The malady from which these young ladies are suffering, however has never been definitely diagnosed as influenza, it's symptoms and characteristics being typ ical of those which accompany la grippe; but as the two malades are very much alike the affected students are not only being carefully nursed, but are be- ing subjected to complete isolation.
 President Whitfield this morning had q consultation with Dr. T. H. Henry, health officer of Lowndes county, who, under instructions from the state board of health. issued the closing order. and Dr. Henry stated that he thought VI would be at. least ten days before the college could resume it's work.

"No Greater Satisfaction Imaginable"

Mrs. W. A. Grover of Bristol has a
letter from her cousin, Private Leland
+. Parmelee of Brandon, who is with
Co. E., lOlst Ammunition Train, who
says;
They certainly kept US busy when
we first went up to the front lines. To
keep these guns going before the
Boche was out of range was regular
game of tag, except where he tried to
dig in few times.
"Of course the 'doughboys' got the
worst of it. Everybody was pretty
we'll tired out but if things kept on l
would rather be there still for there is
no greater satisfaction imaginable than
to know that the Kaiser's best are hit
ting the home trail.
And to see our 'doughboys' COM
ing out was certainly sight to make
one happy. This companies were small
and the individuals were tattered and
torn, but they had a look of honest
pride on their faces that couldn't be
beat.

fight purely defensive war. That's
