We take pleasure in calling at
tention to the notice in another
culumn of the Mississippi Col
lege. This is recognized as one
of the leading educational insti-
tutions of the South, and is pre-
sided ever by DR.. W. T. Lowry,
one of the most prominent divines
of the Baptist denomination. The
institution deserves the patron
age and support of the citizenship
of the State.
A movement is on foot among
the members of Methodist Church
to raise money to purchase a new
pipe organ. The members OF the
congregation of that denomina-
ton will doubtless feel an interest
in the matter, and r urged to
lend their aid to the laudable
efforts which will be made to Sc
cure funds necessary for the pur-
chase of the instrument. Mem
bers of the church and congrega-
ton will be waited on at an early
day by committee and %subscrip-
ton taken for the fund. We trust
that all will gladly and heartily
respond.
The normal and SINNER school
will close tomorrow. In many
respects it has been the most
successful held at the University
or in the State. The attendance
has been decidedly the largest of
any previous normal, the number
registering being nearly eight
hundred. Some of the most dis
tinguished educators in the Uni
ted States have attended the nor
NAL and delivered lectures which
were brilliant and instructive.
Every department of school work
was successfully represented.
Several hundred teachers stood
the teachers examinations on
Wednesday and Thursday.
The Woman's College is an ed
vocational institution of which we
are all proud, and it gives US
|, great pleasure to state that the
prospect is decidedly f~lattering
for a larger attendance at the
opening on Sept. 8, than has ever
been known in its history. There
were more than one hundred pu-
, pills in the boarding department
last term but we are reliably in
formed that many more are ex-
pected in September and thai
Pres. Mcintosh is arranging fol
, more dormitory room. The repu'
tation of this splendid college fol-
: girls and young ladies is rapidly

and exceptional advantages of
