The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-11-18
A PROCLAMATION:

'The season Of the year has re-
turned when, in accordance with the
reverent custom established by our
forefathers, the people of the United
States are wont to meet in their usu-
al places of worship on a day Of
Thanksgiving appointed by the civil
magistrate, to return thanks to God
for the great mercies and benefits
which they have enjoyed.
During the past year we have
been highly blessed. NO great calami-
ties of food or tempest or epidemic
sickness have befallen us. We have
lived in Quietness, undisturbed by
wars or rumors of wars. Peace and
the plenty Of bounteous crops and Of
great Industrial production animate
a cheerful and resolute people to all
the renewed energies and benefcent
industry and material and moral pro-
gress. 1t is altogether fitting that
we should humbly, gratefully &C
knowledge the Divine source Of these
blessings.
Therefore, / appoint Thursday.
the twenty-fifth day of November, as
the day of general Thanksgiving for
the people to lay aside their usual
vacations, to repair to their churches
and unite in appropriate services and
thanks to Almighty God"
(Signed)
civilian H. TAFT"

Making Hard Milkers Easy.

One of the trials of the dairy stable or yard is the presence in the herd of hard mixers, which waste time, weary muscles, and dlshearten beginners. James Weir, an East Middlesex. Ont. cheese factory patron, always on the alert for improvements in practice. has made a couple of hard mixers easy by very simple method, which he passes on to other readers of "The Farmers Advocate" who may be similarly troubled. He tried 1t first on an old COW that for years had been a tough one" to milk, and then on yaluab le heifer that he was inclined to part with for the same reason. The trouble he found just at the orifice of the teat, the hole being so small as to let through only very fine stream of milk. The problem was how to make it larger, without causing some other injury. Grasping the teat firmly with one hand he pressed

Four Points to be
 Considered.

IIielt dIS 1OuI E)OIIIOS UlIdU should be considered in selecting a school to attend.
 First: The schools financial standing, for a student does not want to attend a school today that will pass out of existence tomorrow. The Tyler Conner cial College of Tyler, Texas, has paid in capital and surplus of over $60,000.00. It is owned and operated by men who have proven themselves successful business men.
 Second: The moral surround ings. Our teachers are ladies and gentlemen of highest char acter. We look after our stu dents while in school, we en- courage them in honesty and up rightness. We teach them that true success is built on the foun- dation of honesty, a square deal to everyone.
 Third: The systems and meth Ods used. We use the famous Byrne systems of Shorthand and Bookkeeping, which enables us to turn out a better bookkeeper or stenographer in half the time and at half the cost of other schools teaching other systems. We have the exclusive control of these systems in this state. Therefore the Byrne systems are a case of sour grapes" to our competitors. The fact that we turn out better stenograph- CTS in three months than they can in six, and place our gradu- ates into better positions than they can, is what should interest the prospective student. Read our catalog. see the indorsments of hundreds of students and business men.
 Fourth: Our ability to place you in a good position; after we have thoroughly prepared you you then need our assistance ir securing good position with g responsible firm, where you car earn a good salary We realize that in order to succeed our stu dents must succeed; the greater their success the greater Oul success; their success reflects credit upon our institution anc causes their friend to follow II their footsteps. What is tho use of your attending a school si1 months to get an education tha can be had in our school in three months? The other fellow ha. not the advantages of our mos modern systems. therefore, it i utterly impossible for him t make a good stenographer O bookkeeper of you in three O. four months.
