thunder. The bride shrieked, and the other ladies did likewise, and several

A Word of Explanation

We wish to offer an apology for the appearance of the paper this week. The office is crowded with job work and type setting was not begun on the paper until Wednesday when ALEX BIVENS, one of our fastest type setters, was taken sick and has not been able to work any since, and yesterday, H. T MERRITT, our foreman, on account of illness, was not at the office. As a consequence, we failed to have the labor necessary to get up the usual matter, and it was only through the kindness of PROF. MCDOUGLE, who granted us the use of the Normalite matter, that we were able to come out on time.

The Reunion

There was a very pleasant gathering of young people at the university last Saturday night to attend the last reunion of this school year. After spending a short time in social conversation, a very interesting program was executed. A feature of special interest was the singing of MISS DELANY WHITE of Jackson, the accomplished daughter of A. C. WHITE, who is spending the summer here, which was very highly appreciated. She has a lovely voice with excellent control�
