The election held at Garysburg on Tuesday of this week on the question of levying a special tax not exceeding 30 cents on the $100 valuation of property and 90 cents on poll resulted, as pre dicted in this Daper. in a great victory for the school, only one vote being cast against the spe - cial tax. It is needless to sav good feeling prevailed. This is the greatest victory vet won in the county. HALIFAX IN LINE. Rev. J. T. Draper of the North Carolina Conference, now on the Aurelian Springs circuit;, 'writes us from that place that the elec tion held there last week resulted in voting the special school ta Dy a majority or tour, mis was the third election held at that place on the question of levying a special tax to supplement the school fund. Mr. Draper is en thusiastic in bis support of the public schools and his influence counts for good. Pointed Paragraphs. From the Chicago News. Its easy to economize if you haven't the money. Beware of the straight tip. It may lead to a crooked deal. But the safest get-rich-quick, scheme of all is to inherit it. It's difficult for people to gen erate advice tht is foolproof. A woman isn't necessarly a good cook because she is a good roaster. You do some things well and some otherwise but what'syour average? And some people cant see the good of being good unless other people find it out. When a girl knows that a man loves her she always likes to pre tend to doubt it You can't destroy courage by plucking it up. A signal failure has wrecked many a train of thought , There are more good women in this world than great ones. Every man should master the art of concealing his ignorance. The man who praises the baby always wins the mother's smile. People should enjoy cool recep- tions in warm weather but they don't .' . It doesn't take the average man long to get used to making a fool of himself. Hypocrisy is pardonable in those who appear to be cheerful when they are sad. . ' Sometimes a man's idea of economy is to tell his wife how to save money. Ex. v Many a rich man makes a poor husband. Ex. A SAD PICTDIE Keep tiae Young People lo tbe Country -A Mistake is Made by Leaving ih (lid Home. Have you ever, in driving through the country, passed one of those big, roomy old-fashioned houses that was at one time the home of a prosperous farmer? The children have romped from attic to basement, you almost im agine you hear t heir many voices. Tbe memory comes back to you, perhaps, of the happy evi-ninirs you have spent with the 'family, gathered around the wood fire; you can in fancy see the shadows on the wait thrown back from the greai blaze, in the big fire place. You catch yourself listen ing to see if you can not hear the sound of wheels as the family carriage comes around to the front gate to take the family over to preaching at the little country church over yonder in the pines. No, it is all a dream, the family has gone to town to live; the boys, some to travel on the road, others to sell goods behind a counter for fifteen hours a day; others are perhaps twisting brakes on street cars. Tbe father and mother sit and wish for the old home back in the country. You stop i and lok long at the old house; tbe bunds are banging by one hinge, the lights are gone from the upper windows, old rags are stopping the winds of one or two of. the lower rooms that are furn ishing shelter for some ' 'cropper' w ho is working (?) the old farm on shares. The fence is gone that once enclosed the old family garden, with its gravel walks and " j box hedges The scale is slowly sapping the life out of the fire old apple trees from which the boys used to gather those gloricus Winesaps and Limbeitwigs. It is a sad picture is it not, and will it not be a grand thing when we get the family back in the old home, the house repaired and painted, tbe big carrige back in, the barn, th? farming and labor adjusted to present day condi tions, the love for the soil re es tablished in the hearts of all the members of the household? In deed it will; aud then we will be started in a more permanently profitable agriculture. A. L. French in Proresive Parmer, Rot the Kind of a Cur. Several young men were stand ing before the desk in the Shir ley House yesterday afternoon talking about dogs. One of them thought he'd bother the telephone girl by drawing her into the dis cussion. She is pretty and good natured, but yesterdey afternoon she was very busy. "Say, Bessie," said the young man, "what kind of dogs do vou like?" The girl found time to say "fox terriers." "You do?" "Yes; I'd just love to have a nice little fox terrier." "Gee!" said the young man. "I would like to be a little fox terrier." 1 he girl smiled. "You might notfill the bill," she said. "Why not?" be asked, 'Because," she replied, after answering a call, "I'd want one bright enough to be taught some thing." San Francisco Call. m W mm Sometimes True. "A girl of 20 is ever so much older than a boy of the same age." "Sifire. I know a girl of 20 whose family bible shows that she was born in 1880." Detroit ' Free Press. . ) - ft:
