this section of Georgia in several years
is that of the auction of the Harper

Mr. J. O. Blood worth managing the
sale for the owners, Bloodworth, Hall
and Day. Ovei 50 lots will be included
in the sale and <>ne of the finest auc
tioneers in the county will conduct the
sale.
The fact that a new $130,000 building
is virtually assured for the state sani
tarium and an increased maintenance
fund amounting to a total of over $640,-
! OJO, or an increase of over (200,000 an

ceive the support asked. This is un
doubtedly conclusive evidence of the
tremendous advantages of buying in
the territory in question. The proper

section.
The auction will be held next Monday
afternoon at 2 o’clock and everybody is
iavited. The full announcement and

SCENE Of MIGHTY FRAY
"The noble six hundred” Georgia
girls -and the quotation marks should
be omitted—of the Georgia Normal and
industrial College met last Saturday in
one wild fight for honors at the annual
field day exercises of the institution.
And they were all there, at least it
sounded that way. and there were one
or two present whose blast upon their
bugle horns "were worth a thousand
girls," much less just a miserly “s|x
hundred.”
From the scientific standpoint the
basket ball teams played remarkably
well and from non-partisan spectators
received cheers of a demonstrative na
Jure The score was:
Seniors 1, juniors 8,
Sophs 10, Freshman 3.
The decisive game between the win
ning team! resu.ted in:
Juniors 4. Sophs 10.
The Junior Class retaliated bv win
ning the potato race and followed it up
by winning the basket ball relay. The
running relay went to Miss Mattie Ed
wards of the Freshmen. The 50-yard
dash was won by Miss Ruth Jones, of
Sophs. The banner prize went to the
Sophs and the cup to the Juniors.

Pres. Wm. E. Reynolds
Re-Elected to Place
Board of Trustees ol G. M. €. Held
Important Meetings During Week
And Many Improvements Planned.
Pres. Wm. E. Reynolds, of the Geor
gia Military College, was re-elected to
his position for the next term at a meet
ing of the board of trustees held last
Monday night. The honor conferred
upon the eminent educator is well de
served in the opinion of those who are
close to the real situation. For over a
score of years Mr. Reynolds has been
head of the institution.
During the coming term many im
provements are planned and full co
operation is planned and promised
throughout. The college has been con
sidered hampered in some respects,
mostly by lack of financial suppoit, but
| many of these shortcomings will be
• overcome and a new era of progressive-
ness will characterize the history of
I the college in the future.
The election of the teachers to fill
various other places in the college will
be taken up from time to time by the
trustees meetings to be held in the im
mediate future.
Dr. L. P. Longino, one of the popu
lar physicains at the State Sanitarium
has resigned his position at that institu
tion and will leave the first of June for
Atlanta where he will take up his per-
fession in partnership with his uncle in
that city.
Dr. Longino has made quite a num
ber of friends in MiUedgeville during
his stay at the sanitarium, who regret
very much his departure from this com
munity.

ep $130,003 is asked for to properly
construct and equip a hospital for their
treatment. It is urged that such a

now and more heln is required there.
