AUBURN ISSUES
 ALUMNI CATA[OG' Published After ArduOus Research Extending
 Over Two Years

Auburn, November 17--The catalogue of the officers and alumni of the Alabama Polytechnic institute at Auburn, a pub lication which has been compiled after an arduous period of research extending over two years, has just been issued. Besides a summary of the career of each gradu- ate of the college, the catalogue contains interesting statistics concerning the record of degrees conferred by the institution since 1S60. when it was known as the East Alabama college. In the 51 years from 1860 to 1911 1927 degrees were con- ferred.
 The classes of the years from 1860 to 1869 graduated in the East Alabama col lege. In 1872 the building of the East Ala bama college became by donation of the state the property of the State Agricul- tural and Mechanical college, which was then established.
 The department of architecture at Au- burn, one of the first of it's kind to have been installed in southern college, has issued an elaborate bulletin, which ex- pIoits attractively every detail of the work done in the architectural course. More than 20 pages of the bulletin are taken up by half-tone engravings of plans. elevations and sketches made by students of the department, which exhibit high degree of excellence. Most attractive are the reproduced photographs of three buildings of the college, the Broun engi- neering hall, the Conner agricultural hall and the library building, all of which were designed and the construction superin- tended by the department Of architecture.

 TOHOLD MEETING To Reconsider Raise in Tele-

 promise-Rev. Reeves to Be- come Baptist Pastor

Cullman, November I.--(SpeciaD. "A
 mass meeting of the citizens of the town will be held at an early date for the pur- pose of reconsidering the raise in the telephone rates and for the purpose of taking action of the proposition submit ted by the offlcials of the Southern Bell Telephone company at a recent meeting held in the office of Secretary Buell. of the Commercial club several days ago.
 From conversations that can be heard on the streets and elsewhere one would judge that the citizens of the town have no more to offer than the company say they have. MT. Hoxey, vice president of the company informed the citizens of the town at the recent meeting that so far as the company was concerned they had no compromise to offer and that the rates would go into effect as had been scheduled, however, agreed that in ord ,r to give the people a chance to further in- vestigate the proposition of the company's loss sustained on the Culman plant, the new rate would be deferred from Decem- Der 1 to January l. 1912.
 It appears that the sense of the citizens he,e will be at the next meeting to with draw from the Bell people and install a new plant for service in the town. The meeting will be held possibly next week.
