The Display Made by This Excellent In
stitution at The Fair.
For the past two years the Thompson
School and Business College Of Siler
City has had a large and attractive
exhibit at the State Fair. The exhibit
this year was much larger and better
than the one last year, which clearly |
shows that the school is progressive
and is constantly aiming at something
higher and better. We find printed on
the cover of the excellent and beauti-
fully illustrated catalogue of ThOmp-
son School these words: "a nOn-secta-
tartan Christian school," '"The highest
aim of this school is to develop strong,
manly character" The character and
aim of this excellent school are beauti-
fully set forth in these words as above
quoted. The catalogue shows that the
school was established in 1880 and has
been running successfully for nearly
sixteen years. Having established a
reputation for honest and thorough
work, this school has received the
highest endorsement from the best ed
ucators Of the country, as is shown in
the catalogue. The reputation OF the
ern States, hence the appropriateness

THOMPSON School and Business Col
lege is located at Siler City, a pleasant
and healthful little village on the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad,
about 35 miles from Greensboro and IS
miles from Fayetteville. We have
every reason to believe that the advan-
tages offered at this school are far
above the average. We judge the school
by it's fine exhibit at the State Fair,
, and by the very high endorsements
. from the best educated men of the
State. We recommend this school to
the farmers of North Carolina as one
;, of the best and cheapest educational
:. institutions in the State. The faculty
is strong, instruction thorough, accom-
modatiOns good, board cheap, whole
= some and varied healthfulness of the
s village unsurpassed, discipline of the
= school good. Siler City is dry town
: and the moral and religious influences
f are unusually good. AS shown by the
