and horses, and when the conVen-
ton got down to work both church

eager listeners.
Mr.. @. w. RAIDER, president OF
the association, presided and dis
patched business in a most salts
factory way, calling upon the
choir, which was large and well
organized, to fill in the spaces be
tween speeches with music. The

superior and deserves high praise.

livered by Mr.. A. s. Montgomery

were DR.. Chas. Manly and Rev. j.
Olin Knott. DIR. Manly spoke at
the morning hour or Chow to
Make Good Teachers Better and
Bad Teachers Good" He said the
marks Of good teacher were; The
teacher has something to teach !;
has interest In those taught; and
has definite purpose in teaching.
Mr.. Knott spoke ON 'sHOw to
Gain and Hold the Young Men. "
He said: What we all can do is
to be truly interested in young
men; get their viewpoint of
things; appreciate their aspira-
lions; feel as they feel: this is bound
to interest them more than merely
being a boy with boys. The
teacher OF young men must give
the class something &c think
about; must never let 9 member
of the class be from under the
immediate eye of the teacher.
Rev. j. P. Smith, Jr. spoke
On "The Use and Abuse of Lesson
Helps" and made some good
points.
In the absence of some who

New Town Council Sworn In at
Last Meeting

4
Last Meeting
Mayor S. B. Walker and his new
council, com posed of Messrs. OR.
Beaver, A. G. Hutton, G. w.
Ofiighter, Hunter Pendleton and
Paul NJ. Penick, held their frat
meeting Thursday evening, Sep
TENDER 7th. The only member
absent was Mr.. w. p. Irwin. The
counciImen present took the oath
of Office before the clerk, Mr.. j.
W. McClung, notary public.
Mayor Walker had previously
taken the oath of Office before
Mlss Stella B. Deisher, notary
public.
The finance committee of the
former council reported that they
had examined and audited the
accounts of Treasurer j. w. Moore
from March 81, 1905, to September
l, 1905, and the same were found
correct with vouchers for all
Disbursements.
The committee on buildings,
water and lights was directed to
have water meters put in all the
churches of the town, and the
treasurer was instructed to
ascertain the amount of water
necessary to run the organ motors
at the said churches at all regular
services. This amount is to be
deducted from the water bills of
the churches at the end of each
quarter. All water used in excess
of such services is to be paid for
at the regular meter rates. By
this action the council wishes to
furnish water without cost to
churches for their regular
services.
A resolution was adopted that If
the property owners on the south
east side of jackson avenue be-
tween Mcdowell and White streets
will give 8 to 81 feet from their
front yards, free of charge, in order
that said avenue can be made
wider, the committee was instruct.
ed to have the fences removed and
placed back 8 or 81 feet and put
down a w"lk of crushed rock, with
wood curbing, without cost to the
property owners. A stonewall
will be built in front of the
property of Prof. S. L. More
land.
The payment of bill of $43.05,
presented by the Misses Davidson
for fumigating their premises
after case of smallpox IN their
house, was, on the recommends
tion of the town attorney, refus-
ed.
On account of the great volume
Of other pressing business before
the council, the election OF
treasurer, policemen and other adj
officers, was deferred
to the next meeting.
There is little change in the
personnel of the new administra-
ton. Councilmen W. C. Stuart
and Hugh Wight, who declined
reelection, are succeeded by DR..
Hunter Pendleton and Mr.. A. @
Hutton.
