THE BARACA CLASS.

When the Mississippi State College
for Women opened its present ses-
sion, and the young ladies from that
institution who are Baptists had en-
rolled in the Sunday School Of the
First Baptist Church, they immedi-
ately began to cast longing eyes in
the direction Of the Mems Baraca
Glass and expressed a desire to have
as their teacher the former president
Of the NJ. S. c. W., Hon. Henry l..
Whitfield. The men were too gallant
to deny the young ladies their re-
quest. and allowed them to have the
Baraca teacher.
A meeting was held at the Gilmer
Hotel on Thursday night to select a
new teacher for the Baraca Class,
and after some discussion it was de-
cided 20 have the Rev. Jesse d.
Franks act as teacher, with Prof. f.
p. Womac kas assistant.
Mr.. F. y. Gerhart is president Of
the Mems Baraca Class Of the First
Baptist Church, whi,h meets each
Sunday morning at ten o'clock. 1t is

DOCTOR J.C.FANT
AGAIN IN CHAPEL.
After Serious Illness President
of College Returns TO His
Duties-Praises Vice
President.

On Saturday, the twenty-ffth we
had our first real chapel, that is, DIR.
FAINT presided for the first time. 1t
was a great disappointment TO every
girl that he was i'll and could not
welcome US at the opening Of school
SO his recovery and return were hail
ed with enthusiasm. Although alb
sent personally for the first few days,
evidences of our presidents work for
the college, namely the many i'm
provements in our dormitories, wei
coined US on every hand. In his adj
dress, DR.. FAINT spoke Of the efficient
way the viee-president, Mr. Lipscomb
offciated during the absence Of the
president. He also told the student
body how important il was for US
to realize that summer with its
frivolity, was gone and we were
back here to begin work in earnest.
This chape on Saturday was throng-
ed with visitors, eager to welcome us
back. The ministers Of the Baptist,
Methodist, Presbyterian and Episco-
pal churches were here extending
cordial invitations from their various
congregations. The Baptist and
Methodist ministers promised us that
they would give their girls the an
nual party, that hospitable function
BY which the churches express their
interest in the girls belonging to the
various denominations. This most
enthusiastic Of chapels was a fitting
welcome for our returned president.

FIRE NARROWLY AvERTED

What might have developed into a
costly and disastrous fire was narrow

Felix Gunter's cotton warehouse,
when the keen scent of a negro night
Waterman named Jones detected a
burning bale of cotton. The negro in
formed Mr.. Gunter of his discovery,
and together they put out Tor thought
they put OUT the fire. However, the
bale began to burn again about eleven
o'clock, when it was put outside the
warehouse and the trouble was at an
end.
The cotton did not catch fire at Mr..
Gunter's warehouse, but the fire was
inside the bale when it was taken

TN connection with our presentation of

offer this conception of true tailored style:
Every Printz mod el is tailored for

youth. 1t may express the practical or the
fanciful. But always it is charming and
distinctive, of irreproachable taste.
I'm Prinh organizations, no attempt is
made to reflect each fleeing fashion; to

THE COOLEST DAY

Marine City, Dec. 30-New
Years day, fifty-eight years ago
January l, 1863-was the coolest
day this community and district
ever experienced in the opinion of
several pioneer residents of this
vicinity.
While there are neither official
nor unofficial records of the wealth
er conditions of that date, the "old
timers" believe that the mercury
went down to a point somewhere
from forty to fifty degrees below
zero on that date. The frigid
wave came about over night, they
say, while the last day of the year
1862 was comparatively mild for
the winter season. The extreme
cold lasted but the one day.
All activities of the inhabitants
of the community were called to a
halt by the cold blast and there
was no little amount of suffering,
the pioneers state. The farthest
most of the people ventured from
their homes out in the open was to
the woodshed, there to get fuel
and "fire up" Those who did
brave the frigid atmosphere for
any length of time were marked
by frozen hands, ears and feet, say
the aged residents, who never ex-
pect to experience such extreme
ly cold weather again.

contains all the new features and
improvements that go to make for
Good service. The switchboard is so
arranged that the city and rural
lines appear in different sections Of
the board, so that when a city sub
lcfibcr calls for a rural telephone he
is transferred from one part Of the
board to the other. However, rural
subscriber in calling for a city sub
scribcr is connected directly at the
rural board.
"On The city lines, the party lines
arc changed from the former system
Of code ringing, such as two and
three rings to the color system; that
is. in place of the number of rings, a
color is used to designate the party
ON the lines wanted. Hence in call
ing for telephones ON a party line,
the subscriber will have 10 give in
addition 60 the number the color

also, installed machinery so that the
subscribers bell rings internationally
when he is called until answered, or
until the calling party hangs up the
receiver. In order to keep the call
ing subscriber advised that the tele-

ty. In innumerable ways they con-
tribute to our well-being.
Trees, too, are the natural home
Of most of our birds, and what a
dreary, cherries place this world
would be with either birds or trees
lacking.
Therefore, by virtue of the author
ity vested in me as Governor Of the
State of Michigan, do hereby des-
ignate and set aside Friday, May 9th,
as Arbor and Bird Day, and ! request
that exercises appropriate to the day
be held in all our schools and that
teachers seek TO impress their pupils
with the Importance Of maintaining
our shade trees and protecting our
song birds. suggest further that
the boys and girls in school be en-
couraged to study the characteristics
and habits Of Michigan birds.

tenn has been devised whereby the
calling subscriber hears ringing
tone, signifying to him that the bell
of the telephone wanted is being
rung. Another feature is that, when
party has called one subscriber
and desires to call another subscrib-
er, he can Immediately disconnect
himself by hanging up his receiver.
On taking down the receiver, his call
comes in the same as a new call
1--WE wish that every subscriber
would please read the notice to the
subscribers printed in this edition of
the paper so as to familiarize them
selves with the new method Of oper-
alton. 1t is needless to say, how
ever, that for the first few days
there will probably be some CON
fusion. The reason of this is that we
are making such a radical change
and all the subscribers lines have to
be cut over from the old work to the
new cable system in one instant. AL
though we have made every pro-
vision possible TO avoid confusion
and errors, nevertheless, it some
times happens with the best of laid
plans that some wires get misplaced
and other Unforeseen things happen,
that cause Interruptions in the SER
vice. The operators are also not as
accustomed to the operation Of the
new switchboard as they will be
after a few days work, and hence
will not be able to do their best.
Hence we ask the indulgence of our
subscribers for the first few days if
he service does not come to expec-
tation. They may rest assured,
1owever, that as soon as the various
kinks have been ironed out that they
will notice a vast Improvement in
