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.

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. Trial bottles,
15c; regular size, 75c. S. R. Biggs.
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.
