tives in the student body. Nine-
tenths of all the graduates of

The public appropriation bill
for public buildings as passed by
the House and Senate fails to
provide an appropriation for Bur
lington, although every person
from the Congressman to United
States Senators promised that
they would see we were provided
for in the bill Several towns
much smaller than the city of
Love and flowers were provided
for, which goes to show that the
size of town, postoffice receipts
etc., have nothing to do with the
matter, it all depends upon pull,
social political and otherwise.
- We will give afull history next
week of the effort to secure a
public building from the time the
first bill was introduced down to
the present time, showing the
promises and inducemints made
to cur people by those in author
ity. But now all broken and
shattered like pie crast. After
carefully reviewing this history
both Democratic awd^Repubiicans
can put the failure to secure re
cognition upon each other and get
such comfort as their conscience
dictates.
L*'st Service in Lutheran Church.
On next Sunday morning at
11 o’clock the last services will
be held in the old building of the
Lutheran Church. The following
week the old building will be
torn down. This is the first
church building erected in Bur
lington, except the' old Union
Church. Having served its day
and generation it will be tom
down to give way to the hand
some new church edifice. The
services on Sunday will be a sort
of a fare well to the old church
and will be historicin nature.
The public is invited.

Children’s Pay exercises were
heild in Front street Methodist

11 o’clock. The church was fill
ed to its utmost capacity, and
every one seemed deeply inter
ested in the exercises from start
to finish. A programme of un
usual interest had been prepared
for the occasion, and this pro-
gra,me w^ followed throughout
without a single hitch of any
sort. The children taking part

perior natural ability and splend
id training. The universal ver
dict was that the exercises of
last Sunday have never been sur

Broom Com.
Think of it! Broom corn is
one of the most profitable crops
that can be grown, and „ for the
least money. Suppose you raise
only 1,000 pounds of broom com
on one acre of land, which is a
very low-estimate. The market
today for Broom Corn is $200 to
$225 per ton and very scarce at
these figiu'es. Now, what other
crop (jan you plant that will bring
you more money per acreage? It
is a very easy crop to grow and
gather, and will grow on almost
any kind of soil, especially sandy
loam with red sub-soil. Try a
few acres in broom corn next
year and see if it is more profit
able than cotton or tobacco, it
is in great demand.
