Institutes are for a free and in
formal discussion of every-day
farm problems and no farmer can
attend and take partinihese dis

the time spent No attempt will

methods are better thaiT manv
of those now practiced will be

Seven Spring New*—
News is a little scare at this
' writing.
The health of this section is
4 not so good. " i here is lots of
: folks that have bail colds,
Corn is fine in this part of the
J county. Cotton is looking fair
ly well after having such a set
back in the spring. The wheat
is ibout all treashed and turned
\out very well, N. E. Fry has
' the finest cotton I have seen. He
; has one field that is Waist high
all over, arid has a fine stand.
| R. J. Lawrence has the best
field of corn iit this sectioiS. if
; the season still holds good. He
will make 7& bushels to the acre
j wad nothing short of that either.
% .Well we.are having some hot
' weatjier A* tins 'time. The
Springs are crowded with pleas
ure, seekers, drinking good min
eral water-and keeping as cool as
I they can, but I believe a man
! would get hot in an ice house
> such weather as we are - having
; at present. The madam of the
• springs had her hrst green com
on her table last Sunday and also
■ tomatoes ofher own raising.
Blackberry pie is plentiful
with all of our neighbors. Apple
pie is scarce; peach pie none at
all. I suppose the readers of the
&emocr»fc will think I am a dear
lover of pie. Well I am, give me
pie, ham and eggs, I am all right,
with about twelve large size bis
cuits mixed in three times a day;
I have mineral water here that
will make a sick man weft, and
also have him in a short time
wanting to est the smokehouse
key. I want all of the weak and
rundown people to come to the
famous Seven Springs and drink
of the heading water. My springs
is not loaded up with drugs, thev
are just as the Lord made them.

A Lesson Tfm* PW
On a recent Sunday the faith
ful dog came with the family to
church. This may not have been
the proper thing for the dog to
have done, but in his behavior
. he taught some good lessons. In
the first place he did not take
' the back seat but came near the
pulpit, even on the pulpit and
quietly laid down. In this res
-1 pect some people might learn

I when the audfeppf arose in pray
er the dog arose also. He was
conforming to the custom of the
congregation with which he wor
shiped. Another example which
I some-might follow with profit
. when die owner of the doj
thought thedgg sfyms be eject
£d' from the church It fifause? b W

sadness. He seemed to fee!

Yes, there are lessons to b
learned even from a dog.—Stan

Mclver Memorial Fund.
1 Miss Etta Speif, president of
th 3 Alumna Association of the 1
3 Stats Normal College visited
* Newton and Hickory last Wed
nesday and Thursday, the object
s af her visit being to create inter
' est in the Mclver Memorial Fund
The Association has undertak
' en to raise this fund to perpetu-
ate the work begun by Dr. Chas.
1 D. Melver and to make possible
! Dr. Mclver's wish that no wom
' an desiring an education at the
College should ever be turned
; >way for lack of funds. Its fit
ness as his memorial, the one he
! would like best, is unquestioned
! and must appeal to all who knew
of his work and his life.
When this money is raised, or
1 even a part of it is raised and
available, any girl, having the
endorsement of her county asso
' ciation, can borrow from it, giv
ing her personal note, with the
smallest' practicle rate of inter
est and fit herself for teacher,
business woman or housewife.
A teacher desiring a little techni
-1 cal training can borrow the
money and take the six weeks
' May course or a Fall course and
1 become a better worker in her
; field. A girl who has ambition
1 may find it necessary to borrow
enough for expenses for her full
1 college course another for the
entire business course —all to be
paid back and loaned again and
again.
The college has always had a
number of positions 'tilled by
girls as helpers—dining room,
telephone, etc., but the number
of applicants more than doubles
! the number of positions and
this too when the girls are will
ing and eager to do this in order
to help themselves.
The Normal College is a great
institution and with this Memo
rial Fund it bids fair to beeome
the greatest in the State.

• In Memoriam
How touchingly mournful are
the lessons of life.
- We entwine our dearest affec
tions atound our loved ones, and
lo! in the morn we awake to find
them gone out from us to that
vast beyond.
Our brother R. L. Abernethy
has been sorely afflicted. The
omnipotent eye of the Almighty
looked into his happy home, and
with the icy finger of death,
touched his beloved wife, on Sat
urday, June 29th, 1907, and her
sweet, gentle spirit took its
flight, to live forever in that
world where death never comes
and parting is no more. There
fore, be it Resolved,
That we, the members of Hick
ory Lodge fto. 206, L 0. 0. F, in
humble submission, to the Ruler
of the universe, -tender to our
brother ih his irreparable loss
and abiding sorrow our sympa
thy and brotherly love. May he
ever remember that
Where tke silent HWfWc
awaiting the resurrection morn.
As a mark of respect to our
brother we ask that this memo
rial be spread upon our records,
and a copy be furnished Brother
Abernethy under the seal of the
Lodge, and also a copy be sent
to each of the city papers for
publication.
