The material for the in stallation of the system is arriving rapidly, and the work on the system will be well under the way by the 15th of this month. The lot to the east and north of the Baptist Church, facing the Southern Railway, which ' was re cently purchased by the town, will be used for the purpose of establish ing the reservoir and tower; building for machinery, pumps, etc. The contract, as made binding by the town, calls for a completion , of the system within 120 working days,' dating from the 15th of September.

Miss Elbie Miller, of Biscoe, and Miss Corinna Auman, of Asheboro, are the new teachers. The enrollment of the opening day reached the number of 371; forty-six more than attended the opening day on last session. When approached by a Cornier scribe on the subject of the prospects of the school this session, Prof Woos ley expressed himself as highly elated over the bright future of the schocl and thought that the local attendance would tax the capacity of the school to its utmost, and he stated that other students from afar off would have to be refused admittance. Daily arrivals are being enrolled and the already large enrollment will be swelled immensely before many weeks have passed.
