The Graded School.
Hickory is growing, progress
in material things is her's. A
commercial spirit rules her thor
oughfares, she is more Eke a
western town in growth than
like a town of the proverbial
South. In material and com
mercial things may she not
spread only; but rise to grow
morally, religiouslr, and educa
tionally.
Educationally? Then what of
our Graded School? Who shall
be intrusted with the education
of the youth of our town? Soon
we will reach the point of a High
School, another year perhaps,
then we must have a man of
scholarly attainments to plan and
lead to this. Some day there
will be other graded , schools
within our corporate limits, and
as the town grows, for it surely
will, other school buildings will
have to be erected and in time a
superintendent will have to be
appointed to care for all this, and
now in selecting why not look
for a man for the future? A
man who will hold the schools
and hold the people for their best
interests.
A Graded School leads up to a
High School and a High School
should educate a boy or girl suf
ficiently for all practical pur
poses of life, or prepare them for
College or University.
Again we must have a scholar-,
ly man to preside over this. Then
we must have a man of good
moral character, of fine religious
feeling, and above all a man of
gentlemanly insticts.
We should have a good dis
ciplanarian, an organizer, and a
man of experience, one who has
lived in the world and not in
books alone, and a man of the
*
people for the people.
Sounds like perfection? Yes,
but there are to be found among
experienced educators just such
men, and Hickor/ should have
one of them at this critical period
The public schools o£ the South
are fast supplanting the Second
ary Schools and property so.

the children are now being
taught drawing, manual train
ing, and singing as systematical
ly as they have arithmetic and
grammar taught them. In some
cities cookm -and dressmaking
are taught Of course Hickory
will have to grow for all this,yet
we should have drawing and
singing in this way.
Teach a child to work with his
hands and his brains will begin
to Work also. A boy who does
manual traing training, or learns
comparative measurements in a
drawing class or grows to think
and create a picture has started
on the road toward a mechanical
education; and he becomes a bet
ter boy for feeling that he can
do fine tilings. - We want a pro

.Young Man Save Your Money.
Tfiese days of prosperity have
had marked effect upon the hab
its of our people and one of these
is the habit of extravagance.
This is noticeable among the
young men. Money is easy to
make. Almost any boy can make
twice as much money a day as
his father did, but does the
young man of the present save
twice as much? That is the ques
tion. It is a fact that very few
of our young men are making
any effort to lay by anything for
a rainy day. If we had the ear
of the young men of the town
we would say, "Young man,save
your money. No young manof
ordinary means can afford to
keep up with "society." It costs
too much. Young man, save
your money.

NATURE'S
GREAT BLOOD TONIC
Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated
Iron & Alum Water
( Reprtttntinj tht Fmmcii Bedford Alum t, lr*a Springs of Va.)
contains 17 of the most powerful Mineral Tonics.
An 18-oz. bottle contains all the minerals in a barrel of
the average water. We furnish the minerals* you
furnish the water.
We have certificates both from the public and from emi
nent physicians, telling of its virtue in Dyspepsia,
Rheumatism, a large variety of Female Diseases*
Chronic Diarrhoea and Dysentery, General De
bility, Anaemia, Malar a, Ulceration of the
Throat, Diabetes. Piles, Chronic Eczema, Ner
▼ousness. Chronic Constipation, and many show
ing the wonderful cures in that dreadful disease, Scro
fula.
Dr. T. L. Kablbs, for fifteen years a resident at the Springs, says:
For Scrofula, that fearful destroyer of human health and happiness, we have
in this water o remedy which neither science nor fortunate accident has hitherto
found an equal. It is in this malady, and tome forms of secondary and tertiary
Syphilis, that thi» water when carried to its fuU alterative effect, displays it* highest
curative powers. In all forms of diseases jieculinr to females, this water will be
found to exert a curative second to none in Virginia. r
I have given your Concentrated Water a fair trial, and say with pleas
ure I have be* greatly benefited. For some years I have suffered more or
leas with IndigeSion, followed by Constipation and other attendant ills.
Within the past two months I have found such relief from your remedy
that I have unproved in strength and weight; have eaten what I have not
dared to do for a long time, and have done harder work than I have been
able to do before for years.
Rrcv. OSCAR LITTLETON,
Presiding Elder, Lynchburg, Va.
Since 1894 I have been afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea. About ax
months ago I commenced using your Concentrated Iron and Alum Water
with the most wonderful and satisfactory results. _ For three or four years
past I have been deprived of the privilege of visiting friends or going to
church, as my trouble kept me in constant apprehension, having lost almost
entirely the control of my bowels; but now I am happy tostatefthat after
mring about a half dozen bottles of your remedy I am entirely cured, not
having used any for the last four months. I can confidently and most gladly
recommend your remedy for Chronic Diarrhoea.
Cait. RUFUS AMIS, Virgilina, Va.
I was an intense sufferer for some months with Indigestion, and could
get no relief from the ordinary remedies. During the month of January I
began the use of your Concentrated Water, Mid one bottle has entirely re
lieved me.- I can now digest any diet and am entirely free from suffering.
I take great pleasure in giving this testimonial.
Rex* H. M. BLAIR,
j • Editor N. C. Christian Advocate,
- Greensboro, N. C.
I have used and prescribed waters from several Iron and Alum Springs,
but none of them begin to come up to your Concentrated Water in all that
goes to make the ideal alterative, strengthener, appetizer and restorative.
It is at once a fine tonic and flesh-builder.' Have advised several recently
to try it, and always with fine and quick results. In January I had a bottle
sent from one of your dealers to a ladv, with the understanding that if it
did not at once improve her digestive apparatus, I would pay the SI.OO myself.
-She not only willingly paid the bill, but used a part of one-half dozen more
bottles, and is now completely cured of a long and annoying Stomach
Trouble. This seems to be the case with all who try it.
