t JPipf. K. G. Busch of St. Paul,
has been appointed Pro
feasor of Chemistry and Physics
at Lenoir College. Prof. Busch
is well and favorably known to
! the people of this city, having
taught at this institution lor three
years. iSince that time he has
had most excellent university ad
vantages, and is an A. B. and B
S. graduate of the University of
Michigan, and did two years of
special post-graduate work there.
He is a strong scholarlv man
with rare gifts as a teacher.
Prof. F. G. Morgan of Maul
din, S. C., will teach Latin the
coming term. He graduated from
Lenoir College a, few years ago
with first distinction. He was
awarded the M. A. degree at the
University of S. C. in 1913,
Miss H. Louise Wright of Rush

Academy of Fine Arts, Chicago.
We welcome all these teachers
to our city, as well as the former

Better Paint
Better paint this year if your proper
\ty needs it. Mistaken men have been
waiting tor paint to come-down. The
cost of their job has gone-up not
down; it always goes-up by waiting,
never comes down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 30
years ago for a better paint than Devoe;
how long would he have waited? How
long world he still have to wait?
The price a gallon makes some dif
ference; yes, but not much; it's the
paint that counts; the quality counts.
It s the go-far that counts. Protec
tion of property counts more yet.
Better paint.

Harry Little Secures Another Pro
motion.
H. H. Little, our one-time pop
ular railroad agent, has just been
notified of another promotion.
This is no surprise to the people
of Hickory, as they believe his
merits would justify almost any
position. The only regret is that
he will be permanently located at
Boston, whereas in his present
position they could count on an
occasional visit from him from
the general office at Washington.
As traveling passenger agent,
Mr. Little's operations will keep
him out of this territory.
Presbyterian Church Notes.
The pastor will preach at both
services next Sunday. The fol

ty will meet next Monday after
noon. The Prayermeetings will
