smaller Numbers from other States. For
various reasons the college is to be con-
graduated on the number from this State.
The strength of college is not wholly de-

a college stick to each other in politics,
and they help each other in after life.
The makeup of the catalogue seems to
be exceptionally good In our desire to
help the college on to perfection we would
suggest that Government" and "Rules

ALEX C. DICK.
A Young Man Of Ability Splendid Char.
acter-Great Possibilities Peril.

Personally Mr.. Alex g. Dick of this
city is first class young man in every
respect. He is a good printer, too.
There is something yet to be developed
in him, but we are little apprehensive
as to his future.
With his good qualities he inherited q
musical talent, and herein lies the dan
ger. 1t would be sin for as competent,
as steady, and as good an all round young
man as Alex Dick is, to turn out to be a
fiddler. He performed on the violin in the
Methodist church choir last Sunday most
accpetably.
We are beginning to be alarmed for
Alexis future. He is dangerously near to
being good musician. Did you ever
know good fiddler that was worth a
tinkers dam?

The Rains.
Wet Lands and Biz Crops Of Grass.

The unprecedented long wet spell OF
weather has placed farmers in unprece-
dented condition as regards the cul-
tivation Of their crops. In some sections
title or no work has been done in the
fields for six weeks. Rains have fallen
nearly every day, and the ground has been
too wet to plow. Grass is growing lux
uriantly. Whether it is appropriating to
its own use the fertilizer that was intend
ed for the crop is unknown to us.
