Sunday Thoughts.
From the Ram's Horn.
The corner of all sin is unbe
lief. We punish ourselves when we
hate other people.
A hypocrite never fools any
body but himself.
No man is pure who is not
filled with love of purity.
That man has an easy place
who loves to do God's will.
A civil tongue will protect us
where a revolver wouldn t.
God can use a weak man, but
he has no use for a lazy one.
We can not do our best for a
cause we are not sure is right.
If salvation did not depend up
on love, it could not be eternal.
The faultfinder works at least
ten hours a day for the devil for
nothing.
The joy of the Lord is the
strength of the righteous. Have
you got it?
It means something when a
cheerful giver puts his hand in
his Docket.
When we are doing right it is
always safe to count on God for
lots of help.

COL. JULIAN.S.CARR'S FARM.
WHAT MONEY WILL DO ON NORTH
CAROLINA SOIL.
Charleston News ami Courier.
The attractions of Occonee
chee are too numerous to men
tion in detail. Blooded horses,
Jersey cattle, Essex and Duroc,
Jersey hogs.Shropshire and horn
ed Dorset sheep, fine turkeys,
peafowls, ducks, geese and pig
eons, Italian bees, etc.
The farm is 750 acres in ex
tent and is under a splendid sys
tem of cultivation. The horse
and cow barns are the finest in
the State, costing $23,000 and
$S,ooo respectively. These are
fitted up with the latest im
provements. The residence is
the old Norwood house, built
during colonial times, and al
though it has been beautifully
remodeled it still retains its co
lonial style.
Cornwallis cut the road that
passes in front of the house. The
old clock, sent as a present to
the town of Hillsboro, by King
George III, can be plainly seen
from the farm.
Col. Carr has spared 110 pains
or money in beautifying this nat
urally very attractive farm. His
club house is something especial
ly to be admired. This, with the
many other buildings, makes
one appreciate Col. Carr's artis
tic tastes, and feel that he has
indeed an eye for the beautiful.
The Occoneeche mountain is
to be seen across the road, and
the beautiful little river Eno
runs through the farm, affording
good fishing and fine bathing.
There is a high bluff north of
the house where the river runs
around the foot of the mountain,
and standing out 011 this bluff in
bold relief is an immense rock
called "LOver's Leap," romantic
from the fact that from its lofty
top a beautiful girl committed
suicide, all for sweet love's sake.
arms and gathered the tail up
his' waist. He couldn't
make it stand up, however, and
they say he went around inquir
ing in his native tongue what
kind of an idiot it was that con
structed a garment that wouldn't
hang on, and swearing some of
the most awful heathen oaths.
At last he let it drag, and that
night he got his legs tangled 111
it somehow, and fell over a prec
ipice and was killed.
"Another chief who got one 011

they fitted one pair on an idol,
and then they stuffed most of the
rest with leaves and set tliem up
as a kind of new .fashioned idols,
and began to worship them
They say that the services were
very impressive. Some of the
women split a few pairs in half,
and after sewing up the legs used
them to carry yams in, and I saw
one chief with a corduroy leg on
his head as a kind of helmet.
"I think though the socks
were most popular. All the
fighting men went for them the
first thing. They filled them
with sand and used them as
boomerangs and warsclubs. I
learned that they were so much
pleased with the effiency of those
socks that they made a raid 011 a
neighboring tribe 011 purpose to
try them, and they say they
knocked about eighty women
and children on the head before
they came home. They asked me
it I wouldn t speak to you ana
get you to send out a few barrels
more, and to make them a little
stronger, so they'd last longer,
and I said I would.
"This society's doing a power
of good to those heathen, and I've
no doubt if you keep right along
with the work you will inaugu
rate a general war all over the
continent of Africa, and give
everybody an idol of his own.
All they want is enough socks
and trousers. I'll take them
when I go out again.
Then the Dorcas passed a res
olution declaring that it would,
perhaps, be better to let the
heathen go naked and give the
clothes to the poor at home.
Mavbe that is the better way.

Successful advertising requires
brain and good judgment and
strong common sense. Thou
sands of dollars are thrown away
every day in injudicious adver
tising, bo says one 01 our con
temporaries, and yet are not dis-
posed to contradict him. Not
that it requires genius to adver
tise judiciously. On the con
trary the best equipment for an
advertiser is to have something
good to advertise, and then to
make it known in a plain unmis
takable manner, and keep 011
making the public familiar with
it, until success is insured. It
does not matter whether he has
goods for sale or work to perform
or a trade journal to circulate,
the requisites for successful ad
vertising are the same, and the
first is to offer something good
to the public. And the next is
to keep on making it known un
til you have secured the atten
tion of the public, and mindi
never to drop off unless you want
to be forgotten and have to do
some of your work over again.
It is easier to underdo than over
do advertising. The experience
of advertisers in all titneshas
been that constancy in advertis
ing is absolutely indispensable.
