Piedmont Banner: Henry
Bostick, wellknown colored man
who has long been a citizen Of
this county, died Friday of pneu-
monia and was buried Sunday
in the Piedmont cemetry. Henry
was one of the old time darkies.
A Tennessian by birth, he had the
rather unique distinction of hav-
ing been a servant to General
Nathan Bedford Forest, the Con-
federate cavalry leader. Henry
always spoke of the general in
terms Of affectionate regard, and
he voted the Democratic ticket to
THE end of his life. Hewas held
in esteem by the white people OF
town, and quite a number Of them
attended his burial.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
Estate Supt. Carrington.l

enforce now, just as the schools
close. The teacher is not entitled
to the last months salary until
every report is properly made.
The term report consists of more
than enrolment, attendance and
hardness. 1t must, under the
law, include a detailed statement
of what each child studied, how
far he progressed and how well
he did his work.
This is the season for school
commencements. First came the
closing of the rural schools after
six, seven and eight months
terms, then the. rural final exam
nations and graduations by
county. In many counties, grad
uation is made a great school
rally day. 1t begets interest and
enthusiasm in the schools. Every
county should make much OF
rural school graduation. 1t will
mark an epoch in the lives of
many country boys and girls and
tend TO hold them in school long,
er and to more faithful effort
while in school.
In recent year, standard in ef-
ficiency in teachers have ad-
vanced at the rate Of ten per cent
a year. The only way teacher
can keep abreast of the progress
is to spend a summer now and
then in good summer school.
All the State Normal Schools and
the Teachers College maintain
high grades of work. No teacher
will make mistake in attending
any of them. Besides the excel
lent opportunities and grades to
raise certificate, in due time the
teacher can finish good normal
training and thus secure profess
sional recognition.
The educational ideal in Ger
many is scholarship; in England
culture; in the United States,
service. Whether these educa-
tional aims are results or
causes of the chief characteristics
of each nation, is immaterial,
We believe in scholarship and in
culture, but more in being able to
do things. 1t is not enough to
see things in proper relations.
The greatest virtue is in doing
the right thing in the right way
at the right time. Now abideth
scholarship, culture and service
in the schools, these three; but
the greatest of these is service.
When the school closes, let it
be some ones duty to care for
the school house, grounds, library
and other property during vaca-
ton. Don't let things become
dilapidated. 1t will be we'll to
have a committee of girls who
will make regular visits to the
house and see that everything is
kept in good condition on the in

boys to keep the premises in

Colonel Ward came into Scott

To lose one Of our best factories would
be calamity which the people Of Beld-

hoped that some plan may be formulated
TO clear up the situation and head off
propositions that are coming to w. d.
Ballou from the Saginaw board Of trade
in their efforts to induce him to move his
manufacturing industry to that city.
The situation is that Mr.. Ballou's bust
ness in basket making, canvass coal bags
and cement mixers is fast outgrowing his
present quarters and he must have more
room at once.
The Saginaw people have 100000 in
their Golfers to dole out to new factories,
and they are reaching out after them.
They have investigated and find that Mr..
Ballou has one of the best and they want
it bad and have given him a hint tha,

Mr.. Ballou wants site here to build on

During the Present Year an Evil

Eelding. or the Silk city, as it is often
called, has experienced a wonderful
growth during the past twelve months
and even now the sound of the artisan S
hammer is heard in our midst. Prosperity
with a capital "P" has been handed about
with such lavishness that he who would
could see it with h unclothed eye.
A sixty-fve Thousand dollar water
works plant has been completed and in
stalled. An eight thousand dollar school
house has been built in the first ward,
seven thousand five hundred dollars have
been expended in installing new and need
ed systems Of sewerage; several hundred
dollars have been invested in new cement
sidewalks and other public improvements
of one kind and another have been made.
Beside the large outlay in the way of
public Improvements large number Of
residences have been built, some of them
Of high value. Among the number COM

note the following: A large residence
built by Vim F. Sandell costing several
thousand dollars. fine house and barn
built by DR.. E. w. Lirle, the barn being Of
cement blocks and the house of modern
architecture; Justin Farr has erected a
number Of cosy houses; Sumner Wilson's
house which will run into the thousand
