Tennessee College

The The Tennessee Baptist State con-
vention met in MuffFeesboro re-
Gently for the first time in eleven
years. 1t was in many respects
the greatest convention ever held
by Tennessee Baptists. The Ten
nessee College people entertained
the convention royalty and gave
a reception in honor of the dele
gates on Tburfday evening As
many Of the delegates to the con-
vention had never seen Tennessee
College before, the entire building
was Thrown open to them on the
evening of the reception and the
young ladies of the college were
asked to act as guides in conduct
| ing the visitors over the building.
This they did in a charming way,
leading the guests on a tour Of in
spection from the laboratories in
| the basement to the music rooms
on the third floor. At each end
of the halls were stationed punch
bowls presided over by some young
ladies, while others played for the
guests as they passed. After the
building had been examined, the
guests were led to the dining room,
where delicious refreshments were
served. Over four hundred guests
called during the evening.
A Tennessee College daily, edited
by the editors of the Lanier and
Ruskm Literary Societies, was is
sued during the convention. Moth.
ing of this kind has ever been at
tempted before by Tennessee Col
lege and it created quite a gooc
deal Of fun and excitement beside,
giving information regarding th'
convention.
The Tennessee College parlors
which have recently been return
ished, were the object of much ad
miration by the visitors during th,
convention. The woodwork ha!
been enameled in white and Tho
walls hung with handsome golC
paper. The students Of the col
lege, as a token of their apprecia
ton Of the college, presented tw,
handsome Oriental rugs for th,
parIors, which greatly enhanced
their beauty.

Playing With Dynamite

Henry Landlord, young man
Of the Hagleryille vicinity, last
week showed bis father a stick Of
dynamite, which he had found,
and asked what it was. His father
did not know, so Henry proceeded
toinvestigate with his pocketknife.
The mysteries of the queer object
we're soon explained, as the stick
exploded and tore off a thumb and
two or three fingers for the inves-
tigator.

A Night Of Terror

Few nights are more terrible
than Of a mother looking on her

it. Many mothers have passed

A little forethought will enable
you to avoid all this. Chamber

Declare War on Colds

A crusade of education which
aims "that common colds may be-
come uncommon within the next
generation" has been begun by
prominent New York physicians.
Here is list Of the 'don'ts" which
the doctors say will prevent the
annual visitation of the cold:
Don't sit in a draughty car. !"
Don't sleep in hot rooms"
Don't avoid the fresh air"
Don't stuff yourself at meal
time. Overeating reduces your
resistance
To which we would add when
you take cold get rid Of it as
quickly as possible. 10 accom-
