A WORD IN SEASON.
The First Mild Day of March.
It is the first mild day of March:
each minute sweeter than before,
The redbreast sings from the tall
larcn that stands beside our
door.
There is a blessing in the air, which
seems a sense of joy to yield
To the bare trees and mountains bare,
and grass in the green field.
Love, now a universal birth, from
heart to heart is stealing,
.brom earth to man, from man to
earth; it is the hour of feeling.
One moment now may give us fifty
years of reason : -Our
minds shall drink at every pore
the spirit of the season.
Some silent law our hearts will make,
which they shall long obey:
We for the year to come may take
our temper from to-dav.
And from the blessed power that rolls
about, below, above,
YTT Jll J - il
veu irame Tne measure ot our
souls: they shall be tuned to love.
Then come, my sister! come, I pray,
with speed put on your woodland
dress :
And bring no book: for this one day
we 11 give to idleness.
William Wordsworth (to his sister.)
I have no special news to send you
at present. Farmers are badly be
hind about their farm work, they
having done but little plowing last
fall, and during the last two months
weather conditions have been such
that very little plowing has been
done. No oats sown yet. Some wheat
injured by the cold weather in Feb
ruary, but farmers think there will
be a fair stand, if no further contin
gency occurs. We are all well pleased
with your paper, and think $1.00
when invested in its is well invested.
A. J. Long, Sr., Jackson Co., N. C.
TRAGEDY AVERTED.
"Just in the nick of time our little
boy was saved" writes Mrs. W. Wat
kins of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneu
monia had played sad havoc with him
and a terrible cough set in besides.
Doctors treated him, but he grew
worse every day. At length we tried
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, and our darling was saved.
He's now sound, and well." Every
body ought to know, it's the only
sure cure for Coughs, Colds and ail
Lung diseases. Guaranteed by all
druggists. Price 50 cents and $1.00.
Trials bottles free.
For the first time in four years the
State of Delaware has secured full
representation in the United States
Senate. At a special session the
State Legislature last week elected
State Senator J. Frank Allee (Union
Republican) to the Senatorship,
which expires in 1907, and Congress
man L. Heisler Ball (Regular Re
publican) to the term expiring in
1905. The selection was undoubted
ly due to pressure from Washington
brought to bear upon the regular Re
publicans in the Legislature who have
all along been opposed to the election
of J. Edward Addicks or any of his
adherents to the United States Sen
ate. Congressman Dick, of Ohio,
came to Dover in the interest of Re
publican harmony. He advised the
acceptance "by the regular Republi
cans of the Union Republicans' prop
osition agreed upon in Philadelphia
Saturday that a Union Republican
be selected for the long term Sena
torship and a regular Republican for
the short term, Addicks himself be
ing eliminated.
