Tar Heel:
Affairs at
the University this year have, been
very encouraging. The students
have at last realized that it is only
through the efforts of each individ
ual that any college organization
can succeed. r t
Our football season came to a
successful close with the game with
Oxford on Thanksgiving Day. The
rest.lt of the game was very grati
fying and amply rewarded those
who had worked so conscienciously
throughout the season. The year
began with by no means cheerful
prospects; the material at hand was
new, inexperienced, and light, but
the boys never lost courage, and
through the faithful work of coach,
caotain and members 01 the team
we succeeded in' winning two out b

The game will be a great socia
event and the athletic association
hopes to free itself of the large deb
which has been hanging over its
head for some time past.
The weather is so warm "that the
classes have decided to organize their
class baseball teams in January and,
play a series of twelve games. This
will help greatly the 'Varsity which
promises with the asssistance of an
efficient coach to be one of the best
that-has ever represented the Uni
versity. The concert of the Glee
Club on December 11th was a great
success both socially and .financial
ly. A Bi-Metallic Club has lately
been organized for the purpose o
stud vino- the monetary question. In
other fields the students are, takin
great interest and everything ap
pears to be progressing.
College Spirit.
The New Wood Arrangement.
Without doubt the new arrange
ment for supplying the college with
wood is one ot the most beneficial
improvements that has been made
here for some time. The Electric
Power Company supplies the wood,
all sawed one length, at a cheaper
rate than it can be obtained, else
where. In fact the saving is some
thing like sixty cents on the cord.
In addition to this several students
are given work sawing the wood,
and the unsightly chip and wood
piles are removed from the campus.
Dr. Alderman and Prof. Gore de
serve the thanks of the student
b o d y for originating this , new
scheme.

Gov. Russell's Private Secretary.
A Chapel Hill Man Honored. '
It gives the Tar Heel pleasure
to announce that Mr. Joe. E. Alex
ander, of the class, of '95, is to be
the private , secretary . of our new
Governor. Mr. Alexander, as Sec
retary of the Republican- State
Committee, did good work for his
party in the recent campaign and
this position of ,:, honor is a fit recog
nition of his service and labor. The
older men in College will remember
Mr. Alexander as the successful
manipulator of college politics and
it seems , that he has . been verr
successful elsewhere on a much lar
ger scale., . .. . , .., ,, , i , .ir v

to know that Mr. Alexander., is,; in

We congratulate .Mr. Alexander
and rejoice at his success.
A Delightful Evening at Prof.
Gore's. A
On Saturday evening, Dec. 26,
Professor and Mrs. Gore gave a. re
ception to those students who re
mained on the Hill for the holidays.
Mrs. Marriat, Mrs. Gore's sister,
and Miss Dot Manning, assisted in
receiving.
. After some delightful songs', ren
dered by Mrs. Gore, Mrs. Mariat,
Dr. Mangum and others, we all
marched out to partake of four or
five courses of most elegant refresh
ments. , .
Mrs. Gore is a charming hostess;
she is as vivacious and full of fun
as any young lady. Everyone ex
pressed himself as having spent a
pleasant evening indeed.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, God in his omniscience
has seen best to take from us our
fellow-member and co-worker, Mr.
J. C. Abbott, therefore be it
Resolved. 1st, that we, in hum,
ble submission to his divine will
accept this seeming chastisement in
full belief that it is for our eternal
good.
Resolved. 2nd, That in his death
the Philanthropic Literary Society
has lost one who ever had its inte-

rests at heart and who exerted ,
himself for its well being.
Resolved. , 3rd, That a copy of
these resolutions be spread on the
minutes of the Society, a copy pub-
ished in the Tar HEEL, a copy
sent to his county paper, and a copy
sent to his bereaved family.
