Chappell Hill refused to take
'what was coming to them in the
shape of U. S. mail yesterday,
and the pouch was dumped at
this place.

If you want care and attention
when you are sick, announce the
Ziext time you don't feel well that
.you are just from the yellow fever
district. You will figure more

It is high time the foolishness
were brought to a stop.
There is a reaction observable
in this fool scare over a hard

professional amusements might

It is well known that there are
several ladies and gentlemen in
the city who have talents that
compare favorably with leading
histrionic essayists, and if their
names we're connected with a
cast, success would be assured
from the start.
The Second Regiment band
has inaugurated weekly con
certs on the square, but it is im
possible for ladies to enjoy them
owing to an absence of seats vor
benches. The informal hops at
the Athletic Hall are therefore
the only amusements to be re
corded every week.
