NEW BERN MILITARY ACADEMY
AND
CAROLINA BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The lovely city of New Bern is to be
congratulated on having in its midst
such an excellent institution of learn
ing as the New Bern Military Acade
my and Carolina Business College.
This school has come to stay. There
is already much pride and interest
manifested in it. The number of stu
dents are growing every week.
The President is Colonel S. J. Halla-
day, a gentleman of high culture, fine
education, graceful manners, and
above all, a devout Christian. His in
fluence in the school room and out of
it is power for right living. He pos
sesses in rare degree the teacher’s
instinct. Every department is under
the management of an expert.
Study well the bill of fare in each
department and send your sons and
daughters to New Bern, N. C.
Business Department.
The Carolina Business College, un
der the supervision of Major A. S.
Carson, is giving its patrons superior
advantages. The work is simple and
practical, fitting young men and wo
men to go out into the business world
as book-keepers, business managers,
stenographers and reporters. A few
months’ application, a little patience,
and you have acquired a profession
that is both lucrative and pleasant—
as the Major terms it, “an easy ‘bread-
and-meat get^r.’’
Major Carsoi\in his methods of in
struction, is fully abreast of the best
and latest principles, employing only
the most approved methods of instruc
tion. These facts account for his ex
traordinary success in business col
leges, and the strong hold he has upon
the esteem and confidence of his pa
trons. People judge by results, and
the results of his teaching have been
uniformly of the highest grade. Ma
jor Carson is not only a teacher, but
a student as well, studying the most
approved systems of book-keeping and
stenography as they are being invent
ed, thus keeping himself in touch with
all the latest moves.
The Military Department.
“A sound mind and virtuous heart
in a sound body” is the product of
true education. The Head, Heart and
Hands must be trained together in the’
right way. Such a training makes
the strong, well-rounded man. The
New Bern Military Academy, in our
opinion, is accomplishing this end
fully. Not only are the cadets re
ceiving the best training that can be
given in the way of cultivating the
mind, and having influence thrown
around them which develop the high
est and noblest manhood, but special
attention is being given to the health
of each student, and the military
training is making strong and sturdy
young men of them, physically. The
military drill puts inta* exercise all
of the principle muscles of the body,
and gives strength and dignity of car
riage to the young man, which readily
distinguishes him from his less fortu
nate companions in after life.
The fine mental discipline and the
acquirements of habits of punctuality,
neatness, obedience to superiors, faith
fulness to duty, and keeping of regu
lar hours under barrack regulations,
all tend to bring into activity those
faculties peculiar to the most perfect
type of manhood.
The officers of the New Bern Mili
tary Academy are experienced and
well versed in military affairs. The
cadets, under their training, are mak
ing rapid progress in this phase of
their education.
Department of Music.
Miss Lily Ford Snead, who was edu
cated at Hollins Institute, Virginia,
by special courses in New York city
and New England Conservatory, and
who has an established reputation in
Southern colleges, is a teacher of the
very first type, and has a full depart
ment of music. From the very outset
f;he has readily created a strong and
lasting impression as a thoroughly
efficient Director of Music, and a lady
of Christian character. Her students
are inspired with a love for music,
which elevates their aim to higher
ideals, and her enthusiastic manner of
teaching fires her students with a de
termination to achieve greater possi
ble success in their work. Miss Snead
easily stands as a leader among the
best musicians in the country, and
we consider those exceptionally fortu
nate who are able to come under her
teaching.
The Girls’ Dormitory.
Miss Adina Garen, graduate of
Asheville Normal College, also of Pea
body Normal College, of Nashville,
Tenn., with her long experience and
the ease with which she controls the
young ladies, make her especially
suited for the position as Lady Princi
pal. She has exclusive control of the
young ladies’ dormitory, and the girls
are at all times under her watch-care,
and everything is done for their com
fort. The Ellis building, the dormi
tory for girls, has beautiful surround
ings and all that might be conducive
to the happiness of the young ladies
is provided. Miss Garren, as instruc
tor of mathematics and English, can
not be too highly recommended.
The Preparatory Department.
Captain Smith, with his forcible and
interesting manner of teaching, is be
loved by his pupils, and he, in every
way, implants in the receptive young
minds of his pupils, those principles
which arouse a growing thirst for
knowledge, and which tend to awaken
the strongest and truest aspirations.
Captain Hardison, who is a tutor in
this department, has proven himself
a man of ability as a rising young
teacher and as a student he is a credit
to any institution.
Officers.
We feel that we cannot refrain from
making mention of the loyal cadet offi
cers, Captain Simpson and Lieutenant
S. J. Casey, and other noble young
men whose influence for good among
the other cadets and their marked
loyalty to the institution awaken for
them unstinted praise.
Loyalty of Students.
The greatest advertisement of
which any institution can boast is the
good things said in its behalf by its
students.
No school has ever had a more loyal
student-body than the New Bern Mili
tary Academy and Carolina Business
College.
They never fail to speak in highest
terms of praise of the school when
they have an opportunity, and many
others have been induced to enter by
letters from the students.
Course of Study.
The course of study given by the
New Bern Military Academy covers
a period of four years; two prepara
tory and two collegiate, enabling the
student to enter the junior year of
any college or university after receiv
ing a diploma from the Military
Academy. This is of untold benefit to
boys and girls who hope to obtain a
college education.
Normal Department.
We learn with pleasure that a spe
cial course has been arranged for by
the faculty of the New Bern Military
Academy, for the benefit of public
school teachers. Competent instruc
tors will have charge of this depart
ment and the very best advantages
will be afforded.
This course of instruction will be
gin March the first, and will continue
during the remaining three months of
the term. Special rates are offered
to teachers. This is quite an advan
tage to young teachers who desire to
prepare for examinations, or to better
prepare themselves for their profes
sion.
HELP! HELP! ! HELP! ! !
Brother J. B. Olive, one of our
faithful pastors and missionaries in
Onslow county, is asking the churches
to help in the erection of a house of
worship at Spring Hill. Brethren,
you who read this letter, send him a
contribution. No man stands higher
than Brother Olive and he knows how
to make a dollar roll as far as any
man in our Association.
Dear Brethren:
We are trying to build a house of
worship at Spring Hill, N. C. Spring
Hill is a mission point. The work
was started there about two years
ago and the organization of a Bap
tist church soon followed, but we are
laboring under great disadvantages,
not having a suitable place of worship
and not being able to complete the
house within ourselves, we have de
cided to appeal for help through the
religious press of North Carolina,
trusting that brother pastors and
deacons will bring the matter before
their churches and take collections

for the same. We are very thankful
for small contributions and larger in
proportion.
All contributions may be sent to
Alexander Trott, Deppe, N. C., who
will use the money for the best ad
vantage for the church. The pros
pects are bright and hopeful if we
can succeed in getting a house. May
the Lord put it into the hearts of His
people to lend a helping hand where
it is so much needed.
J. B. OLIVE, Pastor.
Condensed For Four Days.
“There was a good old lawyer of
the good old southern type,” said a
judge, “who had a most eloquent way
of pleading. His brief lor three days
had been a marvel of classical allu
sion and legal erudition.
“The judge, however, became a
trifle impatient and, as gently as he
could, intimated that the docket was
somewhat crowded, and it might be
to the client’s interest if the lawyer
could contrive to end his plea. And,
do you know, the old barrister declar
ed that the last four days of his ar
gument were a marvel of condensa
tion.”

‘question: “Where did they get it?”
naturally suggests Itself to every
mind. Masculine models of perfec

At the advent of the new year we desire to express the sincere
wish that for one and all it may contain 366 happj’ and prosperous
days. We also wish at this time to thank those who by their pat
ronage and commendation have made 1903 one of the most suc
cessful years in the history of our business. We fully appreciate
the fact that a very large part of the increase is due to the kind
words of our customers, and we solicit a continuance of these favors.
We shall strive to merit them by endeavoring more and more to
make this a drug store to which every one can come with absolute
confidence in the quality of goods, the carefulness of its service and
the reasonableness of its prices.
