Iron In The Wa ter.

The Artesaan Well has begun to
show around the ground where out
flow strikes, d reddish celebration.
This would indicate that the water
is slightly impregnated with Iron.
The coloring on the ground and other
objects TOUGHER by the flowing stream
has come into notice slowly, but just
now getting pronounced enough to
be perceived. Iron is a desirable
property in drinking water, having
exceptional tonic value. The ap
pearance of tie water is perfectly
clear, so crystalline as to make it i'm
possible for the naked eye to discover
the organic matter which furnishes
the tint deposit where long subjec-
ted to material with which it comes
in contact. SO far it does not make
any discoloration upon vessels in
which it is kept standing, this is
due probably to frequent replenish-
ments. We would very much like to
see a critical analysis made of the
beautiful fluid.

ATHENS SCHOOL OPENS.
Female College Has Most FIatterine
Prospect In Its History.


Athens. September 20.-(SpeciaL 1.-The
sixtieth annual session of the Athens Fe-
male college opened yesterday with the
most flattering prospects In It's entire his
tory. Miss Mary N. Moore the president,
received the heartiest congratulations over
the magnificent showing made on the first
day, every room in the house being filled
and many applications were turned down
for want of room. More than 100 young
ladies from a distance were on hand to
matriculate. and the opening exercises
were delightful. DR., Boyd. presiding elder
OF the district, DIR. Dubose of the State
university, Dr. Henry, pastor of the Meth
odist church and others, made happy
speeches, but it remained for the brilliant
president to deliver the address of the
occasion, which she did to the entire sat
isfaction of her many friends.
Miss Moore. who is at the head of the
institution, and who has brought to the
college new life and the greatest pros
perity 1t has ever enjoyed, is a native
Albanian, still in her twenties, is
woman of wonderful executive ability, in
fact is a wonder when it comes to finance
and business methods She took charge
Of the college when 1t was practically
dead, and is now where she must have
other dormitories or turn away as many
as she takes. The college is one of the
oldest in the world for the higher educa-
ton of women, and for the second time
is being managed In its entirety by
lady. In the days prior to the war Mad
anne Childes was president and made a
success for those times, but none of the
presidents for the past sixty years have
done what she is doing and the town
feels its influence.
