sale of lots will be held in Lum-
berton Friday. These lots
have been surveyed from a part
of the Mcmillan land on the
south side of the Carthage road,
left bank of the river, and is
very desirable property that
many people have long wanted
to see put on the market. 1t is

this sale a $75 chest of silver and
two bags of gold will be given
away.

another thing that was strlkingly
noticeable in this exercise was
the fact that the pupils were not
allowed to read from their books.
Each one would look at his or
her line in the book and then
close the book and say it just as
though reading it out of the
book, and in this way the children
were able to get a great deal
more expression in what they
were saying than if they had
been looking in the book. Miss
Daniels then put them through
an exercise at the blackboard,
showing a plan she uses to teach
sound. 1t is also good. Miss
Daniels methods for teaching
children are certainly good and
much ahead of the average
methods used in primary depart
ments.
The next subject demanding
attention was e:Woman's Bet
terment Associations, and from
the information gathered from
the talks made there is no ques-
ton but that great good is being.
done through this organization.
Miss Kate Walker, president of
the association and a teacher in
the school at Lumber Bridge,
was present and she talked at
some length explaining the object
of the organization, etc. She
said that the principal object was
to make improvements in every
way possible, beautifying school
grounds, buildings, etc. Miss
Rebecca Ward of Lumberton,
secretary Of the association, reao
