one of a series of meetings planned
to be held at the Institute during the

to bring about a thorough and complete
understanding between the faculty,
the students and the local
board of trustees.
Promptly at 6:45-o'clock the bell
rang and soon the guests were ushered
into a well-lighted and beautifully
decorated dining-room. Following
the guests were the faculty of
the Institute and the student body.
The tables were laden with good
things, prepared in such a manner
as to tempt the appetite of the most
fastidious.
After all had partaken of tne
choice, delicacies and viands, Rev. J.

too, the opportunity of being mem*

The evening's pleasure came to an

It was with genuine regret that

When the condition of the farmer
is serious they are ready to share
in our loss. Who are we going to
patronize? Such men as these and
others who take steps to come to our
aid by purchasing a bale of cotton
and keeping it after the war, or the
one who says I am sorry for yon,
brother farmer, yet makes no effort
to help in the time of need.
I think it is every farmer's duty
to trade with these people and help
them in every way possible. After '
we pull through the present crisis
we shfuld not forget who it was that
I came to our help In the hour of
