1 TRIBUTE TO THL li. N. I. lULLEliE.
In the Augusta Il'Tald of last Sun
day quite a tribute was paid the Georgia
Normal and Industrial (’(.liege in the
editorial columns. The following is
the article in part:
Tne Georgia Normal and Industrial
college in Milledgeville is one of the
most valuable of the state’s education
al institutions. It has been steadily
growing in favor since i's inauguration,
and it has now readied the point whore
its facilities aro sadly inadequate
to the demand made upon them. Up
wards of a thousand npplirutions for
admission for the next term had been
made prior to August 1, ami hundreds
•f these were refused for lack of ro<m.
*
Tlie disappointed ones no doubt wonder
why it is that they should have been the
losers, nnd mny have unkind feelings
fbr the college authorities. If such
« the case this would be unjust. The
a In issinns ure regulated by law, and
whenever there are more applicants
thtn there is room to take, there aro
rules which govern the selection.
After enumerating the rules and regu
lations governing the admission of
sUnlents the Herald said in conclusion:
This condition of overcrowding is apt

After a long and useful life Mr. Sarah
J. Scoggins was claimed by the angel
of death last Saturday. She was born
in Putnam county 74 years ago and in
1847 she was married to Joseph Scog
gins, who preceded her into the great
beyond five years ago.
Mrs. Scoggins was a member of the
Baptist church and the funeral took
place from the residence of her nephew
John Scoggins and the Interment was
in the old Robinson burial ground on
the Mitlledgevil'.e and Monticello road.
With no children of her own she cared
for others tenderly and tho servants,
even the fowls and animals around the
homo knew of her kindness of heart.
She was buried beside her mother and
many were the friends who were pre
sent t« see her laid to her las* rest.
To the relatives sincero sympathy is
extended.
