hope that Shepherdstown is to have
return engagement OF the Coburn Players,
the company that gave such charming
entertainments last year on the college
campus. Miss Waddell, of the Shep-
herd College faculty, is now in CORE
spondence with the manager, and if our
people will give her the same support
that they did last year she will be able to
make an engagement. She will shortly
see those who were so interested last
year, but in the meantime if will save her
time and labor if those who will help
with the guarantee fund will indicate their
willingness TO her.

fith'S horses were bit FESTIVE. and max
ing lunge they gave the wagon vio-
lent jerk, which threw both men from The
vehicle. Mr.. Snyder got the worst OF it.
