that greets the gaze of the visi

cided improvement on those of
?? other-yean. There seems to be,
on the whole, a more intelligent
looking crowd of gentlemen
teachers and as for the ladies
tbey are recipients of many com
pliments, and we doubt , if the
' cultured gentlemen who are in
structing, ever stood before u
prettier crowd or school ma'ams.
The enrollment has reached
about two hundred and thirty,
aid the order and prompt at
tendance is deserving of. special
mention.
Prof. Corbly kindly consented
to look.after the .music for the
1 session and with the aid of Miss
Bertie Faugh and Miss Maggie
Primm, this feature has been ex
cellent. Messrs. Charles Hol

from the most indifferent list
kener. His theories are practical
' and his plans decldedly^logical.
Prof/WllEnson is one ol our
own Harrison boys who has risen
to prominence in educational
workin West Virginia. He never
talks "just to be talking" but has
given some very instructive lec
tures during the session.
' Prof. L. J. Corjjly entertained

jupon several other days In a
^manner commensurate with his
scholarly attainments and pro
fessional skill. We cannot take

Mr. Edison Hates a Telephone.
"What makes you work?" I
asked with real curiosity. "What
impels you to this constant, tire
less struggle? You have shown
that you care comparatively noth
ing for the money it makes you
and you have no particular en
thusiasm in the attending fame."
"I like it," he answered, after
a moment of puzzled expression,
and then he repeated his reply
several times as if mine was a
proposition that had not occured
to him before. "I like it. Idont
know any other reason. You
know some people like to collect
stamps. Anything I have begun
is always on my mind, and I am
not easy while away from it un
til it is finished. And then I hate
it"
"Hate it?" I asked, struck by
his emphatic tones.
??Yes,'' he affirmed, '-when it is
all done and is a success, I can't
bear the sight of it I havn't
used a telephone in ten years,and
I would go out of my way any
day to miss an incandesoent
light''? From S. D. Lanier*?

after the unfortunate affair, "and
having endorsed for th'e' yr "

is gone and that there has been
crookedness in his dealings is
not denied by either his father
or Brother, who are overwhelmed
with mortification and grief and'
can throw no light upon the
young man's disappearance. The
board of directors of the college
have been making some arrange- J
ments as to the future of the
school, but no definite plans ha ve
i- been matured.
Many of the losers are not )
mentioned in the above report,
among whom are M. A. Nus

and getting up banquet,) Miss
Bertie Paugh, C.H. Bartlett, Lon
Davidson, Prof. Bucbanon White
and Prof. Atha, salaries for
leaching. No ono has been able
to venture an opinion as to where
Mr. Davis went, and while it is
presumed that he left on Thurs
day night no person saw him
board the train.
One of his most brilliant ex
ploits was. his pretended pur .
chase of Broaddus .College,
(which the Telegram positively
denied) and the attempt to sell
stock to raise the necessary
funds: It is impossible to esti
mate the amount of money he
took with him.
