GOOD SCHOOtSfAtID ROADS..
IJo county in the State' has
made better progress in schools
tlian' Wilkes abdi we are still
goibg.forward along this . line.
We: have been backward in
buildiog roads, but we believe
that the counter is going to do
something for better roads.
The Conbord Times, in writing
along these lines, says:
'.'There has been very notica
ble increase in -sentiment dur
ing the past year, or two, and
especially during the past few
months for better and'longeV
term schools and better roads
in this section, andi for the
matter of the state. The peb
pie have begun to realize some
thing of the real value of good
roads and of good schools.
Good roads easily double the
value of farming lands. This
has been demonstrated in every
place in which modern high
ways have been built. And
not only do the good roads
double the market price
of lands, but they greatly in
crease the value" of the pro
ducts of the soil. In remote
sections the transportation of
the product to market is quite
a considerable -expense. In
fact, many farm products- for
which there is a merket never
reach market for the simple
reason that the transportation
is so great that they are not"
marketed at all.
Schools stand for an intelli .
gent citizenship, progressive
ness and happy homes. Good
schools linked with good roads
and-improved and intelligent
farming methods will stop the
immigration of the boys and
girls of the rural sections to
the cities and nothing else will
stop tnem

H0f.1E, SWEET H0L1E. :
Home! What a hallowed
name! .How f ulli oif f enchant
ment and how dear to the heart
Home is the magic circle with
inr which the weariest spirit
finds refuge. The word home
touches every fiber of the soul.
Ask the lonely 'wanderer who
plods along his way;' bent with
the weight, of age and white
the frost of years, u What is
home?" He - will say it is - a
green spot in .memory, a cen 7
ter about which- the- fondest
recollections of his grief-opprss
ed heart clings with all the
tenderness of youth's first love
Home has an Influence which is
stronger than death. It is law
to our hearts and binds us with
a spell which neither time nor
chance- can break. Nor mere
ly friends and kindred ren
der that home so dear, but the
very hills and streams throw a
charm around the place of one a
nativity. It is no wonder
that grandest harps are. turned
to singof "Home sweet borne."
No songs are sweeter than
those we heard among, the
boughs that shade our parents'
dwellings when-some evening
hour found us gay- as the bird
that warbles o'er us We- may
wander away and mingle with
the. worlds strife, from new as
sociations and fancy we have
we have forgotten the land of
our birth; but as we listen, per
haps, to thoe summer winds,
the remembrances of- other
days come oyer the soul and
fancy bears us back to child
hood days and home! -We may
find climes as beautiful and
friends as dear but they will
not usurp the place of "Home
sweet home." Florence More
