largest exclusive buggy mandatory in
the State of North Carolina.
The firm of Taylor and Cannady,
manufacturers of fine buggies with a
speciality of young mems buggies, was
incepted in the spring of 1897, when Mr.
N. III. Cannady became co-partner of
the business which was originally in
cepted upwards of 20 years ago by Mr..
B. II. Taylor. the senior member of the
firm. The establishment of the business
was upon a small scale, but the style,
finish and workmanship of the huggies,
wagons, carriages, etc, built by Mr..
Taylor soon became known throughout
the State. And wherever the goods We're
sold entire satisfaction was given and
more customers began to send in orders.
The building occupied is amply com
modious being a four-story brick struc-
ture 40x200 feet in dimensions with
an l. running back 80 feet.
The labor employed is of the very
best skilled mechanics to be found in the
State and is under the direct superyis' Oh
of Mr. Is. f. Taylor. who has had IN
experience of twenty-five years in the
manufacture of buggies of the finest
character.

THE FRANCIS
billiard SCHOOL
A High Grade School Pre-
pairing Young Ladies
for College.
A SPLENDID CORPS OF TEACHERS.
The Best Results in Scholarship With the Least
Tear Upon Strength and Health.

The Francis Hilliard School was es-
tablished in 1892 for the instruction OF
young ladies, and to prepare them spe'
cially for entrance to college. Its sue
cess has been marked to a high degree,
as is attesed by the performances of its
graduates and the notable and steady an
crease of the number of its students.
While it is conducted under Episcopalian
auspices, there is none of that denomina-
tional narrowness in its management
that is sometimes seen.
The object of this school is not merely
instruction in its narrow sense, but true
education in its broadcast sense of de-
velopment and culture. 1t is not the
examining of a specified number of crude
and undigested facts into the brain, but
q training of the mind and body of the
pupil in order to fit her in the best way
for whatever duties she may be called
on to perform in after years. This |
consider to be the true object for any
school to have.
The teachers of the school were spe-
cially trained at Harvard University and
the Woman's College of Baltimore, and
a most able corps they make, administer,
ing the schools policy with efficiency ard
force. Something of their ability can
be judged from the fact that graduates
of the school have successfully passed
Harvard entrance and freshman exami-
nations.
English, French, German and Latin
languages and literature are taught as
valuable aids to literary appreciation and
general culture. Music is studied ac-
eording to the most approved modern
methods, Leschetzky's with the pianos,
Lalnberti's method of voice training,
and the Calm Paris-Cheve sight read
ing Elocution is successfully taught by
a specialist.
The health of the students is careful
ly looked after, SO that the best results
in scholarship with the least tear upon
strength and health may, be obtained.
No student has ever left the school
worsted I'M health. There has been no
case of serious illness among the pupils
since the school was established.
The home life is an especially pleasant
feature, the pupils being treated in all
respects as members of the family. The
rooms are cheerful, sunshiny, and well
ventilated, the piazza and halls broad.

B. F. TAYLOR.
Mechanical Genius Backed
by an Experience
OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
In the Manufacture OF Bug
gies and Carriages of
the Finest Make. | he
Senior Member of
the Firm.
OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

The success and wide reputation which
has been attained by the buggies manu-
featured by Taylor a. Cannady may BE-
attributed almost exclusively to the
style and perfection i'll the work
manship of all vehicles leaving their fac,
tory. We well know that this, the main
feature in the success of a manufactur,
ing concern of any character, must be
under the supervision of a man who has
had years of practical experience in the
business. and so it is with the firm of
Taylor a. Cannady.
Mr.. b. i. Taylor, the senior member of
the firm, was born in the Eastern part
OF North Carolina, and early in life be-
gan learning the trade of buggy and
carriage maker. He completed nls APP
premiership under Hackney Brothers at
Wilson.
Upwards of twenty years ago Mr.. Fay
Tor removed to Oxford and established III
4 very small way buggy, carriage, wa
oon and repair shop, which was but the
starting point of the present immense
concern, manufacturing exclusively pug
gies of the finest make, which can not DC
SURPASSED by any in the South.
Mr.. Taylor's long and practical ex-
,,erience of twenty-five years an the
business makes him thoroughly compe-
tent to discharge the duties OF superin-
tehdent Of the factory. He gives every
buggy his personal attention, ana a nav
of any character never escapes ms Wen
trained mechanical eye.

A Word to Our Readers.

The idea of the ladies of the
Methodist church editing the
ARDMoREITE was not conceived
till Thanksgiving day was almost
upon us, and with the religious
and social duties incident there
to, the time of editors and con-
tributors was wholly absorbed.
Afterward, the near approach of
Christmas, with the many things
of interest consequent to that
happy season, has further en-
croached upon our time.
But our contributors have been
reasonably prompt in meeting
our wishes, our publishers have
been very kind, patient and con-
siderate, so we herewith submit
to the public, the result OF our
two weeks labor, with the hope
that the many words OF counsel
to woman, given in these may be
Of lasting benefit.

ant is the work or every woman,

American Colonists in 1875, when
the same relentless foes tried to
subjugate them. Our sympa-
