VOLUMN XII.
When a Man is Single.
Printed for benefit of our bachelors,
Olarriage? Don't suggest such
a thing to me," said a young bach
elor to me the other ay. i7 want
ed to argue with hira, but I could
not. Instead I sought another
bachelor, a gray-haired man. whose
life is behind hira, and who looks
at the world with wise eyas, i
'Why didn't yon marry!" I de
raanded and told him of my con
versation with the callous cynic.
"He says that marriage hampers
a man in these days, that the per
centage of divorces makes it too
much of a lottery, that he would
rather be unhappy alone than to
make some woman unhappy. What
do you think about it!"
My wise old friend shook his
head. "I used to talk like that,"
he said, "but I know better now
now that I am too old to offer to
the woman I could love, anything
that is worthy of her. How can
bestow upon her worn out emo
tions, and the remnants of a life
that has been lived selfishly! I
am a slave to habits that are not
evil, but which would irritate a
wife. I like my own way in ev
erything; yet as I look back, T wish
I might have been swayed by some
strong influence which would have
shown me something more beauti
ful, something less selfish than my
life as I live it. I know that there
is nothing so precious as wife love.
I envy the men who are traveling
toward the sunset with their com
panions by their sides. I envy
them the clasp of the hand, the
comforting assurance of devotion,
the sweetness of tried sympathy."
It was a long speech for my old
friend to make, and it involved a
confession which he would not
have voiced a feweararSriierr
It i3 not a good thing lor a man
to live alone, and I say this, not
merely from the feminine point of
view which idealizes the home re
lationship, but rather from the
masculine business point of view
which places incentive at the head
of the reasons for a man's success.
We read that the Spartans in
their efforts to make their people
hardy, destroyed family interde
pendence. The State was respon
sible rather than the father for the
welfare of the children. The re
sult was weakening rather , than a
strengthening of the nation. The
citizen who is a power in a com
munity is usually the one who has
felt the burden of responsibility.
The care-free boy, as a ruledevel
ops into an irresponsible man. The
bachelor lacking the spur of a fam
ily's need drifts and. does not
reach the goal.
Much of the joy of life is missed
by the bachelor who has no one to
whom he can talk of himself. Men
are egotistical, they like to confide
in some one who believes in them.
The loving wrfe always believes in
her husband. The bachelor may
seek many wonten, but, unless he
ties himself to one by law, he can
never be sure that she is giving
him a sympathy untainted by a
like devotion to another.
A man needs a woman in his
life to help him over the hard
places, to cheer him on when he
falters. If he is single, some wo
man may do this for a ' time, but
she will yearu for a closer tie, and
the day will come when another
man will offer it to her, and the
bachelor will be left alone.
A famous preacher has voiced a
man's need when he says:
"Wherever Thy Providence pla
ces me, or whatever be the road I
take to get to Thee, give me some
companion in my journey, be it on
ly to remark to 'How the shadows
hugthen as the sun goes down to
whom I may say 'How fresh is the
fice of nature, how sweet the fiow
of the field, how delicious1 are
these fruits.' "

banking houses in this section of the state, as well as one of the safest. Adjoining the bank on the south is the
United States Postoffice, which is fitted up with all modern improvements, and is a credit to the town. On the

Mean Old Landmark.
The Statesville Landmark glee
fully dishes out this information:
The Landmark had something to
drink on election day and it makes
bold to tell about it. Mr. Jas O.
Gudger, a good friend who lives
down near the Mecklenburg line,
in the vicinity of Mt. Mourne ship
ped the office by express, prepaid,
two quarts of pure locusfand per
simmon beer, made since the kill
ing frost ripened the 7simmons; and
along with that locust and 'sinircon
beer was a ginger cake baked by
Mr. Guderer's mother, who will be
85 years old the 12th of next Feb
ruary, and you may be assured the
ginger cake was baked right and
it and the beer made jl treat that
was appreciated.
Now, if the Landmark really
didnt drink anything stronger
than persimmon beer, it may be
all right to tell abont it, but after
all we don't see very much pro
priety in bragging . about it and
having the months of his brother
editors a watering all in vain.

Anson Boy's Success as a Farmer.
Wadesboro Ansonian.
There is a boy in Anson county
who fanned on his own account
this year, renting a small farm from
his father. He did his own work
and did not spend hU nights in
drinking aud carousing around the
community but got some wholesome
pleasure at watching the results of
his labor. He studied and follow
ed the best and mot up-to-date
methods of farming and we have it
on reliable information that he will
clar not a cent less than $500 on
jthe crop raised by himself, after
rent and all other expenses are paid.
He began during the first of the
year and now has a few months to
spend at another business, where
he will clear a few dollars every
week. The man who thinks and
works is making money; the man
who loafs and dissipates, ought to
starve.

children in Surry county, this State
I J. E. Hampton, insurance agent at
Raleigh was last week carried to
Bristol on a requisition from the
Governor of Virginia to stand trial.
He was passing asTa single man in
Raleigh and boarding in the fami

admits his Bristol misconduct.
Couldn't Stand it.
A lady visiting Denver suffered
greatly from the elevation. One
day, after an attack, she sighed,
'I can hardly breathe I believe
I'm dying."
Will yon go to heaven if you
die?" inquired her little girT, anx
iously. "I hope so, dear."
"Oh, mamma dear," sobbed the
little one, "don't go to heaven; you
could never stand the altitude."

The Science of Kissing.
Printed by Request of a Mocksville Sportl
.Peple' will kiss. Yet not. one
iu a hundred knows how to ex
tract bliss from lovely lips, any
more than they know how to make
diamonds from charcoal. And yet
it is easy, at least for some. First,
know whom you are going to kiss.
Don't make a mistake, although a
mistake may be good. Don't jump
like a trout for a fly, and smack a
woman on the neck, on the ear, or
the corner of the forehead or the
end of her nose. The gentleman
should baa little the taller. He
should have a clean face, kind eye,
and a mouth full of expression.
Don't kiss everybody. Don't sit
down to it. Stand up. Need not
be anxious about getting in acrowd.
Two persons are plenty to catch
and corner a kiss; more persons
would spoil the sport. Take the
left hand of the lady in your right;
let your hat go to any place out
of the way; throw the left hand
gently over the shoulder of the
lady, and let it fall down the right
side. Do not be in a hurry; draw
her gently, lovingly to your heart.
Her head will fall gently on your
shoulder, and a handsome shoulder-strap
it makes. Do not be in a
hurry. Her left hand -in your
right; let there be an impression
to that, not like the grip of a Vise,
but a gentle clasp full of - electric
ity, thought and respect. Do not
be in a hurry. Her head lies care
lessly on your shoulder. You are
heart to heart.' Look down into
her half closed eyes. Gently but
manfully press her to your bosom.
Stand firm. Be brave, but don't
be in a hurry. Her lips are al
most open. Lean slightly forward
with your head, not the body.
Take good aim; the lips meetj the
eyes close; the heart opens; the
soul rides the storms, troubles and
sorrows of life (don't be in a hur
ry); heaven opens before you; the
world shoots undei your feet as a
meteor flashes across the evening
sky (don't be afraid) the heart for
gets its bitterness, and the -art of
kissing is learned. No fuss, no
noise, no fluttering and squirming
like hook-impaled worms. Kiss
ing don't hurt, nor does it require
an act of Congress to make it legal.

interested in roofing material have
profited thereby. The Cortright
Company is by far the largest mak

and their product is well and fav
orably known over the entire Unit

to give prompt attention to inquir
ies and to either send samples and
quote prices to those likely to be in
need of roofing, or to refer them to
a nereby local agent.
