And if yoh press them for a reason. -hey wil? look at you as though they expected to see sij?n3 of softening of the brain, and perhaps pitvinelv ex plaih that a person with a hobby is a crank and a nuisance M every one he meets. Don't you believe any such thin?. - : ' ' Of course people withhobbies may be nuisances, and a man eating soup may make, a most annoying performance , fo the person next to him; but one con dition is no more inevitable than the other, Id the first place, wha is a hobby? A hobby is something in which a man or womao is par ticularly interested,' and which he "rides," as we say, on all available opportunities, much to the benefit andvenlightenment of humanity, in numberless cases ; Why; the riding of hobbies is the history of civilization. Just pick out a hobby-rider or two- Wright brothers, Orville tint Wil bur, for instance, ' The principle of, heavier-tHan-air -flight was their hobby: and nobody has to tell vou what they did Jor ayia tion. tiThvthotrtattirtart: round, and that a ship could sail around it, at least until she reached another shore, was hobby for many years with a Genoese mariner who most of us believe was the discoverer of the New World But these are instances of what the riding of , hobbies has done for humanity at large. There is another side of the question every bit as Important, and that is. what will a hobby do for the rider? Well, we'll have to agree that tbe man who isn't interested jn some -One thing is a pretty weak sort of specimen. And as a mat ter of fact, there are more hob by riders than we suppose. Some people make business their hob UJy; and they ride it pretty hard, too. This is all right, and they have Bible backing, for the Scrip tures say: "Seest thou a man dU igsnt in hlq. business? He shall stand before kings." And while this latter reward, may not be such a powerful incentive in this day and land, we can take it as it was meant at the time it was written. .A--':':-:. ' ''vX01MViV;.iV' But a nobby outside of one's daily labors is really the best kind of a hobby to ride, because it not only' tempts us to-the com-' plete change : of mind ' and thought and action which is nec essary to keep us in mental trim, but, by holding our interests, causes the pendulum - to swing ust as far in the 'opposite direc tion, and so keeps us from be coming mentally lop-sided. ,. Of course, we are .talking of safe, sane, and beautiful he o bies; nothing vicious may be con doned simply on the ground that it is a hobby.' But suppose that we-take nature study, out of doors as a hobby for the man whose vacation keeps him main ly, inside, pr wood-carving or carpentering for the fellow who is walking, or driving 'about in the weather a good many hours every day, ' This is the kind of hobbies to take up, the balancing kind.They will do you good, mentally; and physically. ;-', ; ',- yJ' r' One thing is .su ;j'You'ir sel dom find a v man with . a hobby hanging ' around a barroom or loafing on the street orner. l Ad Important Law. - t!

Wilmington Star. Greensboro evidently will re tain her lead as North Carolina's insurance city, for three or four well established companies are doing' business there on an in creasingly large scale, Greensbo ro made a ten strike when tbe movement was started in the South to organize its own insur ance companies and keep its in surance money at home. Tlwt enterprising city seems to have known how and she has made a bigsucceBs along that line. In that respect, the Gate City is both a benefactor and a beneficiary, since her insurance companies are keening Southern money at home and some of that money is building up the fine citv of Greensboro. It is pretty well assured that the Jefferson Standard Insurance Company will erect the finest building in the city. It has of fered $150,080 for the Guilford county court house site, so that the county is in luck in having its property where it has im mensely increased in value. No doubt the county will sell, but whether it does or not, the Jef- ierson standard win build some where else in the city. It is now a big institution and ., is worth a great deal to Greensboro.

Quite a number of people were Cbr?pointed Sunday because Rev; L. A. Parker failed to fill his appointment here with the Baptist church. He had written the senior deacon of the church that business in Kentucky would prevent his meeting with' his church but the news had not been widely circulated. General re gret is expressed at his decision not to serve the church here long er. Bro. Parker has serve! the crfurch here continuously and faithfully for the past three years making a worthy under shepherd The work of the Lord has pros pered in bis hands, the congre gations have been large and ap preciative, the Sunday School has taken, on new life and the church generally is in the upgrade. He has received into the church thir ty by baptism besides a goodly number by letter. By his pure life and godly conversation Bro. Parker has endeared himself to the people here, regardless of de nomination, and as he goes to an other field we commend him to the people among whom his lot may be cast as a worthy and up right minister of the gospel, and we, of Seaboard, assure him that our loveesteem and prayers will follow him wherever he may go. ana mac we win appreciate a visit from him any time it may be convenient. .
