GENEsEO SCHOOL MAY BE
CHANGED INTO A COLLEGE

Rev. w. S. Marquis. of this city. was
in Geneseo yesterday where he at
tended a meeting of the board of trus-
trees of the Geneseo College institute
at which it was practically decided to
increase the scope of the institution
to embrace all the work done in the
standard college.
Before this can be done, it will be
necessary to secure the cooperation
of the college board of the Presbyter-
ian church, and to make certain
changes in the articles of incorpora-
ton. Whether or not the cooperation
of the board can be secured will de
pand largely on the apparent local in
terest and enthusiasm. The plan to
develope a college in Geneseo involves
all that has been previously planned
for the institute in the way of a new
building, endowment, equipment,
etc. and necessitates the enlargement
of those plans to meet the larger
needs of a college.
a committee. composed of Rev
.harquis and Prof. Thompson was APP
pointed to make preliminary plans and
go to New York to lay the matter be-
fore the college board.

Harder Work In Country.

81 contend it is a mistaken idea that
it is easier to teach a country school
than one in the city. In the country
the teacher stands virtually alone in
the direction of her school. In the
city she has the principal and super
intendent. besides older heads in the
same building with her to whom she
can appeal for counsel. My advice
is for the country schools to engage
the best of teachers and pay them
enough to hold them"

My purpose is to raise the stan

A gentlemanly friend of mine, writes
Artemus Ward, came one day with tears
in his eyes.
I said "Why those weeps?"
He said he had mortgage on his farm
aud wanted to borrow two hundred dol
lars.
I lent him the money, and he went
away.
Some time after, he returned with more
tears. He said he must leave me forever

red dollars he borrowed. He was much

upon him, so told him ! would throw OIL

& "Old friend, I won't allow you to outdo
me in liberality; I'll throw off the other
hundred"
And thus he discharged the debt.

A little while ago the newly elected
mayor of provincial town was about to
make his first journey in that capacity
through the place. The townspeople had
arranged that from an arch of flowers
under which he was to pass, floral crown
should hang, surmounted by the words
"He we'll deserves it," But the wind blew
away the crown and when the pompous

ElOpED WITH COACHMAN.
The Shocking Conduct of Northern White
Society Woman.

KALAMAZOO, MICH, January 1S.-Miss
Hazel Lester, daughter of Herbert Lester,
leading Buffalo stock broker, eloped
this morning with Harley Morris, color.
ed coachman employed by L. Houghton,
of this city. Miss Lester for some time
past has been visiting Miss Marie Hough-
ton, one of the young society leaders here.
Word was received about noon from
the couple at Albion, stating the facts.
Where Morris and Miss Lester went from
the college town is not known, andbeyond
the message sent to the Houghtons moth
ing is known of their whereabouts.
In 1900 it is stated that Morris was in
the employ of Herbert Lester at Buffalo,
having charge of his stables. Lester has
been notified of his daughters escapade,
but no word has as yet been received from
him.
Miss Lester is a handsome, decided
blonde, and had always borne a splendid
reputation IN the circles IN "nlcn sne
moved. Morris came to the city almost
al the same time as Miss Lester, and pre-
concerted arrangement is thought to have
existed.
Outside of the fact that Morris at one
time was employed by Lester at Buffalo,
nothing is known of his history. He is
almost white, those constantly associating g
with him being the only ones able to de-
tect African blood.
The facts regarding the elopement have
been practically suppressed in this city,
only few connected with the family be-
ing aware of the affair. 1t is thought that
the couple are headed for Canada. Inquiry
this evening failed to reveal any attempt
on their part to secure a license or to be
married.

while feeling bad I was about to throw

cluded to try it and while I had no faith
in it I felt better after the scond dose.

s. The Bamberg Banking Co. had deposits
s of $117, 900 on the first of January and
the Denmark bank $65, 900, yet We will
warrant that not $4,000 is returned for
taxes this year. When the time for
5 making returns expires we are going to
get the actual amount Of money returned,
from the Auditor, and publish it 80 as to
show the discrepancy.
~
This newspaper has always advocated
3 low values for tax returns, for in this way
I'VE escape part of the burden Of State

turn ALL HIS PROPERTY. If all the
property in Bamberg county was return
led for taxation we could get out of debt
in one year on the present levy. And it
need not be returned at anything like its
value, either.
