duty day and night, early and late,
until the college was destroyed by
fire. Unfortunately the insurance
on them had expired, and although
the college has been re built, the
clock and chimes have not been re.
! placed, as useful and charming as
they were.
Meanwhile grandma has passed
to her heavenly home. Though
dead she ought to be yet speaking
IN that clock aud singing in those
chimes. She confidently and rea-
sonably expected that her gift
would be protected and preserved,
and its uses and purposes conserv-
ed to the thousands of young la
dies who shall throng those classic
halls in the generations to come.
We owe it to her, the college and
the church, to install another and
better plant, and to provide fund
the interest of which should and
could only be used to insure it
against destruction by fire and
storm.
There were more than thou
sand girls enrolled in Galloway
College during my connection with
it. | appeal to them to contribute
to this fund as they may be able.
But better still, agitate it and pre-
sent this call to others. To all who
have attended since, and will re-
turn, | beg to interest you and
yours. | crave for all of the many
friends of Galloway College par
ticipation in this good work, and
as much JOY to each of you as filled
the cup of Grandma Rison.
| do not wish any money sent
to me, but as soon as the money
needed has been subscribed, the
name of bank will be announced
that will received and receipt for
all money sent. Who will be first
to write me a postal or letter
giving me their own, and the
names and postoffice of others with
whom you wish me to correspond?
AS this is matter of state wide
interest, the friends of Galloway
being everywhere, | will thank the
Press of the State to publish this
and ministers to read it to their
congregations. JNo. II. DYE.

GALLOWAY COLLEGE CHIMES
DIR Dye Appeals For its Replace
ment by Popular Contributions

Soon after my election to the
presidency of Galloway College,
Mrs. Harriet G.. Rison of Little
Rock gave me one thousand dol
lars toward the purchase of a Clock
and Chimes for the college. An
important and timely contribution.
A valuable and enjoyable acquisi-
ton. They aided materially the
systematic and methodical man
agement of the institution, ringing
out the passing periods, within the
hearing Of all the faculty and all
the student body of all depart
ments of the college, and RECALLED
them with the delightful music of
the Chimes that sang in sweetest
strains every fifteen minutes, theil
inspiring salutation of hopefulness
and harmony, patience and pains
taking, happy continuance in we'll
doing. They soothed and sweet
ened the spirit of many a home
sick girl. They never sang sad
song.
When the college was on fire and
almost consumed, the flames leap
ing from story to story and vault
ing high into the air, columns
crumbling, pipe organ, pianos and
furniture falling, many pupils
praying, others crying and still
others wailing, above the din and
roar of it all, the Chimes rang, and
sang in dulcet strains. in seeming
ly sweeter voice and clearer and
more jubilant notes than ever be-
fore. And while the air was vi
brating with their farewell music,
the tower toppled and fell and the
clock and chimes collapsed forev-
err. Like the swan, they sang
their sweetest song when dying.
Grandma, as she was Familiarity
called, moved into the school to
educate two of her granddaughters
and incidentally to enjoy her gift
to the school. The girls and young
ladies in attendance during those
years, and the citizens of Searcy
and suburbs recall with pleasure
the great convenience of the clock
and the charm of the chimes. But
none did or could enjoy them as
much as dear old grandma. She
daily clipped the coupons of COM
pound interest on her investment,
in the sweet satisfaction that she
was contributing so much to the
pleasure and Improvement of so
many. She thanked God that she
had made the investment, and that
it brought to her and to others
such rich returns, such dividends
of joy.
The clock and chimes were on
