College which is only about five weeks off. In these few short weeks must be crowded work which, under ordinary conditions, would be spread over months. There can be little rest to teachers and students, day or night, untill "taps” are sounded on Tuesday, June, 1st., ihe last day of tho session. Every year ihe same ceaseless grind of details must be experienced. The same old question arises with each re curring Commencement season, “how can we ever manage to get through with it all”? The strain is nerve-racking the pressure crushing; but somehow, by the set date, the various tasks are i all finished, and ihe school is ready to greet the crowd of visitors, and enter upon the commencement festivities with expectant interest. Tt is the same old story. Nobody knows just how if was done, but dome it is. And every body is happy. This year is not likely to prove an exception to the rule. Outline of Exercises. The full program of commewrenwwt exercises has been completed, and is here given to the public for the (first time. It will be found to foilate the usual lines, but to include some features that will prowe'of more than ordinary interest.

Much interest is manifested in Mill- •dgevilie ov» r the musical festival which will be held in Augusta next Monday and Tuesday. The greatest musicians in the country have been en gaged for the occasion and quite u dele gation will probnblv go from here to •ttwod tha festival. Above Appears the likeneswof Reed Miller, who will be one of the star attractions. t Dr. Carl Ingram, of Eatonton, was a visitor in Milledgeville for a few hourb Wednesday. G. M. C. BASEBALI TEAM WON OUT E Women Missionary Workers Are Here By Scare of Six In Tl rec First Cay’s Game Was Clr.ched And Second Resulted In a Tie. With a great deal of enthusiasm manifested by the crowd present the Georgia Military college baseball team reversed last season’s outcome against Gordon Institute, wnen tho local aggre gation lost out. Monday ufterncon Dick Stembridge in the box proved a puzzle to the visitors and the score at the end of tho game stood 6 to 3 in favor of the home boys. Reynolds was be hind the bat for the G. M. C. boys. The playing of tho visitors was altight, but they found it necessary to change pitchers Monday, the batteries being Hutchinson, McWhorter and Smith. Tuesday the crowd present was virtually as large as on M onday and in terest in the game was no less marked. In a ten inning game tho score was tied and called out on account of dark ness. The batteries for Tuesday were Ellison and Reynolds for the home team and Mercer, McWhorter and Smith for Gordon Institute. Tho pitching of Stembridge and Ellison was all that could be desired and with the exception of one or two costly errois tne G. M. C. team played big league ball. Bowdoin and Harris played in star fashion throughout, except for ono throw by Bowdoin to third in an attend ed double play. Tho G. M. C. team will play in Barneeville next Tuesday and Wednes day and it is quite safe to predict that they willlhold their own against any odds the Gordon Institute aggregation can get together even in their home town. Foreign Missionary Conference In Session and Will Continue Until Next Tuesday.

The splendid work of the I o c a 1 team', tne conscientoius effort they have put forth undoubtedly deserves the commendation of every cittjen of the city and thu season ought to bo the best ever experienced by a Milledge- ville baseball team. the most popular feature of the com mencement. The Juniors have called to their as aistance certain members of the famous G. M. C. Playors’ Club and will present in honor of the graduating class, a dramatic bill that will make the com mencement or 1909 memorable in college annals. As q “Curtain Raiser” the Juniors have selected a dainty little comedy founded upon tho college joke played i upon the "Spying Professor,” which has become a tradition in every uni versity and college in the world.

The "Curtain Raiser” is to be follow ed by a more ambitious, up-to-date comedy in three acts, bearing the alliterative title of “Men, Maids, and Matchmakers.” played by Misses Ruby Jones, Helen Maxwell, Annie Bethune and Katie Cline in the female roles; with Messrs. George Richard, Joseph Duke, Eben Reynolds, and Guy Cum mings as the male cast. This play is full of actionand abounds in ridiculous situations. It is just the piece for a commencement occasion and a commencement audience. The voung ladies who will carry the several roles have all starred in the plays given by the Player* Club and are great favorities with the public.
