EXPECTING A GREAT OPENING
Preparations Being Made by Andrew
College For Best Tt Has Ever Had,

Preparations Being Made by Andrew
College For Best 1t Has Ever Had.
Preparations are being made for
the finest opening this fall that An
drew Female College has ever had.
The college buildings are being thor
oughly repaired and painted inside,
and when school opens in September
everything will be in the best posi-
bic shape. The authorities feel JUS
titled in spending good deal for
repairs and improvements this sum-
mer, as Andrew is now in the best
shape financially and every other
way she has ever been in, and they
feel that the coming year will be
good enough to amply justify this
expense.
Andrew draws a large patronage
from all over southwest Georgia ter
ritory, and has been a powerful fac
tor in building up our section. She
ought to have even more hearty in
terest and loyal support Andrew
belongs as much to Dawson and Ter
rell county as she does to Cuthbert
and Randolph county. So all should
and will be interested to hear that
she is doing so we'll, and that her
future is so bright.
