LATHES I" have Just added to my saw mill a first class lathe ma chine and aoi ready to supply my customer with lathes in any quanti ty, either delivered or at the mill, three miles north of Lincolnton. J; W. Keener. R. F. D. No. 4. Rutherford College Letter. Rutherford Bollege, as many already know is located in Burke county; N. C, one mile and one-half from Crmnellv Springs on the Southern Rail way. Situated as it is on the high foot-hills that lead up to the Blue Rjdge, the scenery and climate is all that could be de sired. .. The school has long been chartered as a College, but since the college passed into the hands of the Methodist conference in 1900. It has given no degrees'. It may now" be classified as a high-grade secondary school. The object of the school as stated in the catalogue, is to thoroughly prepare yonng nien for the sophomore or junior year in our leading colleges; to give a general education to those who can never go to college, and above all to help young men and women to build a strong moral character. The - fall term has been a very . successful term. More than 175 students have been enrolled, most of whom are go-to-work-and accomplish-something-students, and 26 art from Lincoln county I am glad to say. The.workdone here this year has been the best. We feel sure that Rutherford College has felt the Angelic touch of the spirit of the 20th Century; the educa tional spirit. We believe thaj the work done in our literary societies here this year cannot be surpassed by any secondary school in the State. We have three well organized literary societies that are wide awake and ready to discuss ably any of the leading questions of the day. The open meetings this year were better than ever before. The victorian society (or ladies) gave an open meeting Oct. 26th, 1906. The program was so well rendered, we'll not attempt: to describe. But we will say Lincoln county was well repre sented. The Journalist for the occasion being one of Lincoln county's accomplished young ladies, Miss Hester Summy, of Iron Station. The Platonic Society gave an open debate Nov, 2. Of this de bate many laudible things might be said, but that of which we like to boast is the master speech of the evening was made by S. C. Nixon, one of our Lin-' coin county boys. . - ;.-" -. .:; On Dec. 2 the Newtonian So- ciety gave a debate of the high- ' est quality and we are proud to add that one of the most inter- esting speeches of the occasion was made by Mr. Harvey Jonas, of Lincoln county. Beside the t societies already mentioned we have at Ruterford College a very successful Y. M. C. A., olso an Epworth League. The societies give our young people good opportunities for improvement of all the 4owers o both mind and soul. Prof. Peele has been with us three years as teacher of mathe matics and thoroughly Under stands the needs and manage ment of the school. He resigned his position as teacher of mathe matics last year and entered the ministry. On Prof.-. Thompson's resignation at the close of the fall term, Prof. Peele was elected president. ,' This school has done great things for Lincoln county in the past. A great many of our lead ing citizens received their educa tion at Rutherford ' College. There is no reason why she should not do more for us in the future. A STUDENT. . .p.iV ' IK' B I St..
