people Of OcOnee are glad to know
that tho boys from their homes are

few who have failed | have been
told that there were four freshmen
who entered here four years ago,
and four boys will graduate this
time. This is a better record than
most OF the counties are showing. |
know Of one county that had over
twenty freshmen to enter, and ont Of
this number only about ten will fin
ish this year. The college is plan
ming to make this one Of the best
exercises that has
ever been here.

that those were pioneer days in rail

praise Of the late Col a. B. An
