Beautiful eyes are those that show, Like crystal panes where heart fires glow, Beautiful thoughts that burn below. Beautiful lips are those whose words Leap from the heart like the song of birds, Yet whose utterance prudence girds. Beautiful hands are those that do Work that is honest, brave and true, Moment by moment the long day through. Beautiful feet are those that go On kindly ministries to and fro, Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so. Beautiful shoulders are those that bear Ceaseless burdens of homely care With patient grace and daily prayer. Beautiful lives are those that bless Silent rivers of happiness, Whose hidden fountains but few may euess. Be Generous. Selected. What is the use of always fretting? Of course, there are in life things Hard to bear, but does fretting make the burden easier to be borne? A rainy day may spoil a pleasure excursion, but will complaining make one drop of rain fall less? The rain which spoils your plans makes the dry earth laugh' and gives to the farmer a bright vision of an abundant harvest. The August sun, which makes your head ache, softens the hard fruit upon the trees and turns the acid into sweetness. So try hard not to be selfish. That which may not suit you may suit the rest of the world. Be generous and take an interest in the welfare of oth ers ; in this way you Avill find" happy thoughts nestling in your soul, like a flock of cheerful singing birds. Then voxi win nave a smn uu .mh juvc music in your voice ; your path in life will be bright with heaven's own light. But the selfish man must walK in the hadow ; if nothing makes him unhap py there will be something within. He who seeks his own happiness only will surely miss it ; but he who seeKs tne ood will of others will have his reward here and hereafter. Free Fills. Send your address to H. E.

Life is rather a state of embrycj a preparation for life ; a man is not com pletely born until he has passed through death. Franklin. There is this difference between hap piness and wisdom. He that thinks himself the happiest man is really so, but he that thinks himself the wisest man is usually the greatest fool. Bacon. SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, COUNTY GOVERNMENT. FULL TEXT.

Reflector. First : The subscriber who pays his subscription promptly in advance. Second : The man, woman, boy or girl who introduces him to a news item. Third : The subscriber who is not afraid to tell the editor when he sees something in the paper that particu larly pleases him. Fourth : The scbscriber who doesn't hesitate to tell the editor frankly when he sees something in the paper that doesn't please him. Every one of these four classes the editor of a live newspaper "needs in h;s business." The editor of a live newspaj. must have close collections, m'st publish all the news and must oe in close touch with the minds and hearts of his readers. Three of a Kind. An exchange speaKs of three of the most stingy men on record. The first will not drink as much water as he wants unless it comes from his neigh bor's well. The second forbids his fam ily to write anything but a small hand as it is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops the clock to save the wear and tear of machinery. They all refuse to take a newspaper on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read. All Tree.
