 Under a recent ruling of the Uni ted States Attorney General, packers must dispose of their interests in stockyards within two years, and this will create an opportunity for the cattlemen to acquire the stock if they desire it.

ATHLETIC EVENTS.

The A. and M. College base ball
team has published its schedule of
intercollegiate games for the pres
ent session. The name of Column
bus does not appear therein as &
place where any Of these events,
with their large crowds and fine en-
thusiasm, will be held and simply
for the reason that we have no place
where such games can be held. In
the fall the foot ball games will be
played and Columbus will lose these
and with adequate facilities here the
college would send some of their
big events to Columbus in the base
ball and foot ball schedules every sea
SON. Centrally located for all of the
games Of good towns surrounding
her, with good roads and good rail-
road facilities Columbus would draw
thousands to Columbus if we would
but prepare for such events. The
College is located here appealing 10
all College teams and this in itself
would secure number of contests.
That brings up the question of
sensible grounds. Just across the
county bridge is the finest site for
an athletic field in the South. 1t is
close to the business section, close
enough to walk to, and well sod
dcd and it could be utilized for all
high school and collegiate contests
annually. The Golf Club members,
the Gun Club members and the Ath-
letic supports here ought to cont
binc to secure such a location By
pooling their interests they could
arrange a program so that they would
not conflict and the enterprise could
be made self supporting from the
first.
1t ought TO be carried to success
right now
