Mississippi Industrial
Institute and College Opens

Columbus, Miss, September 19.--The
Mississippi Industrial Institute and Col
lege opened its thirty third annual ses-
sion Tuesday, and the unusually large
number of students who have already
matriculated indicates one of the most
prosperous years in. the history of the
institution. The young ladies began to
come in Sunday, and practically every.
train which has reached the city since
that time has added its full quota to
the matriculants who are keeping the
registrants and matrons busy providing
them with entrance certificates and as
signing them rooms
The large number of students present
at the opening was by no means a sur
prise to President Whitfield, as the
rapid rate at which applicants for dormi-
tory reservations have heen pouring in
for several weeks past indicated that the
capacity of the buildings would be Sc
verely taxed. While Mr.. Whitfield does
not believe in crowding too many stu

to pursue such course would violate

 A Man-o'-warS man has even more cause to boast his versatility. There are occasions upon which he becomes an Artillery Charger.

Music however, can, if loud enough, stir the numbest draught animal. The naval Drag man is no exception.
