Established 1899 Death of Mrs. Margaret Bqyden. End Came TM? and the Interment Was in Salisbury. After a life of suffering, there entered into *hat rest which re mains to the people of God, on the evening of August 17, the tired spirit of Mrs. Margaret F. Boy den, widow of Mr. S.- W. Boy den and daughter of the lata Dr. William B. Council! and Mrs. AliCfc M. Councill, of Boone. She was tbout 50 years of age. For many, weeks it had been seen thatthlHbread of life had worn very Shin, and the unstini ed love o£ kindred and friends touched the dying pillow wiih its tenderness. Of coarse one's grief must spend its tears as the cloud its rain, but When the last faint breath of life was breathed, there was not one of the anxious watchers, who lkl not realise that toil had lapsed at last into rest, pain into perfect joy and sickness into the health of heav en. For a number of jears after her marriage. Mrs. Boyden lived in Salisbury and there lost her little daughter. Marguerite. On her death bed she requested that she be laid to rest beside the little baby mound of earth in the Salisbury cemetery, and it was in deference to this wish that the funeral and interment were there, the services being con ducted by Rev. Dr. Mallette, the rector at Salisbury on Saturday. Mrs. Boyden, for greater part of her life, had lived with her parents at Boone where she was a devoted and consecrated mem ber of the Episcopal church and did a great deal of work in the field of charity. For the last 30 years of her life she had been a great sufferer from a complication of disease, having had to undergo three or four serious hospital operations but notwithstanding her poor health and great sufferings, she was what might be considered an active woman in the principal work of her life. Surviving are the following children: Mrs. Mary Cole La nier, Memphis, Tenn.; Mrs. Alice B. Holland, Gastonia; Messrs. Councill Boyden, of i Hickory, and Donald Boyden, of I Knoxville, Tenn. In addition' her mother, and the following brothers and sisters: Dr. J. B. Conncill, of Salisbury; Judge W. B. Councill, of Hickory; Mrs. Emma A. Taylor, of Hickory, and Mr. I. L. Councill, of Waynes ville. Her family ties intertwine with some of the finest names in the State. Her husband was a grandson of Judge Nathaniel Boyden, of the State Supreme Court, and she was a kinswoman of the Norwoods, Folks and Le noirs, of this section of the State. Mrs. Boyden had lived with her mother in Hickory for the last year of her life and previous ly spent her winters here for 6 or 8 years, and by her charm of heart and intellect she had bound to her a host of friends, who mingle their tears with those who mourn.

Last session fifty-four Hickory students attended Lenoir College —almost one-fourth of the entire enrollment. The average of the work done was excellent. Five of the prizes given duriug the year were won by the Hickory students: The scholarship medal, the best pro3e article prize, and the best poem prize by Richard Franklin Little; the Junior ora tor's medal by Arthur Milton Huffman; and the Chrestonian debater's medal by Robert Lee Coons. Lenoir College is proud of the quantity and quali'y of her home patronage. This excellent part that Hickory students are taking in the life and work of our Col lege is due largely to the recent | development, good management, and good work of our City Grad ed School. These two institu tions coordinated and articulated and wisely built up and patron ized by our people will work wonders for our town and com munity. Why leave home for the best in High School and College work when we have it here? Why leave home for the best in music, art, expression, voice, and bus iness courses when we have it in our own Institutions? Let those who know the art, expres sion, and music work of Lenoir College say whether this claim is too great. A number of the best bookkeepers and stenographers in the stores and offices of Hick ory are graduates of Hickory Business College. Judged by the results attained, Lenoir College is making good. The number of Hickory students in Lenoir College next session will be the largest in her history. R. L. FRITZ.

The gathering of ministers at Ciaremont* College last week proved t*r|e a most interesting and eojojKtble meeting. The ministers came on the invitation of Dr. Murphy and Prof. Keller to spend a week at the college. Thereepoase to this invitation brought l&persons together. It waaa season of sweet communion ftgd fellowship. The mornings were spent in devotion, Bible study* t and discussing topics. Hie afternoon was given to recreation.! Among the many interesting Bible subjects studied was the Second Coming of Christ. This study was lea by the Rev. Mr. Heller,' but all the ministers present took part. New light was received and new interest manifest in this most timely sub ject. The catechetical method of in troducing members into the church was the subject of a most helpful paper prepared by the Rev. Mr. Heller and the discus sion provoked by this paper was animated and consumed almost one mornisg. Following this was another strong paper on the opposite subject, viz: The evan gelistic method of receiving members into the church. The paper was most carefully prepar ed and the effect upon the con ference vas marked. Dr. Leon ard who had prepared the paper did it well and one of the younger brethren after hearing the dis cussion on the two papers declar ed that he was going home, organize a catachetical class, and employ an evangelist to conduct a series of services in his church. Rev. W. W. Rowe discussed ''The Pastor and His Bible" in an earnest manner, while Rev. J. L. \ earick spoke interestingly on the Laymen's Movement. Rev. Clarence Vv uods of Thom asville gave an interesting talk on "Organization in the Congre gation." Rev. Mr. Woods has >eeen assistant to the dev. Dr. Meminger of Lancaster. Pa , vno is recognized as the great est organizer in the Reformed chuich. Dr. Meminger's church is crowded with young people everv Sunday night and Mr. Woods has had the opportunity to observe the value of organiza tion in the congregation. It was however not the D. D. s, but the M. D. s that stirred up the dry bones. Drs. McNairy, of Lenoir, and Shuford, of Hickory, addressed the meeting on Friday morning. Dr. McNairy had a most care fully prepared paper on the rela tion of the pastor to the sick room. He admitted the helpful ness of the preacher to the phy sician, but lamented the fact that some ministers would inter fere with the doctor's treatment and often suggest patent medi cines, the ingredients of which they knew nothing. His descrip tion of the different kind of doctors and ministers was most effective. Dr. Shuford hit the nail on the head when he declar ed, if the people would be a little more intimate with the preacher while in health, they would not need him so badly when sick. On Wednesday night, the Rev. Mr. Zaugg, whose Bible readings were so helpful, preached in the Reformed church. Rev. J. L. Yearick preached on Sunday night. i There is a movement to make this a permanent gathering. Drs. Leonard and Murphy with the Rev. Mr. Zaugg have been ap pointed a committee to perfect such an arrangement. It was a great meeting, and a blessed gathering. The last of the visit ors left Monday morning. Rev. and *Mrs. Keller did much to make the occasion a success. Reformed Church Next Sun day. Rev. Joseph L Murpliy, Pastor. 9:45 Sunday School, Dr. Shu ford, Supt. V 11 a. m.

Asburv on last Saturday sold his residence at the corner of Pine and Flint Streets to Mr. G. B. Goodson. Mr. Asbury i.i the trade takes over the farm that Mr. Goodson recently pur chased from Dr. J. R. Bridges. The Lincolnton Insurance and Realty Co , acted as agent for both parties in making the trade. The same company on August 11th purchased a tract of land consisting of five to six hundred acres from Judge W. A. Hoke. This land is situated three miles from the court house, lying just off the Plank road on the road leading to High Shoals and Dallas. The company will im mediately divide this place into small farms which will be of ered for s lie as soon as the sur vey can be made. The nearness to Lincolnton and the fact that the commissioners are to imme diately begin building sand clav roads in Lincoln township makes this land especially desirable, as no doubt the road leading from Lincolnton to the County home will be one of the first roads to be worked on. It will be remembered that this Company has purchased and divided several tracts of land in the last few vears, there by enabling many farmers to se cure small farms. Traveling Men Locate in Hick ory. Hickory is fast attracting the traveling man. The Hotel Huf fry, a better hostelry than Char lotte could boast till the Selwvn was built, has a deep hold on the traveling man, and especially on Sundays is a crowd of them to be encountered there- Then, too, Hickory is beginning to land the traveling man as his hometown. The climate is ideal, malaria is unknown on account of the na tural drainage, and the train service is most excellent, there being 10 passenger trains a day, six on the Southern and four on the C. and N. W. Washington is only about 12 hours distant. Two notable and welcome ac cessions to Hickory have been made recently. Mr. Gordon, the representative of the Internation al Harvester Co., who has mov ed his family here from Char lotte, has taken rooms at J. H. Hatcher's home. He may build later. His territory is western North Carolina. The other is Mr. Williams, the representative for this section ai the Standard Oil Co., who will divide up Hickory and Salisbury as headquarters.

VALUE OF KINDERGAR TEN TRAINING. To the parents of Hickory: Not so very long ago there was in Germany a man named Fred rick Froebel, an enthusiast with a new idea, who lived unappreciat ed and died ob&cure. Slowly the world has come to realize that his idea is masterful, indis pensable, - What is that idea? This: That play is the creative activity of the child as work is the creative activity of the man, and that therefore childhood's play should be directed. Frobel studied the inclination? of the child and sought to move in line with nature. He utilized the tendency to play; just as we in a degree use the tides of the sea and the winds that blow to turn the wheels of trade. To use these welling tids of our nature, Froebel said, "would lead us on to God." Froebel therefore invented his "gifts" and "occupations." The first "gift" consists of six balls each colored with one of the hues of the rainbow. Here the child gets two of life's earliest impres sions—those of form and color. Games are played wjth these balls. The second "gift" con sists of a cube, a sphere and a cylinder, adding new ideas of form. He noticed the child was, very ir.quisitive, that it was of ten curious to know chat which was hidden from its sight; so. to sat isfy this natural desire of the child, he introduchd his DIVIDED CUBE. So in his teaching the playing of g»me» had an important part. Piay, song, and happy* useful effort — all working together for a common purpose! Socrates, four hundred and fiftv years be fore Christ, taught that kindness, courtesy and self-posession were of more importance than facts grubbed from books —that is to say, it is qualities that make a rhan great and not knowledge. Since Froebel's day some of the greatest minds of the world have been studying the child—Pes tulozzi, Herbert Spencer, Prof. James of Harvard, and scores of others. Prof. Preyer, of the University of Jena, has written wonderful books on the develop ment of his own children from their babyhood. Oat of all this has sprung the Kindergarten, with its trained teachers, who have mastered the all-important art of so subtly weaving instruction and develop ment of the mind into play that the child mind advances by leaps and yet so charmed is the child by the game that it does not realize that it is learning. The Kindergarten has built a new and firmer foundation for educa tion and Froebel's intent and ex pectation were to carry his methods right up through all the grades, even into the university, and on through life. So actually the Kindergarten plan is a sys tem of life, not merely a system of school teaching. No parent in reach of a Kin dergarten can afford to neglect it. Miss Mary Graham, one of the finest primary teachers of the Charlotte Graded Schools said: "The best children we ever had came from the Kindergar ten. They never required dis cipline/' We wish to thank our friends and patrons for their encourage ment and appreciation during the past and take this opportuni ty to announce that our Kinder garten will open on Monday, Sept. 18, when we would be pleased to have your continued patronage.

Charlotte is Coping Hickory. Qjsen City Adapts Hickory's Guarantee Fond. The Joy plan, which is the Hickory plan, of a $200,000 guar intee fund to bring new indust ries here, has not only flooded the Chamber of Commerce with triplications to move in manu facturing plants but has brought a bunch of letters from other towns, asking how Hickory works the guarantee plan. Asheviile and Rock Hill are among the cities which have inquired of Hickory about this and the Hick ory plan has evidently suggest ed to Charlotte "the Kuester clan," by v/hich that city, the biggest in the state, is about to follow in Hickory's footsteps. All this is nleasing to Hickory, which is proud that she has a secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in Mr. A. K. Joy who can initiate such a plan. The chronicle describes ,4 the Kuester plan" thus: "As might have been expect ed, the plan adopted by the busi ness men of Hickory to bring new enterprises to that town is working well. The help to be supplied by the $200,000 co-oper ative fund will be of a material character and in the end Hickory will have more than $200,000 in new manufacturing enterprises, for capital brought there by the manufacturers themselves must be taken into account. We have heard that a number of inquiries are being handled by the Hick ory people. This part of the country is fairly well supplied vvith cotton mills and larger en terprises, yet more of these are needed and will naturally come. It is stimulation in the line -of smaller industries to which the attention of our growing com munities should be directed. It is an elaboration, and yet a sim plification of the Hickory plan, that Mr. Clarence Kuester, pres ident of the Greater Charlotte Club has in mind and will unfold at the meeting of the club next Tuesday night. Charlotte has electricity in abundance and at a price that is attractive to the small manufacturer, opening to him a way to profitable business. Charlotte is entering upon the age of diversified manufactures. Already there is quite a list of articles made here and put upon the wholesale market, but these are just starters, The prosper ity which seems to follow these smalll ventures, ought to encour age rapid enlargement in his field. For one thing, Charlotte ought to manufacture the but tons that are used—bushels by the day—in the clothing factories of the town. This is but an in stance. There is an opening here for diversified manufactures on a small scale of a great many articles of commerce. It is the development of this line of in dustry that the Greater Charlotte Club has in mind. Kuester's plan is one calculated to bring about results, if the business men of the town will take hold of it. It will mean an organized effort and quite probably a suc cessful one."
