From days Gone By August 15, 1912

August 15, 1912.

    Warthen College is getting ready for another big year. Founded in 1888 and chartered in 1891, this institution has made a record during nearly a quarter of a century of which she is proud. The young men and women who have gone out from her walls are among the most successful of our country. Plans are being made to provide here better advantages for students than has been offered before. A boarding department is being equipped during the summer that will afford accomodations at a resonable rate, and boarding students will be under the most careful management.

   The course of study is comprehensive and thorough, embracing english, ancient and modern languages, mathmatics, science, history, and mental and moral philosophy. Special courses in music, business training, expression, physical culture and pedagogy are offered. No extra charge will be made for normal training. Each of these departments will be under the management of instructors well equipped for the special work undertaken.

  The faculty is composed of men and women who have been well prepared in the leading colleges and universities of the country for the position they hold. Our health record is unsurpassed by that of any school. The college building is steam-heated ans supplied with electric lights, and the best artesian water. Precautions will be taken by the president, Rev. J. C. G. Brooks, and members of the faculty to promote the comfort and health of students. Rates of tuition are as resonable as can be made with the advantages offered. Students desiring places in the boarding department will write and engage rooms at once.

   Messrs. Smith & Kavakos have filled two necessities for Wrightsville; one, by opening of their restaurant, known as the Busy Bee, and the other by their Candy Kitchen. The delicacy of the consumers of candy is such that demands purity and cleanliness. Both qualifications which are assured manufacture their confections from the pure granulated sugar.

   Capt. Jas. H. Hicks of Fitizgerald, is a welcome visitor to his old home here, and looking good after being critically ill. Miss Maud Lou Sterling returned from there sick. She had just accepted a position of bookkeeper with a firm there. Mr. E. S. Price and family have moved from Kite to Wrightsville to the home of Mr. & Mrs. J.J.L. Outlaw. The infant of Mr. & Mrs. Carl Renfroe died last monday here at their home after an extended illness.

   J. J. L. Outlaw, collector and inspector, informs the citizens of Wrightsville are required to have their premisies cleaned up and put in good sanitary condition at once. I will be on my inspection rounds within the next few days and premisies found to be in bad condition cases will be made against the occupants.

   Mrs. Jane Tuttle gives fair warning. Martin Ross and family are under contract with me, and any and all persons are hereby forbidden to hire or harbor either Ross or any member of his family.
