N. C, May 3rd.-
We wrote you last week but
after we had sealed and directed
what we had written we be-
thought ourselves, and behold it
Thursday and not
day, and as your weekly comes
out on Thursday morning of
course we were one day too late.
So we decided that we would be
on time this week and send this
in on Tuesday and if in you
wisdom you see fit to publish
this, with any of last week's
that you may deem proper, then
let it come.
On Thursday evening of last
week about twenty of our
young men and fair
with a sufficiency of the older
people of the community as
met here about sun-
set expecting to go to Ayden to
hear Rev. Mr. of Wash-
preach. Because of those
things that are at times
able the whole crowd were dis
appointed in going to Ayden, but
were not disappointed in having
splendid social time. We all
gathered at the home of
Jackson and were highly enter-
by several recitations
rendered by Miss Lizzie Hines,
our very efficient teacher. Mrs.
Carrie and Miss Pearl
Jackson gave us a few choice
pieces that were well rendered,
then we had songs and a real
good time until o'clock told us
that it was time for working
people to repair to their own
homes. All went home feeling
that there are more ways than
one for people to get good out of
this fleeting life.
Friday of this week will be
commencement day with the
graded school at ton.
Prof. Carlile, of Wake Forest,
will deliver the literary address
at Dinner will
on the grounds at p. m. and a
game of ball at p. m. The
commencement exercises will be
at p. m,, so the day will be
well filled in. Prof. Brothers and
his of teachers have done a
splendid year's work there, and
we hope they will be retained
for another year.

The Exhibit at the Colored School Fri
clay Afternoon.
The teachers at the colored
graded school held a most inter-
exhibit in the school Fri-
day afternoon. It consisted of a
display in one room of the work
done in the grades. Specimens
of written work in all the grades
were neatly displayed, and to a
large number of people who at-
tended, it was a surprise to see
how well it was Their i
work was neat, readable, and
appeared to be directed by very
competent teachers.
In an adjoining room was the
exhibit of the work in sewing
and cooking. This was the first
thing of its kind bur people here
had the opportunity of seeing,
and those who attended were
greatly pleased. Around the
walls were hung scores of gar-
which the girls have
made. The sewing was neat,
and it was apparent to everyone
who it that its value and
importance to the pupils were
very great.
The class in cooking had a
large table set, all linen and
and dishes in places, and on it
were specimens of the work in
cooking, such as rolls, tarts, gin-
snaps, cakes, etc. The visitors
examined the work,
the teachers on the
of the specimens. The teachers
showed the visitors how the
work was carried on, explaining
the various steps in
teaching the cooking and the
arts, and what they hope
accomplish as th-i courses are
adopted and developed.
All in all, it was something
now, in the right direction,

approval all who saw their

A. M. COLLEGE NOTES.
West Raleigh, N. C, May
Excavations for the new
and chemical building
were begun this week. This
building will fill a lung felt
and it is to be hoped that it
will be ready for occupancy early
next fall.
Plans for future of our
campus were recently prepared
by an eminent landscape
and accepted I the
tees. All future buildings will
conform to these pans, thus
tending to unify a hitherto
massing of buildings.
The entire college farm was
planted with cover
grain and crimson clover during
the winter. This modern con-
of keeping something
growing on the land all the time
has many advantages. It
vents washing and loss of plant
food by leeching and furnishes a
rich covering of humus when
turned under in the early spring
prior to the planting of the
crops.
The recent cold snaps did not
prove very injurious to the farm
crops here. Cotton was, here,
as elsewhere, most affected, con-
cold is stunting it and
nurturing the lice.
