Recognition of High Talent, It is whispered that Miss Lessie Southgate, the accomplished Direc tor ot the Durham School of Music, las received an excellent offer as an assistant in one of the finest musi cal institutions of the country, and hat she contemplates accepting. We are gratified at this deserved re cognition of Miss Southgate's very superior talent, but we are tempted to beselhsh enough to hope that she Will not leave us. the community would part with her with very great reluctance. We would be delighted to know that Miss Southgate will find it to her interest to remain in Durham. ! ! - -... Miirbtily Tickled. The Durham Recorder goes into conniptions and shakes its fat sides with paroxysms of loud smiles be cause The Plant had a typograph ical error in that piece about the Recorder being so behind the times in reference to overcoats having been furnished the D. L. I. If our neigh bor hadn't jumped at this error, like a hungry fish nabbing at bait, it would have seen that the error was in its favor. The mistake was in the date of the issue of the Recorder in which with, 30 much solemnity, it wondered why our military corn- pan v had been subjected to such ln- jutice as not to be favored with over coats, when the boys had had the coats for nearly six weeks. We said Recorder ot Februarys 17th. It should have been February 27th, and so the Recorder, by its own ac knowledgment, was ten days further behind than The Plant had it. Stir your stumps, brother, and catch up with the procession. The Lenten Season. In connection with the announce ment of Lenten Services, the Rector of St. Philip's Church has issued the following letter to his congregation : My Dear Brethren : Anoiher Lent is here with its opportunities, its du ties and its helps. The great object of the season is to help us live nearer God, and to battle in Christ's strength against our sins. To make it a real help to you you must do the following things : 1. Examine your lives and see in what respect they fail to fulfill the great law of love to God and to man. 2. Pray and study God's word more faithfully in private, and at tend as far as possible the daily ser vices in church. 3. Den' self in food, drink, dress, amusements and in every kind of excess. 4. Give cheerfully as an Easter offering to the Lord that which has cost you some real self denial in Lent. 5. Come as often as you can to the Holy Communion. Praying God to give you more and more of His Holy Spirit, I remain, Faithfully yours. i. m. vjeorge, itector. Plant Photographs. Rev. H. T. . Darnall returned to day. . Mr. W. B.
