Here is an ardent believer that there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will. ' A promising minister of the Gospel, whose mild manners, graceful and eloijuent deli -ery. will sway audiences gathered together from the highways and hedges, hamlets and cities. Self-confident, enterprising, with the hermit ' s love for seclusion and the devotion of a great man to his duties, he promises us that old age shall not find him like the belated virgins, nor o ' er eager to accomplish the impossible. Content with the present only when it gi ' es promise of a better future, he seems to the stranger, eccentric and cranky; but to those who know him liest, he prn es himself an unassuming gentleman, Joseph Buren Clayton TRAXSVLVAXIA COUNTY, N.

Henry Clay. Since being with us, he has made rapid strides in his college work, completing his course in two years. While with us, he has justly won the name of Socrates, for one of his greatest ambitions is to make a research in the realms of Greek Literature. In the Latin language he is a wonder, and some day, no doubt, will equal Caesar in versatility. He is quiet and rarely speaks, and when he does, it is often in Greek or Latin, and if in English, it is C( mcerning the little damsels out in ' ' old Kentucky. ' ' In fact, in scholarship, he stands in the foremost ranks, and some day, will carve fur himself a name .r lion-.r out of the problems of life. Percy Vann Critcher, B. A.
