Water Valley The Baptist state
convention will meet next year in
Yazoo City at 10 a. IN. Wednesday
before the second Sunday in July,
1908. Meridian made a strong plea
for the meeting next year, but was
defeated.
A touching scene and joyous one
was enacted in the convent on when
the seventy fifth annual report of the
board of trustees of Mississippi Col
lege was read. The document was es-
peoially interesting in that it re-
counted the fact that the endowment
campaign that was so vigorously
prosecuted during the year by Presi-
dent Lowery successfully ended on
the first day of July.
Last year the American Educa
tional Society Of New York City, to
which John D. Rockefeller is large
contributor each year for the benefit
of struggling colleges, proposed to
give to Mississippi College sl6, 900 on
condition that Mississippi Baptists
should raise 81, 600 which, added to
the endowment fund already on hand,
would make the endowment 500, 900.
The proposition was at once accept
ed and the going of DR.. Lowry up
and down the land was the occasion
of triumph after triumph. The report
of the board of trustees as read shows
that the college went beyond the
work laid out originally, footing up
the splendid sum of $50, 0o0 The an
nouncement was the occasion of great
rejoicing in the convention.
