OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR
REYNOLDS COLLEGE
NEW PRINCIPAL SELECTED
On September 10th, Reynolds
College will open its doors for
students for tlie fifth year's
work since its revival in 1!H>S.
More work has been done for
the school in the form of adver-
tising than ever before. The
business men and others sub-
scribed to an advertising fund
early in the summer, and the
money raised has been judicious-
ly used. Advertisements have
been carried thru the summer in
the DalL- and Galveslon Semi-
weekly Farm News, the Fort
Worth Semi-weekly Record, and
the Waco Tribune. About
bulletins have been distributed
by mail and in person, and sev-
eral hundred catalogues. Four
members of the faculty, viz; Dr.
L. B. <!ray, .1. W. Kelley, L W.
Green, and I
visited a number of towns and
communities, and. they believe,
have done some valuable work
for the school in advertising it
and securing students for next
session.
As the result of the effort
made, prospects are bright for
a larger boarding attendance
than the school has ever had be-
fore. Former students are com-
ing back, and nian\ letters and
messages from prospective stu-
dents give us much encourage-
ment for next session.
Dr. (Jray has been in commun-
ication for some time with Kev.
R. ('. Hutchison of Memphis,
position as principal. Rev.
Hutchison has recently consented
to accept the position. Altho
the Hoard of Trustees has not
formerly elected Rev. Hutchison
to this position, it is probable
that it will do so at its next
meeting. He comes highly rec-
ommended as a scholar, teacher,
and preacher.
With the election of the prin-
cipal. the teaching force of the
faculty will be complete, con-
sisting of eight men. two ladies,
with Mrs. J. I). Overton as
matron.
People of the town may know
of young people either in the
county or elsewhere, who will
attend school somewhere next
year. A word from someone
living here might encourage
them to attend Reynolds College.
Help in this way and a good
word for the school casually spo-
ken will assist much in building
up the school and making it a
material as well as an educational
benefit to the town and vicinity.

TION, SEPT. 1

ing Convention will convene at

tember. All classes of the coun-

delegations. Everybody invited.

PICNIC AT

the melor. ■ had been grown with

can produce melons of this size
is certainly rich in productive
tower.
