The Country Paper.

1t has long been our opinion that
the local or county newspaper is not
properly appreciated. 1t is the cham
pion of every local interest, and its
aid is always eagerly sought in behalf
of every local enterprise. 1t furnishes
needed information to its readers about
matters which intimately concern them
and which are overlooked by the more
pre,entious city dailies. 1t affords the
best medium for the interchange of
views on questions which touch the
people of the county. The subscrip-
ton price is a mere trifle, yet many
citizens refuse to subscribe and sneer-
ingly compare the county paper with
the widely circulating and we'll sus-
tanned city daily. This is all wrong.
They might as we'll compare the
country store with great wholesale
house in New York. Yet they would
get on badly without the country store
and would get on badly without the
country paper. You need the city
daily for general news, and you must
have it but in supporting your home
paper you are directly promoting you'
own interest.-Lynchburg Advanee

oung men who belonged to the church

young men who belonged to the church
in which he was feeling fresh interest.
He smiled and spoke. They smiled at
each other and silently got up and left
the Office. He saw it all and felt a per-
ceptible chill on his new enthusiasm that
very moment. Many OF these people
strolled past the pastors residence that
night and looked at the light in his study
window, little Suspecting that he was
inside vexing himself with the same
thoughts which had been in their minds.
He thought OF all these new converts one
by one. They were but children in this
new household. Would they have the
reception a new child ought to have?
Would these older saints be nursing
fathers and nursing mothers to them? ?
Would they receive them as a family
rejoices and cherishes the infant which
God has sent into their homes? Then he
went down on his knees and prayed. so
thou great Head OF the Church, look
thou in mercy upon this flock of thine.
Put thou wisdom and affection in the
heart OF all these thy people that they
may care for those whom thou hast sent
to be trained for holiness and Heaven.
Grant that all thy saints may walk
before these so as to set them an example
of how a saint ought to walk. May they
be filled with Christian kindness and
courtesy so that they may be able to
help them in a time Of perplexity. If any
of these young converts become weak
and faint may those who are older
strengthen them and bring them again
into the right way. May this church
welcome them to church of warm piety
and helpfulness. And thus may We guard
against all the wiles of the devil SO that
none of these who have put their hand to
the plow shall look back. We know now
strong the attractions Of the world will
be to them. We pray that the fidelity
of thy people may cOunteract all those
attractions" But the converts were
disappointed in the reception which they
had hoped to meet. They did not con-
slider themselves very welcome. If they
went wrong they found Christians
intolerant of them and uncharitable.
After long time many OF them had gone
back again into the world. The people
said:
II told you So" And some of them
said: at is the preachers fault, he had
no business taking some of those people
into the church, doubt not that when
the final estimate is given the sentence
will read: "They were driven out of the
church by the Indifference and unchar-
itableness of its members" And how
many q revival has had it's results
marred in precisely the same way.

THE DAY OF BIRDS.
A Proposed Holiday and the Objects
Thereof.
baltimore SUM-

The establishment of holiday to
be known as ss bird day" is favored by
Mr.. Morton, Secretary of Agriculture,
whose name is associated with the OBJ
servance of Arbor Day. In reply to
letter on the subject from the
superintendent of schools at Oil City,
Pa, the Secretary says: "It is a
melancholy fact that among the
enemies of our birds two of the most
destructive and relentless are our
women and our boys. The love of the
feather ornamentation so ,houghtlessly
persisted in by thousands of women,
and the mania for collecting eggs and
killing birds, SO deeply rooted in our
boys, are legacies of barbarism inher-
tied from our savage ancestry. | be-
leve that public sentiment can be
developed so strong and SO universal,
that a respectable woman will be
ashamed to be seen with the wing of a
bird on her bonnet, and an honest
boy will be ashamed to own that he
ever robbed nest or wantonly took
the life of a bird" The establish
ment Of " bird day." he thinks, would
have a wholesome moral effect and
tend to fireplace that barbaric i'm
pulse inherant in human nature by
the nobler impulses and aspirations
that should characterize advanced civ.
ilization." Apart from sentimental
| considerations, the indiscriminate
slaughter of birds should be stopped
because of the injurious results te
agriculture. Many species of birds
perhaps most, are invaluable te
farmers as destroyers of insects anc
worms that prey upon the crops
They do far more good than harm
and the cruel and foolish warfare tina
has been waged against them probabl.
accounts for the increase in insec
pests in many sections. The establish
ment of bird day and the study Of tn
habits and character of the variou
bird families would produce an intel
ligent appreciation of this fact ant
would enable farmers to distinguish
between their feathered friends ant
foes. "Bird day" is a good idea
and it is to be hoped that it may b
added to the list of our useful holiday:

MAY DAYS.
BY AMY SEVILLE WOLFF.

There's a sweet surprise
In the blue of the skies,
And the fresh young green DER the earth
that lies;
There are wh'rring wings.
And the brOOklet sings
Of a marvellous host Of happenings.
The winds warm kiss on days like this
Hints of mystery merged into subtle bliss;
And the shy young leaves
On the sap-laden trees
Are tripping in time with the blithe winged
breeze.
With the suns first ray,
Care is charmed away.
And the heart goes dancing, glancing gay,
Through the sunshine bland,
Led by fancy's command,
TO her airy, fairy castled land.
In the zephyrs meet
Subtle perfumes sweet,
From the violet blooms that the meadows
sheet
Down the sloping hills,
All the lOOsened rills,
Are tinkling their matusinal trillS.
Now the warbled word
OF each early bird
In the glad, green aisles of the wood is
heard.
With fluttering wing,
Every joyous thing
Is prOclaiming prophecy OF spring.

THE HARD TIMES.
A Farmer Who Makes Money and
Does Not Complain.
[SaliSbury Herald.l

SallSDufy Hefalu.l
- do not find the times so hard,
after all, for while produce is very low
what we have to buy is correspondingly
low, and think if the time spent in
complaining of the times had been
spent at work on the farm the times
would have been much better.''
The above sentence is copied from
for publication. The Herald uses it
because it believes truer words were
never spoken. The writer is is a prac-
tical farmer, has spent his whole life
on his farm and has always lived at
home. From small beginning as a
young man he has gone on year by
year, working intelligently and syste-
matically, and now owns large body
of land, considerable quantity of
which is in high state of cultivation.
Farming has been profitable to him be-
cause he made it his life business, and
was not satisfied to own the land but
titled it and made it productive. AS a
result of this he has accumulated a
comfortable fortune, besides which he
has raised eight children and given all
| of them who are grown much better
education than is given the average
famer's child.
The Herald knows this farmer we'll,
and it knows that he has made more
than nine-tenths Of his money from
the legitimate proceeds of his own
work On the farm. He is not what is
termed large farmer, his operations,
we believe, not being greater at any
time than four-horse crop. For
several years past he has been
incapacitated from active work by
severe sickness and is now confined to
his house good deal of the time. But
he has kept an eye to his farm all the
time and has made money every year
AS going to show why this farmer has
been successful one further fact will
be given in addition to what is stated
above. Not long since the writer spen
a short while at his house and in tht
; course of a conversation at the dinner
table was told by a member of hi:
family that he then had in his smoke
house enough homemade bacon tt
supply his family for two years. HI
diSO IudnCo tuC SlCdtCoG piCuIy W WV.
r thing else that is needed for the table
The Herald has written at thi:
length because it believes that the ex
example of this farmer can be profit
ably followed by every farmer in th
State. And others will meet with tn
, same success if they pursue the sam
$ intelligence and business methods il
, their farming. No name is called be
cause we are not authorized to do S

t produce sells for a low price. Their

the farmer is the most independeI
man in the world, and where you fin

THE HAMBURG BREED.
Small Fowls That Have Quite Record
as Egg irrouiIeesSsr

This breed was originally Spanish
one, but was introduced into England
in the fourteenth century by way of
Hamburg; hence the name. A variety
of this breed, known as the Campine,
is highly esteemed in Belgium. The
general characteristics of these fowls
are rather small size-the cock aver
aging from four and half to five aud
half pounds and the hen pound less
blush legs, white ear-lobes, brilliant
double-rose combs ending in an upward
curve, and ample tall. The plumage
is exquisitely marked, glossy and very
beautiful the carriage of the cock is
majestic, and his shape symmetrical.
The breed is too small to be profit
able as a table fowl, though consider
able meat is furnished in proportion to
the size of the bird. Hamburgs belong
to the family of non-setters, and possess
great merit as egg producers, laying
most of the year except when moulting.
They are considered particularly good
as winter layers.
There are six principal varieties of
this breed, viz, black, golden penciled,
silver penciled, golden spangled, silver
spangled and white. The black spe-
cies is believed to be the result of a
cross with the black Spanish. They
are slightly larger than the other varie-
ties and breed true to color, which is
rich glossy black throughout. They
are also said to produce larger eggs
and more abundantly, and to be more
hardy than the other Hamburgs.
In the golden penciled variety the
ground color Of the plumage is golden
bay in the hen and much darker
shade in the cock. The hens should
have the body penciled across with
several bars of black, and the hackle
in both sexes should be free from dark
marks. English Red Caps are said to
have originated from this variety. The
silver penciled species are little larger
than the gold, the only other difference
being that the ground color of the
plumage is silver white. In the
former the black penciling is the same.
Golden and silver spangled Ham,
burgs differ from the penciled in the
markings, the parallel bars across the
feathers being replaced by one mark
at the end of each feather which forms
the spangle. With the golden spangled
the cocks are little smaller in proper
ton to the hens than with the other
varieties. The white Hamburgs is but
little known.
AS egg produces the Hamburgs rank
with the Leghorns. Being small, the
expense of keeping them is less than
with the larger breeds. The penciled
varieties are somewhat delicate, but
the others are rather hardy. They
mature early and can bear confinement.
1t is, however, essential that they be
kept clean, as they suffer more than
any other breed from dirt and over
crowding. The chief objection to them
is their tendency to Fly and wander
away. The eggs are white and of a
fair size.

DISTINCTLY A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Senator Vance was the most re-
markable man that this State has ever
produced. He was familiarly known
in every nook and corner of this COM
monwealth, and his constituents of
every grade and class were warmly
attached to him. He was distinctly
a man of the people, mingled and
mixed with them, studied their various
characters, and the secret springs and
motives that moved them to action
and thus obtained their confidence,
and was thereby enabled to hold their
esteem and this characterized his long
stewardship as Governor and Senator,
and as a brave, fearless, conscientious
and devoted patriot.
He loved the whole country, but his
native State more, and North Carolina
loved him.-Durham Sun.

WHAT is A MODEL WIFE2

A model wife is the woman in whom
the heart of her husband doth safely
trust.
She is the woman who looks after
his household, and makes her hospi-
tality a delight to him, and not a
burden.
Who has learned that a soft answer
will turn away wrath.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles and
most loving words for her husband.
Who is his confdant in sorrow or
in joy, and who does not feel the
necessity Of explaining her private
affairs 10 the neighborhood.
Who respects the rights of husband
and children and in return has due
regard paid TO her.
Who knows that the strongest argu-
ment is her womanllness, and so she
cultivates it.
Who is sympathetic in Joy, or in
grief, and who finds work for her hands

Who makes friends and keep:
them.
Who is not made bitter by trouble.
but who strengthens and sweeten:

Who tries to conceal the faults o
her husband rather than blazon then
forth to an uninterested public.
The woman whose life-book ha
love written on every page.
Who makes a home for a man;
home in house and in heart. 4
home that he is sure of, home that
full of love presided over by one who's

LELAND CIGAR
SCARED BY TILLMAN
SENATOR BUTLER WILL NOT ABIDE,
BY RESULTS OF PRIMARIES.
He Thinks His Rival Has All the
"Rings" on His side-SensatiOn in
south Carolina Politics.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 27.-A sensation
was created in the State to-day by the an
nounceTeut that Senator Butler would not
abide ~ the result of the primary cleo
tions which take place tomorrow. At the
elections members of the Legislature Will
be nominated. when they will elect sue
cessor to Senator Butler. In Withdrawing
from the primary Senator Butler leaves
himself and friends free TO make a con-
test in the general election, which takes
place in November. 1t is a rule in the
Democratic party in South Carolina that
each candidate must pledge himself to sup
port the nominees of the party; otherwise
he cannot be voted for. General Butler
made such a pledge, but withdrew 1t to-day
in a letter to the secretary of the Demo-
cratic executive committee. He gave no
reason for Withdrawing the pledge. 1t is
understood tnat legislative candidates will
be nominated in November who will sup
port Butler. 1t is further said that Gen
Butler. if defeated by Governor Tillman,
will make contest before the United
States Senate, contending that the regis
tration laws of the State are illegal, and
that If a full vote could have been pOlled
Buffers legislators would have been elected
Senator Butler. in a telegram to the Co
lumba Register, says: II beg to say, in
withdrawing the paper filed by me with
Mr.. ThOmpkins, secretary of the Demo-
cratic executive committee, announcing my
steps of distinguished reformers who are
unwilling to submit their claims to a prl-
mary where everything, from coroner up.
has been cut. dried, packed and salted
down by the ring, when the result Is slated
and known by the ring before a vote has
been put in the ballot box
There Is likely to be a bitter political
fight in consequence of Senator Buffers
