 When the call for the transaction of unfinished business was made by the moderator, the discussion of the ques- lions relative to Oglethorpe university. as included in the substitute of the Rev c. M, Richards, D. D., was resumed
 On motion the time allotted for the dis cussion from the floor was one hour and 30 minutes, and the remarks of each speaker were limited to five minutes
 At the conclusion of the discussion the vote of the assembly was taken on the substitute, which Dr. Richards had offered IS. 8 substitute to the whole ques- ton as involved in the two motions of- fered on Monday afternoon.
 The substitute was adopted by a vote of IF to 111 It was insisted from the floor that, according to parliamentary rules, this action of the assembly merely slgnified that the substitute took the place of the past report of the ad interim committee which was designated as being satisfactory to the Oglethorpe board and that IL did not constitute substitute for that part of the report designated as being sa tisfactory to the assemblys executive and advisory committees of Christian education The moderator sustained the point raised and the vote was then taken on the question of making the paper of Dr. Richards a substitute to that part of the report also
 The result was that the substitute of Dr. Richards was adopted by a vote of IF to 106 The substitute thus adopted becomes the action of the assembly re- garding the entire matter regarding Ogle- thorpe university and expresses the opin- ion that the Southern Presbyterian church does not need and does not desire the establishment of a university and that it is in no position to maintain such a university and disavows control or con- nection with such university

Tom Parker Shoots a Grizzly

Tom Parker, Harve Miller and E.
Tardy have returned from their g.
weeks hunting trip near Pierce City,
about 80 miles east of here. They
bagged two fine bucks and lots of
small game, but got no elk or bear.
They tell this story on Tom Parker,
which, if true, entities him to the
whole bakery. One day he saw what
he thought was grizzly bear on the
mountain side nearly half mile dis
tant. After shooting all of his ammu-
milton at it-some $50 big shells
his companions rushed up to see what
all the noise was about and found that
the trouble was caused by a grayback
on Toms eyelashes, which to him
looked like a grizzly bear as big as a
haystack.

{. ". Thompson Trades Garage
for Land.

Chester Thompson has bought a
1360-acre stock ranch near Great
Falls, Mont, and expects to take
charge Of it next Spring. The deal
was made through the Coleman-Sher-
man Inv. Co. of Spokane, and this
company takes as part pay the Cot
tonwood garage An experienced ga
rage man from La Crosse, Wash, will
be put in charge of the garage and he
will be here tomorrow to take over
the business.
Herman Won Bargen, father-in-law
Of Chester, is interested with him in
the ranch and it is their intention
next Spring to buy another section of
land adjoining this, making in all
20OO acres.
Chet says that since Montana is to
60 dry next year he wanted to make
sure of having plenty to drink, so he
selected this ranch because it has an
artesian well that flows 60 gallons per
minute-which will do more good than
all the saloons in Montana.
