Professor Harrison Honored

The Charlottesville Progress OF
last Thursday says: Professor
James A. Harrison of the Univer-
sity, has been invited to Tu.
lane University, New Orleans, on
March 10th, to receive the honor
airy degree of LII. d. He will
leave the University on OF about
March 5th, and will be absent "a
week or more.
This is the third time this dis
tinction has been conferred upon
Professor Harrison, but he appreci-
ates this even more. if possible,
than his former honors. This
feeling is due in part, no doubt, to
the fact that he is native of
Louisiana and is naturally graft
fed to be remembered thus by his
native State.
Before coming to the University
Professor Harrison was appointed
to Tulane at a salary of 1000 a
year, but declined to accept on
account Of the malarial nature of
the Louisiana climate.

We entered upon our TENTH YEAR in business

equipped than ever before to handle the business
entrusted to us, and to display the large stock Of
goods we carry. The increase IN rent, etc, in
Cured by this enlargement expect to

handle more business in given length of time.
On Closing our Books January 31st,
we found we had made good substantial IN
crease any former year. For this we thank
our friends and in token of our appreciation, we
promise yet more efficient service during this year,
to all who deem to their interest to Patronize us.
We have opened up new department with
beautiful line of WHITE WAISTINGS and the
tendency being toward lighter weights, the prices
are slightly lower than last years. Next to
white, champagne will probably be the most popu-
