May the gifts of the approach- 1 mi i ni.An. . -...ii,, 1 creased interest in this worthy cause Few situations in life are more distressing than that of children with - out homes. No loss seems so grea as that of parental love. Bereavement inflicts its stroke with acutest anguish when it cuts all the! (lender , ties that bound the loving lives of father and mother to our devoted heart. Other sorrows, other losses, we may bear with fortitude. Other bereavements, even, seem not to fill our spirit .with, such bitter humiliation; for they come to us in after life, when we have somewhat learned to -bear the lessons of grief, and. when manhood or wo manhood has brought us increased power and endurance. ' Childhood, with all its ignorance, of worldly sorrows, and with all its frail ty of spirit,' is overwhelmed by tribu lation of being orphaned. The orphan, therefore, is entitled to peculiar sym pathy and protection. The child be reaved of its natural guardianship and left, in its innocency ana tears, to the tenderness, of n cold world be comes the, very symbol of defenseless affliction; and as such,. it should re ceive the protection of every-man's arm and the affection of every wo man's heart We have seen, perhaps, the actual exemplification of all uhe suffering home pictures. We remem- er the dark and tearful day of Burial. iWe seem again to seethe child with trange fear and fcrief , tvKning its ittle arms about its parent's neck, anfl covering with kisses the cold Ucheeks. We think , of the passionate outbursts of sorrow when the loved 1 form was borne away. a I jfhen more sad even than al) this, wa call to mind the long years of sbr- Toy, suffering and loneliness that iol loed.

The Machinery Apt, under whicn property is listed, is not a mere joke. It's the law of the State of North Carolina, and the oath your listeners took or should have taken to list prop erty at its true value in money is a solemn oath. See the oath of a list taker Sec. 45, Machinery Act; also see Section 60. ft pepviaes thatgthe equalization Boarn (Tie Colnty Ojbm missioners) "Shall equalise the Val uation so that each tract or lot of land or article of personal property shall be entered on the tax list at its true value in money." f Then from the article, Ml Commis sioners, it looks like if you had been listing with the Intention of carrying out the law or legal frate of $1.7g property would have lopked moreval uable to you.
