TOB FARMERS SMOKEHOUSE Of all questions that agitate, •nd should agitate the iiiiiidn of every farmer, is the one of filling the smokehouse _*i)b meat for the coining year Kvery reasonable inan will tell you that no part of his expense draws upon hie resources a* does the purchase of meat for his table. It is a prime neces-j •ity ; the man who can boast j of plenty of hogVnrd hominy i* •trong'.y entrenched against the burdens that may fall upon j him. In the year of 1902—a yea> of enormous prices in focxli ■tuffs —the meat question ha.-' grown in itnpoiUuce with the" eoal agitation. But while the 1 fttper in our cannot j and has no need to settle the latter, lie is the ah important factor in tbe hog industry at home. He bums wood and has plenty of it, and with store of juicy meat, potatoes ■' and bread, is in a small way as ' | independent as the coal barons 'i of the North. 1 I 1 Now thcro are many farm ers who are either unfortunate or do not properly manage along this line. Some even say that 'lis cheaper to raise to -1! bacco, etc., and buy food stuffs. I This is surely false reasoning Raise tobacco and all markct ■ able crops, of course, but al Ihe same time keep your hogs in good condition by a crop of peanuts, potatoes aud corn. I The farmer who comes to town and buys meat does not pros per. You might examine the affairs of the farmers of Martin and without exception the most prosperous raise meat for home consumption and for the mark et. Think of the meat value now and the man who can raise it has a splendid prospect for an increase of his bank account We desire to bring this great necessity to tho closer atten tion of every farmer. Of course, there are disadvantages—chol era and many other disasters may occur during the year. Meet every discouragement with a strong determination to conquer next time. Cholera is so often caused by improper treatment—unhealthy ranges and poor food largely tend to hinder healthy conditions. iQYitli hams at 16 cts, pork 121, and lard i'lh, tho pros-* Ipccts for tbe wise and fortun ate farmer arc above par. If (he farmer can keep afloat him- I ijolf, he becomes a helper in tho general good of his county. America's Famous hcau.ies. Look with huriot on Skin Erup tions, Blotches, Sores, J*htij>lcs.

We hail the pleasure of j meeting Alfred K. WhitniOte, the j able aud hrillia t editor of the newsy ENTKKI-KISK. whom we found to be ainoug the cleverest of clever fellows, aud we are safe iu saying that his polished and fecund pea is one of the potent and pow erful factors in Williamston's rapid strides to brilliant piosperity. We also met that rising and promising young lawyer, G. W. Newell, and from the few introductory remarks we heard him make we here pro nounce him a speaker of ornate and persuasive eloquence, and full of convincing and thrilling power. And we met Mr. Sutton, the very popular Methodist pallor, whom we fouud to be a most charming and lovable Christian minister, and to whose courtesy we are un- Jder many obligations, but he could! not be otherwise than polished and lefiued. for he has a most lovable wife, in whose ministry all the dross is burned off and remov ed, and only the pure gold of ex-' cellence is left." f i We desire to give somebody a J Steel Range and at the same time I increase our subscription list.

Alfred Eugene, infant son of Al ■ fred E. and Katherine Whitmore, I died on JWsday, the 14th of Octo (| ber, 1902, after au illness of several weeks. This little flower burst into bloom ' on May 20th, aud had by the fra -1 grance of sweetest babyhood made ■ more glorious tbe atmosphere of 1 the home-life and fastened, deep, t its tendrils into the hearts wli»e treasure it was. But He, who called little chil ! dren unto Him and blessed them, ' bad need of it in tbe adornment of 1 the Garden above, and in infinite 1 love and mercy, released it from . earthly pains to dwell with Him for ever. Rev. T. H. Sutton, assisted by ' Rev. B. K. Mason, conducted the ' funeral services st the residence, using the beautiful and impressive ritual of tbe M- E. Church, South. The casket was tenderly borne tq Oafcdale Cemetery and interred at the conclusion of the services. Pall-bearers were: C. D. Car 1 starphen, Dr. Jno. D. Biggs, W. C. 1 Manning and S. S Brown.

In the city of Brooklyn, New | York, 83 per cent of the juveniles |are redeemed, and only 10 per cent |of the adults This shows the im ' portanoe of early training. We should .save the boys from hardness in crime. It is the duty of the State to help in this great cause,—v'tis the cause of humanity. We recall the words of a thoughtful writer: "Yes these are they whom yon are pleased to call criminal, but who are the cul pable?" IIKLBARNKD A oRHAT TRUTH.
