Good plays are like good wine, the

US this season in a novel bill, which he
calls "On and of the stage" 1t con-
sists of two plays in one night, "The
Last Call, a very beautiful and inter
esting one act play, written expressly
for him, full Of human interest, quaint
comedy and satire, and that most de-
lightful romantic play OF "lngomar,
the Barbarian Mr.. Downing will
appear in both plays; in the first as
"The TragedIan at Home" and in the
latter character in which he stands
without a rival on the American or
English stage. The date for his APP
pearance is November %, 1901. He
will be ably assisted by members OF
his own company.

Our Tobacco Market.

1t is gratifying to know, and the In
formation comes from one Of our best
informed and most active tobacco re-
representatives., that our local market
never opened under brighter auspices,
nor with brighter outlook. All low
grades Of the weed are selling at I'M
usually good prices and the promise is
that the high water market will be
maintained with reference to all
grades.
Competition will be active too, as not
only the large companies. such az the
American Tobacco Company, are re-
presented on our books besides private
concerns OF good repute and with sbun-
dant capital behind them; and this
means good cheer for town and coun-
try alike, and as We trust, insures a
bright and happy Christmas time.
In this connection we have but one
lament, and this is found in the fact
that the bright tobacco raised in this
section is all sold in another market
Why not sell it in Farmville? Let
some satisfactory answer be given to
this question. And while on this sub
ject we want to remind the farmers
that never before in the history Of the
Oldest Of them were farm products as a
general rule commanding higher
prices. From eggs up and eggs down
the rule is high prices, and OF this we
are glad tho the Herald dollar-mark is
still retained and job work is even
cheaper than when wheat was 80 cents
and eggs one cent apiece.

ATLANTA is FAVORED
Az Location for Founding Of Great
Presbyterian college-speelal Con-
ference Acts Upon the Matter.

The champions of the proposal to
remove Columbia Theological semi
nary and the Southwestern Presbyte-
rlan university from their present To-
cations and to merge them into one
college to be situated in Atlanta scor'
ed a distinct victory In the meetings
of the members OF the conference IN
Atlanta.
The special conference, in which the
synods Of seven states were repre-
sented, by a vote of Is to 3, has recon-
mended the founding OF the institu'
ton at the Georgia capital, and the
prevailing opinion Of the conferees is
that the Presbyterlans OF the south
will abide by the action of the confer
ence.
A committee was appointed to draft
and submit plan of combination, to
be suggested to the various state
Bynods, and by another Overwhelming
vote this plan was adopted, the con-
ference in so doing recommending
that all the Cynods concerned appoint,
OF their next meetings, members OF
a provisional board of trustees for the
new university.
A minority report was offered by
three members OF the conference, DR..
w. McF Alexander, of New Orleans,
the chairman; d. w. Pipes and A. j.
Mckay, who were the only ones vot'
ing against the recommendations
finally made by the conference.
After extending vote OF thanks to
the people of Atlanta, the chamber OF
commerce and the Agnes Scott insti-
tute, the conference adjourned sine
die, leaving the ultimate fate OF the
university project in the hands of sew
en- synods. No further action can be
taken until the synods meet next fall,
but all the advantages are with the
university movement.
II established In Atlanta the univer'
sity will be located TO the northeast
Of the city, between Atlanta and De
catur.
The site will be part of 600 acres
OF beautiful wooded hills, now the
property of the Klrkwood Land Com.
pany, and 1t Is this company which
will donate the lands for the campus.
