reluctantly to the fence; but I'll jes'
take a look at that bottle an see ef
it looks anything t all like 'No-To-
Kink'."
Giggling nightly, they jumped the
dividing fence and slipped with
stealthy tread around the house to
Sarah James cabin in the backyard.
Bennie Dick was sitting on the floor
before the open door, the entrance of
which was securely barricaded to keep
him inside. Sarah Jane was in the
kitchen cooking supper; they could
hear her happy voice raised in relig-
ious melody; Mrs. Garner had not yet
returned from card party; the coast
was clear, and the time propitious.
Jimmy tiptoed to the house and soon
returned with big bottle of power
full "blondine" in one hand and a stick
of candy in the other.
"Bennie Dick" he said, heres a
nice stick of candy for you if you'll
let us wash your head"
The negro baby's thick, red lips
curved in grin of delight, his shiny
ebony face beamed happily, his round
black eyes sparkled as he held out
his fat, rusty little hands. He sucked
greedily at the candy as the two mis-
chievous little boys uncorked the bot.
tie and poured generous supply OF
the liquid on his head. They rubbed
it in well, grinning with delight. They
made a second and third application
before the bottle was exhausted; then
they stood off to view the result of
their efforts. The effect was ludi
crous. The combination of coal black
skin and red gold hair presented by
the little negro exceeded the widest
expectations Of Jimmy and Billy. They
shrieked with laughter and rolled over
and over on the floor in their un
bounded delight.
"Hush!" warned Jimmy suddenly

her eyes and took a second peer a

There was an ecstatic giggle from
behind the door.

worked faithfully and earnestly for the
establishment of the college. Mr..
Campbell rejoiced to know the ideals
of the school, which he heartily ap-
proved. He believes education con-
sists in training the mind and does not
approve of the idea of specializing
before a general educational training
is had. The best way to solve some
problems of the day was to teach the

Starting with an enrolment that far
exceeds expectations, with fattering
prospects of rapid growth and with a
future of great usefulness, the Wo-
mans College was formally opened
last night with exercises in Emmanuel
church, attended by an interested and
enthusiastic crowd that filled the
house to overlooking. Coincident with
the opening of the State Normal Col
lege the opening of the Woman's Col
lege brought to a close day of great
significance to Hattiesburg and at
once gives this section two education
al institutions, statewide in their
scope of usefulness, where before
there had been no colleges for higher
education. These important events
are the best evidence that South Mis-
sissippi is at last reaping the benefits
of years of effort and is being recog-
nized as a section with a magnificent
future, a section destined to within a
very few years show marvellous de-
