which takes place to-day, a saying of
about twenty-five hundred dollars FOR the
year, will be made without detriment to
the efficiency Of the school,
A steady growth in -he number OF stu
dents is most gratifying, and as one looks
over the student body toe impression one
gets finds expression in the declaration that
a brighter and more intelligent lot OF young
ladies and Young gentlemen cannot be
found in any institution of learning.
The physical condition Of the entire plant
is as nearly perfect as it can be The
buildings have been renovated and heauti-
fed, the dining room having been newly
papered, painted and refurnished with

made especially home-likeaad attractive

abundant shade, with its athletic grounds,
its dormitories, chapel and dwellings fol

a home for students as can be found any
where.
The opportunity for students to do in

appreciated By the students and patrons Of

his wife, Fannie, with their 4-year-o1d

GEoRGlA's FULL VOTE.
Consolidation of 1876 Counties Shows
More than $4,000.

Atlanta, Oct. 13.-The consolidation
of the vote in the state election of
Wednesday, Oct, 5, for state house
officers was completed yesterday by
Secretary of State Phillip Cook, with
the exception Of that of two counties,
Appling and Rabun, whose returns
have not yet been received.
The returns from 135 counties show
a total vote of more than $4,000, and
there is practically no doubt that the
vote of the two counties yet to be
heard from will run the total state
vote up to 10000, which was the figure
given out yesterday.
The vote for governor was not con-
solidated by Secretary Cook, because
that comes in separate envelope ad-
dressed to the president of the SEN
ate ,and will be turned over to that
officer when the new senate meets
next June.
The indications are, however, that
Governor Terrell received about 66,-
600 to $1,000 votes.
