An announcement that will carry
with it the regret of the entire state,
the officers of the department of state
and the more private citizenship of Ra-
leigh is that of Professor Harold H.
Hume, who, for the last two years.

varied talents and the ability that
has characterized his work profession

and greater position with the added
values that an increased salary brings.

college st. Anne de Bellevue, near Mon
treal, and the acceptance of such a
coll 10 TO tho hood Of Tho an VIM ~

opening Of the new college will be OBJ
served in the fall of 1907. AND 2rofss-
.sor Hume will be occupied with duties

been given to the work of the North
Carolina department Of agriculture
and the Agricultural and Mechanical
college here. This work was of course
the foundation, or Introductory type,
and his has been richly in a helpful
fruitage to the entire state and the de-
partment of agriculture. The board
regrets to have such a resignation, and
there is only the feeling that another
section is so endowed with more mean

such an expenditure as this. Profess
o Hume has been engaged in this
work for the last dozen years and has
qualified at every post. There is o.
a point that speaks to this gentleman,
which is wrapped in the point that the
scenes Of new labor are removed only
80 miles from the place of his birth
in eastern Canada. The people of Ra-
leigh will regret to learn that it is not
likely that Mrs. Hume will return 10
the city before the departure of her
talented husband, owing to the fact
that she will be kept in New York.
