet but pretty wedding vas that
which took place last evening at 4O7
Fourth street, when Mr.. A. Erickson
ard Miss Artisee Smith were united in
marriage by Rev. F. T. Kruger of the
Methodist church.
The occasion was of an informal ma
ture, only a few persons, mostly rela-
tives, being present. The ceremony
took place at half past s and light re-
freshments were served to the guests
present. Miss Mary Gates attended the
bride and Mr.. j.. T. Orr acted as
grOsmsman. Mr.. and Mrs. Erickson
were the recipients Of many valuable
wedding presents, useful and ornament
al, many of their friends among the
university professors and school teach
ers being particularly thoughtful in this
respect.
Mr.. and Mrs. Erickson will at once
begin their married life in the pleas
antly situated home in which they were
married.
The principals in this interesting
event are so well and favorably known
to Laramie people that anything The
Republican could say would be super
tlous. Miss Smith has been an efficient
teacher in the public schools Of this
city for the past ten years and is a lead
er in church and literary circles. Mr..
Erickson, although educated for the
profession of teaching, being a gradu-
ate of the Missouri State Normal
school and a classmate Of Prof. Nelson
of the university, is making a success
