DO YOU KNOW THAT

Editor Dispatch:
City.
Dear Sir: ] noticed not long since
in your do Your Know" column an
English sentence with five "thats"
following each other, How is this
one;
Teacher said in speaking of that
that that that that that that boy used
was used incorrectly"
To interpret:
Teacher said in speaking of that
WORD, that THE WORD WHICH
that boy used was used incorrectly"
As the word was THAT, if you
will substitute ''that' for each of the
UNDERSIGNED words in the second SEN
tence, you will have the first SEN
tence, which demonstrates that the
teacher was not stammering as a
school boy once told me when | put

lish class.

THE COLLEGE FARM

Through the munifcence of Hon.B.
L. Jones, the patron saint Of the Mis-
sissippi State College for Women, the
utility and usefulness of the College
Farm is to be greatly enhanced by the
construction of two handsome two
story brick residential dormitories
thereon. The buildings are now well
under way, and they will be COM
pleted in time for the next session,
The idea in equipping the farm
with such handsome and modern ia
cilities is to provide homes for the
students when they are engaged in
acquiring practical experience in
farming, dairying, poultry-raising,
etc, and accommodations are being
prepared for hundred students at a
time. 1t is the purpose of the pres
ent educational scope of the college
to not only equip its students with a
theoretical knowledge of farm life,
but to equip them with practical
knowledge and experience for this
work through the instrumentality of
the farm.
The buildings are well located on
the right of the road They are two
in number-two-story, brick veneered
with an aggregate of twenty-five
rooms. They are large, roomy, we'll
lighted and well-ventilated, equipped
with bath and lavatory rooms, laun
dries, kitchens, study rooms and ad
ministration rooms. They are to b.
steam cheated throughout, electric
lighted, with the most modern plumb
ing, and with every comfort and con
venience. Porticos and driveways ado
to their attractiyeness, and, whei
completed and painted, they will b.
two of the handsomest residences il
the county.
They were designed and the archi
tectural work done by Mr.. Willis Nc
Clanahan, and the construction worl
is being done by Mr. d. S. McClan
ahan and son. The cost WILDE approx
mateIy $4,000. Added to what ha
already been constructed and accom-
plished there, they give finish to a
institution which is destined to do
great work for the state and also TO
Lowndes County.
