TYPEWRITER FOR SALE?We have a good hundred dollar typewriter for sale. It is a Remington make and a bargain at $30.00 the price at ? which we offer it. BEATY & LAS SITER, Smtthfield, N. C. ONE THOUSAND BUSHELS PEAS t wanted by W. M Sande.-s, 8mith ^ Held, N. C. Life a School. Education is not an end. It is u meant,. Its end is twofold?character and service. Hoys and girls and men and women art) taught in order that they may be .better and stronger themselves and in order that they may do moru for others. The two go together. The attainments that are not used in human service are sure to shrivel or to lose their sweetness. The strongest and best deeds can spring only from true and devoted characters. God's purpose in working upon us is that we may be made fit to be his fellow work men. fit for his fellowship, and fit for participation in his deeds. Dr. Habcock's familiar verses draw us the picture and teach us the les son of life as a school: Lord, let me make this rule, To think of life as school, And try my best To stand each test, And do my work. And nothing shirk. Should some one else outshine This dullard head of mine. Should I be sad? I will be glad. To do my beBt Is thy behest. If wi'ary with my book I cast a wistful look Where posies grow, 0 let me know That flowers within Are best to win. Dost take my book away Anon to let me play. And let me out To run about? 1 grateful bless Thee for recess. Then recess past, alack, I turn me slowly back, On my hard bench, My hands to clench, And set my heart To learn my part. These lessons thou dost Rive To teach me how to live. To do, to bear, To get and share, To work and play, And trust alway. What though 1 may not ask To choose my dally task? Thou hast decreed To meet my need. What pleasure thee, That shall please me. Some day the bell will sound, 8omo day my heart will bound, As with a shout That school Is out And lessons done, I homeward run. The glory of this school is that the teacher is our Father. What a Joyful school that would be on earth where the father of the children was their teacher, too, so that all would be done always In the love and In terest of the family life. Well, it Is so In the great school of the world. The teacher is our Father. He will teach us wisely. His love will never fail nor err.?R. E. Speer, in Sun day School Times. Home, Sweet Home. Home, what a magical word. No wonder, for it embodies all that is worth living for. Without a home of what benefit are riches, honor and fame? Those worldly things are of no value, except as we share them with our loved ones. Life is one gi gantic struggle with contending for ces, and It is at the threshold that wo can with safety lay down our ar mor with no fear of treachery or deception. avery person is me ar chitect of his own home to a great extent. No pleasantry ever enters unless Invited by you. Troubles will creep In and abide with you it you do not drive them out. To make a home, is the object in life of all an imal*, and It behooves us tomake the best one possible for ourselves and our loved ones. When we come to die we leave nothing but our home. The better the home, the greater the success wo were here on earth. The beasts of the field and birds of the air spend all their time in making a home and they are happy. Man is the only animal that attempts to de rive pleasure from other sources. When man goes off in search of pleas ure away from home, he is sure to meet with disappointment. Who can but notice the throngs that visit con stantly the places of amusement, and observe how unhappy the people there are. The miller, on the banks of the Dee was happy, and the king In his castle unhappy. Let us be up and doing then to make the best home for our loved ones possible.

New York IF YOU MOVE. This is the season of the year when there Is more or less moving In every neighborhood. It is sur prising that so many people will mov and not think of changing their mall. Some people take paperB and move : without saving anything about it to i tin' publisher* iiiid often tint papers I go on a year or two and are taken I out and read by non-subscribers. This is wrong treatment of publishers, both on the part of subscribers and , by the people who read the papers, knowing that they have not subscrib ed for them. We lose some every year Just in this way. We now ask every subscriber and friend and the post masters and rural carriers to help un through this moving season that the annual loss from the mov ing of subscribers may be smaller than usual. If you know of une of our subscribers who has moved, pleaBe let us know it, telling us both the old and new post office. If you move write us in full about it. S?ay to us In the letter or on the postal card. "Change my paper from postoffke to "and glva th same name or Initials as is printed on the label on your paper. This Is an important matter to us and we hope our loss will not be so great this winter as usual. We do not Bend out papers unless we ex pect pay for them. So if there is no chance to get pay for a paper we ' want to stop it. BUY YOUR OVERCOAT FROM N. II. OUANTHAM. The Benefits of Temperance. Gov. Folk, of Missouri, after the i laws forbidding the sale of liquor | on Sunday had been enforced In i Missouri, made the following state- I ment. I "Statistics carefully gathered in the large cities of tho State clearlj | show that crime has been greatly reduced since the Sunday closing I law has been strictly enforced. I have many encouraging letters from mothers and wives throughout the i State telling me of the great change that has come rlnce the enforcement of the Sunday closing law. Men who formerly spent the greater por tion of the day in corner saloons now put In the time at their homes." Whether a man be a total abstainer or not, a Prohibitionist or not, the fact must be clear to him that the evils of intemperance are immeas urable; that individually the man who does not indulge in liquor is a stronger man and a better citizen than that man would be did he in dulge in liquor, either temperately or lntemperately. Science has come to the aid of morality in this matter, and it shows through the effects of alcohol upon the body that the use of alcohol is an evil. It shows through the effect of the alochol upon tha mind and upon the will that alcohol is a great evil. Let us not depend solely upon the law to make our sons, fathers and brothers temperate men. Let mothers begin with the training of the child, teaching him the reason for the command, "Thou must not drink." Let it be through precept and example, here a little and there a little, line upon line and precept upon precept, until the new genera tion will come to the great battle of life freo and untrammeled, with all passions under control, with the will strengthened and the mind clear.?
