Febr- ary the twenty-second was duly o’sfrvel at the college at which time “rules were suspended” drring the day and a general season of holiday and pleasant social intercourse was enjoyed. The chief event of the day, however, was the annual celebration by the Clio Society which began in the college cha pel promptly at eight o’clock, P, M. At this point. Chief Marshall H. P. Cline, of Charlestown, W. Va., ushered t/he members of the committee, who were to decide apon the debate and also award the gold medal for the best speech from an oralorical standpoint, to scats imme diately in front of the rostrum. Then the entertainment club, marching in reg ular order took their places upon the rostrum and after preliminary remarks by the chairman of the occasion, Mr. J. A. Dickey, the regular program followed. The of.en'ng number was a cornet solo, “Angels’ Serenade,” by Mr. R. A. Camji- lell, (Md). Following this, Mr. W. A. Tri\ette. (N. ('.) spoke on “Winning the Pace.” an i mentioned oi)timism. punc- t al'ty. honosty, etc . as essential to suc- I pss in any line of endeavor. Mr. 0. M. Fames, of 'he cllege. then gave a mos; h ’n’orii- s hi'moresoue which was fre- f’ently interrupted by hearty appaluse. Mr. J. I,. F’armer, (Va.) followed this w'th an or.ition, “Other MfNamaras.” Mr. Farmer's remarks were not inten ded to .lustify ti e acts of t' e McNamaia Iro hrrs in the I '.-llic eye, hr! would call attention to the I'ontinuo’S d.'nred;itions ■’t'o'i the innocent pu' lic by food a-hil- t''?ators. and to t'le crinii"al negligence o? hardened employers, mine owners and t’le like. "'r. A. M. Barnes entertained well at this ji-i'-ture with a vo-al golo, foHow- irg vh'ch t' e debate, of, course the cliief (■‘ent of t’’^ horr, wp.s he^-^. "if-'Ts. ( . 11 Pidcle an I H. S, So^'th- a’d upheld the pfPrma^ive, w'JI ‘ M-.suri-'. C. Ward and R. V’. I«ftin maintained the negati'e sxle of the o.uery, Resolvei, tl'at raw materials essential to subsequent mani'faeture should be free from c'.is- I oTi luty vvhen entering the United States. T!'e debate, which was at once intei esting. i'.iFtrr.ctive a^’d well rendered, re fects credit vpon those who participated, renown tipon the society which they rep resented and honor upon the ius.titution of which this society is a.part. In the judges’ report, two ballots were fornd for the negative ani one for tht atr^rmati- c. Mr. C. C. Ward was awarded the orator’s medal wbirh is a handsom*^ a^c,ir in the design of the society’s ofTi- oial seal \sit-h its motto, “Nitimur in- ad- \ersum,” en'jraved upon it. The members of the porrmitte were Prof. J. B. Ro'.inson. ^'uperiritendent of Piil.lie Insfriu'tion of Alamance Co'.inty; fVof. 8. (}. Pollini;3. Superintendent of Kenly Graded Schools, formerly a stii- dt^nt }:ere and memVer of the Clio Socie ty; and Rev. T. K. Sykes, Methodist min*- ister from Hurlins'ton,,N. C. While the committee was deciding con cerning the orator’s medal, Messrs. ('^amp- yell and Barnes sang as Baritone .luet, “The V inter Wind,’’ Miss Florence Wil son. accompanist. But probably the most pleasant (in a way, at least) part of the evening to those who attended was the St.ig Spread held in the Dining Hall at West Dormi- tory^ from eleven to tWo-thirty. .given by members of the Society to those who participated in the program and yisitin^ old and honorary members. TJiia was in- •ieed an elaborate affair and with Dr. J. 0. Atkinson as toast-master, things war* kept moving from “ So::p tj Swipe” in a most lively, interesting and at the same time, projier manner. Kxcelleiit toasts were gi\en by Rev. Sykes. Prof. Rober son and Pro:', Rollings. Jlessrs. Carl Herndon, Cd IIati'!i, Profs, (of the col lege) I awre-':ce and Brannue k. and Dr. W icker, yesters. J. S. Lincoln and L. E. Holland, and others, all of %hich were tilled with tie zest an! flavor of the true “after-dinner" type: Ths Menu: ' o;'kt.iil (ireen T rtle Soup. Salted Almonds Aspara,gus Sauce Vinegarette Chicktn Salad Grape Frnit Punch. Roast \ o'.ing Turkey Nvt Dressing. Cranl errv Sauce French Green Peas. Neapolitan Ice Cream lancy Cakes After Dinner Coffee. I' ruits Cigars. Rose Path Water. rile c'cca.-'ion was indeed a delightful one and impres.sions of fellowship and goo ’nvil! among' tho.'e pnseit will go \vit![ the participants to their respective \'ocati'UiS to be held as moniories of rar- ttt pU us ;ie and delight. T3 A Lr.BT BROTHER. By R. A. At’rins. ■ I 0 ,yon my dear brother, a stor,v I write, /• nd beant'fi'l it must he— Pecr.rss it t,“ll3 of memor'es bright, And one dear to you and me. It v.-as Jes”.s w'ho left'that home aljov* And died on (al-, ary's tree To sa e the ones He so dearly loved— To s;ivc loth jqu and me. To Him my heart 1 have given hom 1 shall ever ser\ e. So lon:^ ,as life to me is given Pecj^use He so‘r:chIy deserves. At the door of your hearl, dear lirotber, He is \Va ting, day by day. He’s anxiously an1 patiently waiting— Let Him :n while yet ,vou may. Pray do not longer turn a deaf ear, B'!t open rnto Him with gladness— For soon it will be too late. I fear, Wl-ea He has turned' away with sad ness. For He knows the day is coming afar, When you shall stand at the' door of heaven Waiting for someone to push them ajar ‘ But too late, no entrance is jfiven. Man's life is but a working day, Where lacks are set arliht; A time to work, a time to pray. And then a qiriet night. A ioii,-dr:iv.n breath, a bfilm for aorrow’^ And all thiujis low;ly on the mcr-.iw. —Ctaristia.-i G. RoMetU.
