foot. The young man is in the

stewart, that he is doing very we'll

he may withstand the shock and

 "One of the McIver family negroes. named Giles, worked on the college farm Giles sometimes got drunk Once his bibulous habits got him into trouble and he ran away and nothing was heard from him for somc' time. Che day Dr. McIver received letter from him from Norfolk, Va, asking for n loan of $50. He did not wait to write. He telegraphed the money. few mornings later, Giles was discoV- cred at work at his old duties on the farm as if nothing had happened. No- body knew when he came Nobody asked explanations.
