ment day greeted Colby, Tuesday

gay. for soon real Seniorhood is to be
flung away.
The campus was never more beau
tiful and never were more alumni
back for reunions of classes and fra
ternities Especially the older grad
yates are surprised and perhaps sad
dened. for they have not found their
"old Colby" but the Colby" of to-
day. 1t is a common occurrence to
hear this remark from an old grad
uate: Il haven't been back for Com
mencement for over 30 years and 1
hardly recognize the college"
The Class day exercises commenced
with the procession of Seniors march,
ing from Memorial hall, where they
assembled at $50, to the Baptist
church, where the exercises of the
morning were held. The band played
as they marched along.
Seated on the platform at the church
were Ruth @. Hamilton. president of
the womens division, Ethel Gilpat-
rick. historian. Laurel Wyman. poet,
John A. Bagnall, historian. Ernest d.
Jaekman, orator, Russell II. Lord and
Hervy c. Aller.
The exercises onened with an over
ture by the orchestra, followed by

was warming with the old grads,
the professors. students and visitors.
The alumni have been coming into
Brunswick slowly since the exercises
of Sunday but. Tuesday. marked the
climax for every train was crowded
with them. So it seems very evident
that the attendance at the class re-
unions which will be held, Wednesday
and Thursday, will be very large
The exercises of the morning were
held in Memorial hall. At 10 A. M
the Senior class marched slowly and
solemniy up the aise and took seats
in the front of the hall. The class
president, John s. Hurley of Maiden,
Mass, presided. The exercises were
opened with a prayer by the class
chaplain. Clyde r. Chapman of Fair

Charles Francis Adams spoke in
part as follows:

Friendship OF A Dog

John Phelps came from Greenville
Saturday bringing his little dog Fido,
which had died, with him and which
he tenderly buried in his garden at his
home here. John Phelps and his little
dog have been the best of friends for
fourteen years, and during that time
have been seldom separated, and were
familiar figures on our streets. Johns
grief is sincere. He has lost true
friend and realizes that fact. Some
time ago when Mr.. Phelps was here he
left the dog in Greenville and during
his absence the dog would neither eat
nor sleep and when1Mrs. Dawdy, with
whom he boarded, was going TO move
Mr.. Phelps coat the dog refused to let
her and chung to it until his master re-
turned. Fido, though small, and only
a dog, was true friend worth having.

made fine improvement TO their first
floor salesroom in the Ireland Hard

placing 1T on level with the first
landing of the stairway leading to the

them opportunity for more display
space in the store and removes the office
from the center of the whirl IN business

Real Cause of Badness.

Coming in from East Liberty on
q train were two men who appar-
emily we're old acquaintance and
who met in a jovial mood. Both
men were quite gray, but each had
a luxuriant head of hair. Near
then sat a stout party with a shin
ing dome that was almost destitute
of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious remarks about silvered locks,
then INDUCED in some pleasantries
about the thinning of the thatch,"
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much to the
amusement of the passengers, but
to the evident discontinue of the
baldheaded man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause of badness,
and after considerable popularity
the pair turned to the pearly pated
stranger, and one said:
Only friend and / have been dis
cussing the cause of badness, but
We can't seem to agree. Would you
mind telling us what you regard as
the real cause of ~baldness?"
The stranger wheeled about, eyed
his questioners fiercely and snorted:

On Sunday last Mr.. Dennis Gum
and Miss Bessie Peterson drove
down Jackson's River, not making
their destination known to but few,
if any. As a sequal, the following
news note appeared in a Washing
ton city morning paper on Tuesday:
"A marriage license was Issued
yesterday to Dennis Gum, of Mead
ow Dale, and Miss Bessie Peterson,
of Mcdowell"
Both of the contracting parties
are well-known and respected
young people of the county.
Mr.. Gum is a successful young
farmer, son of Peter Gum, near
Meadow Dale.
The bride, who has been teach
ing for two years in the Back Creek
community, is daughter of c. S.
Peterson of Mcdowell, and young
lady held in high esteem. .

The wear il not yet.too old to re-

The year is not Yet:too old to re-
mind our correspondents that we
look for great things from them
during 1912. 1t is true that a news
naner cannot run Independent of
assistance such as correspondents
afford, and that the readers nave
part to perform in making the
county paper interesting and at
tractive is a fact that cannot be too
often emphasized. Assuming that
every newspaper man does his part
his paper can be no better than his
support and encouragement make
it. Patronage is essential to sue
cess, and this includes subscriptions,
advertising and news reporting.
Whether you are a regular CORES
pondent or not, if anything of in
terest occurs in your community
write us a note or take up the tele-
phone transmitter and tell us about
it.
Occasionally articles are sent in
that do not appear, in which event
the writer may be assured that
good reasons can be assigned for
such failure. Some times the ground
has been covered by an earlier COM
munication or space is lacking.
Regular correspondents have
doubtless noticed, from time to
time, that occasional paragraphs
are omitted from their letters, and
they must not conclude that it is
because the letter is theirs, or COM
ing from any certain community.
The editor sometimes finds it nee
essary to boil down articles and to
omit, now and then, mention OF
people and subjects that, is his
judgment, it is best to so treat. In
so doing he does not mean to give
the writer offence or discount his
judgment, but is simply exercising
a prerogative which is justly his
own by virtue of his relation to the !
paper and his patrons.
Continue to give US the help you
have been giving, and, if possible.
improve on each years work. To
use the vernacular of the street,
let us all "spit on our hands, for
a stronger grip and fresh hold,
and may the RECORDER more
completely fulfill it's mission as a
home paper and weekly news
letter to the absent!
