calls attention TO tho fact that the under-

Of production in that industry 10 the

NORMAL COLLEGE NOTES.

Percy Scott, one of the last year
graduates, has returned here, after
having taught a successful school in
Harrison County.
Several of the students of the Col
lege gave a Mission program in the
auditorium Sunday night. One feature
of the program was dramatization
representing the Board of Missions
examining applicants for work in the
foreign field. 1t was well carried out
and the lesson was brought home to
all; that the man or woman who goes
as a missionary must be prepared. CON
secrated to his work, and thoroughly
acquainted with the difficulties he will
meet, before he is accepted by the
Board.
Misses Agnes Lemon and Lalla
Lane were weekend visitors on the
campus and report a very school year.
A number of the agricultural stu
dents were taken to one of the nearby
fruit orchards Saturday for the pur.
pose of doing some practical work in
the various kinds of pruning. The in
structors, T. F. Jackson and A. B. Ollie
make it a point to see that their stu
dents do not only study Agriculture
from a theoretical standpoint, but are
to put this new gained knowledge into
practice. consequently frequent excur-
sions are made throughout the entire
course.
New students are entering most ev-
cry day and quite number have
matriculated to enroll for the remain
ing terms of the session.
The greatest fun of the season was
the Valentine Party" given by the
matron and girls of Mississippi Hall
last Saturday night, beginning at 1870
p. m. The hall and lobby was decorated
with hearts and other effects suitable
for the occasion. The celebration was.
started with grand march, which was
led by Mrs. Lipscomb, the matron,
through the lobby and long hall. This
gave everyone the opportunity to see
everybody else. The costumes were
unique and artistic, representing var
ious characters and flowers. Fortunes
were told by the Gypsy Fortune Tell
err and the palms read by another.
Three witches presided over a large
pot ready to inform persons of the flu
ture. Every one entered into the spirit
of the occasion and appeared to be
having a good time The l. |. & C. girls
were present and enjoyed the fun as
much as the Normal students.
