CoLoRED NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Entrance examination papers were
yesterday received from the Plymouth
Colored Normal School There were
twenty of them. These papers are for
the use of the State Board of Examn-
ers. This enables the board to judge
OF the qualifications of the superinten-
dents Of the various schools. This
operates to raise the standard of the
normal schools and prevent their being
crowded by students who belong in the
public schools. The Plymouth school
usually has from $50 to 200 students
and receives nearly $4,000 Appropriation
from the State. The Salisbury Normal
School has also opened. All these

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
TO PROSPECTIVE
CARPET BUYERS.

Only few more days remain in which to
buy carpets at the present prices. The mills
have already given notice to the trade Of ad
vance, and we will Sc compelled to follow suit
when our present stock is exhausted
This has been our most successful carpet
season. Why? Because our carpets were
bought by an experienced carpet buyer, who
knows how to buy carpets, consequently we
have been able to show better goods, more Sc
lect patterns for less money than any other
house in town can show.
If you are thinking Of buying carpet this
winter, come and buy from us now, and we
will make and lay them free Of charge when
YOU wish them.
