FAREWELL ISSUE.
The Editorial, “ Our Friends,” was
crowded out from last week's issue. It
does not apply to articles in the State
press this week.
We of course feel grateful for the man
uor in which the pteas Jkave..*u-4UHtlj
come to our rescue.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE.
" We are in receipt of a copy of Km> anii
Slack, a neat little 4-page paper published by
the students of the Athens University. Ex
cept for a very decided disisisilion to abuse
the editor of the Eagle, the Rkd and Black
is unite a readable paper, and shows that I
playing football and painting goats an* not
the only accomplishments of wldeli the stu- j
dents may proudly boast.
We guess that Kk» and Hi.ack are symbolic
of tile hues whieh those festive goats had as
stinted when they emerged from under tne ar
tistic hands of the editors and managers of
the paper. And. furthermore, we are not rep- j
rohensihle in conjecturing that the paper is
the nlticial organ of the numerous literary so
ciety know u as the tioatpaiiiters. You may
talk of your FhlChis, your Fhi Mils, and your
Epsilon Yamacraws. but for mstlieticisip and
intellectuality and good solid work all the
year round, give us the (ioulpainters every
time,
There are two long nr.lcles in this organ of
the tioatpaiiiters devoted to the Eagle, and
all the good tliiligs they say of us eouid lie
squeezed into a niustar 1 see I. i >uc of the ar
ticles is an editorial ami tlie other is a con
tribution from a student of the somewhat
sumptions name of Edwin Calsill Kyals.
We don't know, of course, whether Eddie
is a shanghai or a Imiity, hut as the bunty is
greatly in the maiority at the University, we
w ill call him Bunty Kyals, and invite him to
hammer away on us, let the I,. 0. I. Gouta
alone, and lie a good boy."-<isinesv i lie Eagle

which permeates tlie atmosphere of
Gainesville and its vicinity with its own
peculiar ideas of higher education, anti
revels in its own peculiar conception of
the English language, has again appear
ed on the scene of conllict.
This time it has turtle.) its attention to
tlie '' goat-paiuiein," organization
existing only in the fertile I had start
ed to say brain—in the fertile Imagine
tion of its editor, and to my unworthy
self. In the article it advises me "to
hammer away on its, let the L. c. I.
goats alone, and be a good boy.” Each
of these excellent pieces of advice I
shall religiously aud vigorously follow
out.
The “Eagle" is kind enough to say,
that the “Bid aid Black is quite a
readable paper, and shows that playing
football and painting goats are not the
only accomplishments of which tlie stu
dents may proudly boast.” A careful
perusal of tlie columns of the “ Eagle"
fully convinces me that a course of I
“higher education" would perhaps do
the editor some material good, and so
broaden his mind and enlarge his vision
that lie could see other things in the
University, of which the students may
proudly and fearlessly boast. ,
It is neither my desire nor intention to i
engage in a newspaper controversy with
the " Eagle" or its editor, nor is there
anything about which a controversy
could be carried on. The charges which
have been made against the University
by the “Eagle" and others of its ilk,
have been proved to be baseless and ma
licious fabrications. That matter has
been fully and completely discussed.

In regard to the allusions to myself,
which appear in the article, I have noth
ing to say. They are utterly beneath
iny contempt.

FRESHMAN DAYS.
A f«»ii< 1 farewell lit* bids his home.
Whore recollection! duster dear,
Am oIT lie »focM to college halls
To act the roll of student there.

A mother'll voice no more lie’ll hear.
The joys of home he’ll know no more,
For he must share the Ntudent'a lot
Of all who to the ’Varsity go.
FOUR STAGES OF A STUDENT S LIFE.
There are four great stages in the life
of every student. However short these
stages may ho, it is transition from tlie
hipysl to Jlm ltiiilmrtlld.aiuuiiwUmt.
Ill
The last good-byes are fondly said.
Ho IsHirds the train and speeds away.
Soon Athens, with her classic halls,
1 mmis in the distanee far away.

He views tin* grand old l*. of <i.
The college cry rings on Ids ear
Ami startles his serenity.
V.
Kxu'uh. lie now i>r«mu«d« to stand. »
So that a Freshman he may In*.
The goal that he desireth ho
Seems now, alas! so far away.
VI.
Kxams are o’er, with Joyous heart
lie thinks his trials now are done,
When some one whispers in Ids ear,
“You must he turned ’fore 'morrow’s sun.’
VII.
And when the mantle of the night
Falls on the city’s classic walls,
H‘* sees a crowd with clulm and sticks
Proceed Ids tender frame m mull.
VIII.
Hut trials, though they lie severe,
Must end at last, ami he's relieved.
So now he w alks the classic streets

IX.
He learns to yell the college ery.
Ami cut exauiH whene'er he please.
He learns to wa'k by L t'. 1.
Ami svviiu a cane with greatest ease.
X.
Not many days do pass away
Hefore he fully is resigned
To eat th«« Athens l*»ard<*r* hash
With many sufferers of his kind.
XI.
Yet many things he yet must learn
While Freshman flays are passing by.
For instance, get excused from drill.
Am! lay It all to weakness of eyes.
XII.
He learns to play at many games
That all may leam at U. of <»„
Which will not do to mention here
For fear the Faculty might see.
XIII.
The road of knowledge up he climbs.
It is a rough and toilsome way,
(especially when he gets a hid
On l>r. B—'s reception flay.
XIV.
But he. like others gftne before,
Soon knows the ways of college life
That gird him with an armour stroug
To meet foes in future strife.

termiin's, in a great measure, the man of
after life. The Ilrst of these groat sta
ges, as every student knows, is the stage
of a Fresh man. During this stage the
hard dull wits are being softened, pol-
ialiiBg and refinement begin their work,
and knowledge begins to fill up the |
empty receptacles of the brain. Through
this stage, however much detested, all
must pass sooner or later, if they would
attain to that higher realm of the selj-
coneeited Sophomore. After a period
of twelve months in this first stage,
when refinement lias failed to make the
intended Impression and knowledge lias
fallen far short of its aim, they lmth
willingly and cheerfully surrender the
student to the second stage, the stage of
the egotistical Sophomore. In this sou
oml stage the “Fresh” element remains
the same, hut time lias done its work,
ami file student of the second year Is all
wise in his own estimation, but wofully
deficient in the eyes of Intellectual
judges. Often, however, vanity and
conceit alone distinguish the student of
^ Ills class from the immediately p^-eding
” fl frequently "Imppens that Hip
proprlato title of "Soph-fresh” in given
tuiituili'nt, meaning, that in point of
time alone he isaSuph, whereas from an
intellectual atnnilpolnt he la atill in the
humble stage of a Freahman.
We now reach tlie stage of a Junior,
when the atinlent tirat fee I a liia deficiency

Your head may lie as empty in many
reapecta aa the vain Sophomore upon
whom you look with acorn. "A little

empty brain eatnrated with only a little
knowledge ia conatantly anrging and
reeking an outlet, thereby producing a
continual atrain on the walla of the

fatal cxploelon. A man poaaeaaed witli
