LARGE OPENING
AT COLLEGE.


The sixty-third session of Grenad,
College opened Tuesday morning un
ger very auspicious and promisins
circumstances. The attendance wa,
larger than it has been for the pas,
tnree years, and the prospects are
nrignter for a successful years worl
tnan 1T has been at any previous
time in the history of the present

during the past summer the col
lege buildings have been completely
renovated, and when the session was
formally opened Tuesday morning at
nine o'clock, everything was in read
mess for the reception of the stu
dents and the beginning of the aca-
demic work.
Kew. K. W. Evans, pastor of the

ton during their college careers will
thereby be exempt from further
tests for teaching in the public

COAL SITUATION SERIOUS.

To the Public: ~,
Coal prices are advancing rapidly.
A very serious shortage Of coal cars
exists. Even this early, the mines
will accept orders only upon condl-
ton that they are able to secure
equipment in which to ship.
wholesale dealers and mine agents
are a unit in the opinion that very
high prices will prevail this winter
and that coal famine is probably
imminent.
The situation may improve Iater
on. Just now it looks serious. These
are facts with which we feel you
should be made acquainted.
