IMMIGRATION NEEDED.
There is no more serious ciues
tion confronting the farmer than
vi-hat of labor. The farmers of thas
county are. having no little trouble
to obtain labor even at much bet
ter wages than ' formerly paid for
farming operations.. Not a ew
farmers have abandoned the farm
and moved to town because of this
difficulty. A remedy is needed
- And that at once. . I
''. The farmers of the-Eastern Shore,
of Virginia are meetiner the tror
lem by organizing what they sljyle,
The Truckers Immigration Bureau,
'which" has for its object the secur--ing
of a desirable class of inimi-
igrants as laborers. They are want
ed to supplant the hordes of neg
roes Who go north during the
spring, leaving the farmers "i
liole" for help at the time when
is most needed.. , . I
' This movemnt is certainly wotthy
of the emulation of our people.
The Chamber of Commerce of ithis
city should lend assistance,! as
such a movement would, mean! an
-increase in the prosperity .of the
surrounding country. And noone
-would profit more than the J busi
-neas men of this city. 1
It would be a good thing! for
r . . .. . . f, .
the whole state if a good class 'of
immigrants could : be induced to
.locate here. Some of .-.the Jim
imense and ; un wieldly farms that
'stand two-thirds in waste now,
could be cut up, into reasonable
tracts and cultivated' profitably by
ihirfty men. There are acres of

make great s improvements in the
paper. - '"We now have a ' new

factures iave promised to have in

March. The paper will then be
enlarged to twelve pages and as

an afternoon edition.
The Tar Heel has enjoyed a
wonderful success during its brief
career and we are under obligations
to our patrons who have given us
theit support We ; also want to
thank our correspondents' who
have aided so materially in making
the paper what it is to day.

- With its .bitterness and strife, i
As,I watched the wizen face, ; t
- Saw thev poverty she bore, ' .
I could scarce suppress a groan,' -
Though Her whining monotone
Ever told about that Friend,, f
. Who would greet her at the end,
When the grave w6rns sought the
flesh, .
. When the spirit born afresh
Sought the wicket of His door,
To be with Him evermore.,
Tell me woman, then I queried,
-MDsnlfind His Friendship too? -As
she fa'ed me then I pondered,
, -When before I had but wonder-

As the richness of her Glory, ; "
.,When she called to : mind the
story ' . i ,
Of he.tnan ; Vho suffered sorrow,
That the cross -might lose it's

'So' she said, "the Way for you '
Is to let Him take you through!
"When the waters and ; the flood,
Leave you stranded and fore

Keep your eyes upon the tower; -Make

Then her voice was soft and low,
, As she added, "One thing more;
When the yoke of Christ is worn,
: Then the peace of Christ is born"
And I knew there was no sorrow,
4 While her mind was staid on
Him. " . .
For her path was bound in ease
Since He kept her soul in peace.
