Yet with tbe fact ;to our credi that we have laage fruit crops moat every year and the cheapest land in the state and with a climate unsui)U83ed it is strange indeed that weare not thronged with prospect ors hunting for cheap productive lands.

Nancy E. Wall. The Model Girl. The model girl is too often not duly - stimated. She does not nec essarily have to be pretty. When you approach her you at once notice she is probably not beautiful in ap. pearance but her ways are charming However hard you may try to for get her you can't. Think cf the pleasant smile and gay but modest lauh, the welcomed greeting that she has for everyone. Her conver sation is furnished with intelligence although it is not irksome. She does not consider herself momentous neither does she live a s-cluded life. He company is sought, for unkind ness is not known to her. She is never disguised with the mask of friendliness to your face and then talks about you as soon as you are away; therefore she bus no enemies. "Last but not least," Sh is punctual at appointments. Jean Death of Little Opal Brewer On Wednesday April the 25th the angel of death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo Brewer and took from their loved embrace their only child the lovely and beautiful Opal. She was only 16 months and 10 davs old yet during this short time she had entwined her love and affection so closely around their hearts that it was hard, oh! so hard! to give her up. She was so sweet, so beautiful, so gentle, loving and kind- She was loved by all who knew her, both rela tives and friends. The hand of God never errs yet how sad and heartbreaking is it to irive ud our dear ones: but He knows best. In their sad breavement the sym pathy of many friends are ex tended to them and we Drav that God's most comforting and sus taining Grace may richly abide with them. T. Ramseur, N. C. Mayl, 1911.
