With tliis issue llte Reporter closes
its publication of “Winter in the
Rockies,” and hopes that these ex
cellent pieces have not been passed
over in a caieless manner by those
who generally do not r ead long art i-
oles. The writer is one who learned
from experience all which was there
in written, and he is one whom we
all know well. The Reporter de
sires to return thanks to our eorri
it is known that the proprietor of
t he hotel is much annoyed by ibis,
and that it grieves his heart when
ever he sees a student come into his
waiting room. This should he rem
edied bv throwing open the doors of
some recitation room, and telling all
i he students toetime in and make
themselves comfortable. This is
one of our needs, anti it is to be
hoped that we wi'l secure that which
we ask.
THE COLLEGE GOES DRV.
The all absorbing topic of the day
is prohibition, and the discussion
upon it has been male all the more
furious by the defeat of prohibition
in Atlanta. Out of mere curiosity,
the count was taken in college, to
see what the boys thought about it.
After a careful canvass of all the
students, the following voles were
determined : Law class, 8 wet. 2
dry—wet majority 6 ; Senior cla-s.
dry 28, wet 14—dry majority 14 ;
Junior class, dry 22, wet, 23—wet
majority 1 ; Sophomore class, dry
30, wet 24—dry majority 6 ; Fresh
man class, dry 26. wet 10 -dry ma
jority 16. Thus it will be seen that
i lie college goes dry by 29 majority.
The prohibitionists of the Junior
class say that the vote does not ftp
resent the sentiment of the class,
but as a careful canvass was given
1 Uadi member, the vote must stand
potident fiom the “Far West, tin'
genial and clever Arnold Brovles ol
the Law Class, and hopes to find
space iu its columns for more of his
productions.
The system of electing men to
the office of champion debate, is
meeting with some opposition by
those who wish to substitute a sys
tem of competition for the places.
Auy member under the latter sys
tem can compete for the place in a
debate for this purpose, and from
those competing are chosen the best
three. Both systems present argu
ments in their favor, and both pre
sent many defects, but it seems that
the system Of competition is the pre
ferable one, and we hope to see it
pass. The question is now being
agitated in our Societies, and some
conclusion of the matter is expected
soon
as it is. It is safe to say however,
that the college is decidedly dry at
present, and wishes to see Clarke
county slay dry forever.

During the last few day's it has
beeu forcibly suggested by the cold
weather that there is a most impor
tant thing lacking in the University
—a waiting room in which students
may congregate. Those students
who live off the campus any dis
tance, cannot return to their board :
ing houses after each recitation, and
in cold weather cannot stand around
on the campus. Consequently they
go to seek a warmer place than the
open air, and inevitably find the
Commercial Hotel the place. Now
SOMETHIAG STARTLING.
The social sensation of the week
occurred Thursday night at the Y.
M. C. A. entertainment. Had you
heard of it ? If not, then lend an
ear to the tale which gossip has to
Lull. The audience were deeply in
terested that evening iu the intri
cate evolutions of the waiter drill,
wheu suddenly their attention was
attracted by three persons who en
tered in at the door. The one was
a perfect representative ofthatclass
ieal character, Cinderella ; and this
charming debutant awoke in all pre
sent feelings of admiration, and also
of jealousy for her two companions,
Messrs. Axson aud Griggs. ‘ Who
is she ?” was whispered, as this Cin
derella went through the erowd, de
lighting all encountered, by the
vivacity of her conversation, as well
as the beauty of her form. For
hours the company delighted in pay
ing homage to this tail' maiden: and
oysteis, stewed aud fried, were freely-
set ’em up to her. But like Cinder
ella the parting came only too soon;
at the striking of the fixed hour,the
stranger darting through the crowd
disappeared into the outer night,
leaving behind scores of hearts
