ReyiYes Old Claim.

Dispositions of a number of old
citizens of Missouri we're taken this
week at Columbia to s%ubstantiate a
claim of s17 1875 for damage done to
the property Of Missouri University by
Federal troops during the Civil War.
Merrill's Horse, a regiment of Federal
cavalry, was quartered in the Univer-
sity buildings for neatly two years
from December 1861. A claim for
damage done by it was presented by
the University in 1856 aud approved
shortly afterwards by a military com
mission appointed by General Han
cock consisting Of General Penrose,
now OF Denver, Colo; Capt, j. H
Ro. Inns OF the U. S. Navy and Lieut..
Brownwell of the U. S. Army, both
now dead. Four years later the Cen
eral Auditor refused to allow the find
ing OF the commission on the ground
that to do so would open other claims
eni bankrupt the government. Re-
Gently Federal policy concerning such
allowances has changed aud the Uni
versity claim is revived.

Miss Frances Prosser.
Louis Christian Advocate:

st. Louis Christian Advocate;
Central College Tor Women, Licking
ton, Mo-, has been fortunate in having
the CONTINUOUS service for several
years of so scholarly and reiued a
lady as Miss Frances l.. Prosser. OF
her Rev. F. Menelee, x-President OF
L berty Ladies' College, says: "Miss
Prosser was our first presiding teacher.
She is n of the best organizers l
have ever known. As a teacher, l do
not know her superior"
The pleasing culture which marks
the student body at Central is in 10
small way due to the Lady Principal,
who is also professor of English Lam
guage and Literature. Miss Prosser
continues to be y student, having pur-
sued postgraduate work at The Col
lege Of Liberal Arts, The University Of
Chicago, and having kept herself
abreast of all the best modern litera-
ture. In gentle grace and Christian
conduct she is a noble example to hel
pupils, and in that way as we'll as py
faithful precept leads them into The
Christian life.

is proposed to pay for it by offerings

RAILROAD TO SALUDA.
People of Saluda Are Determined to
Have It and it Ought To Be
Brought by Newberry

Saluda has determined to have
railroad. So says a citizen of the
town has been in Newberry the past
several days. The road which is de-
sired and which he says Saluda is 60
ing to have in the very near future.
will tap the C., c. &, A., the branch OF
the Southern between Columbia and
Augusta. somewhere about Wards
OF Johnston, and from that point will
be built to Saluda. From Saluda it
will be carried either to Newberry or
to Greenwood. ne says. There are
many reasons why Newberry should
bestir herself in encouraging the
building of the road, and there is
every reason why she should see to
it that when the road is built it is
brought to 'Newberry.
"Saluda is rich farming country"
said the gentleman from Saluda. "en-

in distance from thirteen to twenty
two miles. Batesburg. Monetta,

some time in Saluda recently looking
over the route.
The town has already voted bonds

making $4,000 Saluda will give for
the aid OF the railroad. This amount
she will give now. and she will give
much more than that" he concluded.
Newberry is now enjoying large
trade from the people of Saluda. 4
railroad built from Saluda to any
other point than Newberry mea1s
that this trade will be cut off almost
entirely.
There are many other pressing rea-
sons why railroad from Saluda
should be brought to Newberry.
From the standpoint OF Saluda, New
berry is the most logical point to
which to run the road. and whether
or not Newberry will secure it de-
pends upon Newberry's efforts. 1t
is going to be built soon or latter.
