The New President of Winder Public School. Prof. Henry R. Hunt has been elected president of our city school tor the next year which begins with the fall term. He comes to us very highly recommend ed as a teacher and gentlemau in every resject. Prof Hunt is a native of our state and an honor graduate of the State University. He comes to us not a9 anew man, but one of experience, haveng been connected with Jackson Institute, in butts county, lor the past three years. We believe the school will continue to build up under his management and become one of the leading educational centers of the state, There is no healthier locution for a school than Winder and we see no reason whv we should not have a school here of fifty or a hundred boarders. In order for any school to succeed there must be cooperation and a united effort of the citizens. The teachers and patrons must understand one another and work in harmony. We understand that Prof. Hunt is coming to be with us sometime before school begins and get in touch with the people. Let us all uphold his hands and assist him in every way necessary and we believe he is an energetio and capable young man and we will have and must have a fine school. TEE OTHER TEACHERS. Prof. Weir, who will remain as as sistant principal of the Winder Public School has been one of the teachers for the year just closed. Prof. Weir is a native of Jackson county and has lived in the county all his life except while away at college. He is a young man of energy, exemplary morals and well qualified for any position in the school room. Sinoe his stay in our city of one year, Prof. Weir has endeared himself to our people by his dignified and couv teous bearing and his close application to his duties. His election to this po sition will give universal satisfaction and a bright future is predicted for him in his chosen profession. Miss Dora Wilhite needs no iatroduo tion to oar people, having taught here one year. She was unanimously elec ted last Saturday and we feel confident will sustain her record in the past. She has few equals in the primary de partment of any school, and under her managment parents may rest assured that every thing will be done to develop the minds of the little ones. We con sider this the most important grade in the school and many educated and qual ified teachers in other departments are not fitted to fill it satisfactorily. Miss Dora has already demonstrated ner abil ity to fill it and her selection was a good one. Ordinary Bradbury was in the city today. He says the small-pox cases are all getting on nicely and he is doing every thing in his power to prevent it spreading. Girls Should Propose New York, June B.—Dr. Hartland Law of San Francisco lectured before au au dience of invited guests many of whom belong to woman’s clubs at Berkley lyceum. His subject was Higher Phys ical Conditions and his chief references were to women. “I hope to see the day,” he said, “when a woman sha’l be free to ask the man she loves to become her husband, as a man is free to ask the woman he loves to become his wife. A woman should be able and wise to choose the father of her children, and it shall be no social of fence for her to seek in marriage as well as to give herself in marri age.’ ’ “Among the Ozarks.” The Land of Big Red Apples, is an attractive and interesting book, with views of South Missouri scenery. It pertains to fruit-raising in that great fruit belt of America, the southern slope of the Ozarks, and is of interest to fruit-growers and to every farmer and homeseeker looking for a farm and a home. Mailed free. Address, J. E. Lockwood, Kansas City, Mo. What Fur. I’ve got a letter, parson, from my son away out west. An, my 01, heart is heavy as an anvil in my bresfc To think the boy whose futur I had once so proudly planned Should wonder from the path o’right au come to sich au end! I tol' him when he loft us only three short years ago He’d find himself a-plowiu’ in a mighty crooked row, He’d miss his father’s counsels an’ his mother’s prayers, too; But he said the farm was hateful an’ he guessed he’d have to go. I know thar’s big temptation fur a youngster in the west But I believed our Billy had the courage to resist, An’ wheu he left I warned him of the ever waitiu’ snares That lie like hidden serpints in life’s pathway everywheres; But Bill he promised faithful to be keer ful, an allowed He’d bnild up a reputation that’d make us mighty proud. But it seems as how my counsel sort o’ faded from his mind, An’ now he’s got in trouble of the very wustest kind! His letters came so seldom that I some how sort o’ knowd That Billy was a tranpin’ on a mighty rocky road; But never once imagined he would bow my head in shame An’ in the dust’d waller his ol' daddy’s honored name. He writes from oat in Denver, an’ the story’s mighty short; I jest can’t tell his mother— it’ll crush her poor ol’ heart! An’ so I reckoned, parson, yon might break the news to her— Bill’s in the legislature’, but he doesn’t say what fnr! Morgan’s Sawdust. The trust doseu’t.trust in God. The gossipper is the devil’s swill car rier. The golden rule is as old as the world. The trust is provoking a great deal of distrust. The finest churches have the fewest Christians. Partisan politics is the devil’s most effective firebrand. Fanatical partisanship is political ig norance gone mad. j 4 Christianity is not a creed; it is a grand uplifting principle. Idlers are usually gossippers, and gos sippers are always liars. The poor man is willing to di vide his poverty with the rich man. Machine politics is sending the country to the demnition bow wows. And now the question is, “what did President McKinley put on Tom Reed?” We should neither condemn nor ap prove a thing simply because somebody else does. You needn't lose any sleep about “giv ing the devil his due,” He’s a mighty good collector. The combines get the money, the politicians get the office, and the devil will get the whole shootin, match. I never could believe that Providence had sent a few men into the world ready booted and spurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden. -Richard Rumbold, on the scaffold, 1685. We owe all that we have to the steady advace of the human race against the compact mass of those who have always cried out and still cry out as lustily as ever,“Don’t disturb fhe existing order of other things.”—William F.

Up country folks and down country folks need a shake up at least once a year. The shake up might as well come Fourth of July as any other day. Mountain folks need a dash of seaside and seaside folks need that peculiar something called “mountain air.” Fourth of July is kind of a jolly affair auywow Everybody moves somewhere. The query, is w here to go? The answer is found in a glance at the Seaboard Air Line system. From the waters of the Chesapeake to the crags and deep trout pools of the Blue Ridge. This railroad will put on sale tickets purchasable of any agent, Jujy 2nd, 3rd aud 4th and good to return on or before July 7th, at one and one third fares for the round trip. Plenty of people will be going, but such ample accommodation will be provided that there will be plenty of room for the children—for the whole family. There will be no struggle nor exhaustion incident upon crowding for those who take their Fourth of July outing by the Seaboard Air Line. Rememder, the Fourth of July comes but once a year. It will never do to miss the onting. The Klondike of Missouri. Is the title of a neat pamphlet issued by the Passenger Department of tne Kan sas City, Fort Soott & Memphis Rail road Company.

In the midst of one of his impa sioned speaohes years ago, daring the “Know Nothing" campaign, the late Henry A. Wise formerly Governor of Virginia and perhaps its most eloquent orator stretch ed himself to his full height and exclaim ed: ‘Those mountains which lift their hands to milk the clouds. ” The old chap was without doubt referring to Chimney Rock. His index finger was pointing di rectly at Chimney Rock. Henry A. Wise is dead, but Chemney Rock still lives. Henry A Wise is immortal. So is Chim ney Rock. Chimney Rock.is one of the boldest of American crags. The Sea board Air Liue will take you there* It is only seventeen miles beyond Ruther fordtou. Railroad ticketsgood over the stage line. The ride is one of phenom enal grandeur. The iuus are set cozily in the recesses of the wild mountain range. One dollar to two dollars per day. The beds are clean. The fool is plenti ful and toothsome. The pools are solitary and cool and glistening with speckled trout The leafage of the steeps is a ceaseless study and solace and stimu lant The summer thermometer does light duty, having a“boat’’ of only from from dO to 81. This means deep sleep by night and long climbing walks by day. Everybody wants to walk. But Honry A. Wise said it all. Summer trur ist rates from all parts of North Caroli na.
