Enrollment two hundred ninety-six. It looks like three hundred before Christmas. MR. FELTON ARRIVES. Mr. Calvin Jones Felton of Magnolia, Virginia, A. B. graduate of the Col lege last June has been elected Instruct or in English and Mathematics and enter ed upon his duties October second. Air. Felton has an unblemished record for his four years as a student in ad dition to the high mark attained in pur suit and completion of his College course. He is a steady Christian of the gentle man type and his elevation to his posi tion of honor in connection with his Alma Mater will be gratifying to his many friends who believe in his ability to meas ure up to the standard required. Mr. Felton is welcome back among us. The Graded School is to open in the building which has been used for the past four or five years for such purposes, and not in the eight room $6,000 brick struc ture, which is now in course of construc tion. Tliis new building will not be ready for a month, or perhaps six weeks, yet, but as soon as it is completed, the Grad ed School will move from the old build ing to the new. The new structure is a handsome one indeed, and is a matter of local pride. Rev. Jas. L. Foster, who for seven years has been the general superintend ent of the Christian Orphanage at this place, has resigned his position on ac count of failing health, and has accepted the pastorate of the Christian church at Waverly, Va. Rev. Mr. Foster 4s an able minister and the Waverly people are fortunate to secure his services. His many friends here regret that he is to leave our midst. The North Carolina and Virginia Chris tian Conference will hold its eightieth an nual session at the First Christian Church, of Greensboro, on Tuesday after the 3rd Sunday in November. The Christian Church at this place is a member of this Conference and is entitled to three dele gates. Professors W. P. Lawrence, W. A. Harper and Mr. W. T. Noah have been chosen to represent this church in this session of the Conference, with Mr. J. C. McAdams, Mr. D. W. Brown and Dr. G. S. Watson as alternates. The local church in business session on W'ednesday ni^ht of this week re-elected Rev. J. O. Atkinson, D. D., pastor, and Rev. J. W. Wellons as co-pastor, for the ensuing year. These pastors have served this church in their respective capacities for the past ten years, and their recall to their position of responsibility shows the universal esteem in which they are held by the people here. The publishing house of the Southern Christian Convention will be erected on the lot adjoining the Elon Banking and Trust Co. The ground has already been broken for the foundation, and the con tract let for the brick and wood work. The structure is to be completed by the first of January, for the plant will start up then to publish the Christian Sun, the College publications and other work. This publishing house will contain on its first floor press room and offices and composing room for the publishing busi ness, and on its second floor a town hall and dormitory rooms for College students. It will be a handsome structure; will cost about $12,000 and will add much to the business facilities of our town. ITEMS OF IXIEBEST OF ELON. ■' COLLEGE. Tlie Graded School of this district which includes the town of Elon College and some out-lyin;' rural territory, will open on Monday next, with Miss Circe Coble, of Liberty, N. C., as principal, and with Miss Nannie Baker Farmer, News Ferry, Va. and Miss Cuthbertson, of Monroe, N. C. as assistants. It is very likely that a third assistant will also be necessary, from the prospective attend ance which now seems to be assured to be large. The new management desires to express its intention to conduct the paper on a strictly business basis and desires to en list the co-operation of the many friends and patrons of the College to make the undertaking a success. They hope to give the public a paper interesting to all wheth er student or not, but at the same time have a sufficient College tone about it to make it a distinctly CoUege paper. Your patronage solicited, your respons es appreciated. DB. J. H. BBOO KS, DENTAL .SURGEON Office Over Foster's Shoe Store BURLINGTON, N. CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT. Beginning with the current issue the newly elected staff take charge of the Weekly. As Mr. J. C. Stewart who has been Business Manager for this publica tion is out of college having graduated June last, C. B. Riddle will have charge of the business affairs of the Elon Col lege Weekly Co., as a result of election at the first meeting of the stockholders for the current year held Thursday Octob er 26, 1912. R. A. Campbell remains editor and the paper will be continued as before, being published on Friday of each week. MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION. The Association was led by Mr. B. M. Williams. He selected a very beautiful and helpful subject from Matthew 22nd chapter, “Brotherly love.” He gave the Association a good interesting talk, and we feel like it did much good, as it was enjoyed by all. Several of the members took part and said many good things which we should put in our every day lives. We should first know our Heavenly Father’s will and then do it, and we can’t know it with" out studying and praying over His word. Ijct ns as ministerial students learn His will and then do that will unto others. There were several fellows that were not out last night. Let us be more loyal to the cause that we are to represent, and go to these meetings for it will certainly do us all god. We are glad to welcome another new member, Mr. Rippy, and feel that the^As sociation will be a benefit to him, and we hope to make the Association better by his presence.

Come evory ministerial students and let’s push the cause forward. W. T. Lewis. Y. W. C. A. Y. W. C. A. met on Sunday afternoon at its usual hour with a larire number of girls present. , The meeting was oi>ened with a song service after which our leader Miss Janie Lee Beale read for the scripture lesson the first chapter of Romans having cho sen as her subject “Faith.” Then followed a chain of prayers in which nearly every one took part. The meeting was then declared open for general participation. Several very interesting talks were made on the sub ject and we were rejoiced to see many of the new girls joining our ranks. After a closing song we were dismissed by the Lord’s Prayer repeated in concert This year bids fair to be a very success ful one in our Y. W. C. A. Pearl Tuck. week will not be missed in the long run. It has helped men in the past, for we see them today and they testify to this. I would like to request the old mem bers to each bring a man next time and if you cannot bring one, bring two. If you once get them to come and they get interested in the work you cannot keep them away afterwards. Staley Wickers. Y. M. C. A. The meeting was very interesting to night. The subject was Obedience and a goodly number spoke on and d v loped it. Our leader was Mr. R. F. Brown, a man in school here, but, from the success of his meeting, he seems to be an old one in the Y. M. C. A. work. The attendance tonight was not up to the average. The boys seem to forget about the meeting and do not come. I hope all of the boys in school will read this and then come to the Y. M. C. A. It IN THE PHILOGIAN HALI.. Our program Friday night was ex ceedingly good and was well rendered by all participants. The old men as well as the new are taking great interest in society work. The new men, forty-four in number, are doing the best work of any bunch of new flowers we have ever had and speaking in the Philologian Hall is like s[jeaking to a public audience since we have so many members. Fifty of our old men have returned, and with forty-four new members we now have an enrollment of ninety-four, and with more men to join us, we feel confident that our num ber will pass the one hundred mark ere the fall term closes. Our best orator Friday night was W. C. Purcell. He presented his speach in a creditable manner and showed himself master of the occasion as well as of his selection. The next and most important item was the debate, which resolved itself thus; that the jury was justifiable in acfjuit- ting Victor Allen. The affirmative was upheld by Mr. T. J. Green. The negative and winning side found as its strongest defense, J. F. Morgan.
