equipment.
The lectures on these different sub
iects were delivered in a most pleas
ing style which meant that the te-
dious features were eliminated. 1t was
pleasure to be associated with the
Wiley Teachers and students. who did
everything they could to make the
stay of the visiting preachers pleasant
and profitable. All were highly de-
lighted with the nice rooms In which
our sessions held, the beautiful well
kept campus, the dignified scholarly
bearing of the student body and the
air of culture every where present.
Wiley is an institution of which the
entire chuch should be proud. We are
under obligation to the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas for
sending to us Mr.. Hines, who is an
enthusiastic work along agriculture
lines and Mrs. M. Il. v. Huner. who
appears to know everything that can
be possibly known under the head of
Home Making. The preachers carry
with them pleasant memories of their
twenty days sojourn in this special
school and with much valuable infcr-
nation. with the request that next
years session be held at the same
time and place and faculty.

 PIER WEAKENED

The recent rise of water In the river. due to the heat of the past few days. has undermined the new concrete pier which was installed this spring. and let II down about three feet. Other than this damage, which is enough, tAe bridge is pas sable and if the water does not con- tiuue to gouge out the sand under the foundation the bridge can be raised and everything put in shape again. It IS unfortunate that it comes just st this time.
