II Want a Position''
You don't know this young woman, neither do we,
but she has just been graduated from the 60
business college, she has stcnography, typewriting
and bookkeeping training. She is ready for work.
If she doesn't find place straight away she tells
about her qualifications in the Positions WantcI'
department. She doesn't have to wait long for the
right made-to-ordcr job. Business training has
taught her to use the same method if she loses her
pocket book or wishes to find desirable room.
Capable workers, Offering their services to bust
ness men through the Journals columns rarely fail
to find the right opportunity.
In fact, not many business men would care to EN-.
ploy man or woman in position calling for 'busi.
ness sense" if such applicant had not shown good
evidence of it by having advertised effectively.

FIRE.
Science Building Catches Fire Mon
day, But Flames Are Quickly
Subdued.

A fire of mysterious origin broke
out in the second story of the Science
Building last Monday, but with the
aid of the extinguishers the flames
were quickly subdued. Just as the
bell calling the hungry Gordonites to
their noon meal, was ringing through
the dormitory some one Shouted fire
and the dining room was deserted for
the scene Of the devastation. Heavy
volumes of smoke were pouring out
of the windows of the second floor OF
the Science Building. Fire extingu-
ishers were rapidly secured, and with
the aid of abundant water, the unruly
flames were soon extinguished by the
students. Prof. Dennee discovered
the blaze soon after it was started,
and it was due largely to his quickness
of action that the flames were so quick
ly brought under control. Little
damage was inflicted beyond the burn
ing of mass of papers and books.
After the excitement had subsided the
students returned to their belated
meal.

evidenced by the advanced sales of

HOuse-tofiOuse Canvass.

At the suggestion OF The munster S
conference OF oxford, Sunday May 70
was set aside as the day for a re-
liglous census Of the city. 1t has
been two or three years since house
toulouse canvass has been made in
Oxford, and in that time many new
families have silently moved into our
midst and have been brought into
active service in the various churches.
The census was a splendid success.
About ten members of each of the
churches gathered at tWo-thlrty Sun
day afternoon in the Sunday School
rooms of the Presbyterian Church,
and there received their instructions,
were given definite territory, and
sent out in teams of two to get a
complete record of every individual in
town in regard to his church stand
ing. The work was done quickly,
cheerfully and thoroughly.
The data recorded by these census
takers is now in the hands of the pas
tors Of the churches and they are be-
ginning to work on the matter of
going to see every possible member
of the Sunday School and Church.
The special reason for this census
is to get every body in Oxford into
some Sunday School next Sunday
Morning. June 1st has been set
aside as "Go-to- Sunday School, Sun
day in Oxford, and it is the determl-
nation of the Sunday Schools to have
every able bodied person in the city
there. If you are not at Sunday
School you will be lonesome.

OF The Legislature.

The announce ment column Of the
Eagle carries the name of Mr.. John
+. GoOlsby, this week, as candidate

less with all progressive movements
calculated to improve farm conditions,
After securing a common school
education, Mr. Goolsby attended the
Tula boarding school for four years,
after which he attended a business

representative.
We commend Mr.. Goolsby's candi-
dacy to the voters of Lafayette coun-
ty, and would remind them that this is
very responsible office and should be
filled by the very best man obtain
able.
