We ask the attention of our Lenoir readers to a clipping in this issue, showing bow a real estate man has made sand clay streets in Spartanburg, S. C. If this one man can afford to make Sand clay streets, to develop a piece of property, Lenoir can not longer postpone this im portant work, when the mater ials are right at hand. We do not mean that the work should be undertaken just at this time, while the roads are bad, but the work should be commenced as soon as settled summer weather will iKTmit. A tmvu nuvting held nearly a year ago was unanimous in favor of improving some of the streets by the sand clay method, yet a year has passed and not a load of sand has been hauled for the purpose. All that is needed is a Board of Commissioners who will take enough interest in the matter to goat it. There are several ways it can be none; one is to do it and pay for it out of the regu lar town funds, another way is for the town to pay half and the other half be secured by pnblic subscriptions. This was com menced by some public spirited citizens at one time and several uunuieu uoiuirs raiseu, uui me town did nothing and the sub scriptions, of course, were not paid. However, probably the bust way to do the workiwould be for the property abutting on the streets to be taxed one third each side and the town pay the other third. This is the rule for paving streets in many towns and cities and it is considered fair and just. At least one of the plans should be adopted and the work begun as soon as the roads are good and before another winter, . many of the streets of the town cm be much improved. It is just a bit embarrasing and hu miliating to talk to a man from the country about improving the public roads and have him say, "you fellows should fix, your streets before talking about im proving the roads." One enterprising poultry man of Hamblen County, Tennessee, has a flock of 1,200 single-comb White Leghorns. He sells an "all-white, sterile, sanitary egg,'1 that brought the last week in " November, 1912, 44 cents a doz 1 1 3 11 : J 1 i. . 1 en. These eggs sell for from 23 td 55 cents a dozen, averaging four months in the year 45 cents aud three months 25 cents. The average expense of his farm , i' placed at ?75 a month and his , B verage' profit in 1912, after de ducting the expense of installing . equipment, is given at $125 a month " Enough ' cockerels, breeding utock and eggs for hatching were sold in 1912 to . pay for" the plant "including houses, incubators' and brooders. 11 you can finr) a place in your where - the .

"I belierp," said" J. Edar Bloom quist of Falconer to a Yonirrs (X. Y.)" acquaintance, "that I am the only taaa ia the world Who erer built a stained-glass beocrp for hit hens. Yes, ITe got one, and it ia not by any meant a small affair, being commodious enough ttJ' at coninuxUte ity tggmakers and a dozon roosters." "What gare too the idea for building a glass coop' inquired the Yonkersite, ho also has a flock of poultry. "The First Methodist church in our Tillage. The trustees decided to replace its stained-glass vindoa with some of plain glass. I mad a bid for the discarded material. My offer was accepted. So I took the stained sections home and set them up on the farm. The result it i handsome coop, well rentilated and well lighted on the darkest day. The whole thing U merely cemented to gether on a light framework. The effect of variegated light on the hent it pleasing. I won't say that it hat improved the production of eggs, al though the coop is equipped with nests, water and food troughs, but if the hens should take a notion to lay eggs with colored shells along about Faster there would be no com plaint from me." HIS CHANCE Mr. Henpeck (reading paper) I've just read about a girl in the fai west who had a bad man arrested and then decided to marry him. What do you think of that?" Mrs. HcnjH'ck It looks like go ing from bad to worse! ASSIMILATING NEW MEMBERS. After the examination is over and the right hand of fellowship has been extended, the new recruit is not yet a member of the church. He is not a full member until he has been assimilated by the congregation, and has found hi place in the active lif of the institution. The reason why so many rew members are lost to the church is because they never become real members. They were as much outsiders inside as outside the church. A weak sjot in the church today is the way new members are re ceived.. Too much is taken for granted when nothing should be taken for granted. New members thould be followed up closclv for some months after they have been received or until such time as they have become a part of the life of the institution. Just use a little more common sense and the church will be blessed with a larger numler of active workers. Exchange. GEE8E WORTH HAVING. Ed Lnramie has a goose and gan der on his farm which have been do ing some very unusual things this season. Along early in the spring the goose laid eleven eggs and brought out eleven goslings. In two weeks she turned the brood over to the gander and commenced laying again. When she had laid nine eggs she legan sitting once more, and brought out seven goslings. The gander looked after the first family, taking just as good car of them as had the mother. The first and see ond families are now one. Kings ville (Ont.) Reporter.

Some of the fans who paid theil good money to see the Blues go down to a humiliating defeat might have felt that they had received very little for their money, had it nof been for a gallant youth who was making a heroic effort to teach" his lady friend the nice points of the' game. . He had endured the ill-corioeBled merriment of his neighbors just about as long as it is possible for hu man nature to stand for it, when on of the Blues made a perfectly unei cusable error.

TREE8 PLANTED BY 8TARLING& Starlings were first noticed flock ing to Cramond island, a short dis tance from Edinburgh, in unusual numbers in the autumn of 1899, and they continued to frequent the place for some years, until as ia their hab it, fhey deserted it for a fresher and cleaner spot. A recent Visit to the island showed a remarkable after re sult of the starlings' visit. In the small plantation, which consisted of Scotch fir trees of grunted growth, there ia now a trong showing of bourtree bushes. The starlings feed greedily on the berriea of the bour tree and from the seeds there is now grown up a crop of treet intro dined by the agency of the starlings, liondon Globe. IN CONGRESS.

The barn yard fowls have beeu iness methods on the farm but at last they have to get in their place (in the poultry yard) and stay there. The farmer who reads the magazines knows that today many a chicken farm of a few acres pays did a few years ago. Lvery farmer keeps chickens because it pays and it will pay lots better and the farm will look better it they are kept in the poultry yard. They are about the mast profitable animals on the farm and it takes less space and less expense to keep them. Enough of our poultry fencing to keep your fowls properly will cost very little and will be the best in vestment you ever made oh the farm. Bernhardt-Seagle Go.
