Information About the University,

scarcely be purchased with money, the

dollars more to advantage than by Wis
iting Columbia and seeing what opor,
tunities are there offered for the bene-
fit OF our boys and girls, whether they
live in town or on the farm. The uni
versity is eminently the school for the
farmer boy.
But II one can not go to Columbia

they sold n hundred and fifty gal
Ions of beer daily, and there are eight
