WIDE PUBLICITY GIVEN
TO Thu LOCAL SCHOOL
Agricultural College PFOmi'
Dtntin State Publication

A lions share Of publicity was Civ
en- to the Third District Agricultural
and Mechanical College in recent
bulletin issued by the State Agricul-
tural College, showing plainly the
high rank accorded the local school in
the opinion Of the agricultural ex-
perts at Athens. Gut of eleven illus
trations published in the bulletin, five
are from photographs OF scenes taken
on the grounds OF the local school,
one Of which embelIished the frontis-
piece Of the bulletin.
This is, indeed, gratifying to the Of
hcials Of the school here, as it is %
every student and to every one in this
section who is interested in the sue
cess and progress Of this excellent
school which from the time Of its es-
Enlistment forged rapidly to the
front as the leading example of the
best conducted and most widely at
tended agricultural school of the en-
tire eleven. 1t is receiving its due
portion of commentator from the
leading agricultural rites Of the
state.
On account of the fact that for
some time past it has been neces-
sary to turn away students from act
ual lack Of room for accommodations,
no effort has been made by Superin-
tendent COllum to solicit pupils for the
schools. Nevertheless, the college mail
in one day last week brought eleven
applications from students who desire
to enter, one Of whom hailed from the
distant state Of Texas. From these
indications there will be another over
flow attendance on the opening day
at the school will be more suspicious
than any yet known.

GAYNOR FINDS HIS GIFT
OF A BIBLE NEGLECTED.

Waterbury, Conn, August 7.-On
his recent tour, Mayro Gaynor, of
New York. stopped at Great Barring
ton to look at the library of the
town, to which, fourteen years ago,
while a summer resident there, ne
presented d copy of the Bible.
At that time he wanted copy for
reference in preparing a speech he
was to make, and was shocked to find
that there was no copy of the Bible
in the generous collection Of bound
volumes Of which the town had al
ways been proud. He gave a copy %
the town library, and on the fly leaf
Of the book wrote:
4 have found a great many libra
ries which lacked a great many books
but never before have I found one
like this, which lacked the Great
Book"
The town was guarded the Gaynor
Bible ezasously since 1897. 1t is in the
pink OF condition, never apparently
having been opened; in fact, some CT
the leaves are still uncut.
The mayor, after viewing his gift,
took a short cut out Of town. He

light breakfast and seemed glad to De

II Was Something Very Different That
Induced Eliza to Attend a
Revival Meeting.

Mrs. S. of New Orleans has for
many years been faithfully served by
two negro women who. although
bound by the tie of common devotion
to their mistress. yet detest each other
cordially. so that the Kitchen is the
scene OF continuous battle.
Martha, the cook, is leading light
in the church. At revival meetings
she was always the first to occupy the
mourners' bench. the first to shout
"Halleluiahv' and to fall into those
contortions of body and outfinging of
limbs that to the African mean get
ting religion" Eliza. the maid of all
work, on the other hand. had always
been an unregenerate heather, soothing
at religion. jeering at Martha and de-
claring no power on earth could in
duce her to go inside a church. Great.
therefore. was Mrs. SIS surprise on the
occasion of the last revival to find
that it was Eliza and not Martha who
was attending the meetings.
why, Martha" she exclaimed.

"Why?"

From ebony she has to- become cafe

three months. She is covered with
wooden stuff. with the exception of her
head; then they burn certain green

new skin. soft and clear as a baby's.
