Sims, of the Cherokee Normal anf Industrial Institute, has the matter in charge. Prof. Sims is very anxious that Gaffney should acquit herself well on this occasion, therefore he seeks the co-operation of the white people in his efforts to make this a red letter occasion for his people. Those of our citizens who are not ac quainted with Prof. Sims need not hesitate to encourage him. The Led ger can speak from a two or three years acquaintance, during which time we have found him to be honest, upright and earnest, without offen siveness toward anyone.

Full of fact, philosophy and fun. but above all a Rood story, dramatic and absorbing. The school fakir, the ignorant preacher, the pompous statesman, the country camp meet ing, the Hollisville Collegiate Military Institute, Professor Jefferson MarqulnlusTllson, President, with Its drills and entertainments—the accent on the ments—are all there, with the appropriate and familiar trappings, fantastic regalia and general high mightiness, There is a beautiful love story as the real basis of the novel and a thrilling story of a gen eral awakening wrought by an ardent young school reformer. The Dark Corner Is a hook that should take its place beside "David durum,” "Mrs Wlgis" and a few other select volumes which paint contemporary life "as she Is lived." The description of certain phases of village life as depicted In •■Hollisville’’ and the pic tures drawn of the bleak and dreary life of "The Dark Corner" are as clever and sprightly as anything that has been done In Am-rlcan fiction this many a day. Thehumor of the book Is spontaneous, true to life and absolutely wholesome. The character of "Tllson" Is nothing snort of "great.”—Charlotte Observer.; Cut It. Price $1.00. For Sale by S. B.
