Sure, card playing, dancing and theater going is absolutely all right when practiced with a little common sense and discretion. There is no more harm in a quiet game of bridge or cards at the club or in the home than there is in any other pastime. The trouble begins when some rabbit brained son of Cain hops up and yells, “Let’s get a little pep in it,” and dis plays a wad of money and a lot of poor judgment. Who has any opposition to offer when someone suggests a dance when said dance isn't an exhibition of the latest thing in the way of a “toddle?” Nothing that we ever had the privi lege of witnessing was more graceful than a couple who had mastered the intricacies of the old time dances. This present day thing that masquer ades under the name of dancing and consists of a series of twisting, shak ing, grappling contortions to the nerve-racking strains of a syncopated orchestra, sawing out tunes that would bring thoughts of the eternal ly damned, is no blood relation of real dancing. There is no harmony, no grace, no unity of motion in it, noth ing’, in fact, but movement and more movement by a pair of jazz maniacs clutched ai each other’s arms with a strangle hold. A motion picture theater properly conducted and exhibiting first class productions is an asset, not a liability, to any town. Recreation, rest, enter tainment, education are all obtained there for a mere pittance. But sup pose you should see your poor, long suffering pastor there. Without fur ther ado you would boil over and be gin to sizzle around the edges. Friend pastor’s stock, in your estimation, would take a sudden drop. But think it over calmly and see if you don’t get a different view of the proposition. A preacher has to work for a living the same as you and I, and he, there fore, is entitled to rest and recreation, just as w r e are. Too many people want a minister of the gospel to set himself upon a different plane from ours altogether. He isn’t supposed to enjoy the pleasures that other men do but, after all is said and done, a preacher is human and he enjoys the some pleasures of life as anyone else does. Very few of us lead so conse crated a life as does the average min •. but still we seem to think that if hg should indulge in the same id ensures wo do he w r ould no longer he fitted to teach the Bible. That being the case how few r of us have art outside chance to reach the Onldon Portals of Paradise after the li+’e the ordinary citizen leads and his neglect of the spiritual phase of it if a nreanhor is eternally damned the moment he sticks his head inside the door of a picture show? PEOPLE WILL TALK. Samuel Dodge, in Ex. You may get through the w T orld, but Tuvil 1 be very slow T , If you listen to all that is said as you go; You’ll be worrried and fretted, and kept in a stew — For meddlesome folks must have something to do. And people will talk. If quiet and modest, you’ll have it presumed, That your humble position is only as sumed— You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or else you’re a fool; But don’t get excited—keep perfectly cool— For people will talk. And then, if you show the least bold ness of heart, Or a slight inclination to take your ow r n part, They will call you an upstart, conceit ed, and vain; But keep straight ahead—don’t stop to explain— For people will talk. If threadbare your dress or old-fash ioned your hat, Some one will surely take notice of that, And hint rather strong that you can’t pay your way; But don’t get excited, whatever they say— For people will talk. If you dress in the fashion, don’t think to escape, For they criticise then in a different shape; You’re ahead of your means, or your tailor’s unpaid; But mind your own business—there’s naught to be made — For people will talk. Now, the best way to do is to do as you please; For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ease. Os course you will meet with all sorts of abuse; But don’t think to stop them —it ain’t any use— For people will talk. BURNED IN. There is an impressive story of a man going through a great pottery and stopping to watch a young wo man painting with careful and deli cate touches a beautiful flower upon a costly vase. He remaked presently that it was slow work. “Yes, very slow.” she said. “How do you make it stay?” he ask el. “You have, been working on it for hours and with one touch of my finger T could sweep off every trace of it. How do you make the impression remain after vou have painted it?” “Oh,” she said, “I do nothing more to it. but when I have . finished painting the flowers on it, a man will come and take it to the fire. The impression is made once for all, but it has to be burned in. After it has passed through the fire, no power on earth can take it off.”—Anna Bry ant. LOOK AT YOUR LABEL NORTH CAROLINA EVENTS.

Did you ever think what a strange letter “S” is? it is a serpent in disguise. Listen —you can hear it hiss, it is the wizard of the alphabet. It gives possession and multiplies inde dennitely by its touch. It changes a pear into a spear, a word into a sword laughter into slaughter. Farmers have to watch it closely. It will make scorn of his corn, and reduce every peck to a peck. Sometimes he finds it useful. If he needs more room for his stock it will change a table into a stable for him; and if he is short of hay h.« can get a row of tacks and it will turn them into stacks. He must be careful, however, not to let his nails lie loose, for the serpent’s breath will turn them into snails. If he wishes to see an engine about his farm, he need not have any coal or water to work it; let the serpent glide before his horses , and the team will turn into steam. If ever you get hurt, call the serpent to your aid. Instantly you pain will be in Spain. Be sure to take it with you the next time you climb the mountain, if you desire to witness a marvel; it will make the peak speak. But do not let it come near you while you are reading now, it will make the tale stale.—Selected. FOR OVER 40 YEARS HALF’S CATARRH MEDICINE has been used successfully in the treatment of Catarrh.

LOOK AT YOUR LABEL {SHOULD FERTILIZE j TO GET GOOD CROP j 11 1 Stable Manure, Soil Building | Crops, or Commercial Fer- f tilizer Necessary. Most farmers can spare enougt x manure from their other crops to fen I . tilize properly a one-fourth acre gar J den plot, but in some sections, espe 1 dally near towns, manure la no longei | to be had'in quantity and other meant | must be found for fertilizing garden 1 Soil’s. In brief, states the United | States Department of Agriculture, at I least three methods of adding fertilitj | to the soil. First, by the application a es manure; second, by the use of sol] | building crops, and, third, by commer | Clal fertilizers. No one method is aa I good as any two or the three com* I blned, and if we are to get the best | results from the use of commercial i fertilizer a reasonable amount of ma- | nure or organic matter must be in th< 1 soil. I The amount of manure required will I 'depend entirely upon the soil Itself, | but very few cases are found where 1 :the use of manure on gardens is bein| \ overdone. The same might be said < about the turning under of manure \ crops or soil building crops. Even the < weeds that grow upon the surface dur- Lng the late summer, aside from their seeds, are often valuable for working *) into the soil. The method of applying | the manure will also depend upon lo- ] cal conditions, but as a rule manure < that has been piled and thoroughly j composted will give better results than that which is in the raw state. Too much cannot be said in favor of the compost pile by means of which ! equal parts of manure and soli or \ sods, which are even better are piled j to rot. This compost heap should be ; turned once or twice during the win ter months and the material applied j to the garden as a top dressing dur ing the spring. Ten tons of this kind of material will not be too much for Intensive Fertilization. 1 the ordinary one-fourth acre gardes. \ Commercial fertilizers are used for j adding plant food to the garden and j give best results when used In con junction with stable manure or com post. Commercial gardeners often ase , as much as 4,000 pounds to the acre for special crops like celery, but gen erally speaking 400 or 900 pounds of a fertilizer containing 3 or 4 per cent j nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid *< and 2 to 4 per cent potash, will be all • that Is needed on a one-fourth-acre' E garden. Fertilizers anould be used most heavily on corn, potatoes, cab bage and the root crops and more lightly on beans, peas and toraateea, SHARP TOOLS The majority of gardeners enjoy the task more when the tools are sharp.
