Reasons For
Its Enactment.
More than eight-tenths of the
population of North Carolina live
in the country and follow agricul
tural pursuits. More than eight
tenths of the children of North Car
olina are country children. More
than 95 per cent of these never en
ter college and never- receive any
preparation for citizenship or for
making a living except what they
receive in the public schools of their
counties and communities. These
farmers and these children are en
titled to better provision at home
for better preparation' for -the life
that most of them will spend and
ought to spend on the farm, in " the
country, and for such education in
the schools as will tend -to turn
them to country life, interest them
in it, and prepare them to live it
more comfortably, more-.cohtented-
ly, and more happily '
The f ar m e rs and the
far mers' children are entitled to
be given a chance to ; provide fo r
themselves by taxation or donation
(for the chiefSburderi of the mainte
nance and equipment of the farm
life school will fall bh them) these

needs of the children, the environ-

- The county farm-life School Woiild

handling and marketing of crops,
cooking, sewing, and other subjects
pertaining to" housekeepings and
home making on the iarrrC would
send them back to the farm pre
pared to make farming more profit
able, farm life more liavbie, farm
homes more comfortable and more
beautiful. These in their various
communities would becotiie sources
of inspiration and disseminators of
agricultural information and object
ive demonstration for their neigh
bors, thereby greatly aiding the im-
pro vement of agricultaral conditions
of the entire counfy and increasing
the wealth, the taxable, values of
all property, and the general pros
perity and progress of the county
and State.
-Such a school, in the second
place,ycpuld and would, through its
faculty, carry on most valuable ex
tension and demonstration work
among the farmers and their wives
with them rom rime ' to time in1
their communities for instruction j
and demonstration in all things per-!
twining to their farm life" and work.
in this way carrying to them the
new truth and the new light, and
pointing them to the better way.
From time to time, these farmers
and their wives could and would
be gathered about the school for in
struction, for inspiration, for social
intercourse, for organization and
co-operation.
The whole lump would finally be
leveaned. Intelligence would de
mand and more money would com
ma id for country life, good roads,
good schools, ' good churches, good
vehicles, and the thousands of com
forts and conveniences that break
up the isolation of country life and
and bring into it all the best of city
life without its worst. . Thus, indeed,
bv training the children to find and
make the most of the countless
treasures God has hidden in soil
and stream, in rock and tree, in
plant and air and cloud, would the
country life be transformed into
the ideal life, and country inen and
women enter into the rich inherit
ance prepared from the- beginning
for them a healthful life of free
dom, fullness, sweetness, peace and
beauty. Then will men desire it
morerseek it jpaore, and live it more
contentedly and happily.

successful operation in many States

most successful are those in the

her to womanhood.
Mrs. Hunter has been a sufferer
for many months, but her mother
was. Every thmg was done in the
power of friends and physiciaps to
relieve her, all of which is appreciat-
ed by the husband.

THE PERFECT MAN.
There is a man who never drinks
Nor smokes, nor chews, nor swears.
Who never gambles, never flirts
And shuns all f inful snares
He's paralyzed
There is a man who never does
A thing that is not right
His wife can tell just where he is
At morning, noon and night
He's dead

was Baptized into the fellowship of
the same by Rev. J. L. Buchanan
where she remained a faithful and
and consecrated , members till God
Saw fit in His divine wisdom to call
her from earth and to transplant
her in Ms Heavenly Kingdom.
Sistef Hyatt gave evidence in her
life that she was a Christian, doing
all she could to build up and ad
vance the Lord's, Kingdom here in
the world, and was much interested
in missions, especially home mis
sions. She gave much of her time
to visiting the church members and
trying to stimulate and encourage
them to a sense of their duty and
trying to persuade sinners to be-
I come Christians. She was always

Hyatt loved the- church and was
faithful to attend as long as her
-
health would permit and she wa3 a
good worker for the Master's cause.
How much she will be missed in
the home and church no one can
tell, for she has left a vacant seat
that never can be filled. Truly a
loving companion and a good moth
er has been removed. 1
The death angel visited her home
on the 28th day of March 19ia and
clipped the brittle thread of life and
her spirit returned to God who gave
it. Her body was laid to rest by
the side of her husband in the
Hyatt cemetery to await the final
resurrection, The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. J. H. . Wil
son of Bryson City.
Sister Hyatt was 88 years 5
months and 11 days oid. Her life
was long here on earth but now it
has come to a close and she has
gone to join her loved ones that
have gone on before an$ to spend
the countless ages ever by her Sav
ior's side. She leaves children,
grand children and many friends to
mourn their loss but we believe
their loss is her eternal gain, for the
Spirit sayeth Blessd are they that
die in the Lord, for they shall rest
from their labor and their works do
follow them. v
She has gone from this Vale of
Tears,
Gone from this world of woe,
Earth's transient hopes and fears
That heart no more may know;
No more, no more.
Resolved, That we bow in. hum
ble submission to the will of Him
who doeth all things welL
Resol vedsecond, That we extend
our sympathy to the bereaved fam
ily and friends. " 7 V
