who came on a special tram tndt
leaves on the return trip this morning
in the beautifully decorated cars,
which are made handsome with the
college cclorS.
The representative company and its

of praise have been heard concerning
Col. Hollaway's splendid school. The
visit of the faculty and the cadets to
Raleigh is calculated to make many
staunch friends throughout the State
for this growing institution.

party came attracted much attention.

institution, and at nearly every sta

assembling to hear the lively college
songs. ana yelIs, many cheers beinS
given for the institution, which has
a loyal body of students. young men
who are proud of its record and OF the
advantages given them.
