Jaws pLEYSROIlEPEftn JlDITOrS JEISURE JioUFS, OBSERVATIONS OF The VVarrenton Record believes that now ia a time for-small farms and makes the following sensible editorial observation : Plea for Small Farms. "With u? the day of b,g farDQ8' where hundreda of acres are in cultivation, is past, and this is the day of small farms. Here and there farms will be run on a large scale, but the tendency is toward the small farm of from one to two horses, cultivat ing from ten to fifty acres. The small farm means intensive terming. The aim of the small farmer is to improve his land so that one acre will pro duce more than three or four would under the old system. This will mean larger profits at less expense and le?-s labor." tut The following, credited to the Saturday Globe, will convey intelligence which is a surprise to many people : A Leper Colony. of Molokai, otherwise Kaanal-Fali, the 'land ot precipices,' consisting of some 200,000 acres. The settlement is on an elevated grassy plain of 8,000 acres. The climate disposes one to lassitude and sleep. There are 1,100 lepers in Molokai, and each has seven acres of ground. There is an abund ance of fresh water In the cottages, hospitals and dispensaries. Every man, woman and child may draw 21 pounds of good beef every week, a liberal supply of taro, flour or bread, rice, lea .sugar, salt, tobacco and matches.and as much good clothing as is required. A sum of money is paid to such as do not draw the full ration.1' tut The Moore County News in commenting on some scandals in Raleigh commends the News and Observer in ifs fight for a purer city government, but lays. the Responsibility on Pa of the ills rents. Fathers and mothers are admonished to hold a tighter reign on their boys and girls, and are urged not to allow children so much freedom. The level headed contemporary concludes with an observation which will apply clos er home to the readers of The Commonwealth than Carthage. It says : "This condition of affairs is not confined to any city, but unfortunately is the condition of most towns. Here in our town little boys and girls be sir. running at lorgo-ou the aireots far i-jo young, and arc allowed the priv ileges of company and receiving company when they should be" spanked and put to bed." t t t t The following news item which has appeared more than once, perhaps, is interesting both in its novelty and its reference to that humbug mag- . . nate who has attracted and fooled so many good Dowie's Eden. , people : "John Alexander Dowie, the chief overseeer of Zion City, will secure wa ter to irrigate the 2,000,000 acres of land which h has arranged to pur chase in the state of Tamaullpas, in Mexico, by tunneling into four ex tinct volcanoes, says a'special dispatch from the City of Mexico to the New York Times. The volcanoes are within the boundaries of the tract, and are full of water. Engineers believe that an inexhaustible supply of water will be secured from subterranean'sources. Dowie has agreed to pay $2 Mexican currency per acre, or a total of $4,000,000. He will establish seven cities as well as several agricultural settlements. The Mexican colo ny will be known as 'Eden,' so that there may be no confusion with the parent colony in the United States. Dowie announces that mules and hogs will not be allowed within the boundaries of the Mexican tract, and that an attempt will be made to exterminate the fleas and mosquitoes." Xttt Fekhats nothing on earth short of death itself strikes terror to human feelings like a cyclone. Those who have witnessed them and have spoken or written about them have giyen awful descrip- Are Cyclones Increasing? tfaem whoeyer a cycJone er forgets it. Sometimes when there are frequent reports of cyclones people begin to say that they are increasing and at once causes are suggested for it. Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief ot the United States Weather Bureau, is reported as saying that cyclones are neither on the increase nor decrease. The truthis,he says,there is no power on this earth that can have to do with the modifying of the forces of nature that are at work around the earth's surface. Not the clearing away ot the forests nor the cultivation of the Hoii, not the drainage of the land, not the stringing ot electric wiresnone of these things can modify in any way the sweep ot the natural forces that produce cyclones. Trof. Moore's opinion should have weight, and ac cepting what be Bays as authoritative, we are in no more danger of being sv;ept away by cyclones than were our forebears hundreds of years ago. Then truly all this is reassuring. INDIGESTION CUJiED.

Consumption always begins with a cough that lingers. A cough that hangs on and will not yield to the usual treatment,-may not mean con-sumplion-but too often it does mean this dead destroyer has gained a footing- Rydale's Cough Elixir is very successful in checking the progress of throat and lung diseases. Even con sumption, yields to its powerful in fluence, if its use is begun before the disease is too deep seated. This modern scientific remedy kills the germs that cause consumptiro. It removes the cause and helps nature rebuild the broken down ti&sne. If you havea stubborn cough, try Ry dale's Cough Elixir, it will not disap point you. E. T. Whitehead A Co.

And scatter the shadows, forbidding and stern, That lurk in your boney eyes now. Release vour red I'ps from that straight scarlet line, Let the dimple fly back to its place ; So ugly a thing as a frown, my dear, Becomes not bo fair a young face. A smile is as cheap as a frown, my deir ; "It costs such an effort," you say? "It's hard work to smile when plans all go wrong, And there's twice as much work as play?" Still counting the cost of a smile, my dear, And setting each email item down, I'm sure 'twill equal the other list The cost of a single dark frown. A smile is as cheap as a frown, my dear ; A frown costs bo much in the end. It touches with blight the rose of content, It chills the warm heart ot a friend, It hurts and it harms where its Bbadow fall, x Till in tears love is like to drown. Is it wise, my dear, to cause this dis tress, When a smile is as cheap as a frown ? A smile is as cheap as a frown, my dear, And it's better, a thousand fold. A frown is, at best ,b at a leaden weight, While a smile is a crown of gold. Bs sensible, dear, as you journey on ; Drop the weight. Wear the golden crown.

Child not Expected to Live From One Hour to Another, but Cured by Chamberlain's Colic, C hol era and Diakfhoka Remedy. " Ruth, the little daughter of E. N Dewey, of Agnewville, Va., was serious ly ill of cholera infantum last summer. " We gave her up and did not expect her to live from one hour to another," he says: "I 'happened to think of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy and got a bottle of it from the store. In five hours I saw a change tor the better. We kept on giving it and before she had taken the halt of one small bottle she was well." This remedy is for Bale by all druggists.

The average man does not save ' to exceed ten per cent, of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. Th:s being the case he cannot be too care ful about necessary expenses. Very of ten a few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for the garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the bouse often saves a doctors'! bill of several dollars. For sale by all druggists.- ;, Why? Why, when buying a book, are we influenced by the author's name? Why, by an artist's, if we purchase a picture? Why do wise buyers insist upon hav ing a reliable name on i.eaily every thing they purchase ? It is because the name attached is a safeguard of the buyer a protection against the palming off of Inferior ar ticles. This "name guarantee" we all look for in the most important things we buy, and what can be more important than our food ? Everybody knows that all Intelligent housekeepers are very particular about the buying of things to eat and drink, and nobody realizes it more than the up-to-date grocer, who caters to the wants of bis customers. For fnstance, every real grocer knows the'reason for the universal popularity ofJLion Coffee, the leader of all package coffees. He knows that its uniform purity and high quality have mads it welcome in millions of American homes for over a quarter of a century. Realizing this, he cannot but hand it out cheerfully when asked for it. Ha knows the pople accept the pack age as the guarantee of the contents. Yet there may be a few grocers left who do not recognise that the .buyer not the seller has the right of choice, and they may want to sell their loose coffee (who knows what it Is, or where it came from?) instead of Lion Coffee, which the customer asks tor, and the merits of which both know. In such cases the wisest advice is : "Change your dealer."
