Qood Materials. High Grade Workmanship Our Slogan. Weldon, N. C. Jlii GOOD NEWS FROM THE The Bible Says That the Kingdom of (Jod is Within Vou. Where This Is There Is Heaven, and Where It Is, is Joy. Let Us Think about This for a Moment. The vast majority of us have to work in order to live, and the work is not what we would choose. After all our boasted freedom our lives seem to run in grooves se lected for us by a higher power. We think if we were not under the necessity of labor, or could choose our occupation, we would be happy. Would we? Are the pelted favorites of society happy? Men have been able to choose their occupation and have gained success. They have painted a great picture or written a great book, but were not happy. They had rivals and felt envy, and where envy is there is unhappiness. And yet the Heavenly Father in tended his children to be happy, but they are not. The hollow mockery called happiness we meet with in society and in places of amusement is as the complexion of the painted society woman to the blooming complexion of the country girl. Is there no panacea for the world's unhappiness? There is and it is love. The love life is the only happy life. Under its witchery the hum blest task becomes transfigured wiih glory. The stenographer, book keeper, clerk, mechanic, and plow boy find their work fascina ting. All love is sacred and beau tiful, even the love of animals for their young. The loveless life is an abnormal life. The highest ex pression is love for God, but the love of a boy lor his mother, the love of a young man for his sweet heart, the love of a little girl for her doll, all are sacred. It is deathless because God is deathless and God is love. Heaven is heav en because it is all love and no hate; and hell is hell because it is all hate and no love. Wm. A. Brewer. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A STRONti ON PIETY. During the Civil war the late Col. Gabe Bouch organized a reg iment which he controlled as a dic tator. "I am an humble servant of the Lord," said an itinerant evangelist who had wondered into camp one day, "endeavoring tosave the souls of the unfortunate. I have just left the camp of th th Massa chusetts, where I was instrumental in leading eight men into the paths of righteousness." "Adjutant!" thundered Colonel Bouch after a moment's pause.

Thousands of American women willingly testify W its virtue," a ?A n A ?A ?A BY FRANK L. STANTON. Just a-wearyin' for you, All the lime a-feelin' blue, Wishin' for you, wonderin' when You'll be comin' home again, Restless, don't know what to do, Just a-wearyin' for you. Keepa-mopin' day by day; Dull in everybody's way; Folks they smile and pass along, Wonderin' what on earth is wrong; 'Twouldn't help 'em if they knew Just a-wearyin' for you ! Room's so lonesome, with your chair Empty by the fireplace there, Just can't stand the sight o' it; Go out doors and roam a bit; But the woods is lonesome, too, Just a-wearyin' for you. Conies the wind with sound that's jes' Like the rustlin' o' your dress; An' the dew on flower an' tree Twinkles like your steps to me; Violets, like your eyes so blue Just a-wearyin' for you ! Mornin' comes, the birds awake Used to sing so for your sake; But there's sadness in the notes That comes trillin' from their throats; Seem to feel your absence, too Just a-wearyin' for you ! Evenin' comes, I miss you more When the dark glooms round the door; Seems just like you orter be There to open it for me. Latch goes tinklin', thrills me through, Sets me wearyin' for you. Just a-wearyin' for you, All the time a-feelin' blue, Wishin' for you, wonderin' when You'll be comin' home again. Restless, don't know what to do, Just a-wearyin' for you. I CAN, I WILL. Sailing on life's restless ocean, Rolling waves break high and white; Ships are here and ships are yonder, Passing on by day and night. Some have met with stormy weather, Some have anchored for repair, Some have lost their course in steering, Some have sunk in deep despair; Yet, they all have chart and compass, Stores to last and force to man, Which insures their onward going, When the captain says, "I can !" Ships, therefore, like these are symbols Of the many lives at sea; You and I and every other Must pass to eternity Sail across these unknown waters, On and on, to yonder land, And the mysteries encountered Only then we'll understand. Suns will warm and stars will brighten, Rains will come and winds will chill; But the captain, true to conscience, Hoists his sails and says, "I will !" Deep within each lonely bosom Is a heart of calm or strife, Beating, one by one, the moments That mete out the span of life. "On !" the conscious heart's repeating; All is well with such a guide; But the captain, pausing, doubting, Will his ship soon drift aside. Hark! then, to the voice of wisdom, Let each life-ship sail with skill, Sail ahead in light and darkness, And proclaim, "I can, I will!" A ?A TEACH BOYS TO LOVE NATURE. A n m m 1$ m A good many people would say more if they didn't talk so much. It's "investment" if you win and "speculation" if you lose. Mr. Burbanks Preaches a Gospel Every American Boy Should Ponder Deeply and Carefully. Tho Luther Kitrliank Soeioty is sending out an attractive pamphlet. On the front page is the statement of fturbunk, "I have known a boy, taught to love nature, who went j wrong." I As a genius in his line, Bur- ! bank ranks along with men I like Kdisoti. The latter has done no moro with his electri cal inventions than has Bur bank with the plants and (low ers which aro his daily com panions. He produced the grapefruit and a thousand and one improved flowers, plants and fruits. j Possessed of a marvelous sci-1 entitle knowledge of nature's mysteries, he finds it possible to fashion almost any kind of flower or fruit desired. Mr, Burbauk in his statement preaches a gospel which every American boy should ponder deeply and carefully. "It would seem as though duriug the past hundred years, and particularly the past two decades, we have been devoting all our genius and bending all our energy toward bringing conveniences in reach of all toward making luxuries so cheap that none could afford to refuse them. ''While all the time the ac tual necessties of life,the things wo eat, the things we wear, and all those other things which depend directly upon the soil for their production, have grown dearer and dearer and dearer. "ft is this state of things that gives tho boy of today the big gest opportunity that any hoy ever had. "A hundred years ago it was the railroad which opened up opportunity to the young Van derbilts. Fifty years ago it was steel that opened an oppor tunity to Carnegie and electric ity to Edison and Westing house. "Today every lo-acre tract of land that will hear a crop is begging our boys to come and embrace their opportunty. "What the world needs ur gently and now, is men who can increase tho forage from our present acreage bo that 16 cents will buy a pound of tho choicest sirloin as of old, in stead of rump, as now. "What the world needs is not theory, or agitation, or college lore; there are a plenty of these and at a cost of one hundred and eighty million dollars per annum in money and who knows how much time, they have succeeded in increasing our crop yielding n bare 3 per cent. "What the world needs is men who can do to agriculture and to horticulture what Edi son did to electricity, Carnegie to steel, and the Vanderbilts, Harrimans and Hills to trans portationdevelop its efficien cy. "The boy who seeks this op portunity will find himself no longer in the waiting line of applicants. He will face no eight-year apprenticeship. "Every acre of tillable land is inviting him to come to work. Every purchaser of food and clothing is protesting against bis delay. And every plant that is grown is anxious to re veal to him the trade secret und the techniiiue of bis new pro fession. "And what an opportunity indeed : "To udd u single kernel to each ear of corn means la five million bushel crop increase in America alone, ''A single improvement in the despised potato has meant sev enteen dollars a year here at home. "To a boy who has genius for work it offers a thousand-fold more reward than has ever been offered a genius. "There is nothing in all na ture that responds to the pleas ure and desires of man bo readily as her plants." Char lotte News.

Tramp Objects to Use of Hoe for Cleaning Out Cutters Mrs. Brown stood in the door way of her suburban home and eyed the tramp critically. "Are you willing to work for a meal ?" The tramp extended his hands expansively as though work was the one thing in life be hankered after and his apparent sincereiiy overcome Mrs. Brown's last scru ple. She retired into the house and presently returned carrying a large plate of food and a businesslike looking hoe. When the tramp had eaten the food she handed him the hoe, and, pointing toward the garden path, remarked : "Now, I want you to clean out that gutter. You see, it's filled with mud." The tramp glanced at the gutter then at the hoe. "I never use a hoe," he said, "when cleaning out a gutter." "Never use a hoe? Then, what do you use ? A shovel." "No," said the tramp, as be moved toward the gate. "My method is to pray for rain !" Hot Weather Tonic and Health Builder Are you run tlouli nervous - tired'1 Is everything you do an ell'ort'.'
