I the wood ton Hardware Co We have HEY stood In the deserted vestry of the church, facing each other angrily for the first time in their lives. Then suddenly Janet swept the diamond from the third finger of her left hand and hold it forth. "You will fc ' oblige me by taking this back." she said bitingly. He stood looking into her eyes, growing grayer of face as he saw the stubborn anger that reposed within them. "Which means that our en gagement is broken, and that I may not hope for its renewal," he replied very low. For an Instant their gaze met as the glittering thing, lightly held, was passing from hand to hand; then as she released it and before his grip had become secure there was the slip of a nervous finger and with a tinkle the ring fell upon the iron grating of the floor register. Faintly they heard it go bounding far down the metal pipe which led to the furnace below, each supposing it lost forever in tha flames and not know ing that in its fall by some strange fate it had bounded through a small hole in the pipe and now lay amidst the rub bish of the church's basement. For an instant the girl's eyes softened, then hardened again and she turned them aside. Upon the floor in a corner of the room the little church mouse was sitting upon its haunches, and she nodded towards him. "To be renewed when the little church mouse brings it back to me," she returned coldly. They turned their backs upon each other and walked away. A week passed, and the little church mouse prowling about in the darkness of the basement, saw something through the gloom that glittered even more brightly than did his own eyes. Cautiously, hungrily, he approached It, smelt of it, felt of it with his gray whiskers, then stood it up before him Its glitter fascinated him. Surely this glistening thing about the size or a kernel of corn must be good to eat. ' and he tried his sharp teeth upon it. Yet gnaw as he would, he could not even scratch it, and at last he decided that it was only good to play with He was a little thing, and half starved as are all church mice, so it came to pass that it was not long before he had worked his head and forelegs through it and was running about with it encircling his middle, a very small creature wearing a diamond saddle with a gold girth. It wa3 fun for a time, but he soon beeame tired of it and tried to crawl out. He could not. Becoming panic stricken he flfd frantically up the stairs. Janet, alone and very unhappy, sat In her pew at the Christmas morning service. It was rath er chilly in tha church and she slip ped one hand Into her muff. Then she gave a start, for with in it she felt a small, struggling thing with something round and hard about It. Involuntarily she closed her hand, and as she did so the little church mouse popped out of the muff and scampered away, leaving the round object in her fingers. She drew it forth. It was her engagement ring. The last of all to leave her pew. Janet stepped into the vestry upon her way out. Dick was standing be fore a window with head bowed. looking older, grayer of face than he had a few weeks ago, and she saw the deep unhappiness that lay in his eyes. 3he aPDroached him, looking up at aim with the old expression which he knew so well. Softly she slipped one hand into his own, and as his lingers gently closed about it he felt some thing hard, round and familiar within his erasn. He raised her hand. The engagement ring his own encircled her third left finger. "Th. mtlp church mouse brought it back to me. Listen while I tell you," sne said, drawing a trifle closer For a mo ment her voice mur mured. "Is it not wonder iuI!" she exclaimed, half awed, as she fin ished. His eyes ightened. Wonderful, dear! t Is ar more than tli or Tr la a miracle of His Spiri' wrought upon His day - 1 It-r. r on His token of love evenasuus m that even we are not forgotten. Tightly his arms closed about her. HARRY IRVING GREEN. STATE BAPTISTS CLOSE SESSIOI WILL FOR PETITION LEGISLATURE SIX MONTHS PUBLIC TERM. HAVE PROFITABLE MEETING Some Statistics Showina ftmuth nf Denominations in Various Lines. Much Work Was Done. Last Day Was Marked By Two Features. Goldsboro. The eigity-second an nual session of the North Carolina Baptist Convention, representing 250,- 000 members of 2,200 churches scatter ed from the mountain to the sea, fin ished its work several days ago, and adjourned to meet in Shelby in 1913. The closing prayer was offered by Rev. J. D. Huffman, one of the few remaining pioneers of the early dayi of Baptistic struggle. The last day was marked by two features. The convention petitioned the legislature to increase the public school appropriation, and urged that all public schools be open at least six months. Then the convention placed itself on record as opposed to con tinuing to allow the International Sun day School Committee to select the Sunday school lessons of the South ern Baptist Sunday school. The Woman's Missionary Union, re ported to the convention that during the year the offerings of the women's societies had been as follows: Foreign missions, $15,133.29; home missions, $9,086.32; state missions, $8,609.42; Louisville Training School, $748.07; Margaret Home, $168.08; Sun day school board, $192.04; expense fund, $484.78; total, $34,422. The re port also gives a comparative state ment of the work each year since the organization of the Woman's Mission ary Union. The report of Secretary Middleton shows the Baptists now have 64 as sociations. In membership the West Chowan still leads, having 11,975 members, Chowan next with 10,341. There are now 2,006 w.hite Baptist churches in the state, a gain of 53 over last year. The total membership of these churches, except 38 not reporting, is 237,139. The following are the half-dozen associations making the largest per capita contributions: The Central leads with $1.75; the Pee Dee at $1.72 and the Roanoke at $1.71 are not far behind. The Pied mont reached $1.55; the Buncombe $1.35: the Mecklenbrug Cabarrus, $1.33. President Durham, announced following appointments: Foreign missions, J. C. Turner, W R. L. Smith; home missions, J. H Foster, A. C. Hamby; state missions I. M. Mercer. J. J. Hart; Sunday schools, G. T. Stephenson, C. J. D Parker; Biblical Recorder, R. L. Gay, A. E. Brown; ministerial education. J. D. Harte, T. H.

To the Editor of The News-Herald: You very kindly referred in a recent issue of your paper to my getting the 2nd premium on corn at the State Fair, which was awarded on the quality, they not knowing the amount produced per acre. Thinking it might be of interest to the farmers of Burke county to state the quality I raised on one acre, and give in detail the work done, so that they might profit thereby and increase their yield, I send you this article. I will state first, the yield was eighty-three bushels of good sound shelled corn, and the total cost for every hour of work and fertilizer applied was $10.50. The first work done was to spread six loads of stable manure on this land, which was rye stubble; this was done at intervals during the months of February and March. On the 15th day of April I broke it fairly weil with a two horse turning plow and har rowed with a disc harrow. On the 1st day of May I harrowed twice with a disc harrow, twice with a spike too.h harrow, twice with an Acme harrow, and ap plied 200 pounds 4 per cent acid phosphate with a wheat drill, as deep as the drill would run, which was equal to another harrowing. At this stage, I found the land in fine shape, and I proceeded to lay it off, in rows 4 feet wide, and I dropped the corn, Good man's Prolific, as near 24 inches as I could by hand. This I covered lightly with an- Acme harrow. On the 11th day of May the corn being up with about 2 blades, we had a regular flood of rain which washed it up, covered it up, etc., until my report on stand was made at 80 per cent. As soon as the ground was in condition, after this awful flood, which-had run the ground to gether, I went on it with a steel spike tooth harrow and tried to break the crust, but failed. I then took a four-tooth side culti vator with long new plows on it and plowed it just as deep as I could. This broke all the middle, but left a small hard ridge next the corn: I took my weeder, which is a v-shaped one, and closed it up so as to cover two rows, and I drove up and down each middle, which gave each row a double tickling. This did the work, and put the ground back into the same fine condition it was when I planted it. From this time jon I cultivated it with the same side cultivator just as shallow as I could every Why Trains Run Late. High Point Enterprise. On November 16 last, the In terstate Commerce Commission made a ruling (the railroads had nothing to do with the ruling) limiting all passenger trains on all lines to 48 miles an hour, and all freight trains on all lines to 25 miles an hour It is our un derstanding that the demand for this rule was due to recent wrecks caused by engineers try ing to make up lost time. Under the recent ruling if a train is late it cannot run over the prescribed rate of 48 miles an hour. The ruling is to safeguard the public from train wrecks. Many of the engineers throughout the coun try have requested that speed - meters be attached -o their en gines, to exonerate them in case of accident where otherwise they might be charged with exceed ing the speed limit. ough. The president appointed Dr. W. R. Cullom to arrange for the program of g days untji j had cultivated it six times. I would have culti the pastors' conference next year. (pi Two Bodies Do Not Want Union. There was a conference in pro gress at Raleigh between the mem bers of the state board of agriculture, the trustees of the A. & M. College, the board of directors of the college, and the legislative committee from the 1911 legislature, considering the interests of the collfjge, and tne de partment of agriculture, as involved in the proposed merger of the two in stitutions for the sake or economy and efficiency. This proceeding is under the Dowd act of the last legis lature, which directed a special com mittee, headed by the president oi the senate, Hon. W. J. xsewiana, w investigate and recommend to tne ivii legislature as to this matter. 1 Partners' Institutes in State, Director T. B. Parker's report to the state board of agriculture on the farmers' institute division of tne de partment, of which he is the director, for the year mere weie vated it twice more had it not been for a storm which tangled it so I had to stop. At the fourth working I ap plied 50 pounds of nitrate of soda broadcast in every alternate middle. I had intended to give it another application of 50 pounds of nitrate at the last working, but did not give it that working for reasons stated above. Now this being a demonstra tion acre, there are two things that I tried to prove by this demonstration. 1st. That the expeiise . on this acre is no more than any farmer, tenant or land lord can, if he will, put on his entire crop of 10 acres at least 9r.c To nrove to the tenant ? i i jq class that they are wrong when J Coining Money For Christmas. For a time being the United States mint in Philadelphia has been converted into a veritable Santa Claus workshop, for the manufacture of hundreds and thousands of shining gold pieces that will nestle in the toes cf many stockings at Christmas time. Immsnse numbers of bright dou ble eagles are being turned out to meet the Christmas rush. The demand for the minor coins, quarters, dimes, nickels and cents, so necessary to holiday shoppers, is greater than ever before. The coinage of pennies alone will amount to hundred s ! of thousands of dollars before the demand of the holiday season is supplied. SEAL ON EACH SOLE. ' 'Am I using Red Cross Christ mas Seals?" reiterated a good natured old cobbler as he looked up from the shoe he was repair ing to the person who stood blocking the doorway of the lit tle shop, and who had asked the question originally. "I don't know of them. What are they for?" he asked. When told that the little stick ers were being sold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tuberculosis, the cobbler became very much interested. "Now, I call that a good cause," he drawled. "I can't afford many because I don't get very much work out here in this end of town, but you can leave me ten of them. "No, I don't write any letters and I don't send any Christmas packages. There's just me and the old woman left I can't use my seals that way, but I'll tell you how I can use them. I will stick a seal on the sole of every shoe I tap." iSOIUTELYPURE Cooking under modem methods and con veniences is made so attractive the whole family is becoming interested.

The mouth is the most neg- lected and ill-kept organ of the human body. Some authorities assert that our neglected and mis used mouths are responsible for FOILS A FOUL PLOT.

Chil dren in school should be taught the care and proper use of the "human grinding machine." This is particularly true where chil dren are not taught a few simple, regular habits about cleaning and brushing the teeth at home. Tooth brush drills are a regular course at some of our larger city schools. They should be in every school. NOT GOOD for everything. Sutherland's Eagle Eye Salve is good for nothing but the eyes.

Wom an is not quite so rich, for scientists have proven that the normal man has five mil. .ion the woman only four and a half million to a cubic millimetre of blood. A decrease in number of red blood corpuscles and a person " looks pale "in lact, is anaemic, the blood does not get the right food and probably the stomach is disordered. Dr. R. V. Pierce found years ago that a g.yceric extract of golden seal and Uregon grape roots, queen's root and bloodroot with black cherrybark, would help the assimilation of the food in the stomach, correct liver ills and in Nature's own way increase the red blood corpuscles. This medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. By assimi lating the food eaten he system is nourished and the blood takes on a rich red color. Nervousness is only " the cry of the starved nerves for food," and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person looses those irritable feel ings, sbeps well at night and is refreshed in the morning. "I was attacked with a severe nervous disease, which was caused ty a disordered stomach and liver." writes Mr. Jas. D. Lively, of Wash ?m T"-' 2, Box 33. All my friends thought I would die and , Pfjysic-.ans gave me up. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce s Uoluen Medical Discovery, and derived much benefit from same. My case had run so lonfr, it had becoma so chronic that nothing- would effect a permanent cure, but Dr. Tierce's medicine has done much for me and 1 highly recommend it. I heartily advise its use as a spring tonic, and further advise aihag people to take Dr. Pierce's medicines before their diseases have run so long that there is no chance to he rml Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser, 21 stamps, to pay for wrapping and mailing only.
