N. Xvey, Editor of the Raleigh Christ lan Advocate,for a copy of the N. C Methodist Handbook for 1904. This annual publication of over 150 pages, beautifully bound in blue and crimson covers furnishes that information which cannot be found in the church paper, the Conference Journal, or any other publication. It ia the information which every intelligent Methodist needs- 25c. sent to Rev. T. N. Ivey, Raleigh, N. C. will bring the book. Lsttar to WNI SMT Williamston, N. C. Dent Sir: Messrs. Leachman & Edelin, Grafton, W. Vs., had been selling a paint, which they thought well of; and this had occurred. They had sold a customer 18 gal lons of it to paint his house. A few yeai* later, they sold the same man Devoe-lead-and zinc the same •umber of gallona to paint the same house. He had 7 gallons left. The point of the tale is: 11 gal lons Devoe paints an 18-gallon house. ~ Of course, that isn't all. Why docs 11 gallois Devoe go AS far as 18 gallons of other paint ? Because it is sll paint, all true, no •ham, and full measure. But that isn't all. Devoe lasts laager. No, no; you bavn't got to wait ten years to find that out. Ten thousand people know it. We've got their names. Oujr sgents know them; they think a heap of Devoe. There's no difficulty in showing your townspeople what to expect of Devoe. $lO will paint a sls house ; and the paint'll last twice as long. 33 Yours truly, F. W. DKVOS & Co. ijew York.

The Staias of the Graded School That those who are generally in terested in the Williamston Graded School may form some idea of the plan upon which the school is oper ated, we give a brief outline of its main features: THE GRADES Although the curriculum of the school provides for nine years con secutive work, material was found at the beginning for the formation of only seven grades.. The child ren in these seven grades may con tinue in their course being pro moted each vear, by passing satis factory examinations, to the next highest g ade, until the ninth is coqjj>leted. Certificates of gradu ation will be awarded to those ac complishing the full course. In the primary grade, under the charge of Miss Maiina Whitley,the children are drilled in the letters and sounds (the Phonic method) also in the use of numbers. In the second and the third grades, under Miss Nelle Simpson, they are taught the second, third and fourth readers, the elements of geography and arithmetic and writing. The fourth and fifth grades under Miss Sallie Richardson, embrace more comprehensive work in reading, arithmetic, geography, spelling, grammar and history. The sixth grade, under its Principal, intro duces the pupils to Algebra, Latin, higher arithmetic and reviews grammar, history, etc. The work of the oixth grade is expanded in the seventh. In the eighth and ninth grades will be taught the higher branches of science, art and literature. THK SESSIONS The school year is divided into two terms of four months each. At the end of each of the sessions writ ten examinations will be held, an average of 75 per cent, on which will entitle to promotion in the grades. Children failing to obtain the promotion marks will be requir ed to take the same work ever un td they get credit for same. The intermediate examinations will be held the first week in February. REGULATIONS. Rules have been formed for the Graded School regarding attend ance, preparation of lessons, twdijgas, truant playing, deface ment of property, profanity, and the general conduct of the pupils. These regulations are not too rigid, though they have been thoroughly impressed on the pupils, and a strict observance of them is requir ed. * A course of ten grades in music is conducted by Miss Jennie Moore, though this is apart from the pub lic achool, and a tuition fee is charged monthly.

Mlllltiiiri's hu StMicl The worn-out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often paraded in the public prints as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indiges tion are rampant among these peo ple, and they suffer tar worse tor tues than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green's August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years. August Flower arouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and in suring pefect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your station.

CONFIRMATION Bis bop Capers at the tJMrch of the Bishop Ellison Capers, of South Carolina, who is assisting in the work of the Diocese of East Caro lina, made a visitation to this Par ish on Tuesday evening, the 19th instant at which time the Rite of Confirmation was administeied. Bishop Capers is a man of fine presence, an ex-Confederate gener al and one of the most eminent di vines in the Sooth. He sustained bis reputation as an orator and the deep earnestness of his manner im pressed the most careless listener. He has a soft, dear voice with in tonation so perfect that not one syllabic was lost to his hearers. * He chose for hia text Matt. 22- 21: "Render therefore unto Cae sar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's," and drew from this answer of the man of Galilee to the wicked Herod ians snd Pharisees the lesson of man's duty to Society and bis dnty to the God who divinely or dained that Society. In plain,sim ple language ho depected the high est and truest type of patriotism— love of country indissolubly linked with love of God. He appealed es pecially to the young and gave them the important truth that to be a loyal citizen a man must in his daily life and character be moral. The discourse was in its entirety a powerful one, both helpful and in structive to the adult and child. The Parish, which deploring the circumstance which made Bishop Capers' visit necessary, was much pleased at his coming and will al ways welcome Urn gladly, for the message he bears horn God our Father.
