Tennis games are still being enjoy! ed between the students and teachers, [ as well as by the visiting players. Prof. J. C. Guilds spent the weekend at Barnwell. We have had several visitors at the school lately and ask them to come back with others. We are always glad to have them visit us and see what we are doing. Cadet Rhett H. Ott spent the weekend at home with Cadet C. E. Yongue in Barnwell. Mr. M. W. Brabham paid the Kilgo Literary Society a visit Saturday night. Owing to the grip and colds among the students the program was not as good^ as it should have been. But Mr. Braonam s presence was very much enjoyed. It made us feel like that there are some men in Bamberg that cared and felt an interest in the work we are doing. He also made us a talk, in which he stated that it had been about seven years since he had been to the K. L. S. His talk was not a flowery speech of oratory with blooming remarks, but he told the members some true facts and gave them some good sound advice, which faas very much appreciated. We are always glad to have the old members call on us at any time. Prof. J. C. Guilds made a very good and thoughtful talk at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last Thursday night. - Cadet. School Mass fleeting. The mass meeting, to consider ways and means to raise the balance of the money necessary to rebuild the Bamberg graded school building, was held in the court house last Monday afternoon. It was found after consultation that a meeting of the taxpayers of the district could be held now instead of in June to fix the levy for next/year, and this will 'be done. The meeting will be held in the court house Monday afternoon, February 10th, and the notice will be found in another column. Those present at the mass meeting seemed to favor this plan of raising the money instead of asking our representatives in the legislature to have a special act passed. i Hemstreet the Hypnotist a Marvel The biggest laugh Macon has let I loose for a long time was heard at j the opera house last night when four hundred people roared at the hypnotic performance of Prof. Hemstreet. i He had a number of our best citizens on the stage and had them thoroughJ ly hypnotized, and the funny things he had them do were convulsing to the audience. It is impossible to particularize, sufficient it is to say, that it was as funny as a dozen comedians with a circus thrown in. Many who saw ttye demonstration last night laughed so much they are almost sick today. The time has gone by when intelligent people cry fake over such power as he possesses and his entertainment affords a pleasing variation from the general run of theatrical performances and one can attend them and enjoy a hearty laugh. The Professor will give his last performance tonight and those who were not present last night should not miss a wonderful exhibition as some of our best people havo promised, to be hypnotized and the audience is sure to get its moneys worth, ^dacon; Ga., Times.

The report of the auditing committee showed a balance in the treasury of $988.75, which shows that the lodge is in fine shape. Some of this, however, will be spent in the next few weeks for new regalia, in fact the regalia has been ordered. Chancellor Commander Fowler has started off well. The rank of Page was conferred upon two candidates Monday evening, and three more applications are now in hands of committees. The outlook for this year is very bright, and if the officers will support the Chancellor Commander as they should, this will be the great est year in ryuimu caicac? wat town has ever known. The lodge will hereafter be opened promptly at seven o'clock, which is the regular hour for meeting, so the, members will please be prompt. I James Adams Big Show. The James Adams big ten cents society vaudeville theatre will come come to Bamberg for one week, February 10th to 15th. They show under canvas. A whole week of amusement is assured the theatre loving public of Bamberg. The reputation of the James Adams Co. is assurance that it is of a high order.

When the tower of the Metropolitan Life building in Madison Square is completed, New York will have what undoubtedly will be the largest clock in the? world. That distinction has belonged for many years to "Big Ben" in Westminister Abbey, London, the dial of which is twenty-two and one-half feet in diameter, while that of the Metropolitan building clock will be twenty-five. It will be a clock suitable in every way to be a part of the tallest permanent structure in the world, as the new tower will be. The tower will be forty-eight stories, 638 feet above the street, and the clock will occupy a part of the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh floors. The middle of the dial will be 346 feet above the street. Notwithstanding the fact that the dial will be a little mere than half way between the street and the top of the tower, it will be far above the surrounding buildings. It will be fifty feet higher than the Flatiron building. The immense size of the clock will make it easy to tell the time from a great distance. The letters on the dial will be four feet high, and the hands will be twelve feet long.? New York Herald. Colston Callings. Colston, Jan. 28.?We had some vorv windv weather for the Dast few days.
