They had reared sev eral boys but they had left home as soon as they were grown ami were far away. The old people told the stranger that the hoys had .ill gone to sea and were; sail ors. The mother asked why it was that her boys were sailors since they were reared on the farm and far away from any ?hipe. The stranger was sur prised at their being sailors, but could not an?wer the question. After awhile he was conducted to a rpom where he spent the night , On the walls of iTiat room wen pictures hanging, and among the] number n fine picture of a large ship moving on the waters of ?, great ocean. Next morning the stranger asked the mother where she got the picture of that ship which was hanging in the room. CI. 4.,1.1 !>!?. 4 Kit 4 ?> l-i.Mt* i.f i UWi DIM' lum nun iuat u ?? "? ? "" after her marriage a sailor paus ed through the neighborhood and spent a night in their house and next morning gave them that picture. Later she placed it in the boys' room where it had hung for many years. The stran ger said to her: "Now I know why your boys are sailors. They looked at that picture until they wanted to get on a ship like it and cross the great ocean. You made them sailors by placing that picture before them." No doubt this was true. The life of many a l>oy hn? been changed and shaped by the idea* set before him. We should be very particular and carclui as the company the boys keep anfcjUu1 books or papers th>y readT^'S'o paper which teaches wrong vjt.'vs of life should ever ^?0 jnto the hyuies of young peo ple. No paper containing liquor advertisments should ever be placed before the eyes of a boy. You cannot afford to lei such papers go into your home to be jread by the boys. As they read those advertisments they see the piciim. of men shipping liquor, the picture of men receiving and drinking liquor and il has a ten dency to incline them to that kind of life. Parents, be careful as to the pictures which come before your boys. BIRTHDAY OF LEE. North Carolina has made tin birthday of General Robert E. Lee a 1 I lioli Uy. I.a ..

Throughout our entire community Horrow prevails and th<; countenances of all are saddened with regret: for on Wednesday af ternoon just as the golden sun was slowly setting and thus marking the close of another day, the soul of Mrs. Carrie Fuller went to the God who gave It, and so closed the life of one whose noble character had for more than a third of a century been conspicuous in the aocial and business life of our city.
