The matter OF perpetual care OF cemetery
lots in Woodbins cemetery was again
brought up by l.. +. Giles, OF the cemetery
association. Mr.. Giles called the atten-
lion Of the board to the city ordinance
which delegated the expenditure OF the
proceeds from the perpetual care fund to .
cemetery board. As there Is no cemetery
board in this city, the cemetery being
owned by an association, and not by the
city, he thought it violation OF the terms
OF the ordinance for the city to assume
charge Of the expenditure OF the fund.
He asked the board to rescind the vote
previously taken entrusting tho care OF
the lots provided for to private individ-
uai
Alderman Small thought the city was
merely to hold the principal OF the per-
petusl care fund In trust, and that the
proceeds OF the fund should be turned over
to the cemetery association, which would
Be responsible for the care OF the lots, and
see that the expenditures were properly
reported to the city government. Tho
city would thus avoid all trouble In the
matter. W & Bf
1t was voted to lay the matter on the
table until the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Giies again called attention OF the
board to the claim OF Mrs. Reby G. Lord
Tor psrsonal injuries received BY stepping
through . grating over . drain ct the
corner Of Main and Grant streets, and re-
peatins the offer Of settlement for 600
made at the November meeting. No

Students Endorse Hishtower.

AT meeting Monday night tn
regular college students who ar
in attendance at the Summe
School of the Mississippi A. & M
College enthusiastically adopted
resolutions strongly commencing
the administration of President
g. r. Hightower, and recommend.
ing that he be continued in his
present Office by the Board OF
Trustees, who convene this week
While only about two hundred of
the regular students are now on
campus, their unanimous endorse
ment Of President Hightower
shows that by far the greater part
of the student body will favor re.
tanning him in Office.
Monday nights meeting was
the result of the. current report
that Mr.. Hightower will be asked
for his resignation when the
Board of Trustees convenes. In
the opinion of the students, a
change in administration Just at
this time would be little short of a
calamity to the College, because
the constructive work that has
been started In the various depart
ments would necessarily be dis.
continued until the new President
could become thoroughly familiar
with the details of the Office. This
expression of opinion has all the
more value since the movement
originated among the students,
the meeting having been attended
only by the college boys and
teachers from over the State at
tending the Summer School.
AS was brought out at the meet.
ing, it is the opinion Of the stu
dents that President Hightower
should be retained in Office because
he HIS proven himself a friend of
the students, and is highly popu.
lar with all connected with the
Colleges has worked in harmon,
with the faculty, has made many
and important improvements in
the various departments of the
College and on the campus gener
ally; has raised and broadened the
curriculum; has instituted two
new courses of study; aud has ex
tended the regular session of tie
colleges one-half term. Besides
this, the discipline in all branches
has shown marked improvement
during his administration.
The resolution adopted by the
students are so follows:
Whereas, 1t has come to the atten-
tion of the regular students now attend
ing the Summer School at the Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col.

Perfect love casteth out fear" And
If we confess our sins. God is faith
