ever since His disappearance March
I'd, has practically been given up.
Every foot of the country hear Mr..
Armstrong; home has been covered
by searching parties, and the river
has been dragged and dynsmited
without yielding clue to the

Negro Problem" Messrs. Mayfield,
Brodie and Wells supported the
affirmative and made an excellent
showing in the face of great odds.
The negative was upheld by Messrs.
Sheppard, Scott and Clark for the
Zetegatheans. They made the most
of every point and were awarded
the decision. and the cup goes to
their society.

Will Ray has been secured as

brought about by thu refusal of
