Money in Farming.

The Lynchburg Ne,cs says: 1t is
generally eontended by farmers that
they cannot make money at their oc-
cupation, and in fact many of them
complain that they are generally losing
money almost every year. There is,
perhaps, more imagination or fear in
this than reality, though we have no
doubt that many farmers toll all the
year round and do not make more than
close living. The most of such cases,
however. of failure, are no doubt to be
attributed more to imperfect farming
or bad management than to any real
deficiency or failure in the profession
itself. Where bad farmer fails a
good one most frequently succeeds on
the very same sort of land and with
the least fertilizers. At all events we
are pleased to see that the Warrenton
Record undertakes to controvent the
whole theory of farming being a failure,
and boldly asserts that "a man can
make more money on the capital in
vested in farming than in almost any
other legitimate business.''

Lent---Its Universal Application.

The observance of Lent should not
be limited to the Church and her men,
bers, for its requirements are as broad
as humanity and as worldwide as
truth Lent is not for Episcopalians
or Roman Catholics, or even for
Christians, but for every one in whose
heart burns the desire for true man
hood and womanhood. 1t is for every
one who admires Jesus Christ as the
grandest Man that ever lived, the
representative Of our race for every
one who is willing to follow His
example. We are all of us prone to
mistakes in life, to errors in thouget
that ought to be adjusted, to tempta-
/ tons yielded to that ought to be over
come, to bad habits that ought to be
corrected. How are these results to
be brought about? By going on in the
same old round of occupations, and by
continuing in the same paths Of
pleasure, thinking the same thoughts
and practicing the same habits :?
| Never. We must shake ourselves
loose from our surroundings, look
carefully about us, search deeply our
hearts. examine with scrutiny our
lives, and break each cursed habit that
brings regret and shame. Each one
must call halt for a season.
This is the true purpose of Lent, and
the occupation to which the Church
invites every noble soul. 1t is her
invitation to the whole world and to
all its people to consider their ways
and their doings. -Parish Record.

God Help the Poor.

The following beautiful and touching
lines were written by the late Capt. james
Barron Hope, the poet-editor of the Nor
folk Landmark several years ago:
God shield the poor tonight, who stay
In wretchei homes. Who if they pray
Ask thee, oh God. for bread and day.
Think, Think We men who daily wear
" Purple and linen"-ye whose fare
Is served with sauces rich and rare.
Think. Think. l say, We start and think
That many tremble on Deaths brink
Dying for want OF meat and drink
When tattered poor folk meet your eyes,
Think, friend, like Christian in this wise
Each one is Christ hid in disguise.
Then when you hear the tempest roar,
That thunders at your happy door,
Know that it knocketh for the poor.

Our tOWnsman Mr.. r.. r. Hight. the
jeweller, has been appointed local
watch inspector for the Seaboard Air
Line system at this place. Some days
ago he received a telegram from Mr. J.
w. Forringer, of Chicago, requesting
that he meet him at the train here at
which time the matter was laid before
Mr.. Hight, and as a result of this con-
ference he last week attended a meet
ing of watch inspectors held in the
Marlboro House at Raleigh. Mr.. For =
ringer, who is general inspector, was
present as were also a number Of Jew
elers and watchmakers from various
parts Of the State at which time Mr..
Hight was appointed local inspector Of
the Time Inspection Service. This is
quite compliment to him, when the
matter is fully understood, and reflects
the highest credit upon his skill and in
tegrity as only the best men who stand
we'll in their profession are chosen.
The aims and purposes Of this organi-
cation are such as to commend it to
railroad people aud the travelling pub
lie. The object is to secure accuracy
in time pieces and to guard against ac-
cidents liable to result from unreliable
watches. One Of the requirements of
the association is that the watches must
be equal to what is generally known as
the 8 Is jeweled, patent regulator, adj
justed,' and any watch falling below
the standard Of requirement will be
condemned by the inspector. En-
plOyes are to report each week for COM
parisOn Of their watches with standard
time of the road and the variation must
not exceed 80 seconds per week, or it
will be rejected. This will be a pro-
lection to both the employees engineers
and conductors chiefly and the public
and the service must commend itself
at once. Mr.. Nights duties will be of
very responsible nature but we are
sure he will perform them with credit
to himself and satisfaction to the rail
road people. When a watch is found
not to be in proper condition Gf of the
rsquired standard of make) he must so
inform the owner (who has the right to
take it to another jeweler for repair if
he so desi-es) and also report the fact
to the office Of the General Inspector
of Watches GILES Bros. & Co., Chi
cago y and the railroad authorities,
giving the number and desert ption OF
the watch. If the time piece falls be-
low the standard Of requirement and is
of an unreliable character the fact is so
reported and the person having it must
replace it with better one. The en-
ploye is at liberty to purchase of any
dealer he chooses, but Mr.. Hight will
at all times keep a stock Of watches on
hand, in both silver and gold, and can
sell at as low prices as any one. He
is superior workman and his skill and
ability are recognized at home and
abroad. He is man of high charac-
ter and unquestioned integrity, per-
fectly reliable and entirely satisfactory
in his dealings. While the position to
which Mr.. Hight has been chosen to
fill is not supposed to bring very great
remuneration to him it is one that car
ries the highest endorsement with it
and he has cause to felicitate himself
upon the appointment.
