The Old-Time Darlfey.
(By losie Frazee Cappleman.)
Thev are going. fast they're going
rom the old-lime cabin door,
the places now that know them
Will know them soon no more;
Aye, the "Uncle" and th(T"Aunty"
With the bygones soon will be,
And no more of "Marxe and Missus"
Will there come to you and me.
No more the crooning "Mammy,"
Softly swaying too and fro,
With her love unchanged, enduring,
Will the Southland's wee ones know,
No more that careless sing-song.
In measure quaint and droll,
Will o'erflow from hearts so happy
Till of music seemed each soul.
No more that admiration,
Aud that dart ev-pride so great,
In all the (leecy acres,
Of his master's vast estate,
No more that fond affection
For the househnld on the hill,
For the trusty old-time darky
Had no equal?nor e'er will.
Ho more that joy, the wildest
That a rustic race e'er knew.
When the Christmas feasts were ready
And that day no work to do;
Or the marriage of "Young Missus"
To some magnate of the land.
When the darkey shared the glory
Of the Bravest of that band.
No more that profoundest,
when "Ole Mars" or "Missus" died
Or the baby from the "big house"
Was lowered by their side,
For the darkey mourned as truly
For the master and his kind
As the faithful in the annals
Of grief we ever find.
And to me one good old "Aunty;'
Still is spared, tho' brief her days,
And I oft in silence wonder
At her dear, old darky ways;
Still, when sickness comes, or sorrow,
Other friends may faint and fall,
But "Black Mammy" never falters?
She is faithful thro' it all.
With a heart surcharged with sorrow
Do I watch them pass away.
For the Old South with them endeth.
And the New assumes Its sway?
With the passing of the old darkey
Of that good old golden time,
I passeth out forever
That fair epoch of our clime.

?Every farmer who provides
himself with as lovely a residence as
his means will permit, surrounded
with a neat lawn and a well cultivated
farm, is a blessing to any community.
This county may consider
itself lucky indeed to have so many
industrious farmers of thi&stanip,

our oitizens taking active interest in

?There is a minister who appro- tciates
the editor. At a recent editoria!
convention he offered the fol- c
lowing toast: "To save an editor ?
from starvation, take his paper and <
pay for it promptly. To save him ^
from bankruptcy, advertise in bis pa- p.
per liberally, To save him from des- ^
pair send him every item of news of C
which you can get hold. To save
him from profanity, tfrite your cor- 4
respoudence plainly on one side of 4
the sheet and send it in as soon as 4
possible. To save him from mis 4
takes, bury him. Dead people are 4
the outy ones that never make raia 4
takes."' 4
?AVe notice in the Postmaster ^
General's report a suggestion that 4
people writing letters should sign "
their full names and addressee to "
their letters, and there would never 4
be a letter but what could be re.
turned if it failed to reach the person
it was intended for. The re- 4
port suggests a better way than that
too, but one which is a little more
expensive. That ie to have a small
card printed on the corner ol the
envelope. This will cost only a
trifle and if the letter cannot be delivered
to the address, or the address
should be wrong, the letter
would come back in the course of
I five to seveu days, instead of going
through the dead letter office, and
finally being returned to the writer
after a lapse of two weeks or more.
The latter suggestion is much the
best, and can be adapted at a very
small expense.
How the No-Penoe Law Will
Help.
One of our exchanges gives as a
reason for opposing the no.fence law
that "while other counties that have
adopted the no-fence policy put
scaroelv no beef and pork on the
market, Brunswick county yet has
ber herds cf cattle, her flocks ot
sheep, and every year sells wool,
pork, and beef in increasing values."
Perhaps. The adoption of a nofence
law means, in moat cases, a
temporary decrease in the amount of
live stock kept; but it is well to remember,
on the other hand, that in
the sections where the most and
the best live stock is raised no one
would ever drearu of turning his animals
out in the highways to hunt
their own livinsr. It is a literal im- J
possibility to raise good stock when
under free range conditions. The |
plea of our exchange for a better |
grade of live stock, will necessarily
be fruitless so ion? as all stuck are
permitted to run at large. Good animuls
can not be expected from scrub j
bulls and razor-back boars. Then
there is the cattle tick, uud it is there
to remain while the fr-e range re j
m tins. These condition mav do
for folks who are content to raise a|
few surplus hogs and cattle of poor [
quality; hut if the peopl e of any |
county expect ever to have a live |
stock industry worthy i.t the name, j
they may just as well realize that
two of tiie first steps must he to slop
the perpetuation of tbeir kind by
sc.Ub sires, and lo eradicate the
cattle tick. To do either, the nofaticelaw
is necessary.?Raleigh (N.
C.) Progressive Farmer.
