CARD OF THANKS

Words are inadequate in try
ing to express our feeling Of
gratitude to our many friends
for their kindness and help dur
ing our late bereavement; such
real friendship and comfort comes
only from people with true Christ

The flowers were beautiful, and
we wish to thank you for the
noble message of respect which
they brought.
We had hoped to thank each
one individually, but sickness has
prevented, so we take this occa-
sion to express our sincere thanks
to all.

Former A. & N. Head
Last Monday Committee Finds Rus

We're UnfOunded

The special House committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges
contained in Gov. Russelrs biennial
message against Prof. W. H. Smith,
former president of the Mississippi
A. & NJ. College, and other officers
and employees of the institution, in
reference to an alleged deficit in
accounts, submitted its report to the
House.
The report was made by Mr.. Will
liams of Newton, and is signed by
all members of the committee ex-
cept Mr.. Adams. 1t is a complete
vindication of Prof. Smith, who is
now in charge of military education
work in the United States army,
with headquarters at Washington.
The excess of expenditures over
appropriations is attributed in the re-
port to the fact that in 1918 the col
lege was converted into a Student
Officers Training Camp, and it was
Imperative that Indebtedness be in
Cured in, order to properly maintain
this organization. especially when ar

one time more than 1900 cases were
under treatment. The college was
even required to nay the railroad

With a steady nerve and a heart that's

A patient soul and a mind serene;

Who knows the value of silence, too;
A man to laugh in the face of fate.

Whose smile is kindly whose wrath is

But a terrible wrath for men to know.
Whose plans are evil, whose cause un-

for its results" adding that "the yer.
