Examinations are here. Truly “man was made to mourn.”

It is reported that the Trinity Commercial Bank has “busted” again. However, there have been no excursions to Canada yet.

The Trinity lawyers are having considerable practice now, in these “evil days.”

“Benny” says he had a good time with his girl at Thomasville. He had permission to go on business, and he went.

We have one Senior who—Well, we don’t know whether he will share his commencement honors with some one else or not; but, if there is any sign in noonday-dreams and long strolls, we th-th-think he w-will.
