A few experiences lately into which I have come in contact, has shown me how many blessings the people in Hyde county have, and yet how unaware of the fact they seem to be. I have heard a few wise people say, "None but the lazy need to starve in Hyde county,' and how true this is. In the large cities (where many people in Hyde wish they lived and envy those who do) men by the lit eral hundreds have been out of work; and out of work with these men mean nothing to feed' their wives and children, no wherewithal to clothe them or provide shelter, light and heat. They can't go into the scund and get fish, oysters, crabs or shrimps; such things are delicacies, high costing, and to be found mostly. in cans on the store shelves. They can't go into their gardens and with their spade and hoe raise the vegetables with which those in Hyde county raise their children on to be strong healthy men and wompn the joy of their eyes. Let the people of Hyde county look at their own strong children; healthy and clean, round of limb and tanned with the sun, and then let them glance just for a second to some of the poor children of the cities who have no garden of their own to play in, that are thin and hollow cheeked, and answer your inquiries with a hopeful smile as they answer that papa just got a job and that he says they will soon have lots to eat. . How good it is to know that goo J times are coming back and that al ready many mien fave Jjbeen sent back to work whereby they car. clothe these little bodies;but how thankful Hyde county should have been and still should be, for the na tural supplies which are furnished then and for their daily blessings.

Just after the famous August stormt of 1899, Stamford Jackson, planted a small cedar tree in his front yard on Oc racoke island. During the years the tree grew and reached maturity. Last September another hurricane swept the coast and the cedar that Stam ford had planted was uprooted by the terrific wind. A few months later when the wood in the trunk of the tree had dried out, Stamford hewed out sev eral pieces and used only a one blaied pocker knife for a tool, fash ioned a voilin. He glued the parts together equipped it with strings and now the instrument when played by Ocracoke fiddlers produce music of a splendid tone.
