Methodizts Are a Progressive Lot.

i1ulson Hudsonite: Carnegie has
offered the Wesleyan University ut
Mitchell S25, 900, conditionally. They
will have to raise S75, 900 themselves
first before they get it. DR.. Nichol-
son, president of the University. is
working hard TO get that sum. and
if anyone Can get it he certainly can.
He is n of the finest, best liked
men IN the state and we hope that
he meets with success in every way.
The Methodists of Mitchell are IA
progressive lot anyway. They are
going to build a new $50. 600 church,
and a SIC, 900 residence for the Presi-
dent of the University, too this year,
and will most certainly have to do
some pretty tall hustling before they
see all their plans materializt. but
they will no that, for they are hlls-
tiers second to none and their enter
prise knows no bounds.
