There is a nrofossinn - n TVIAIH 1 every man may engage, no mat ter how Door or nnlpniT.1 i,-' may be. That profession is farm ing. " I am not an old or experienced farmer, but I was reared on the farm and learned to till tho imi and get joy out of the ground. In my opinion, farming is the grand est, the most inspiring, the most noble and independent of all the professions. The farmer is the solvent, the independent and hap py man. The merchant may see his goods go up in smoke; the bank president may abscond with a handful of stolen money, the millionaire's money may take wings and fly, to parts unknown and reduce him to beggary in a single day. The politician is a pu sillanimous wretch. The minister is a walking pity. The office-holder is a public pack horse. Let the bramleees tadpole dudescorn the farmer. I had a thousand times rather be an independent farmer, and know that my soul is erect and free, than to be President of the United States without inde pendence, feeling of the popular pulse, inquiring about the wind of opinion, filled with fear and trembling. There is a quiet about the life of a farmer and the hope of a se rene old age, that no other pro. fesssion or calling: can give. The professional man is doomed some day to feel his power waning; he is doomed some day to see youn- cer and stronger men pass nim in the race of We; he is doomed some day to take his seat and be last where once he was first. The business man's nisrhts are filled with worrv; his dreams are filled with spectres and Eobbhns, but the kind old farmer, like the eter nal hills, wlien the storms of pan ic howJ around, and the business tides ebb and flow, he remains practically unharmed, towering above the foes of turmoil, and quietly breaths the atmosphere of thrift and progress. He owes ijo man anything except good will. If any man comes to h i s door, he is not afraid it is an of ficer, and always greets you with a heartv ''come in." His nights are filled with sleep and" rest. , He hears the refreshing rain iainng ut)on the waving corn and listens to the zephyr's whisperings in the vine-clad trees above him, and breaths the sweet perfume of ro ses wafted in through his open window. .: When the winter, winds begin to blow, his crops aregatherered and his barns and cellars are fill ed. H,e looks forward to three longitiio.nthsat home with wife and family, three months of rest around his own fire side, three months of leisure in which to read and inform himself, three months nf solid comfort. It is not only the malienable right right of ev erv man. but hisindispensibledu ty to choose the calling or pro fession, the pursuit of which will bring the 'most possible happi ness. If the people were educated to believe that it is honorable to be useful, and disgracful to be idle and useless, and demand a nisrher standard of manhood, there would not be so many beg gars, thieves and robbers in the land, and more respectaoie citi zens. The people ought to be taught that the fanner ia the fa ther of all mdu8try,.and mat tne venerable old gentleman ought to be respected. C ,' There is a host of people in the land, mayof whom are gradu ates of good colleges, who, shun iVork, and especially the farm, as they would a leper. They are willing to do any thing that is not rpgacdod as labor; anything WATAUGA COUNTY, N. Cm THURSDAY that can be done in the house or ' in an office. Even some of them are willing to go about like a gang of hungry wolves trying to sell sewing machines, life uisur- quit, meui; i-uurus, peanuts, cider and every other trash on omir. 1- 1. 1 i ) " eaitn. .They seem to thimc work J" j I very uisgraceiui to a man wno oi pontics ne nas uounuani cour has a little knnwlpflfro of t, h n ntro when t.h ismifiH are to his three R's.

AUGUST 8. 1T)07. Carrie Ration. ' , (Hickory Democrat.) Carrie Nation delivered two of her lectures in Wesleyan Metho dist church of Hickory last Fri day, A fairlv goodsized audience greeted her at the first lecture, but at the second performance the crowd was small. Mrs. Na tion is sixty-one years old and is well preserved. She has an attrac tive face and impresses one most ; favorably. She told part of her , history. She was born in the South and has been twice mar ried. Her first husband died a drunkard and she knows what it is to be a drunkard's wife and a drunkard's widow. Her second husband sought and secured a divorce from her because she would not give up her work of smashing saloons. Sheclaim8 to be called of God for this special work; that Bhehas seen visions and that the proph et Isaaiah had her in mind when uttering certain prophecies. She is a fanatic. Her first lecture was on the ide al woman and contained many wise suggestions for the young girls and mothers. She warned the young girls against tight la cing and ner tribute to mother. hood Was fine. At night she told how she smashed aud why she smashed. She was severe on coca cola and cigarettes as well as Hickory. She praised Hickory lor the stand taken on the prohibi tion question, but said that we had some sneaks around here who were hauling the accursed stun" around in their buggies and stU ing il. We do not know who had been telling Carrie tnles.or wheth er she just jumped at that con elusion. - She praised Governor Glenn and Haid that she hoped the peo ple would send him to the United States'Senate; that just such a man as he is was needed m W ash ington. The Republican and Demo cratic parties received respectfu attention at her hands and the Chief Executive of the Nation was not forgotten. Incidentally it miorht be remarked that Mrs. Na- tion sells hatchets and a paper called the Hatchet and a copy o: her life for fifty cents and that she does not , forget to mention this fact in her address. We do not think that any town is the worst for having Mrs. Na tion visit it. She stands for vir tue, temperance and religion. She exalts virtue and denounces vice. The language used may seem severe in some cases, but she is in dead earnest and her soul is a fire with eeal for her cause. Money spent for her hatchet is better spent than money spent for cigar ettes. CAHBIE NATION'S BAYINQ8. God made the skunk to' smell, but He never intended that man should rival him in this respect.
