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. seared by the hot fire nl “ love ai sight,” But they find mmething else is left belli nil whij ||i affords n clue to the fair masher. jtjl the floor is found a del cate slip hr. such as only the tiniest footeutd wear.— ‘•Now for the owner,” ssjii they.

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 LITERARY SOCIETIES.
