Among; the many institutions of which Thomasville boasts, there Is none perhaps for which a deeper pride is felt than for Young’s Female College. This pride Is based first upon the fact that the Institution was endowed and established by a citizen of Thomas county, the late Re mer E. Young. It has behind it un der the able administration of John E. Baker, a.past which will ever shed its lustre upon him and the city a a well, and with the influence of strong young blood it is rising, Phoenix-like from its temporary ashes and prov ing daily that In the New South, ed ucation of the highest type is nof despised but sought after. Within the past twelve months an administration building has been erected, which for classic beauty and perfect adaptability to the purposes for which it was destined Is unex celled In the entire South. The dor mitory has been enlarged and refur nished, a gymnasium and sonnel is a guarantee of the sound ness of the learning and the genuine ness of the culture within the grasp of the student body. Outside interest and influence has now been thoroughly enlisted and It is predicted and with' reason that within the near future the strongest and broadest college for girls in the entire South will be Young's.

DIXON. .Successful, Progressive and T’|>-to- Date Grocer, Doing an Extensive Brokerage and Commission as Well as Retail Business. Tho grocer is in business for two purposes; first, to build a substantial and creditable business; second, to make a profit. The first of thesp pur poses Is contributed to by many In fluences, hut priclpally by handling the purest and best goods. The sec ond Is a result of hard work, a fair selling nrfee, and satisfied customers. The retail grocer occupies a posi tion of responsibility and confidence which is almost a position of trust. To him come the women of-ihe hound hold, the mothers of families, the children. The grocer has'few deal ings with the men, hut always with tbe women, who spend the earnings of the household, who supply the family food, who care for tho sick, and who save whatever is-saved for the family bank account. These wcgqen and children are not chem ists; they have small means for de termining the actual value of articles food and they are the ones most readily Imposed upon, and also the ones who have tho most vital Inter est In. getting pure goods and tbe worth of their money. Between these women of American households on tho one hand and the army of un scrupulous manufacturers of cheap substitutes and adulterations on the other stands tbe retail grocer. These considerations show the reason which the grocer has for knowing 'about pure foods on his- own account for the permanency of his business, for its expected profit for the health and welfare of his customers, and to dis charge bis own responsibilities. Recognising these facts as the key to success In the grocery business and by close attention to all the details of his business and. plenty of hard work J. T. Dixon has firmly estab lished a retail grocery business which is a credit to, the city. Mr, Dixon started In the grocery business In Thomasville five, years ago' and has made a decided suc cess.
