The history of the women was deliv-
cred by Miss Bertha Harris Bangs. whose
account of the four years life of the
members of the womens division was
very interesting.
The class ode was rendered as follows:
CLASS ODE.
Air: love Makes the World Go Round"
Four happy years we have spent with
Here in these dear college halls.
True to our classmates we eer will tie
Th hough we go out from these walls.
We gather here with our hearts so free
And to thee we'll ever be true.
Wen love thee ever.
Nothing can sever
Our love for the Gray and the Blue.
Chorus
Colby, our college home so dear.
Memories fond will center here.
There is no place upon this earth
To Nineteen-eight of so much worth.
We come to thee this day with praise;
Ever to thee our songs We'll raise,
Thee we are leaving. and we are grieving.
Colby, our college home.
When we have parted and each gone his
Tho far from each one we stray.
Often We'll think of the bright happy
dlVS
When Ninctcen-eiSht sang thy praise.
While we as classmates by gray and by
gold
Are bound to each other in love,
Wen e'er remember
With thoughts so tender
Our love for the Gray and the Blue.
Chorus
The poems were delivered by George
Abner Could and Miss Abbie Frances
Weed They were both fine articles and
were well delivered.

Opposition to
tFlGSidGWa|kS
Should STOP

The Asheville Citizen of Mon
day, says: The decision of the
supreme court in case of the
commissioners of the town of
Hendersonville VS.. Charles A.
Webb prevents such an issue of
bonds by the town of Henderson
vile as was contemplated.
The town commissioners some
time ago decided to issue $18, 600
worth of bonds for the improve
ment of the town streets. and
contracted with Charles A. Webb
of this city for their flotation
Doubling the validity of the
bonds which the town proposed
to issue, Mr.. Webb and the
commissioner filed a case in the
superior court, and upon an ag-
reed statement of facts, Judge
Ward held that the contemplated
issue of bonds would be valid, In
order to test the question thorou-
ghly, the case taken to tho sup
RENE court which now reverses
Judge Wards decision and holds
the bonds invalid.
Mr.. Webb said last night that
the decision tnrned upon the
question of whether or not it was
necessary under the town charter
for the issue of bonds to be ratifi-
ed first at town election. The
supreme conrt decided that the
commissioners had no right to
issue such bonds without first
having submitted the question
Of bonding the town to the people
at an election.
Mr.. Webb said he has no infor-
nation as to what course the COM
missioners would pursue next.
The town authorities have not
vet decided what action to take.
The walks are a good thing
and all opposition to the improve
ment should stop.

Of Trade
and Its Booklet
in Buffalo.
Only One Serious
Defect. There Is
No Mail Order
House Ad. On the
back Cover Page.

The Board of Trades received
part of their town booklets.
The views are said to be rep
resentative of this town and
county. Maybe.
The reading matter is punched
together in the front part of the
book, the pictures in the back.
The paper is of good quality,
the press work excellent, but
the designing and arrangement
is wretched.
1t looks like a machinery cat
alog.
If it represents beautiful Hen
dersonville--!
A business house is judged by
the appearance of it's represen-
tives.
So beautiful Hendersonville
will be judged by this alleged
representative.
The same cuts, the same paper,
properly arranged would have
improved the appearance of the
job about 1000 per cent.
1t is said-the cover will be
changed on the balance of the
order.
1t ought to be!
A. Ficker's store is marked
''The First National Bank. I"
This is news. Maybe the First
National is going to swap, only
they don't know it yet.
But these are only minor de-
fects.
There's an imprint of a Buffa-
10 printing house in the front
part of the book.
To be consistent there should
also be a full page advertisement
of Seares, Roebuck & Co., or
John Wanamaker, on the back
cover.
This would have been appreci-
'ated by the merchants and bust
ness men of Hendersonville.
The Buffalo printing house,
like Wanamaker and others of
his kind, pay taxes in Hender-
sonville. They contribute to the
churches here. They help build
railroads and lakes and a few
things like that. They spend
their money here.
Sure!
But the Hendersonville Board
of Trade has done got their
booklet.
Now it's time this city, this
beautiful city. the finest, most at.
tractive, with the most public spir.
tied and progressive citizens tc
be found anywhere on the top side
of Gods green footstool, had a
board of trade which represented
the people of the town!

Death Of Gen. Lee. !
Capt. Toms Experience

VICKSBURG. Miss. May %.
Within sight of the fields on
which he had fought his hardest
battles during the civil war and
on the same ground where he had
welcomed and entertained his
former foes less than a week ago,
General S. D. Lee commander-in-
chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, and one of the last
three surviving lieutenant gener-
ais of the Confederacy, died here
today in Vicksburg National Mil
itary park, at the residence of
the park commission,
The above Associated Press

Toms the time during the war
when he almost was the cause of
Gen, Lees death, and this is how
the Captain tells the story:

was given a hundred men anc
told to guard a certain road.
Il deployed the men across the
highway, about five feet apart
and into the woods for a short
distance on either side. The
night was black as ink. You
could not see a dozen PAGES in
front of you, We had not long
been on guard when we heard
a troop of cavalry approaching.
The road was paved, and the
thunder of the horses hoofs came
rapidly nearer and yet nearer.
They were close upon us. The
command to halt was given. II
was unheeded and a hundred ri.
fies spat their tongues Of flame
into the darkness and a hundred
leaden messengers of death sped
on their way. The firing was
continued all along the line and
soon every picket was blazing
away, he knew not at what.
There were cries in front of
us, hoarse words of command,
and the troop of horseman turnee
in their tracks and fled.
1t was not until the next morn
ing," continued the captain,
pulling a chair towards him anc
resting his foot uponit, that we
discovered we had fired upon anC
almost killed Gen. Lee, who had
been reconoitering with his
staff and been caught between
the two lines. He was uninjured
but twas a narrow escape.
When l saw the General il
Asheville not long ago, recalled
this experience to him. He rec
objected it distinctly, but his mem
ory played him a trick, as he wa
confident it occurred down ir
Georgia, which wassa mistake. -
