. t .- THE HOME CIRCLE. A Column Devoted To Tired Mothers As They Join The Home Circle At Evening Tide. THE HOME LIGHT. The light of home's a wondrous light So tender is its shining. So soft it follows through the night, Our weary road outlining Though lonely and for years we roam. Far from the ones who love us, Yet ever shines the light ol home," . ' Like God's grace spread above us. The light of home's a wondrous light, Though life it follows seeming, Yet when with age the hair is white, Clear in the front 'tis glean. ir.g. It shines from where our loved ones are; Oh, this is Love's divining! -And through the gates of heauen ajar At last we see it shining. " , "' No one can so inspire a man to noble purposes as a noble woman, and no one so thorough ly degrades a man as a wife of unworthy tendencies, ,. . Thf. table in the home is the test of character. : If there is a .disagreeable one in th family, the disagreeableness shows it self at the table. Jhere the children show whether they are selfish or sacrificing, polite or impolite. Table manners reflect the condition of the home. " T H E greatest blessing that I tever came to this nation is that an elevated literature. The urintinp: press is the mightiest &-encv on earth for good and j for evil. Standing as we do chin deep in fictitious literature, it is; ji most favorable sign among our ! readers that' this department is .so highly appreciated by a maj-' oritv of them. - The good infiu- ence of a moral newspaper in our jnidst will live long after the ' .pdftnr has nassed to his reward. ! w"v- i HOME LIFE. Every home should be made tthe happiest place on earth. The example of home life should be pure and ennobling. It is in the home that the heart is molded and character formed for eterni ty. Take a low, miserable home .and watch the results which fol low. Children reared ' in such homes are led into vice and crime. The worst criminals in our land have been made so by bad home examples. Take a refined and pure home, " surrounded with pleasant as sociates and good examples, with the ordinary comforts of life, and you will seldom see the chil dren of such a home going astray. Refined literature, sweet -music, happy associates should be the environment of every home of our land. Poverty need not be a bar to such a home if the influences and examples are only pure and good.; How f aith fnllv then should every home strive to make that place of ;abode the richest in virtue ard .the dearest of all places on earth. HER PRICE. Every woman has her price, tand she is wise "who puts it above .rubies. The" husband, who right fly values his wife will not cheap en her bv rough usage, or tarnish her beauty by requiring the do- -mestic duties to be heavier than .she can perform. We know a couple who have been married fivp. vears. and today the husband ; is as choice of his wife as the day ithey were married. This spring wppIcs visit. Vi Irrl and leav- :takmg their little girl and ieav incr him to keep house. He knew ithat she would return home iworn out, with her house to .houe visiting. Instead of letting work pile up, he hired fruit can ned away from home, and canned -v three gallons of berries himself, ; nd' did his own washing. A neighbor baked for him and the day.vbefore his' wife's return he or4red enough to last three ,da.Vs, because he said she would be tired. " A SHORT LETTER FROM COLLINSVILLE G. A. Branscom Made Seventeen Bales Of Cotton On Fourteen Acres--C . W . Williams' Big Hog Oth'er Notes. Rufus Bryant's new house is about finished. Most ' of the farmers in this section ha v e finished sowing wheat. Vance Giles has moved to the Bishop farm near Spartanburg, S. C. G. E. Feagan is teaching the public school at this place. Ed. is a good teacher. ' Thanksgiving; services were held at the Green Creek church last Thursday by Rev. R. J. Tate. C. W. Williams killed a hog the other day that weighed four hundred and twenty-five (425) pounds. W. M. Barnett and C. C. Hins dale have the contract to rebuild D. V. Rhodes house. They be gan work Monday. . , Rev. G. A. Branscom made seventeen bales of cotton on fourteen acres of land this year. This is the kind of farming all our farmers should do. Planting fifty acres to make twenty-five bales is not good farming and, of course, does not pay. There were no dirty dishes piled up, no sour dish cloths; the 'floor was clean, and everything in pecfect order. And this was on a farm, in the spring when there might have been good reasons for refusing her the privilege o f going. But h e knew her price was above rubies and valued her accordingly. The husband who s has married the right kind of a girl, ought to be as much the home maker as she and if in the little acts of kind- . . . ... ness he shows his appreciation, there is little danger of misun derstanding each other. PLEASANT MEMORIES. About the only thing that we can take with us on that journey that lies ahead of each one is our memories. And, as m so many other things in life, the j thing that is of such great im portance to us is the thing that is entirely beyond our control. We may'plan to have a delight ful summer but disease and trouble may pile up about us, un til the world is black with misery. We may plan to visit a friend, with the brightest hopes and an ticipations and . we may meet treatment that sends ' us home grieved and heartsore, with memories that will always be bitterness to us. But there is one thing we can do. We can resolve to give to others all the pleasant memories that it lies in our power to give. And many of these things are so simple. I know of a big six foot man, busy with the week's .... work, who will tell you ot a sunny soutn room mai is me nrnst wonderlul memory oi his boyhood, because when he went to that home he, and the little boy friend could "whittle all they wanted to" on the hardwood floor. Such a little thing,) but such a pleasant memory, v ; A -bunch of flowers sent to a sick friend. A bit of poetry plipped from a weekly paper, may be; a gift of a few; flower seeds, a pleasant word; a little bit of cheer here and there, - all these may have the pleasant memory that last forever. ' But let the words be real, no pert or sham, compliment can ever touch the heart. It is the real that we feel and that counts. But to give pleasant memories to others, we must be true and good at heart. We cannot be selfish, or vain, or deceitful without its reaching the surface and showing there no matter how much we try to conceal it. As a ship leaves a wake of white foam be hind it, so we all leave a wake as we pass along, but each is tinged and colored by the heart within. 1 " ' May Build Five Houses. -m Mr. Henry -Greenf of Polk county,' hag purchased from Mr. M. Levi fourteen acres of land in Rutherfordton," known as the Mitchell property, lying to the right of the Rutherfordton Mili ary Institute. It is said Mr. Green will commence the erection of five new dwellings on this and which he will off erf or rent. There is not' now a vacant nouse m Kuthertordton, and there are many families board- ng because they can't get nouses. nutnertoraton bun.
