AJJ EXPLANATION. For. the ben.
efit of the column, there is the ne.
■ cessity of explaining the heai
which adorns or disfigures the' col
umn. this week. The drawing is
highly symbolical and allegorical.
The upright figure in the left fore
ground represents the pine tree, the
old, and the“ dwarf vegetation below,
still farther to the left represents
the new. The vague pen wanderings
atop each are symbolical of the^ foL
' iage. Running from left to right
a:e pine branches cut with much
labor and infinite care to represent
the ;itle of the column. There is a
need for much sympathy in the in
terpretation of the picture. With
proper understanding many details
cm 'oe added as in'the interprets.
■ ticn of a Chautauqua piano solo. With
'a litile imagination you can almost
hec-r the halting tapping of the type,
writer, the cold sneering laughter
of the. rillain and the buzz of the saw
as the train bear's down on the hero
tied to the pasture fence. The clat
ter of hoof beats on the old plank
road are there too, although a little
indistinct Explanations of the pic-,
fare will be furnished ^in writing
to all who will repeat their question
and enclose a self.addressed stamp,
ed envelope.
the University library at Chapel Hill
has devised a plan whereby the cit
izens of North Carolina may have
the use of the magnificent new li
brary at Chapel Hill, as surely and
almost as conveniently as the stu.
dents themselves. ,For the very
nominal fee of 25 cents plus postage
the extension librarian will send to
you fotfr books of a section of sev.
eral thousand volumes • containing
the masterpieces of ancient and mod.
ern times. The boo'ks may be kept
for a month and the only expense is
a stamp, a quarter, and a few cents
postage. Hoke county people who
are interested in' reading and fee;
that they cannot afford to buy books,
in these ^times,,should write to the
Extension Librarian, Chapei Hill, N.
C., and. secure details of/this wide
and economical reading service. The
University is rendering a wonderful
service in putting a wide field of
hooks at the disposal of citizens of
the state living where there are np
libraries.
HIGH NOON HARMONY. One_ of
the quaintest features of Raeford
life is the canine choral club which
holds it’s practices immediately after
the noontime outburst of the formid
able siren atop the fire house. On
any day of the week, following thd
noontime shriek of the siren there
may be heard the most amazing chor
us of howls, a'rising from the throats
of the dogs that invariably gather in
that vicinity. At one time last week
•we counted at ten minutes to twelve,
fourteen dogs within a hundred yards
of the siren, tower, dogs of every
description., race, predilection and
ambition. They seem to be gathering
that they may be tortured by the
piercing tones that in a few min-
^ ntes will shatter the air. Their mo.
tlves are ^beyond inquiry but it may
bethat a curious demand, not known
to humans, to suffer in public, n^y
" guide them to the s^pot. And then
comes the whistle and they writhe,
stand, sit, rotate, emitting the most
heart rending howls. A minute later
it is over and they are cheerfully
off for the next daily dog duty
.Their efir.mechanism, being capable
of receiving sounds of much fewer
vibf^ions than man's, suffers actual
physical pain from a sound contain.
■ ing,' as does a fire siren, twenty or
.thirty thousand per second, hut why
they persist in getting near it re-
■ mains the mystery.'
