REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING.
Means 10 Preserve Young Pine and
Holly Trees Discussed.

The Southern Pines improvement
Socty held their regular monthly meet
ing at O'Clock Wednesday, Nov. 2nd,
in the parlor of the Hotel Ozone.
A very interesting feature was the
address given by Mrs. l.. NJ. Young on
the work and ways of the old Improve
ment Society which existed here
during the early years Of the towns
life, when Southern Pines was being
planted on the edge of the forest. Mrs.
Young was one of the most active
members. Her address was very
interesting and Instructive, and was
delivered in a charming manner. She
told of the time when no streets or
roads existed.
Then the people drove their, ve-
hicles where they pleased and con-
sidered their progress satisfactory if
they avoided most Of the stumps; and
when pine-rooters were an established
feature of the place. A prominent
part in the work af the Society was
taken by the ladies', who often person.
ally superintendent the making of roads,
etc.
Mrs. Young closed her address with
graceful aud Just eulogy of the late
secretary of the old Society, Mrs. II.
S. Marks, the audience was apprecia-
tive and applausive.
Rev. H. T. Gregory, Chairman of
the Executive Committee, then spoke
about the too prevalent custom of cut
ting down and destroying young trees.
He considered the subject an impor-
tant one, and spoke at some length.
1t goes without saying that he depre-
Gated the custom of destroying young
trees, and he asked the members of
the Society to do all in their power to
prevent such wanton destruction.
DR.. B. Won Herf spoke on the
same subject. He is an authority on
horticulture and his remarks were
listened to closely. He agreed EAh
Mr.. Gregory, and finally offered a
resolution to the effect that the trees
in and about the town, especially
young pine and holly trees, should be
protected, aud that definite measures,
should be taken to so protect them.
The motion was put and carried, and
Dr.. Won Herif was requested TO put it
in writing to be presented at the next
meeting if the Society, which is the
annual one, the .elccto Of officers and
kindred business, to be held the FIRST
Friday in December. He consented,
and the subject will be brought for
ward again at that time.
Mrs. Young, Mrs. Couch, aud MIR.
Couch spoke informally upon the same
subject.
The meeting adjourned at 9:l0 p. m.

Curiosities of The Calendar.

Here are some odd facts worth
storing away, connected with the
days OF the week on which centuries
and months begin,
No century can begin on We'd
nesday, Friday or Saturday, The
month of October commences with
the same day of the week as January,
except in leap year. September and
December also start on the same
week day, and so do February, March
and November. The first day of May,
June, and August never fall on the
same week day on which any other
month begins. April and July always
start ON the same day of the week.
This fear January and October begin
on a saturday; February, March and
November on a Tuesday. April and
July on Friday, September and
December on Thursday, June on a
Wednesday, May on Sunday, August
on a Monday, Leap year, however,
always throws this little arrange
ment out of gear Christmas always
falls OF the same day of the week as
New Years Day, and a year always
ends on the same week day as it is
started Next year will start on a
Sunday, and there viii thus be fifty
three Sundays in the year, thing
which happened last in 1898, and
occurs only fourteen times in CEN

The Southern Pines Graded School,
provided for by the special charter in
cooperating the town OF Southern
Pines, is now entered upon its second
year of existence. II is public school,
supported by taxation, and free to all
children whose parents are legal resi-
dents of the town. Non-residents are
admitted to The regular classes of the
school upon the payment offs small tu-
ition fee. Pupils may enter at any
time and will receive careful attention
| but as good results in this work cannot,
perhaps, be expected when they enter
during the term instead of at its com.
mencement. ~.
Besides providing tirst-class school
| for those children who make Southern
Pines, and vicinity, their home, the
School Committee have in mind a
| school which will compare as nearly
as may be with the public schools oil
| the Northern and Eastern States, SC
that parents coming to Southern Pines
to escape the rigors Of the Northern
winter could place their children in a
school where nearly the same work
taught after all approved method-as
is done in their home schools, could be
had.
Following this thought, the course OF
study has been prepared, based partly
on the suggestions made by the report
of the committee of fifteen Of the Ma
tional Educational Association. 1t is
designed to cover ten consecutive years
of work and advance the student TO
within two or three years of college,
thus covering the work of the English
course Of the average high school to
the beginning of the third year.
No language other than English is
taught. The last two years Of the
course include: Euglish-two years;
Mathematics-one and one-haf years;
Science-one and one-half years; Civil
Government and History-one and
one-half years, and Bookkeeping one
half year
A daily class record is kept, supple
mented by frequent written reviews
and written examinations usually
written1 once per month At the
close of each months work the stand.
ings are averaged and report sent to
the parent for examination and appro-
val. In this way the parent is fur
nisbed with gauge of the pupils prog
ress, and the pupil also has the salts
faction of seeing the progress OF the
months work stated in definite terms.
The school occupies commodious
and well ventilated building near the
center of the town Each room is
furnished with excellent new desks and
is well lighted.
Both morning and afternoon sessions
are held commencing at 900 A. NJ.
aud closing at 4 T. NJ. with noon in
PERMISSION of one hour and fifteen
minutes.
The school is in charge of Northern
teachers, three in number. All have
had experience in teaching in Northern
schools, and aim to keep in touch with
the best educational thought and prog
ress of the day. Patrons of the school
are urged to visit it and thus make
themselves acquainted with the pupils
progress, and all others interested in
school work will gladly be made well
come. Pupils are urged to be present
at every session, for the old adase,
"Lost time is never found again." APP
plies as strongly to this as to any other
business.

more just now upon the effect for good
of the papers contents than upon its
make up wd appearance. The begin
ming of any enterprise is beset with
many difficulties, vexations, disappoint-
ments. The FREE PRESS is meeting
with its share of such things, but it is
only temporary condition. When
our own presses are set up we shall
put before the people Of Southern Pines
a paper which will in every way be
worthy of the town.
There was once great distress, fam
inc almost, in certain district in Italy,
aud Pope Leo XIII and his Cardinals
met to consider means by which to re-
ieve the distress Several Of the Car
dinals made eloquent speeches on the
keenness of their sympathy with the
distressed people, They insisted upon
their sympathy. "Very good, very
good indeed" said the Pope after one
such speech "but how many dollars is
your sympathy WORTH" On all hands
we hear expressions of sympathy with
our efforts to establish a paper in
Southern Pines. Very good, we are
indeed grateful, but how many sub

approval and sympathy worth, friends
