Take heed to vonisclves. lie- member that the man counts much n the preacher. .Set forth the truth iiid emphasize it by the life you live. Never preach a luciier standard to your jH-ople than you are willing to SP yourself. It is not necessary for me to em phasize the fact of your being gentle men. Being ministers gives you the entry to any home. Always be gen tlemanly. Kemember that you euter these homes not ns private citizens, out as representatives of Methodism. Always, be neat in yonr appearance; uevcr bo slovenly. "Ihink high thoughts for you will live as you think on a high plane yon-jill live on a high plane and it yon think on a low plan yon will live on a low plane. "Kehgion makes yon gentlemen. Avoid debt, 'l'ay as yon go' is a good motto for you to have. Don't pay for discounts in stores because you are ministers and don't bint for people to give you tilings, x on -are uot beggars, but gentlemen, and don't beg until tbe necessity is thrust upon you. irrrr it-witta.--, Avoid polite lying.

Mofflll In The MnrnlllK I ml Allow me to present the following paper from tho Wake county associa tion for tho betterment of public echool houses: The association was organized in Raleigh during the ses sion of the teachers institute held In August, 1902 as a branch of the Central btate Association, which was organized at the state Tvornm and Industrial College on March 20th, 1902. This -great idea was evolved in the mind of Dr. Charles Mclver and his pupils, many of whom know from actual experience the needs of our public schools generally. Quoting from the opening address on the occasion is the following: "Realizing that under the present conditions and with the present sur roundings of the average school house, it is impossible to train the youth of the state properly, and re alizing further that unless the women of the state take hold of this very important matter, it will remain neglected, the students of the college have organized themselves and call upon other women of the state to loin them in ma kmc inhabitable and attractive the bouses in which our children spend Ave days of each school week", The Central Association ut Greens boro held its first public meeting on the evening of April 3, 1902. Gov ernor Aycock, State Superintendent Joyner, Superintendent C. L. Coon of Salisbury, Prof J. M. Smith of Klon Collece. also Dr. .W. fa. Lonur of same college, and others, were present and gave their hearty en dorsement, pledging their support to the work. Governor Aycoek asked the privilege of becoming the first associate member, followed by others. Hake county, unxioiis to join in this movement, organized, as before mentioned, a branch in August, 1902. The president. Miss Kdith Royster, one of tlie-inost capable teachers of the county, was elected president. Letters were sent out the following month to every school district in the xnnnrs nviit.ii, bur thn nliwt mill re questing that district associations be formed for improving in whatever way seemeu most, neeueu ineir own school house and Burrouiidings, and makinc the school the social center of the district. These letters especially called their attention to the fact that in no way could it be better accomplished than by the co-operation or a woman as sociation with the school committee. Thirteen persons were secured, but of the 88 that were sent out, and out of flie thirteen 0 district associations iveie formed, and at five of. these Hood and encouraging work is being done. The Wake county association has been able to prosecute their work through the contributions from as- ociale members who pay one dollar per vear. T Ins enaliles- us to pay postage and hold a reserve fund for i scholarship us follows: Woman's Association for the Better ment of Public Schools Wake County Branch. A Summer School scholarship. valued at about $20, which rould iiclmle board, tuition, ami railway fare, will be awarded to the teacher in Wake County Public Schools who makes the greatest improvement in school house ami grounds during the pieseut scholnstic year. Conditions governing the contest: I. A report of the present condi- ion of tho tcliool house, both ex terior aud interior, and of the grounds, shall lie sent by December 31st to the chairman ot the commit tee, whose name appears below. II. Improvements should be both exterior and interior, useful and or namental. III. Any or all of the following mprovemants will be considered: lesks, blackboards, painting within and without, window blinds, maps, globes, etc., pictures, trees, shrubs and flowers, sanitary arrangements, establishment or increase of library. IV. Any other improvements that the teacher may mako will be gladly considered. V.

The Centennial division commit tee will call a public meeting nssoou as they have given sufficient notice to the resident of the south division to warrant it. The matter of plant ing rows of shade trees on the north east and south of tho play ground will be considered, also the erection of a fish pond and fountain in front, facing the capitol. Tho inside decor ation, s luh as picture?, maps, globes and statuary will be considered. We have excellent school buildings and good equipments but wc need other things for our young people. We need beautiful surroundings such as are seen in progressive cities. The eye accustomed to seeing beauty and neatness becomes educated to ' Raleigh on her march of progr must keep in niintl the young e and mind of our prospective citizen This action of the Junior Order of American Mechanics is highly com mendublc and the presentation of i Bible, tho most fitting first gift, to the institution, for on this founda tion, a great rep:;Mic and its great institutions must rest to be secure. As it is their object to instill inio tho iniiHls ot the boys and girls of the land, love tor American ideas, shall it not be the endeavors of the woman's association for the better ment of public schools to instill into the minds of mothers and sisters and daughters love for the beautiful and useful? Tho school conies next to tile-home in the foundation stones of A great nation. Its management of course snouki be left with compe tent teachers, but they should be aid ed and encouraged in all things per taining to their office and helped in their efforts to improve in any way thei r su rround i ngs. I'rcsnmi n g that the school committee of men (for no woman has a voice in these meetings) do their full duty, there is much out side of their prerogative that a wo man's club may do, that will not be detrimental to tho school or any en croachuient on the lights of the school committee.' As the objects of our association are similar to those of the United American Order of Mechanics, it w ill be a privilege to co-operate with them in their undertaking for the advance- nieut oi our youth in eaucaiion and patriotism and to uphold tho public senooi systom. The co-operation of the ladies of Raleigh is earnestly solicited to at tend a mee ing at this school at a date which will be announced later. Let us do something to help the teacher, the pupils and the city. Wc never more shall pass this way, So let us sow the way with deeds. Whose seed shall bloom with May time meads And Hood our onwaid path with words That thrill the day like singing birds. December on' the Farm. December is the month when near ly all the operations of the farm are arrestedy A balance sheet should be made to see whether the work for the year has been protitable or not. Very few farmers keep an account of their receipts and expenditures. This should be done in a systematic man ner, and w hatever crop shows a loss should either be abandoned the fol lowing year or the methods of culti vating the same should be improved. In all such accounts some estimate ought to be taken of the deteriora tion in soil fertility. The subject of fertilization requires more attention than it has heretofore received from Southern farmers. Many use fertil izing material for the crop to be im mediately grown. This is bad policy in fhe long ran, for by this practice the hnmus in tbe soil is oftea t duced to such a point that the ground becomes hard and is incap able of resisting the disastrous droughts that so oftou prevail in the latter part of the summer. Some green crop, such as clover, cowpeas, vetch or other leguminous plants, should be regularly sown so ns to re place the humus that becomes ex hausted by cultivation.

Little Abel Barker went for the first time to Sunday school. He wanted to be a good boy but he was slow, lazy, and inclined to shirk; there did not seem to be a bit of push in him. That first Sunday the Superintendent talked about one's best and being one's best, and taught the school our inoruing glory text, "Whatsoever thy hand tindeth to do, do it with thy might." The little "fellow kept saying it over to himself as he went home, thinking that it took in play, .and lessons and work, "It is prettv hard," he said, "but I'll do it.1' And ha did. le went to work with a will and diC everything with his might. Wheh he left school he went f n Train the trade of tbe blacksmith. He remembered his lesson. He was active and energetic. He gave him self to the Lord Jesus aud was as earnest in his religion as in his busi ness. He was known as the best black smith in that part of England. The London Missionary Society started to build a Missionary ship. One of the Missionaries, who was go ing out in her, had been Abel's S. S. teacher, and he got them to engage him to make an anchor and chain. The fillip is finished and on her way. A dradful storm comes up. Unless she can be kept from drift ing she will be dashed to pieces on a rocky island in the Pacific. An an chor is put out but the chain snaps and again they drift towards the rorks. "Let go another," says the Captain. It goes and tails like the lirst. A third is tiied but that breaks. They have but one more, so small it seems useless to fry it, when the heavier chain hate snapped like a thread. Hut a Missionary says, "My old scholar, Abel Baker, made it; aud I kuow it is made in the best way that a chain can be made." Away goes Abel Baker's anchor. It is their last hope. If it fails they must perish. Anxiously they watch. It reaches the bottom. It holds. The ship stops drifting. Will it continue to bear the strain? The ship rises and falls. The chain swings backwards and forwards. The anchor holds. The vessel is held till the storm is over. They are saved. The anchor that Abel Baker made "with his might" saved the ship.

Theieisno iKie- evidence of a growing tendeii i. -.v.ird education than to observe to uiuny young men and women from the farm entering secondary schools and universities for the training for some special depart ment on the farm, or to prepare for some of the higher walks of lite. Statistics show, too, that a very largi per'cent. of successful' business and professional men and women come from the farm. 1 he L nited statci takes a pride in her conn try boys aud girls, because many nf her brilliant statesmen and several ot her presi dent share emauated from the fi'uin It is up to the boys and girls of the farm, then, to get an education; it, alone, can stimulate tbriltand mould a higher plane of right living. In speaking ot the possibilities for young people (Jen. William 1. bher man once said: "I envy the young; I envy them their hopes, their dreams, and their highest aspira tions: I envy the beggar in the street, if he be young, for who knows what lies before liim.' The key-note of education to the nountry young man ami young wo man notoulv means a better equip ment for successful di partmeuts of farm life it means leadership. Every boy and girl on the farm Should have nn . nlrmie traiimi which gives to them higher and bet ter ideals in life. J-.vii'y boy and girl on the :arm should be (lie pos sessor of a thorough business train ing. The object of r. business train ing should not iiiuteiially mean the acquirement of biijinees positions in the cities, but it should be of a two fold feature ilireetK uiii-'eable to the interests of the faiui r'urui, to im prove and brighten ilie home; sec ond, to thoroughly o xaiuze and de vise a system ot i.i "0 mi ing and fin ance for everv !( ;: 'x:nt of the farm. To make tho home better, more attractive, and ne.ner to the ideal which is the pride and glory of all Americans, should be the highest aim and ambition of womankind. To heighten the enjoyment of the home life; to preserve it ar.d treasure it as the nearest and dearest place, the most hallowed spot ou t-aith, should be the delight of every country buy and girl. The farmer girl should be the equal or th" peer of tier brother, the farmn' boy, in business knowl edge. Education is the mother of progress. Woman, from her exulted sphere, oscupies u Held peculiarly her own. In her quiet ami unosten tatious way, Bhe directs and leads the world in its cycles of reform. The education of woman nut- only pre pares her for a broader sphere of usefulness in the world politically ami socially, but the domestic circle, in the ideal and the leul, has been strengthened, Few young people realize, until too lute, the imperative need of ,an education. We have nut served our purpose in life, we have not served our country with the strongest bond of fidelity, until we have gleaned an intellectual equipment which insures and gives to the possessor a better home, and qualifies him fur a more useful service to his fellowman. Edu cation trains for citizenship; it raises the standard of the community morally and intellectually: it stimu lates thrift and creates new avenues to wealth; it deepens the American spirit of supremacy in business, social and political life.

He w ill accompany his brother J S Boggs to Ga. in a few duvs, where they will operate it cross-arm factory. So tar as we know Mr Martin Mc- Ajilav of Onvil has led with large hogs this year.

Mr Daniel MeLeod, a respectable old gentleman living near Biscoe, died last week, and was buried at the family grave yard near the home of air .loiiiison aicLcod. Mr Sam Frazier received u mes- age yesterday informing him that a nephew of his, near Mt Gilead, was very ill of lock-jaw. Mr 11 S Tool, fonner editor of the Kxiiminer and recently editor of Fuels and Figures, has taken charge of the Rockingham Anglo-Saxon, und will move his family lo that place in a few weeks. Mr Pool is an original thinker who lias manv ud- niirers in this county, and he will no loubt make a sneers in his new position. We hope that he will re ceive the support that, lie so justly merit -i. Then and Now Democratic and Repub lican Government. In a recent, letter from Hon. John II. Reagan of Texas to a friend in Georgia und published in the Augus ta Cliioniele, that distinguished tatesniaii calls attention to Demo cratic extravagances in such a man ner us to merit the thought fill atten tion uf the people. Judge Reagan not only emphasizes this difference, but its ti-iider.cies and these are what should eiHiimatid the attention of every patriotic citizen. Judge Reagan writes: I was u member of congress for four veais preceding the war between the states, and had some acquaint ance then with a Democratic admin istration of tho government. Dur- ng that time its expenditures iiimuntt'd to between seventy and eighty millions of dollars a year. 1 hen 1 was in one of the other ranches of congress for sixteen vears tfti-r the war and was somewhat ob- rvant nf its policies and expendi tures. The cost of its administra tion is more than a billion dollars a year; more than twelve and one-hulf iTuies us much as it was then. "Some increase of the public ex penditures would necessarily grow mt of the increased territory and business of the country. But there can be no just "reason for this extra ordinary increase. I ongress then consulted the con stitution for authority to make ex penditures; now it consults the pulley of tbe Kepiiblicau party to leteiinine how much it will appro priate. Then it represented the peo ple; now it represents the Republi can party and the monopolies and trusts. Then the people ruled the overnmeiit; now money, trusts and corporations rule it. Then the juris- Iiction of congress was controlled and limited by tho constitution; now it is so enlarged and broadened as, in practice, to permit congress to do w hatever it pleases. No one can any longer pretend that congress respects the limitations prescribed by the constitution. We certainly have not now the govern ment our forefathers matte tor us. We are constantly by legislation and judicial decisions enlarging the powers of the general government and abridging the powers of the State governments. Irom 180,000,000 of expenditures a year to over one billion for the same lengm oi lime is a jump wen calculated to stagger any people. Millions of this latter sum repre sent fraud, pure and nuudultciated, Is it not time for the people lo think of these things and demand a return to the good old Democratic ways of honesty and economy? Morning l ost. The public roads which Xapoleon built for France are among the few evidences which continually remind the people of tliat country of the greatness and glory of the uncrown ed king. We do not think history would adjudge Xapoleon altogether selfish m this enterprise, it is true. he wanted good roads over which to transport Lis armies, and yet we think he was wise enough, ana lov ed his country to the extent that he could see the value of these highways, after the battles should have been fought. Ex. DOMESTIC RECEIPTS. A good Pie To enough stewed pip-plant for one pie, udd the yolks of 2 eggs and 1 cup sugar. Bake with one crust, and beat the whites, add 1 tablespoon sugar, spread over the top aud brown the same as for lemon pie. Abbie's Molasses Cookies Take 2 cups dark molasses, 1 cup dark su gar, 1 cup shortening, 2 teaspoons suleratus, i cup sour milk or water, 1 teaspoon ginger, flour enough to make a stiff dough. Roll i inch thick and bake in quick oven. The ginger mav be omitted if not liked. Sugared Beets Cut boiled beets in thin slices, season with butter, pepper, salt ami sugar, put into a baking dish and set in a very hot oven for a few minutes. To make delicious pickled beets, slice hot beets and puck in a dish with sugar plentifully sprinkled between the layers. When thoroughly cold, pour on a little vinegar. Creamed Beans Soak a cup of dried lima beans over night, drain and cook in boiling suited water un til soft, but still whole. Drain; add three-fourths of u cup of cream, sea son with butter, suit and pepper, re heat, and serve. Beef Loaf Take one and a half pounds ot round steak, two slices of salt pork, one .small onion, one egg, half a cup of milk' or stock, and thice-fourths of a cup of bread crumbs. Run the steak through the meat chopper, or chop it fine, fry the pork crisp, then chop it; mix all the ingredients and bake in a deep, well buttered pan for three-quarters of an hour. It is done when it leaves the sides of the pan. Xice for a lunch, for sandwich filling, or for tea. Turnip Crout Pare the turnips and cut off plenty of the top so there will bo no strong taste. They can then be cut in three or four pieces and ground in a sausage grinder, which is the easiest wuy, or a crout cutter cau be used. Salt as you would for cooking. ruck down tightly in a jar and put on a weight; if after a few weeks the water set tles and does not cover the crout, a heavier weight must be put on. If the turnips are sweet, the crout will be found as good as and preferred by many, to that made from cabbage. It requires longer cooking than other crout. To Cook A Young Chicken. Scnldinir water is Ion but for villi 11 ir chickens. Put in a pint of cold water to a gallon of boiling water. W hen scalded pick the chicken clean. Put in a can of cold water and wash.

Take out the chicken and put the pan ver the fire. Stir the milk and flour and boil. This makes a rich gravy. which mav be eaten w ith the chick- PI.KASAXT I.IVTXO. Knrlv cultivate the habit of ex pressing opinions culmlv without a how of irritation. Irritability, un urbed, drugs a train of discomforts. I'h Imstv word flies to some heart and inflicts a wound of which some eeolleclioit is bound to remain. It may cost vou the respect or even the love of a friend, ana that is a price no one can afford to pay. You have lost self-control, and vou iuii:lit bet ter lose a well filled purse. Yon have placed yourself under a Iphysical strain by losing your temper; a strain much more severe than that caused by a hard day's work. Avoid forcing unsolicited opinions on your friends. Your own opinions are no dearer to you than are theirs to them. Time, with lis experiences, alters ideas, but words seldom change the mind of another. Every persou lias pet theories, most of which ex plode when put into practice. Are lot some of your earliest notions be ne coiiiTiletelv changed, although you are yet only a school girl? Well, your friends will cluinge tueir munis, too, about many things, but events, not vour nnniments. will effect the change. So save your breath and your temper lor something uciter than argument. When your opinion is asked r meniber that it will be apt to disap point your friend unless it agrees with her own. Of course, you must uot hesitate on this account to give truthfully, but uo not oe auuoyeu it is considered worthless and cast aside without being acted npon. Just remember that lieople have been doing this way ever since ine worm began. APVICE FOR MEAT BCTERS.
