Among'the speakers was J.M. Robinson, a well known business man of Topeka, Kansas, who gave them this kind of advice obout advertising, and it is so good that it will bear repeat ing here: "If you merchants want adver tising go to the plants that have built your city the newspapers. They advertise you more than the little tixtt ad. You place in one cor ner of them can pay for. They sav nice things about you, and often they say things about you which are not nice. The newspapers are the best advertisement a city or a group of businessmen possess." The business world' is coming to realize the truth of these statements more each day. A city is known by its newspapers because they reflect the. business, social, and intellec tual life of the community. The business men today who are suc ceeding are the ones who are using the newspapers, not once a month or once a week, but every day in the year, It is the constant lick that makes business and the man who strikes a lick and then waits until the iron cools will never ac complish much in the world of bus iness. You cannot do business and you cannot reach the people in any way as effectively and as cheaply as in the newspapers.

Chanel Hill. N. C. Jan. 30, 1911. The University was victorious in her first game of basketball played in the Bynum Gymnasium Friday night with Virginia Christian Col lege. The score was 42 to 21. The local quintet showed unexpected team work in the second half and proceeded to pile up the score. Everybody interested in the success of Carolina athletic teams is delighted at the announcement that Mr. Branch Bocock has signed up to coach the Varsity football team next year. Mr. Bocock has coached the V. P. I. team for the last two years and has turned out some ereat teams up there. He is well acquainted with climatic con ditions in the South and is better fitted to handle a team of Southern boys than a Northern coach. He graduated from Georgetown Uni versity where he also studied law until he received his license. Rev. B. VV. Spillman, Baptist Sun day school evangelist, delivered ad dresses at the Baptist Church last Sunday. He made a strong plea for Sunday school workers to redouble their efforts to keep the Big Boy in terested in Sunday school. Mr. Spillman devotes his entire time to Sunday school work among the col leges and universities of the South and East. The Chapel Hill Y. M. C. A. sent a delegation of ten men including Mr. E. P. Hall, general secretary, to the Inter-state Convention of Young Men 's Christian Associations which met in Raleigh the last three days of the week just closed. This was as large a delegation as was sent by any college in North Caro lina and South Carolina. The Chapel Hill Association is in- a flourshing condition now. There are 325 men in the Bible study groups and the Mission study groups which were organized last spring included 315 and bid fair to reach a still larger figure this year. Manatrer E. F. McCulloch has an nounced the schedule for the base ball team. There are 23 games, 11 of which are to be played in Chapel Hill. Oak Ridge, Wake Forest, Davidson, Guilford, South Carolina, V. P. I. and the University of Vir ginia, all have arranged games. The 2 Va. games will be played in Greensboro and Charlotte, April 8 and 10, and the third game in Char lottesville, April 21. The outlook for material for the team to play this schedule is very poor. Only one member ot last year's varsity is back sure that he will play his position. This is Captain Hackney of Wilson. Where Taft Could Ba Found. When President Taft was on his campaigning tour in the West, be fore he had been elected president, he stopped at the home of an old friend. It was a small house, not well built, and as he walked about in his room the unsubstantial little house fairly shook with his tread. When he got into bed that recept acle, unused to so much weight,, gave away, precipitating Taft to the floor. Hie friend hurried to the door. ' What's the matter Bill?'' "Oh I'm all right, I guess," Taft called out to his friend good- naturedly; "but say, Joe, if yo.i do not find me here in the morning, look in the cellar."- Ludien Home Journal. Lexington, N. C.

Ledford at old Reedy Run). She also received training under Dr. Deems at the old Glen Anna Col lege near Thomasville back in '54 and '55, but on account of her eyes failing, her college education was never completed.

Pleasant church in the country, where the interment took place in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives. The Floral offerings were many and beautiful, and attested in a measure, the high esteem in which the deceased was held. There are many sad hearts throughout Davidson county on ac count of the taking away of this good lady; for to know her was to respect and love her.
