Dixon of Gainesville, was elected President of the Board of Trus tees of the State Lunatic Asylum at a meeting held last week. This was quite a compliment to him, and one duly appreciated and deserved. Dr. Dixon has been a member of the board for two years, and in that time his ability and fitness for the position has been fully demonstrated, hence his unanimous election last week. It was a neat little honor worthilv bestowed. At The Methodist Church. Rev. M. L. Underwood, presiding elder of the Gainesville district, preached at the First Methodist church last Sunday morning.

For January and February AT THE NEW STORE Seminary News Notes.—Personal and Otherwise. Prof. Van Hoose spent Sunday in Macon visiting his sisters, Mrs. Polhitl and Mrs. Glover. Prof. Wallace and his assistants are preparing a pupil’s recital for Tuesday evening, February 1st. No admission will be charged and we hope that a large crowd will hear the girls. Misses Maude and Myrtice Crawford gladdened the hearts of their many friends by returning to the Seminary last Tuesday. They have had sickness at home or would have returned earlier. We are glad to welcome Misses Daisy and Nellie Dwelle of Cartersville, into our midst this week. They are bright girls and will doubtless make a fine record during their stay at the Semi nary. And Miss Mattie Eberhart, who had to leave us last spring before com mencement. and who was a general favorite in school, returned to us on Tuesday last. Everybody was glad to see her. We are glad to see Dr. Bailey back from his trip to Kentucky. Always cheerful, always kind and encouraging in times of sickness, the Seminary girls look upon him as a father and alwa3 T s miss him when absent from the city. What would we do without him? Seminary girls as a general thing are too busy to pay much attention to pol itics, but we are glad to know that Georgia is to return to the good old days and have an old time administra tion of public affairs. Ring methods will vanish with Allen Candler at the helm. The “Deestriet Schule” meets two or three times a week for rehearsal. Judge Estes is the teacher. Dr. Winburn," Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bell and other friends have taken this matter in charge and will make a big success of it. They are going to devote the proceeds to the library. Surely the Seminary has friends in Gainesville, and if we con tinue to work along these lines, Gaines ville will soon have a library equal to Atlanta. We regret that rain prevented the obseryance of Lee's birthday by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Whj not make a combination of Lee and Washington and observe both on Feb ruary 22nd. These men stood for the same great principles; they were both southerners; they both illustrated American manhood in its highest type and we should delight to honor them. What say the Daughters to a Washing ton-Lee celebration on Feb. 22nd. The book reception was a big success. Many friends came to spend the even ing with us and nearly one hundred new and beautiful volumes were added to our library. Mrs. Bloomstin and Miss Merritt and the Junior Class are entitled to a vote of thanks not only from the girls who are here now, but from those who will be here in suc ceeding years. Court was in session and we missed several friends who al ways honor us with their presence. Judge Estes and wife, so regular in their attendance at every Seminary en tertainment, that their absence is al ways noted and especially regretted. We thank all who came for the books contributed and the many who could not come but remembered the library by sending books. J. E. MURPHY CO., \ .
