The one subject that has always attracted the at tent ion of real states men, especially in recent years, is that of the uplifting of rural life. Mr. fioosevelt and -Mr. t.ryan have both in a do their strongest speeches upon it. In fact, men who think have nitiu' to realize that on the farmers hangs the destiny of 4 the l"i iu d Siatvs, and even of the whoh world. Among the most powerful factors Ir. upliiting rural life is that of proud roads. There are two general ways i:. which ihose benefit the far mers a iid the world namely, by (1) Increasing the commerce and wealth ot the rural districts and by (2). helping so improve the general cul ture of those who reside in rural districts. Mow many rood roads inVrease the walth ef the land through which thev are built? There are ma ny answers to Ibis (juesTiou. some of which are: t 1 Good roads increase the val ue of lands in their vicinity. For instance, a farmer of .Mecklenburg County, which has the best roads in North" Carolina, was asked the in fluence the macadam road had on the price of land, ile replied -There a-re now no lands for sale, but if an y were lor sate ;n v. owns -. vi r;h at least is situated or. ..u0 per acre more, the macadam road were before we had than t hey the road."

I ' you That Beg,ias Rack Hast and linds Here Cieiteiotis Uncle Rill Gives Timely Atlx ice to his Newly Mar ried Niece. iii a remote hamlet back lived a demure maiden and a ful man, wfto had for some been living wiihoiu one and east the same object before them. Goth were hopeless victims of "love micorbes" That were doing the most effectual work under the direction ol Cupid himself. Finally Harry suddenly woke up one day and decided that procrastination was the thief of time and bliss, and be immediately set about to bring matters ft) a focus. Very soon there was a wed- i ding, and it .wasn't much longer be fore their Uncie Bill Taylor, of Ox- i ford wrote effusively of what lie : teemed "grit" and proposed that if they would locate here, he would s art them up in life. Very soon ; ibey began to bid love ones adieu and were soon speeding in this di- . l ection. "When the train pulled in, gen leicus Uncle Rill was at The depot greet them and welcome a much eiated couple, and after hearty con i gratulations, he conducted them : straight-way to the Exchange Hotel. It was at breakfast. Table next morn ing while partaking of a tempting ! menu that was politely served, t .bat Uncle Bill first unfolded his ; plans to the appreciative new comers, obligating himself, first of all to build and furnish for them a modern home. "But in the mean time," he said "you will find this , place a pleasant and most agreea ' ble place to live, since it is widely known as our best appointed and a most zealously managed hotel, and a favorite with the "Knights ot" the Grip" under the. good manage ! nient of Mr. L. F. Smith who per sonally looks after the welfare of : those under the roof of the Ex change Hotel." "Come said the generous Cnde I rising from the breakfV.s! table.t'ne pleasure is now mine t in: rod nee to you ear town, your future home. Then, too, 1 want to arretige to build the new house- right a way. And of course, it is important ua.t we i select a pleasant and healthful lo cation where we may have agreea ble ; enviroumenis about us. i.incle ; Bill was soon astir, and the young i couule were eager and beaming with expectancy. ' First we shall go in : and confer with Granville Peal Es ; ca t.e & Trust Company oar well in- formed and wide awake real estate and 'Insurance men here, where is always listed the best residence and, i business properties in town, or in jthe country about, who will honestly ! represent same." Just a little later the trio were courteously received ; at the office, and it wasn't long be ; fore The Granville Real Estate & Trust Co., had a check for an attract j ive residence site, on which Uncle I Bill will at once have erected a I eandscrne residence. "Xow I am at sea, said Uncle Bill. It beats all how they ' build houses these days, considering the ! way they built thevn fifty years ago. ; Why, the modern houses of to-day i have conveniences and comforts ' that one of my time never dreamed : of. But I know one who can help us ; out of this dilemma," he, suddenly 1 rc mem bering W. H. Fogleman as a man of ripinal ideas in practical architecture and building; also as being actively asso ciated with the building interests here. Mr. W. H. Fogleman very g:nm has the plans ready for a pre tentious $5,000 residence for the bride. The interior is rennaissance of Gothic effect, symmetrical in appearance and commodious to a tie gi.ee in its interior arrangement,and is just what the bride had longed tor, the construction of which, will be begun by him at once. "Good lumber and good material go hand in hand with good work manship when it comes to building a good house. The appearance or suWant.ialness such depends al so upon the euaii.y of the. rni'I-v.ork ; used in obtaining a finir-shed effect. !
