And thoughts are fluttereing In; Thoughts fresh aud new, thoughts old and tried, j My poem to begin. Forgotten thoughts on tuneful wing Fly just above my own; I try to catch them, as they sing Some fond, familiar tune. But as 1 close 1113 eager clasp, They Blip from my embrace, And thoughts that my thought cannot grasp ' j Come thronging In their place. Wearing (he hue of summer sky, Sparkling as meteor's light; One twinkles jnst before my eye, And then goes out In night. i And one is like the bow of heaven, By summer raindrops kissed; I catch a glimpse of colors' seven! Then all is veiled in mist. Yes, many a thought both true and sweet I Just peeps' into my brain; I long to stay its flying feet Ere it depart again But when, o'ei joyed, I try to take The thought that seems so fair It fades like snow upon the lake.

FACTS AS TO THE SOUTH. 1 The best portion of this country with all of its manifold varieties of climate and ' soil and deposits, is thisdear Southland of ours. Its cIK mate is ho much better than any oth- er pari 01 tne united Mates, ex cept Southern California perhaps, that it is a wonder that the people in the frozen and unfriendly North do not move into the South by millions The , productiveness -mark it is far 1 greater in the South than in the North. You have not considered that, or perhaps never knew that, but it is true. The ably edited Jack sonville Times-Union says : "Taking the states easy of the Mississippi river, it will be found thai the price of land is .more than six times as high per acre in the states North of the Ohio as in those South of it. "Are the lands North and' South equally productive ? The statistical abstract of the United States shows the acreage and value of product of the cotton, lay, wheat, tobacco and potato crops of the different States of the Uuion, The average value per acre of the products of these r.rons in the South was $15 99. while L. - r , the nortuern Stales was only $3.50 per acre. So it will be seen that j the average in tue South in these crops was nearly twice as higii as at the North." . ' Think on those things and tell your friends 4nrj Nofl.i-nbout.them. The lands are abundant and cheap ani accessible. Nearly half of North Carolina is perhaps still i,n virgin forets. There is rdotn for many and the opportuniues for investment abound. North Carolina sjrows more varieties than any other State. Her minerals are rich; her forests are vast; her soil good; her products j a are almost innumerable; ner water power is almost unrivalled; her cli mate is the best; her people aie so dal and lawsabiding as a class, and the advantages are both numerous and excellent lor settlers and inves tors.

In speaking of newspapers and the men that make them, the Hamilton (Onta;io) Herald says : To those who make newspapers it is a s' range and at times a rather -id reflection that which has been par; of tnemselves, a beloved brain ..'.il l shall come in time to be the v " " - chi d of others, wh le they who caret for it and gave to its making tbe best of heart and braiu that they ha t to give shall have solved the" eternal mystery and be forgotten. There is no other calling in thr. world, perhaps, lhat demands so much of the personality of its fol lows a3 this cdling of newspaper making nor ts theic one which 9-. comple elv abs .ibs the identity of the men who m ke it. It calls for i bought an 1 study and phvsicl enduranc, and patien unremilii. care, and even affection. for no great newspap er man yet Iiw ed who did not regard his newspaper as bein- lis owji flrsh and blcKxl."

As is well known our climate is pleasant and healthful, consequent ly healtl is one of our great blessings. The general prosperity of the town of Dunn is not generally known tQ the world at large and In order that the moving world may learn of the advantages offered by our live, wide-awake town, we give a few.: facts and pointers worthy of consideration. No better location could; be found in the South for a cotton Tacuiry or cotton seed oil mill, for it is in the midst of four great cotton grow ing ooufitie8 and any tnveslmest of this kind would pay handsomely. No town in the State has any better badk country, which gives life and energy to the general mercantile business. '. , - Tbe town is located on the Xrnk Line of the great A. C. L. System fof Railroad, about 50 miles South or Wilson and 25' miles North of Fayetteyille. - It is situated just four miles from the Cape Fear River near the famous Smiley Falls, where the river with ts mighty current ha a fall of 27 feet In a distance of four nvles. This water power is sufficient to run all the Machinery in North Carolina with small cost of making water available, as in Antiellum days a Canal was corns me need to utalize the water, but the coming on of the war arrested the work after much tnoney had been expended. The enterprise was in augurated by Northern man who never returned after hostility had ceased This water power invites profitable investment. DUNN has about 35 business homesihat are doing a profitable busi-. ness. Two Landsom hotels that w m!d be of credit to any city. About 5000 bales of cotton are sold on her streets each .year, besides being a great turpentine market. There are within her corporate limits six churches of differsnt denomis nations; one good" newspaper and job office, a flourishing high school, under superb management; one Iron Foundry; one Buggy and Wagon Factory, togetherjwith other small mechanical enterprises. I Considering the youth of our town, r o " . CO. i 'II 1"t 1 been no greater progress in any town of the South during this time, -pu.ista were not lading selfishly that will equal Dunn. The population has reached about 1,000. Here temperance ani general morality are upheld and vice in forms is difdouDtenced, A hearty welcome awaits you. ODD MOMENTS. Slid n disoonrapred woman.

But something can be done with these odd moments which are so ex- asperaiingly unproductive to the dil- ligent;one. This is indisputable. because there are those who nave used jnst east minutes to confirm the statement.. A woman who was obliged to wait ht the breakfast-table for a dozen boarders to straggle down, in her waiting mome-ds manufactured yard of dainty lace, which found a profita ble way of employing the time. An other young woman, who daily wait- ed a quarter of an hop r for an eideny friend to go drivi g. kept a book. n the ball taole. and in tbe waiting timesifone summer managed to dp a cruditable amount of historical reading. Another kept a novel "go m in each room of the house, and henever she w ilted for dinner mans aged to read a "few cbapllys ..f which ever ,oooU was" handiest.' The only reading moments of one busy woman was the time she sp nt every day put -ting her baby to sleep, ai d her botk was kept in readiness for the opera-ion,--Harpers Bazar. IIncTUlCn Arnlra Salve.

Singularly enough tlie nasty word oftenest wounds those who love one another dearly, and the very closeness of their inttmacy affords t em opportunity for the- sudden thrust. - - - We know the weak points in the armor of our kinsman and our friend; we are aware of his caprices, aad originally are tender and compass siouate even of his vanities and whims; bu there dawns a day when it is written in the book of fate that we shall be as cruel as we are loving.
