 Bowling Contest.
 The bowling enthusiasts are getting in shape for the contest that is being ar ranged with the team from Anniston. The club has many good athletes, that are capable of making fine scores in bowling, and hopes to take the contest from An niston with little trouble. The details of the event have not yet been completed.
 The gymnasium work in all classes, un- der the direction of Professor Miles, is progressing and the club members are enthusiastic over the excellent prospects for the season. President w. D. Nesbitt is cooperating with the entertainment committee and the officers of the club in securing as many interesting features as possible.
 The officers are now in correspondence with several expert professional wrestlers with a view of securing their services for a series of wrestling matches in the spring.
 This class of entertainment proved very successful last year when the gymnasium was filled on each occasion. Amateur Nrestlers instructed by the professionals will train and have a number of matches The instruction of Professor Dwyer of Atlanta last year has developed several fine wrestlers in the club and the matches this year will be even more interesting than those of last season.
