Mrs. Mason's Reception.

Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Grundy
said she was certain Mrs. Col. Mason
had made special arrangement with the
signal service department in order to
have such fine weather for her recep-
ton. She told Mr.. Grundy, when the
carriage came around, that she was
really sorry he was not going with her,
to enjoy the drive to Fort Smelling.
But Mr.. Grundy told her she needn't
give herself any uneaSineSS about his
enjoying himself when she was out of
town, so she went right on without
him. She found the Fort Smelling band
filling the air with music at Col.
Mason's, and she told Mrs. Mason she
never saw prettier decorations than the
autumn leaves made. She was de-
lighted to meet, among others, Mrs.
Gillillan, Mrs. HoxSie, Mrs. jaeger, Mrs.
John Adams, Mrs. Horn, Mrs. DIR.
Christie, the Misses Mason and pretty
Kittie Gilfillan assisting Mrs. Mason in
receiving, and in the throng of ladies
who were there from st. Paul and Min
neapOlis. she said next day it was not
strange that she remembered only Mrs.
Reynolds, Mrs. Eckles, Mrs. III. e..
Davis, Miss Chamberlin, Mrs. McAlanus,
Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Moss, Mrs. Palmes,
Mrs. Dr.. Davis, Miss De hague and

MRS. GRUNDY's RESUME.
One Weeks Dissipation and How
EVerYbOdY Took IL.

When Mrs. Grundyreturned from the
Home for the Friendless' annual recep-
ton yesterday afternoon she declared
that if the week was one day longer
she would be obliged to break her
record and miss some founder in the
swim. She wouldn't have gone to the
reception. she said, only it Is so emf
nently respectable to identify ones
self with charity on all public occa-
SiOns that she felt it would be a sin to
stay at home. Not that she would be
understood as inclining to PhariSeeiSm,
though she does believe that closet is
no place for acts of devotion, and that
the man who pr avs from the hOuSetop
is setting better example, for how in
the name Of all things reasonable can
one set good example IN the dark, and
hope to have others see and profit by it?
When it commenced to rain Mond Y,
Mrs. Grundy told Mr.. Grundy that it
made her feel just like crying to think
Of having such weather for loretta
GreVe'S wedding. Mr.. Grundy SAID it
made him feel like crying, too, to think
of such weather for his neuralgia,
whereupOn Mrs. Grundy told him he
was lacking the least YeStige of any
thing like sentiment and, putting on
her galoches and macintosh, went off
in fit of indignation to hear what Mrs.
Squires thought about the weather.
Mrs. SQuires said she really had not
made up her mind on the subject, and
asked Mrs Grundy if she had heard
that Mrs. Burbank's Art Class will be-
gin its third year the first Monday IN
November. mo circulars will be sent
out notifying previous members" she
said, land everybody interested is in
vited to join the class. The terms are
s. for each member"
Mrs. Grundy replied that she sup
posed they would send complimentary
tickets to teachers, and Mrs. SQuireS
said they would. For herself, Mrs.
Grundy pronounced it worth SO to come
In contact with Mrs. Burbank once a
week, and then she wanted to know
what the subject for this year is.
1.-THE History of Art Under the RO-
man Empire and Through the Dark
Ages" Mrs. Squares informed her, and
said further: Il hope there will be a
good attendance, and that everybody
will be Oh hand at the High school
promptly at half past two for the first
lesson"
Mrs. Grundy promised to be there
herself as heretofore, though she SAID
she never could be persuaded to recite,
and she had noticed that others of the
best students were just as timId. Mrs.
Squires made happy reference to the
mOdeSty of true genius and hers.
Grundy went away, comfortable in the
conviction that should she hide her light
under several bushels, it would never

ONE OF THE MEANS OF sue
CESS.

Among the many hinderences to
agricultural success, is the neglect of
farmers to keep posted on current
events. On several occasions we have
been told, by substantial farmers, q
like your paper, but [ hav'nt time to
read it," The sentiment expressed is
unjust to the farming interest of the
country.
Agriculture is the foundation of
u industrial system. Upon it rests
all other honorable vocations, and the
general good of community, no less
than the we'll being of individuals, re-
quires that it be of the highest excel
lence. 1t is not enough that the
farmer knows how to till the soil. He
must know how to improve the quality
of his lands. and how to adapt various
plants to different soils. He must see
what invention has done to tighten
labor, and learn what implements Of
h~usbandry are best suited to his own
agricultural operations. He cannot
acquire this knowledge from his i'm
mediate surroundings, he must enlarge
his environment, and go into current
literature, and learn the lessons taught
by current events. He must see what
the busy world is doing, and what re-
lation it sustains to his own affairs.
He must master the question of pro
duction and consumption-of demand
and supply-as it relates to his special
industry, and his Individual case. He
must solve the problem of manufac-
tured goods and raw material, as it
concerns him, and see whether it is
best for Aam to sell the raw product or
the manufactured article. He must
acquaint himself with commercial
highways and trade centers. He must
know the markets, so as to be able to
determine where to carry his produce
and when to ell Wadesboro Mes

HOURS OF FARM LABOR.

In our northern ATTITUDES the ten
hour or any other fixed limit of the
hours of labor cannot we'll be applied
to work On the farm. AS an employee
who had years of experience we'll re-
marked, of the l0hour rule be strictly
enforced it will be at the disadvantage
of the working man. That this is
strictly true is evident to anyone who,
in these short winter days, looks in
any country neighborhood to see how
long work lasts, how early it is begun
and how early it closes at night. In
this season it is doubtful whether
active o%ut-of-door work averages
much more than nine hours, and often
less. To do this the noon meal must
be hurriedly eaten and the breakfast
and supper be taken by lamplight.
Not long ago we heard of a farmer
who regularly, every year, when hiring
his help, gave them their choice to
work so long as possible in emergen-
cies during the busy season, or to take
the ten-hour plan and continue it
through the entire year, losing time
whenever they did not make the full
ten hours. Nearly all the men took
the employers advice to adopt the
flexible standard adapted to the farm.
Those who stuck for the ten-hour sys-
tenn soon repented of their bargain.
There is a comparatively short sea-
son when farm work is excessively
hurrying in seeding and harvesting.
While these jobs are suffering for at
tention men and teams may for a little
time work much more than ten hours
per day without any injury. But
eve then there are rainy days when
little work can be done excepting
chores, and these afford time for rest,
so that even in the summer the farm
laborer does not average much if any
more hours of work per day than does
the employee in the city workshop
And there is in farm labor a much
greater variety of occupation and O.
thought than is common where the
workman's duties are mainly in run
ming machinery. 1t is this variety
that makes farm life more attractive
Nature is never monotonous. Each
successive season brings new duties
and calls forth a different class OF
faculties in thought as we'll as muscle
Even the tension Of the busy season
Chas it's advantages. 1t is better thai
men occasionally test their powers o.
endurance for a short~timey~than te
plod on in a m%otionous round of labor
that only partially develops theil
ability.-Amerlcan C~ulavator.
