Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure ii you must
take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack med
icine. 1t was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. 1t is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
VAN BUREN COUNTY TEACHERS HAVE EN
JoYED A SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTE.

The summer school for Van Buren
county teachers, which opened in Paw
Paw July Is and closes this week, has
been one of the most successful insti-
tutes ever held in this county, and is
said by the instructors to have equaled
in interest and profit any in which they
have ever worked. The scope of the
work is shown by the following list of
branches taught: Algebra, arithmetic,
written and oraD, civil government, ge-
ometry, general history, U. S. history,
physics, psychology, grammar, botany,
study of English masterpieces in litera-
ture, orthography and nature study GA
recitations daily. Supplementary to
this are periods for discussion of topics
of general interest on school manage
ment difficult points in ethics, etc.
Prof. r.. ID. Briggs, superintendent of
schools at Howell, has acted as conduct
or, assisted by Miss Alice Marsh of the
Detroit public schools and Mr. Wells G..
Brown, commissioner of schools for Van
Buren, county.
Seldom have instructors been met by a
more conscientious lot of teachers than
the III who have been here enrolled,
and the fine showing in the work is evi-
dence that Van Buren, county is clear in
the front rank in the ability of its peda-
gogues. All the teachers attending the
institute speak in the highest terms Of
Prof. Briggs, Miss Marsh and Mr.. Brown,
and tho Schoo1s of fba countv cappot fa II
to show the effect OF the excellent work
they have done.
Commissioner Brown has been partic-
ularly wide-awake in the work of
the summer school, and has out
lined some excellent plans for the com
ing school year. One of his best efforts
is along the line of reading circle work,
and we believe he is receiving hearty
support and cooperation along this line.

Sugar-Be Seed for Distribution.

by the courtesy Of the Secretary of
Agriculture, who has done so much to
stimulate interest in the su9ar-beet in
dustry, the Experiment Station will
nave, for RratuitOus distribution to
farmers in the different counties of the
State, several pounds of selected sugar
beet seed. In accordance with the
wishes of the Secretary, the beet seed
will be distributed in North Carolina
only to those who promise to follow
directiOnsin regard to planting, cult
waiting, harvesting, and who will send
samples for analysis, and give us full
Information as to COST. The farmer
who undertakes the work should be
able to realize yield, and as the beet
is very excellent for table use and
proves valuable feed for stock, the
farmer will be fully paid for his time
and trouble.
North Carolina is not located IN the
isOthermal belt in which it is known
that the sugar beet is grown most
successfully for commercial purposes: !:
but should We be able to grow beet
with a sufficient high percentage of
sugar, this will doubtless lead to the
erection of factory in the State, and
there will BE- many benefits to come
to our people in consequence.
The Experim snt Station will be glad
to receive applications for sugar-beet
seed on the conditions above named,
and to 60 respond with anyone in
