The Summer school Of the South, at
Knoxville, Tenn, will be. doubtless, the
best equipped institution of the kind that
has ever offered its services TO the teachers
and students of the South. There will be
more than forty professors in the faculty,
coming from ten universities, FIVE colleges,
nine normal schools and other institutions of
learning. The tuition is free other than the

our southern teachers, but students, as well,
will take advantage Of ehis extraordinary OPP

the light, cold rain that was driving
before the stiff breeze, but the damp,

and when he found himself locked out,
he hammered the door and beloved

The rain began pouring down and the
wind drove It in on him till he was wet
as a drowned cat and nearly frozen.
Still he could not wake his wife. The
door was 20 strong he couldn't break
it in, so he waded out into the wet
grass and the torrents downpour,
went around to the bedroom window,
smashed in a glass and finally yelled
his wife awake. She thought It was q

her screams. The hired girl finally
