About five years ago Mr. A. W. ]Mo tin-was called to the presidency of I Louisburg College, and with his innu ' guration began a new era Inthe life of the old College. Old buildings | were remodeled and refurnished, ma new buildings began to rise on the ;campus; modern equipment placed in 'class rooms and laboratories and the student roll began to grow.

' | This beautiful building stands upon the campue as a lasting memorial to the loyalty and love of Franklin County people. But this is an un finished memorial. Let us all redeem our pledgee so that it may not stand as a monument to our broken faith with our historic old college. In the fall of 1920 our people were unable to pay their iffedgesbecause of the low price of cotton, but we are not facing such a condition today. Because of the Increase in the stu dent body and in order to meet cer tain requirements of the State Board of Education it was absolutely necea sary that the class rooms and labora tories on the flret floor of the Frank lin Comity Building be completed and equipped for the opening of the pre. sent college year. The trustees didn't have the funds la hand to do this work, but ther assumed that as they held the pledges of the splendid peo ple of Franklin connty they would b? safe in having the work done, feeling sure you would redeem your pledges when they became dne. Trusting you, they contracted a debt This debt imust be paid at once, and the only source of funds with which to meet this debt and complets the building la vour pledges. Loyal people of Louisburg and Franklin county, send In the amount due on your "pledges at once and half your college to medt fts obligations, obligations based on your pledged good faith. Louisburg College stands on the threshold of a new day?a great day and next week the TIMES will ta|) you of some of the great things In store tor the College In the near fu ture. ?bore all, pay your pledge to the Franklin County But)ding Fund.

He relates some interesting ex. ! perieuces In letters to friends here. ! According to Winston the City of I Montpeller wss left tnwrrtwe -shape after the flood waters had receded somewhat. There was no light except lanterns, lamps and candles, no tele phone or telegraph service, and pass age through the streets were difficult. There had been no looting.

When the fire was discovered a small blase was coming out of the top ot the main building about 1:30 o'clock and by 2:30 was laid to ashes. By the time help could realh the scene the fire had gained such headway that It was Impossible to save anything ; except a few bales of cotton that were on the ground.By heroic work by peo-' pie who rushed in, all the baled cot.

Miss Henneman's explanations were Instructive and interesting, especially to music students and those who have made no special study ot musk:. She is an attractive personality and make* her mesage quite clear in a pleasing manner. In MacDowell's March Wind, the au dience could easily realise tits pre*, ence of a wind storm. Debruaay'a "Gollinogg's Lake Walts" was well done and descriptive. In Rsehman. ioff's "Pollchirelle," Punch and Judy danced and quarreled to the delight of everyone present. Miss Henneman's Amplco demon stration was quite good. She took up the melody as the Ampico left off playing without a break and the playing of the Ampico and the artist were so popnlar that it was difficult to decide which was the most enjoy, able. ^These concerts are pleasing, in structive aud interesting.
