The Growth of Hendrix College.
Special to Independent.
Conway, April 5.—As Hendrix
College is developing so rapidly
and as so many old Henurix stu
dents and friends live in my
county, I am sending t.iis letter
to vou, presuming its publication
will interest many of the readers
of your excellent paper.
. “Greater Hendrix” is in the
air. Many events make this the
most notable year jn the history
of the college. It dates the be
ginning of a new administra
tion, that of Dr. Reynolds, w’hich
starts off with bright pros
pects. The enrollment of this
year has greatly exceeded that
of any previous year, there be
ing now 265. The graduating
class is the largest in the his
tory of the college. Seventeen
young men and women will take
the B. A. degree in June. This
year is also marked by the com
ing of a new' coach, W. M. Hen
drick. He has placed athletics
on a high plane. Our football
team defeated the University of
Misssissippi and our basketball
boys w'on the state champion
ship. The college is now^ sched
uling games wuth the best col
leges in the southwest.
Perhaps the most notable e
vent of the year is the closing
out in full of the $300,000 en
dowment, thus placing Hendrix
among the best endowed colleges
of the South. A few days ago
President Reynolds received
from the General Education
Board of New York City a
check for $35,000, the last re
mittance on the Board’s gift to
the college of $75,000. The
greater Hendrix spirit is mani
fest among the alumni of the
college for they are building on
the campus a handsome resid
ence for the president at a cost
of $15,000.
The Bull Dog, the college news
paper, made its first appearance
last October and it at once took
rank with the best college news
papers of the South,
The senior class have caught
the pep, for they are erecting
at a cost of $550 a handsome
stone entrance and gate at the
entrance of the college campus.
Hie faculty is thoroughly pro
gressive. Prof. Winfrey of the
Modern Language Department
spent last year in German and
French universities in graduate
study. Prof. Staples of the His
Lory department next year win
3o graduate work at Columbia
University, and Prof. Wilson of
the Department of Mathematics
will spend the summer in the U
niversity of Chicago.
A comprehensive building plan
>f the college has been prepared
by a Chicago landscape archi
tect and it is proposed at an
?arly date to erect two or three
new buildings. A college band
and orchestra organized this
pear is adding new life to Hen
3rix.
From this brief narrative yoil
will see that the enthusiasm of
the student is justified. Hen
irix it a high grade college and
ner faculty, students and friends
ire working as a unit to develop
n Arkansas one of the greatest
:olleges of the country.
More anon.
Yours truly,
James H. Davis.
Humility First
We shall never be the "light of the
world” exoept on condition of being
the “salt of the earth” You have to
do the humble. Inconspicuous, silent
work of checking corruption by a pure
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light into
the darkness, and so drawing men to
Christ himself.—Alexander McLaren.

Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught

les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms ol
stomach trouble, and should be given the j
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your

To get quick and permanent relief!
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit

treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sals
