OF a we'll known Oskaloosa boy
Orange and Blue" the students pa
per of the Tennessee Military Insti
tute says: Harold Kirby, alias Bills
ter girls, take your choice. We will
use the term Blister in our descrip-
ton, but if the maiden would rather
be Mrs. Kirby than Mrs. Blister or
vice versa, it will be all right with
Harold. Harold is ladies' man from
way back. You remember when the
great trend was towards S. c. Well,
that is when he got mixed up in so
ciety, and he has been going ever
since. He holds the important office
of sergeant of the band, and most
any time when you are around you
can hear him footing his brass horn.
Blister is handsome, strong and
graceful and he never gets mad. He
is as affable as young man could be
and is easy to control. All a wife
would have to say would be, Blister
darling, don't go out tonight and Har-
old wouldn't go. He would sit down
and thread the needle for Mrs. Bills
ter Now girls, we know for posi-
tive certainty that Harold is not en-
gagged at the present time and neither
has he serious intentions and he
would make a good catch"
