The president, faculty and students

prior to opening of regular session. 1t
was st. Louis this time, and here are
some observations elected by their visit
from the Globe Democrat:
Mississippi girls are as sweet
tempered IS the name OF their
State is mellihuous. and also rs
fiery as their stalwart brothers; while
this may seem paradox, it is
just this kind of = paradox that
suits the description of the femininity
of this section of the Sunny South.
1t is in Mississippi where the Southern
accent attains its fullest development,
where the RS disappear entirely from
the language, and all the harshnesses
and irregularities of the Anglo-Saxon
are eradicated. Mississippi English Is

while it takes the widest liberties with
English as it is spoken in New England
it adds charm as beautiful as the moss
that d,apes and softens her giant live
oaks. st. Louis is beginning to look for

sissippi girls as the storm-bound deni

"Unjust Pension Law"

We copy to indorse very heartily the
following from Aberdeen Examiner:
when the Legislature was considering
the State pension appropriation, the
Examiner appealed to it to do away
with the classification system, and pro-
vide for prorata distribution. This
plan was rejected, the old scheme was
adhered to, and so we find, though the
appropriation was doubled, Afew score
are made comfortable by allowances of
400 or $50 per annum, while the vast
pajority, who are just needy, and
no are probably just rs dependent
pom their relations and friends, are
Asld down to beggarly pittance.
