Martin, W. H. Huni and R. '. Wright. Following is the plan of the lyceum: We the undersigned committee oi seven unite for the formation cf t.he Newberry College Lyceum, whose aims and methods shall be substanti ally as follows: To bring the town and college ol Newberry into closer relationship for the purpose of mutual benefit. To conduct, with this motive ir view, a lyceum at the college each season, whereby both -citizens and students shall be supplied with thor oughly high-grade entertainment at less cost than either could accomplish alone. By uniting with the inter-cn.Iegiate movement-embracing Clemson, Win throp, Wofford, Furman, and New berry-to secure first class lectures ai a reduction from the ordinary prices. By .the use of a well-lighted and comfortable hall to avoid the expense of rent. By providing the actual cost of the course through a sale of season tickets at four dollars for Ewo seats, so that students may be admitted at reduced rates. By applying the profits, if any, tc furnishing the assembly hall and ir im*proving the lyceum in future. The committee have not settled def initely yet upon the list of attractions, but will do so soon. The first attrac tion will be about the middle of Oc tober. Last year, at the beginning, there was some objection to the place of the entertainment, because if its distance but after it was found how much bet ter the college auditorium was than the opera house-perfectly .heated and comfortable in every respect-it wai conceded that the place was well chosen. The entertainments will all begin promply at 8:30, and no one will be admitted at any concert entertainmeni during the rendering of a number on the program, the object of this being to secure prompt attendance and avoid interruptions. The members of 'the committee will start out within t.h.e next few days te get subscribers to the lyceum course. The price of a double ticket is four dollars and of a single ticket two Persons not members of the lyceuff will be charged 75 cents :to each en tertainment.

Wherea- the Great and Supreme Ruler of the universe has in His in finite wisdom seen fit to call from this sinful world to mansions not made wich hands our much esteemed friend, John Jacob Derrick, who was accidentally shot w.h.ile 6n his way to perform every day. duties, August 21, 1905 Being of Christian parents he was dedicated to God in infancy by bap tism and in early life took up his baptismal vows and united himself with Macedonia E. L. church of which Sunday school he had been a member since a mere child. The long and intimate relation held with him makes ic eminently be fitting that we come with bowed heads and sad hearts making our fee ble effort to show respect to hi# whose vacant place cannot be filled and whose smiling countenance we so much miss. Yes, how shall we re place his presence at all places. The very lustre of his eye but marked the loving deeds of kindness stored in his heart only awaiting an opportun ity to make themselves known. The hearts of.not only the immediate fam ily have been saddened but those of a very large circle of friends have been made to ache. 'Tis hard, so hard, to see one so near and dear and one so young and vigorous snatched up in the jaws of death, but let us be consoled -for we have every reason to believe that our loss is his gain. Can we not like Job of old, say "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. "Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low. Thou no more wilt join our number Thou no more our songs shalt know. "Yet again we hope to meec thee When the day of life is fled. Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed." . Allen Epting, Anna Derrick, . . Pressly Derrick, Nannie Epting, Comthittee.
