MANY GIRLS MATRICUlATE
At LOCAL INSTITUTION
Attendance at Industrial Insti-
tute and College is Unusually
Large

Up to yesterday 748 students
had mitriculated at the Indus
trial Institute and College. which
inaugurated its twenty-seventh
annual session last Wednesday.
This is about one hundred more
students than had registered up
to the same date last year, when
the total enrolment reached $50.
This seems to indicate that the
attendance this year will be the
largest in the history of the
school.
The session is well under way
and every thing is working
smoothly. There are several new
teachers in the faculty this year,
and both the old and new in
structors, as well a. the students,
are evincing a great deal of inter
est in their work.
The college has been growing
steadily ever since it was es.
tablished, and the advancement
this session promises to be even
greater than that Of former
years.

ANNUAL BARBECUE IS
ENJOYED BY VETERANS
TAXES PLACE At LAKE PARK
Yearly Outing Of Heroes Who
Wore the Gray was Held Thus
day, Brought Pleasure to
All in Attendance

The annual barbecue Of the
Lowndes County Confederate
Veterans Association took place
at Lake Park Thursday, and was
a most delightful affair. having
been thoroughly enjoyed by all
in attendance. AS time passes
on the Death Angel is continually
causing a decrease in the ranks
of the heroes who wore the gray,
and each year some loved faces
are missed at the annual barbe-
cue. Several prominent local
veterans have answered the final
roll call during the past year, but
the deaths have been small in
number, and the crowd present
Thursday was about as large as
in former years.
AS has been their custom for
several years past, the veterans
invited the members of Stephen
D. Lee Chapter, United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, TO at.
tend the barbecue, and many of
the good ladies comprising the
chapter accepted the invitation.
They were conveyed to the park
in a special car, and upon arrival
there were extended every
courtesy, having all been served
with delightful dinner before
the veterans sat down to eat
The ladies thoroughly appreciate
the courtesies extended them by
the veterans, and Col. G. l.,
Lincoln was delegated to express
their appreciation and the pleas
ure it gave them to attend the
barbecue. Col. Lincoln made a
brief but timely speech, having
assprcd his, a9NG~tbat their
guests of honor were glad to be
with them and to share the
pleasures of the occasion.
| After dinner was over the
annual meeting of the association
was held, the most importunt
business having been the election
of officers for the ensuing year.
Col. w. G.. Richards the COM
mander and Capt. WE. Pope, the
secretary, were both re elected
by acclamation.

ASSISTANCE OF PRESIDENT
WHITFIELD IS REQUESTED
Sup,rintendent Of Education
Powers Asks Cooperate on IN
Boosting Agricultural Schools

Hon. H. L. Whitfield. president
of the Industrial Institute and
College, is in receipt Of a letter
from Hon. J. N. Powers, state
superintendent of education. IN
which that official requests the
cooperation and aid of the local
educator in the effort which is
being made to boost the agrl-
cultural high school system
throughout the state.
Superintendent Powers has
sent copies of the same letter
to other prominent educators
throughout the state. and it is
suggested that the different gen.
tlemen to whom these letters
have been sent might accomplish
good results by writing direct
to the principals and trustees OF
these schools or instructing their
assistants to confer and cooper
ate with them. Mr.. Powers
suggests that individual letters
to the instructors in agricultural
and domestic sceince, giving as
surance of an encouraging inter-
est and proffers of practical help,
might accomplish a great deal OF
good.
Advices received by the state
department of education are to
the effect that every agricultural
high school in the state has open
ed for the term with largely in
creased enrollments. both of local
and boarding students, and the
general outlook is most en-
couraging. The manifestation
of interest by the practical men
in charge of the leading educa-
tional institutions throughout the
state will, j. il thought, bring
very benelit a. results.
