YOUNG LADIES BOARDING Mrs. K. J. Cornforth, whose home is within two hundred yards of the college building will receive six or eight young ladies. Mrs. S. E. Hopwood will take special charge of about the same number, in those rooms nearest the old Institute. At either place we insure the kindest and most cheerful care of those given into their charge. LOCALS The Milligan Mills are stopping the importation of fine flour. They make it at home. We notice N. T. Williams shipping flour almost daily, along the Cranberry railway line. The wheat crop of upper East Tenn. Is of the finest quality raised for years. The yield is excellent. Mrs. Sue Buck, wife of D. T. Buck, leaves Milligan today for her home in Chattanooga. We hope the few weeks passed here with parents and friends will afford pleasant memories. Prof. Epps is paying us a visit. He looks well and strong, and will be ready Sept. 4th to introduce students to Greek and Roman worthies. Prof. Tate has returned from a seven weeks canvassing and lecturing tour in Va., built up in hope and health. He makes a good report. Prof. W. A. Kite, the industrious man and mathematician, has organized a Civil Engineering Course. Send for his circular.—His summer visit took in Roanoake College, the Military Institute, Washington-Lee and Va. Universities. We are glad to see the work progressing on Elder Samuel Shelburne's new residence. We like its inside convenience. We need more houses built about Milligan. Who wants a building site? Families of good sound morals are invited to come and live with us. We will try to do you good. We have passed over many thousands of miles of R. R. but never rode along any line of 32 miles which afforded such a variety of natural scenes and beauties as on the E. T. & W. N. C. road from Johnson City to Cranberry. We believe the time is near when great numbers of people will pass their summers along this line and on the Roan Mountain. So Miss Venia Crockett is married. We do not know Mr. Berry but hear good reports from Johnson co, his home. Dear Venia, the school days of your gentle but ambitious spirit have passed. They were happy to you and to your teachers. We will miss your cheerful face in school, and Sunday-school, and church, and home. May your beautiful Christian character be the nucleus of a new work for God, and may his richest blessings attend you both. WHAT SHALL WE WEAR! A. S. Gump, C. M. Barr—Proprietors, Johnson City, Tenn.
