CONCRETE Walks MUST WAIT

The college has long stretches of
walks between the different buildings
on the campus, and it has been hoped
that these could be made of concrete.
Under the present special burdens of
the Institution, however, the concrete
walks within the College campus
have to be given up, and the
board walks and gravel walks will
be repaired and renewed. The same
thing is true of the Campus fences.
These ought to be of a permanent
character, and such as to give sense
Of seclusion, protecting the Ladies
Hall yard, Library ETC., from the noise
OF heavy traffic on the ridgeway aven.
ue from Boone Tavern toward the
station. But this also is given up,
and very simple wire fences will be
built where the old board fences have
given way.

getting the news of the Berea Repub-

about it, too. But some of the gentle
men with an ingrowing crouch have
stated that we must have had the
papers printed before the meeting
was held. That shows how little they
know about hustling. Not a word Of
the article that appeared had been
written, much less set up, till during
the Republican convention. AS fast as
the action of the convention became
known the article was written. and

WATCH FOR THIS

Next week will begin the fine series
of articles by Francis o. Clark on the
need of intensive cultivation in the
mountains, and the methods by which
1t can best be brought about. These
articles are intended to give to read
ers Of The Citizen many Of the adj
vantages which could be derived only
by attending an agricultural college.
They may not be quite as good as go
ing to school, but they are next best.
Every farmer who wants to keep up
with the times, and get as much as
possible for his hard work, will want
to read these articles carefully, for
every one of them will have sugges-
lions that are worth good hard money
to any mountain farmer. We all know
that our hills are being worn out, and
that soon we will have to raise en-
ough to support ourselves on our
bottom lands. Mr.. Clark will tell
US how it can be done-for 1t can
be done. Watch for the first article
next week.
Another Western Letter by Prof.
Dodge next week, too. These will soon
end, as the professor is returning, and
you want to read every one carefully.
