V «r r ■> r 'F }hi^ M' FLORIDA .\SSHEIS vy- (From Pubiie Service.) .‘‘Florida is the chin whiskers ?of the United States. “It is six hundred miles lon^i two hundred miles wide and three feet high '? “It is bounded on the north by ^the Eighteenth Amendmedr. and on the other side by the three- mile limit. S'' ; . ' ^/*Plorida is inhabited by the ^'%ibdian8, Americans. White Men and Feedbug Tourists, sometimes caBed Tincanoers—all of whom are real estate agentH. . “The Reds live on the Ever- ■ glades, THE BLACKS LIVE ON THE WHITES, and the Tourists and Tincanners live on 'the Municipal Gamp Qrounds. ' “Florida’s principal sources of income are hotels, fruits, alliga tojt skins, tourists, and the best pveM.agents east of California. *‘But the one outstanding fea ture of Flbrida is its fruit, orange raising coming first, of course. . ’'^‘I^ising oranges in Florida is 1^'^a dnch. All ^hat is required is aridagh money to live on while rinsing oranges. “The next Florida fruit in im portance is the grapefruit. A grapefruit is a cross between lemon, a dose of iodine and pumpkin. It has the color and disposition of a blonde ticket seller at a moving picture thea tre,. They are usually. eaten at breakfast thus giving the double advantage of a meal and the - morning shower bath at the same time. _ “Tbsjfcangerine__i8 a_ distant cousin of the orange.

HAXIMILUN DAVID BETHUNE. The news of the tragib death of little Max, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Bethune, was published in' The Journal last week The funeral was conduct ed by the pastor., of the family, Bev. W. M. Fairley, D. D., ^s slated by Rev. R. G. Matheson of Jackson Springs, in the pres ence of a large concourse of sor rowing relatives and friends on Wednesday afternoon at 6. We lave never seen at sadder occa sion. The interment was made iin Raeford cemetery, a^d the iJoral tribute was the largest and most beautiful we have ever seen. The stores and other busi. uesses closed during the funeral. At this time we have a knowl edge of the people of Raeford we never had before, and perhaps never would have had but for the fact that the occasion gave them opportunity to demonstrate their true characters They could not have done more They were kindness personified and in action. Travel the wide to^ of'the'i / Fiddlers’ ConventioD. There will be an old Fiddlers Convention at Rockfish on next Friday night. There never cornea a year that there is not a larger number of people who buy all they get on credit. And credit is costly. world over, and their genuine Christ like sympathy and spirit of helpfulness will never be ex celled. Words cannot express what we feel in our hearts today. On this occasion language in deed limps. It fails us. Max and I were chums in tlie truest sense of that word. Were we to meet every hour, the greet ing was equally cordial as if we had been apart for a longer pe riod of time. No matter about the time the cordiality of the greeting was the same. The strongest and most tender of iartb;ties hiavof^n Y-iven' jac: jny declining yew^’ We^a planned by the hour what we would do when he became “a drate big man.’’ Our plans are thwarted. That little life which gave most hope and comfort was snapped out. He took yekrs off my head He brought me bacjk ;o the prime of life. I was liv ing my life over again with him. There is no spirit of rebellion in my heart against this sad dis pensation of Providence. Some time I will understand why Max lad to leave me and go on ahead a little wav There was some thing that be had to do, per laps, to make ready for my com ing. And when I come, I know now the welcome that awaits me Max will not forget. And all who knew him loved him, for he loved everybody, and often so stated, and he meant ft Nothing but the sweetest of dis position was his always. He busily spread sunshine during his whole little life, so all who knew him loved him. They could not help it. I have written' as though the loss is peculiarly my own, while 1 realize that the stroke has fall en with equal severity upon each member of the family, and the more poignant grief is that of the child’s parents, our readers wil understand, but 1 am the voice giving expression to a great grie that oppresses us. it’s a sore tri al' we are passing through. This is the first break in the editor’s own family circle. The hearts of bis parents, his grand parents, his aunts and uncles anc perhaps more than all his two devoted little sisters, especially the older, who realiaesdier loss crushed and bleeding, for to us all he was exceedingly precious and while we are suffering un told heart anguish, we mourn not as those who have po hope. We cannot bring him back, but through God’s grace we will go to him, and we trust the circle will be reunited. Loyalty Week, Fayetteville “ Pre»* bytery February 8*14. ., • ' ( The aim fpr this week and those following to April is to raise the full budget for ch urch causes. If we are loyal to the Kin^om we can and will v 4^^? Note Needs and Conditions Wpndaf- Foreign Missions with iSver 300 workers in the field, needs over $1,500,000 to conduct the work:' We have failed them by failhg to give but one third—leaving about $1,000,000 behind. Tbi$ is not loyalty to the Kingdom.^^f Home Missions Causes are suf fering in about the same propor tion. Assembly’s cause expect- ing'^from the people over $700,000 has collected less than $250,OW- This is not loyalty to the King dom. Synodical Home Missions needs $30,000 more than collected to come out even in this great work in our own State which boasts so much^qf its prosperity. Other causes like Christian Education, Bible cause and our Orphan Home are in distress be cause the Church bus failed to do what was reasonably ex pected. Our own Presbyterial Home Mission cause of Fayetteville Presbytery, suffers, too. Last year the churches were appoitioned $12,000 and we need edit. We were working'ten mission groups and appropriated about $10,000 for this work with some work done by young candi dates for ministry during sum mer. We collected about $8vOO0.* This year we called for tjae same amount as last, ^d up fept,, Jap. April 1 and have a smAlI ballance :'or summer months when moniy cjmes slowly. We are trying to plan wisely for work most n-^edy. Next year we will have twelve groups in our Home Mission field and are still calling for little more than $10,000. but we are nob in this reaching all work needed to be done. From all the members of Christ's Kingdom we need help Loyal to Him who gave His life for you will stir you up to a senoe of your re sDonsibility to His church, and to His command, ' Go preach ray Gospel to every creature.” Presbyteries Committee. nogf the ^w' Baker dr week’s- i Mr. the firafei to his :Cql/fl' weathqr^ came liql centlv;^ - Carsr' centiy be. so qt roads tl: It has is in dehai at alrat makes ■ MT.;e was in! learnMB^ 15, wai with ai[ The of the Aman( late Shji her h( ship.
