Last Saturday night was a great
occasion for the town and especial
ly for the college. The big annu
al ball was held at tho gymnasi

and his good lady as the chief
guests of honor. Col. Cole is pro
fessor of military science and tac
tics in Clemson College, and is in

ness for inspection.
Saturday night a varied pro
gram of unusual interest was ar
ranged for tho large audience that
packed the[ college chapel. The
curtain rose on a series of three-
round boxing bouts by stalwart
students. G. J. Yancey and Gabe
Jarrard were the first to crawl
through the ropes. Yancey was
declared winner on points, al
though the bout was otherwise a
draw. H. A. McAbee was declar
ed winner over M. L. Griffin. The
real heavy-weight contest of the
evening was between J. W. Me-
Garity and S. J. MuCurry. It
looked ut first as jf McGority
would bo an easy winner, but his
antagonist came back in the last
round with such pep and “punch”
that the contist was called a draw.
The last boxing event was between
W. D. Patterson of the N. G. A.
College and a representive of the
tho University of Georgia. The
announcement of the decision in
favor of Patterson was greeted
with henrty applause.
There was a wrestling match be

count of himself and received
much praise from his fellow stu
dents.
A free picture show was put on
at the college chapel for those who
preferred this kind of entertain

thf artistic decorations of the hall
gave it the appearance of fairyland ;
while the brilliantly gowned ladies
with their gallant escorts almost
persuaded the spectator that he
was seeing visions and dreaming
dreams.
Portlier students living in the
locality were present in full force,
and many graduates of former
years were here from a distance.
In the midst of the distinguished

It costs a lot of money to have a
big up to date dance. Years ago
when the boys and girls wanted to
have a dance all that had to be
done was for them to assemble,
when some fellow would pick up
the fiddle, go to playing and the
fun commenced. And when he
got tired playing would hand the
fiddle to the next man. Nearly all 1
the men who attended dances in!
thoes days could play the fiddle.
Wo saw a truck loaded with
wood mire up near the Presbyte

dug up the streets for the water
pipes and left them without being
packed by a roller. So when it
rains we have plenty of water and
mud. The latter is not wanted
but we will have to put up with it
for some time. Audit looks now
during and some time after a rain,
that the Methodist church will
have to lie moved up nearer the
concrete sidewalks.
