The Constitution, Atlanta, GA
North Georgia Boys Will Make Great Showing in Atlanta Friday Night.
The oratorical contest which occurs at the Grand Friday night will be one of 
the biggest events of the year in Atlanta.  It is very probable that more 
college boys and girls will be in the city at that time than have ever been in 
Atlanta before at one time.

Each of the colleges which are members of the state association will be well 
represented both on the stage and in the crowd of supporters who will come 
along to cheer the champion.  All details of the contest have now been 
arranged, and everything is now ready for the struggle.

The boys from the North Georgia Agricultural college have been handicapped in 
former contests by the fact that the college is located in such a remote 
district, but they propose to make a great showing this year.  It is a 
peculiar fact that in each of the four contests held this college has won 
third place.  They [sic] boys have now changed their colors to white and blue, 
and with the change of colors they expect a change of luck.

The boxes will be elaborately decorated with the college colors, and will be 
occupied by President J. S. Stewart, several members of the faculty and a 
number of prominent Georgia military men who are graduates of the college.

Noel W. Grant, who will represent North Georgia, has already reached the city, 
and is now grooming himself for the contest.  On the day of the event the boys 
will come down 100 strong.  They will have headquarters at the Majestic.
