Knjercd Id (be Pott Olllcc ?l Form vllle, N. C., u ftccond ctaM mail matter. ' FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1915. ? J; " An Ideal Citizen. There is a gentleman in this town, known to us nil, who is ju& about our ideal of a good citizen. . He is making his money here, lib is raisin? and educating his family here, and he expe<5ts to live and die here. When he has any money to spend he firftt looks carefully over the advertisements in this paper. If hg finds what he wants he goes there and gives that merchant the fir& opportunity. In everything he buys he gives the home merchant the preference. He occasionally buys articles from abroad, but they are cases wherein he cannot find that which he seeks in his own com munity. He believes in his home town, and because lie does believe in it and intends to continue to live in it he grasps every possible means of advancing its interc&s by keeping his money in ctrcu lation at home. He^iaotir mind, is the ideal citizen Would that he were multiplied a thousand fold. For we need more of him. A Thought for the Week We must regard agriculture as an induslry, a business, and a life, into the induslry we rnufl introduce the teachings ot mod ern science; into the business must be introduced mo Jen; com mercial methods; and into the life muft be introduced those elements of modern civilisation which will enable agriculture to resist the lure-cf the modern city. TJie firiSt part of the pro gram ? the scientific improve ment of agriculture as an in duslry ? -is the duty of the public authorities. ? T1k> second part? the imjjrovement of life business ?is the province of voluntary effort, and the way of "making voluntary effort effe<5live is through the principal of 'cooper ation. When we come to the social life the duty is divided be tweea the Sate aad voluntary effort, but 95 per cent of the work belongs to the region of voluntary effort. The Irish formula is that the rural prob * lem mu& be solved by belter farming/ better business, and better living.? Sir Horace Pluu kett, in Progressive Farmer. Why can't some local genius _ achieve lasting fame by invent ing the autoplane? a car that will glide swiftly along .cmooth roads and rise gracefully in the air when approaching the bumps or taking a hill? Buck up, fel lows?it's your inning. An Au&rian princess is in this country painting portraits of di&ioguished people at $25,000.00 a paint. And ,if our delinquent subscribers, will juit loosen up and shell out the ducats we may be able to accept her invitation to "sit for ours." After a year's wandering a Chicago man returned to his home and didn't know his own family. Bat that isn't half as sad a fate as the local bald ; headed "old batch" who bos no family to know. j ? K; ? So many men have been killed Grand Duke Nicholas, of Rus sia, is six feet seven inches tall and commands an army of seven million men, the large# fighting force ever assembled under one flag. And we are five feet ten inches tall, and edit a country newspaper, and ^huve to satisfy an army of the mo# enlightened, mo# energetic and mo# critical people on earth. And we wouldn't swap jobs with G. D. Nick for a plugged nickel to boot. Schedule of Passenger Trains Through Farmvillc Norfolk Southern Ea# BounJ .We# Bound 12:39 a. til. .^35 a. m. 9:06 a. m.
