WHITTIER HOME PAPER.
The Division of Publications of the
North Carolina Extension Service be
lieves that the home papers of this
State are rendering a real service to
their readers by giving the news
about other farmers and facts about
the world in which farmers are al
ways interested. With all that lias
been written about country newspap
ers, though, it seems curious that it
was only recently attention was call
ed to the fact that one of the most
loved American poets years ago paid
a tribute to the country weekly which,
for color and vividness, perhaps has
not been excelled by any of the mod
ern writers.
It is not known just who is entitl
ed to credit for bringing the poem to
light; it is several weeks now since
it first began appearing in the ex
j changes and the editor of the State
college and Department of Agriculture
1 is indebted t othe editor of the Cornell
University so rbringing it to his at
trition. The poem is part of Whittier’s
longer poem, “Snowbound”, and is as
follows:
hist the floundering carrier bore
The village paper to our door.
Lo! Broadening outward as we read
To warmer zones th’ horizon spread,
1 ■ panoramic length unrolled
' > saw the marvels that it told.
Welcome to us its week-old news , j
Its corner for the rustic Muse,
its monthly gauge of snow and rain,
T ts record mingling in a breath
The wedding bell and dirge of death;
! te, and love-lorn tale;
ulprit sent ot jail;
T ts h e and cry of stolen and lost,
Its vendue sales and goods at cost, |
j And traffic calling loud for gain.
: We feU the stir of hall and street,
c that round us beat;
The chill embargo of the snow
Was melted in the genial glow;
Wide swung again our ice-locked door,
And all the world was ours once more.

When the long summer clays come
and the children are out of school and
folks are not worrying over fire wood
and such, then is when having a good
time and taking life easy gets into our
bones. Mighty little would be done in
this world if we were not driven to
it by necessity. People who live up
north and have to work all the time
to make a living and keep up appear
ances call we folks who live down in
this lazy country lazy, because we
are not hitting it up on all four cylin
ders all the time. For my part I am
glad that we can take a little off once
in a while. Everybody knocks off at
noon on Saturday and cleans up and
puts on his Sunday hat and shoes and
goes to the postoffice and down to the
bank and about, aud at the same time
can see the neighbors and inquire
around about the crops and the sick.
After harvest is over and the summer
work done up, we all are planning to
get off to the mounts where we were
i last year. You always enjoy a trin
j like that more if you have to w ork
j pretty hard to get things ready. That
j is not saying that work time is over
jin these parts. Things are just get
-1 ting to going good by June the 10th.
Snaps are just a getting in and the
roastenears are four weeks off yet.
There will be a sight of sweat wiped
j off before this country is assured of
i plenty to eat another winter.
The young folks who have been in
! school all the year are at home hav
i ing a great time. Picnics and parties
and such are all the rage. These
boys and girls need to put in a lit
tle work too along with the fun. These
girls will soon be grown and studying
about getting married and don’t know
yet a thing about how much work it
takes to keep a place going. I am
glad to see some of the boys getting
into old clothes and getting out and
i helping. A lot of hard work and softie
i baseball will make out a pretty good
vacation and when school begins again
in September they will feel more bke
getting down to brass tacks and im
proving the great opportunities they
are having.
This community is going into the
school house business in earnest and
the great new building here in town
that cost $75,000 is the biggest thing
that we have ever taken up. It is
money mighty well spent to have the I
best for our boys and girls but
with all that if home training fails the
hope of the nation disappears. The
fine art of living is not gotten from
school books and lectures on the the
ory of evolution. Heart training comes
in the home. The fate of the future
is in the hands of the mothers and
home makers of the land. With all
their faults, I am glad that this gen
eration is not unmindful of its re
sponsibility and you need not expect
that the next will fall below the high
standards of citizenship set for us by j
the men who laid the foundation of
our great country. (
We old timers get knocked about
in our ways of thinking sometimes
but one is liable to forget how it was
when he was coming up. But we will
stand for old landmarks. What is
right is right and the times don’t
change it. A new way of doing a
thing is not always wrong or the old
way right. It is best to maks your
self fit-the place where you can do the
most. It is hard though to teach an
old dog new tricks and I never have
yet been able to put on one of those
gathered-in-the-back coats without
hooking silly.
