The Charlotte Southern Home,
under the caption, ''What Energy will
Do" has the following which can be
read with profit by many Of the young
men of the present age:
cat the outbreak of the late war, 4
German who could hardly speak
English volunteered in a Southern
battery. He was as true as steel
throughout the desperate struggle.
At its close, without Il dollar in his
pocket, he married a real help-Tnate
and begun life on Il rented farm of
rather poor land. He made excellent
crops every year. and now has a
splendid farm of his own with every
comfort around it. He has more con-
venienccs and labor-saving appliances
than many wealthy farmers have, and
is ready to help with hand and purse,
in every good enterprise.
''This is go fancy picture, but the
sober truth, as the people of CASTOR,
who know Mr.. A. Farley, can testify
"What different country we would
have, if all our young men would show
the pluck and energy shown by this
man. How many idle away their time
about stores and crossroads complain
ing that the freedmen will not work,
instead of taking hold themselves
How many are running 10 town to get
into little piddling, humanity employ
ments, instead Of battling Elanfuiiy
on their farms. IL the Grange does
no other good than to make farmers
respect their calling, it will accom-
plish mighty work. The success of
4 man without means, on rented land,
shows what might he done by the
owners of the soil with the right pluck
and spirit.
