Kot that this case ii ex ecutions', but by reason ot certain novel features it may well be scucted to point a moral and adorn ft tale.

For a clearer explanation, let take 'Seriea A," which consisted of the compsny'e first purchase. TL aa a tract of sixty acres on the main street of Salem, about a mile west of the courthouse Not a dollar was re presented in the capitalization in ex cess of the then actual value of the properly, plui the necessary expenses of administration and management Tbe?e expenses were fi;'iied down to a minimum. The men at tbehelcu were men of integrity and had a laudable ambition to carry out aa honest scheme. That stock, i. e "Seii -aA," has all been taken and the work of preparing the lots for sale is now going on. In other words, a portion of the lan I which forma the basis of "Series A wa3 laid out into lots-streets were mule, and at pre sent values the lot, whoi sold, will realize a sum sufficient to pay the stockholders two or three for one. Moreover, a considerable portion of the purchaiij was for the present left jiii lulled, and this will ultimately in ke the profits to the etockboldert at catfmr f r one It is likely that within 12 or 18 months all the lands in "deries A'' wM have been sold, the proceeds divided and the sto:k can celled. After the stock in Stries "A" bad all been taken, sioiuHineously with the ddvehpaent and improvement of that projierty, a new purchase of acre property .was mada and the books opi-u d for Hock ia Scio "B".

Such p routs will all go o the holders of stock in the "Building Bene?," al though a portion of the profits will have accrued from the increased value of the lots built upon. At ths same time the stockholders in "Series li' wiil have been benefited by the en hanced value of their vacant lots.

The libertine is always cautions in his movements and tly in his approaches to the human heart, and unless his intended victim fortifies horself by the principles of virlue and refuses to place herself in bis keeping except with honor, she is lost . . Girls, guard yourselves again&t the vices aud foliies of the world, an 1 let puri ty of soul, integrity, virtue and honor bo your guiding star, and then, when ago comes upon you, you can read the book of your 'ife with pleasure, finding nothing written therein of which you would be ashamed when it shall he opened in the light of di vine truth aud read bv other beings than those which inhabit this earth. Butler Herald. - An O el 1 armer'H Advise. This is the a Ivica of an old man who tilled the soil for forty years: I am an old man upwards of three score years, during two score of which I have been a tiller of the soil I can not say that I am now, but I have been rich and have all that I need, do not owe a dohar, have given my childrt n a good education and when I am called away Will leave enough to keep the wolf from the door. My t-xperience.taught me that. Oue acie of lnd well prepared and well cultivated produced more than two which received only the same amount nsed on one. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog well fed is mire profitable than two kept on the same amount necessary to keep one well. One acre of clover or grass is worth two of cotton where no clover or grass is reised. No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule, for ter. years, can keep the sheriff away from his door in the end. The farmer who never reads the papers, sneers at book farming and improvements, always has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken down fence., and complains of bad seasons. The farmer who is above his busi ne and entrusts it to another to manage, soon has no business to at tend to. Xorth Carolina Farmer. Health Hints. Don't contradict your wife. Don't tell a man be is a stranger io the truth because he happens to be smaller than yourself. Errors or this kind have been known to be dii astrous. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Leave them beside the kitchen fire, where they will be handy to put on in the morning. It is bad to lean your back against anything cold, particularly when it is an icy ptvemcnt, opon which your vertebral arrangement, has caromed with a jolt that shakes the buttons off your coat. Always eat your breakfast before beginning a journey. If you hayen't any urcaaiuo. uu jjm-irj. After violent exercise, like putting op the stove or nailing down carpels, never ride around town ia an open carriage. It is better to walk. It is also cheaper. When hoarse speak at little as pos sible. If you aro not hoarse it wont do you any harm to keep your mouth shot, too. Don't light tae fire with kerosene. Let the hired girl do it. She hasen't any wife and children- You have. Don't loani around the house in yr ur bare iect at the dead of night trying to pick up tray tracks. Men have been known to dislocate their Jaw through this bad practice. When you lee a man put the lieb ted end ot a cigar ia hi mouth, don't ak him if it is hot enough. Serious injury fass often resulted from this habit.
