BSIOStXJ or TIE HOME. Now I ; ne T .u for Books and Music and G: ties aid HearihJtoae Gather ings? Is Your H me One Where These Things are Found7 Nov, as we arj approaching not only the season of clouded skies and unpleasant weather, but also the season of good cheer and festivity, is the time of all others to think about the brightening up of the house, and the making of an attractive place to live for both young and old. The home should be the pleas antest place in the world to the boys and girls; and the making of such a home is a life's work worthy of the most gifted of the most aspiring. If the boys and girls of ? lur {family?and of our neighbor's family for that mat ter?do not enjoy gathering in the house to interest them, there is something very wrong somewhere about it. Are there books in your home such as young folks like to read, stories and poetry and histories and books of information? If not, there is something being missed by all who live there. Books cost very little nowadays; and the boy or girl who grows into Jmanhood or womanhood without having learned to love to read misses more of the sweetness and beauty of life than he or she can ever know. Are there pictures on your walls, and some growing plants by the windows, something to make the place attractive as well as comfortable? Surely you could have these things if you wished. Is there any provision for mu sic or games or any of the i amusements so dear to the i hearts of the young? Someone i has said that no home is com plete without a musical instru ment of some kind; and there is i not so much exaggeration in i the statement. Why not a piano i or an organ, a flute are a violin? t If tbere is any one who has any I taste for music, that taste i should certainly be encouraged i If no one can play at all, you c*o i still have a phonograph. It is worth while to think of 1 all these things as the Christmas season approaches. If half of the money that will be spent for sheer foolishness, for useless trinkets and fantastic gewgaws, should be spent for books and i pictures and games and musical instruments, many homes would have a beauty and a brightness and an air of friendliness the i whole year round that they have < never had before. But above all that which makes the uOme cheerful and glad aud dear to those who share it is the spirit that Alls and governs it. , If love is there for the inmates, ( and friendliness for all who ( come, aud hope and cheerfulness and the spirit of helpful ;aspira. tion, M; will be a home in the fullest sense of the word. L hough jbjmay be humble and plain, it will be the dearest Jplace in the world to those who share it. So at this season of peace and good-will let us not only try to make our homes ^attractive to the eye and interesting to the mind, but let us throw over them also the spell that binds the heart.?Aunt Mary, in Pro gressive Farmer.

Obituary. On the morning of November 28th, the numinous, to which we tili nm*fc un*\v? r, mine to Mo zelle (Jurle>, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mm. Charlie Gurle.y. She suffered a etubboru aud linger ing attack ol typhoid fever dur ing which her geutie, loving and nubmisMve disposition proved to tier friends that her soul was in constant communion with her Master. The funeral was Jcouducted on Sundav at the home by Itev. Mr. Farmer, of Wilson, after which the remains were borne to the family burying ground and there laid to rest beneath a mass of flowers, her friends and class mates, Waverly Edwards, Clif ton Holt, Herbert Fitzgerald, Clifford Gulley. Herman Raiford, I)r. Woodard, Hubert Kaiford and Malcolm McKinne, acting as pall bearers. A girl of fifteen whose life was lived in such an air of love, of gentleness, of purity and with all these virtues embodied in ,her face manner and character we can easily understand the quick transformation of her acquaint ances to admirers and friends. It was her teachers her school mates, her class associates and others of those who knew her best that loved her most, and now are those who feel most keenly her absence. The knowl edge that it was His will is our only solace for there are none, her place, can fill. Besides many other reasons, we her teachers loved her for the ideal pupil she was, constantly diligent in her wori, ever atten tive to our instruction and al ways grateful and kind. She was especially brilliant in certain lines of her work, especially mu sic, in which she was highly tal ented. May those who are most af flicted by this sad bereavement, find consolation in the undoubt ed conviction that she has ex changed a woi Id of sorrow and trouble, for one of everlasting happiness, and may they who now realize how quickly death doth snatch the bloom from the earth?the light from the sky, look alone for hope to that city whose maker and builder is Goa.
