Mr.. Harrahan and his operating officials
made tour of inspection of the Illinois
Central and the Central of Georgia week
before last, but this trip is for the bene-
fit of the directors. The directors made
their first visit to Birmingham a year
ago, and In view OF the fact that Mr.. Pea
BODY and Mr.. Vanderbilt had never been
mere before they spent an afternoon in
the city, visiting the Southern club and
the country club, and one or two private
MONIES. They were then met by a large
and representative party of citizens with
automobiles. But on the present trip Mr..
Harahan and the directors are travelling
quietly and hence the absence of anything
like a reception.
When asked about business conditions
Mr.. Harahan said that there was con-
tinued Improvement throughout the coun-
try, and that the Illinois Central was
getting its share.

Company G Concert and Dance.

The concert given for the benefit
of Company G. Minnesota National
Guard, last evening atthe opera house
was highly entertaining event the
best concert given in Princeton for a
long time. It is to be regretted, how
ever, that the attendance was small,
for the concert was deserving of a
generous patronage. Every instru-
mental number on the program-the
orchestral selections, trombone solo
by Albert Moe and piano solo by
Miss Grace Kysor-were splendidly
executed and a reading by Miss Mar
garet I. King was especially good.
Mrs. G. A. Galley and Chas. Kopp
sang duet, ~ Live and Love Thee, -
in manner which elected much
applause, and Mrs. Galley also rem
dered a vocal solo, "The Flower
Song" from Faust-a beautiful selec-
tion excellently sung.
The dance was much better attended
than the concert, which it followed,
and all were we'll pleased with the
music rendered by the orchestra.

There is whole lot of sound doc
trine in the following excerpt from an
article approving of Sunday baseball
written by Ebert Hubbard and pub
lished in the New York American:
"The harmless pleasures of the
people in the past have been too few.
That which cultivates out-of-door
sports at the expense of indoor pas
times is good. When we have the
chance to get out in the sunshine we
should improve the opportunity. We
must breathe more, laugh more and
love more. Ozone and friendship
should be our stimulants let the
drugs and strong drink go forever.
Natural joys bring no headaches and
no heartaches. Play ball!'''
