Hatch Chickens by Steam.

This is the advice given in the adver-
tisement of the we'll known Excelsior In
cubator, manufactured by Geo. H. Stahl,
Quincy, Illinois. And it is worthy OF ac-
ceptation by persons engaged in the
poultry business on anything like an ex-
tensive scale, or those who are about to
embark in the industry. Too much has
been said and written on the subject of
artificial incubation-its absolute GER
tainty and successful results and the
great advantage of raising chickens by
this method to require anything further
than to call attention to the merits Of
this particular hatcher. The Excelsior
Incubator possesses superior points OF
excellence which need only to be under
stood to be acknowledged and appre-
ciated. 1t is perfect machine of its
kind, simple in construction, certain in
operation, and being self-regulating re-
quires but little attention. Mr.. ID. T..
Loughlin has one of these hatchers and
has successfully operated it in Hender
son. Ask him what he thinks OF the En-
celsior, or call and see the machine. 1t
speaks for itself. In addition to manu-
featuring incubators, the advertiser
makes brooders, or artificial mothers,
also, which stand no less high among
poultrymen all over the country. Per-
sons interested should not fail to send
for illustrated catalogue and prices. See
advertisement in this paper.

Signs Of Better Times.

1t is an encouraging sign to see our
farmers giving more attention to the
cultivation Of fruits as we'll as improv-
ing the breeds of their cattle, hogs,
sheep, horses, poultry, etc. Every
person who owns land ought to have a
good orchard of small fruits. It re-
quires only a few years for the trees to
come into bearing, and the product is
a profitable one-for home use, for
market and for hogs. Yet some men
spend life time on place and never
set out an orchard. Such persons can
not realize how much of the good things
Of life they miss in not having an
abundance of choice fruit in season.
But there is an improvement along
this line we are glad to see. From
one Of our exchanges we take the fol-
lowing as bearing us out in this asser-
ton. 1t says:
An energetic fruit tree agent at Raj
eigh, who has recently visited all sections
of North Carolina, says he has never be-
fore seen the farmers take such an in
terest in farming, and more especially in
the planting of trees. Heretofore trees
have been bought, carelessly handled
and badly planted, and then the COWS
turned in to destroy them. Now, he
says, things have changed. Every one
wants the best, and no one is planting
in siipshod manner. North Carolina
possesses great possibilities as u fruit
producing State.

Advertising PAYS.

Says an exchange: Those firms,
whose names you see constantly before
the public, know that advertising pays.
They have tested it thoroughly. The
reader may not read every time the
advertisement, but he sees it and he's
impressed with the fact that that firm
wants to secure trade and is willing to
bid for tan impression is made and
when he wants to purchase goods he
just follows that impression.
Occasionally a firm succeeds very
we'll without advertising but the pro-
prietor has to split his throat and Of
tentimes shortens his days working for
what advertising would bring him.
Don't you know that those who adj
vertise extensively, would quit if they
didn't know that it pays handsomely ?
~Now is your time to write and

How to Attract Strangers.

The Marion Free Lance throws out
some valuable suggestions about the
best way to impress strangers with q
place and people and how they may be
attracted and induced to become citizens
1t says:
One of the surest and most effective
ways to get strangers to lOcatr 1T any
place is for the people to extend to them
a hearty welcome. Make them feel thor
oughly at home. Never make them feel
that it is an objectionable sin and crime
not to have been born in your town or
county. If it be a crime not to have
been born in the county, remember that
the individual himself had nothing to do
with when or where or how he was born.
He was not even consulted on the sub
| iect. Extend to all strangers an open
hearted welcome and make them feel that
if they were not born i'll your county
that they would like to spend the re-
mainder of their lives in it. Be SO kind
and generous to them that they will re-
greet that they were so unfortunate as to
| have been born anywhere else than
among such open hearted, generous peO-
pie. Above all things, never make man
| feel that he is an interloper and med
/ der simply because he wants to help the
town. and was so unfortunate as to be
born in another part of the State or in
some other State.
This is the season Of the
year when you want carpets.
We have them-the prettiest
and cheapest line of all
Wool Carpets ever brought

Help the Orphans.

The collection to be taken up at the
Thanksgiving service at the Baptist
church this morning will be divided
among the orphans at Oxford, Thorn
asville and Barium Springs. The editor
alone is responsible for the statement
made last week that the contribution
would 60 to the Baptist Orphanage at
Thomasville. The gentleman who re-
quested us to make mention Of the
service, added that the collection to be
taken would be for the benefit of the
''orphans, and understanding him to
say "Orphanage," (he being a promi-
nent Baptist brother), we naturally
fell into the error and made it little
more explicit, as we thought, without
rejecting for a moment that our good
friends of that congregation would not
appropriate to their own use the entire
donation of a joint service of the sew
eral religious denominations of the
town. So, attend the Thanksgiving
service to-day and make your contribu-
ton to the orphan fund, feeling assured
that your donation will be applied as
you direct-the Methodists at Oxford.

Presbyterians at Barium Springs. if
