Serene Old Norti, State.

"Lcvic Pierce was born March

N. c. Good old North Carolina,
land of the pine and the persim-
mon, whose waters TEEN with
fishes Of the finest flavor, whose
red piedmont hills yield the
sweetest fruits, and whose
mountains kiss the skies. Dear
old North Carolina, within whose
borders no huge city, with its
CRIME and greed and rush and
roar, is to be found, and in whose
homes every virtue blooms.
True-hearted old NORTH Carroll
ma, where alien elements are
feWcst and old>time love OF lib
erty lives aid grows in quiet
from generation to generations.
Serene old Mother State, smiling
at many a joke or jibe as tue
best OF lands from which to en-
igrate, she follows all her wall
dering children with a maternal
interest that never dies, rejoicing
in their successes but leaving to
others the heritage Of their glory
and task Of its comne1noration.
Yes, dear, dear, old Mother State,
whose children wander away and
wed i'll the warmer South and
wider West, but carry love that
abides with them until they die
and go up to the land that is
fairest of all"

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR
1T CANNOT BRING PEACE TO THE
MIND, AND A SOLACE TO THE
BOSOM

What a despot, what tyrant
what an idol. People are sway
ed by it, ruined by it, and are
made to bow down to it in fond
est and most willing worship.
And, as the Orange Observer
says, it makes people mean and
corrupt and dishonest. 1t makes
them cheat and lie and swindle
and steal and rob and murder. It
destroys the noblest impulses of
the human heart, and plants in
their place the noxious weeds Of
that deadly avarice that en-
dangers the soul and threatens it
with everlasting ruin and de-
struction.
1t turns sister against brother,
father against son, wife against
husband. 1t sows weeds of dis
cord and briers OF arrangement
where flowers of concord and
kindest feelings once bloomed in
richest luxuriance and sweetest
beauty. And yet with all its
power and with all its influence
it cannot bring peace to the
mind, and a solace to the bosom;
and neither can it purchase the
blessed hope of blissful immor-
tality.
When death comes and the
grave opens it sodded arms to re-
ceive into its pulselcss embrace
the lifeless form, then its power
is all gone, and its memory be>
comes a curse to those who once
had been its worshippers 1t will
be curse, for its false glitter
and useless value have SO ruined
the heart, that it will shut out
those richer and grander and
sublimer scenes which will burst
upon the enraptured vision of
those who have purchased by
faith and obedience birth right
to the fadeless crown of eternal
glory SO gloriousiy and SO "a
diently studded with jewels of
everlasting peace and rest.

To the Business Men.

The effort of any newspaper
to build up town is practically
nullihed unless it is backed up
by the business men. Realizing
this, the FISHERMAN & FARMER
desires to make their acquaint-
ance and receive their support.
A stranger turns from the news
columns to the advertising pages,
and if he fails to find there the
business cards of the merchants
and professional firms, he comes
to the conclusion that the p:5b
Usher is not appreciated and
that the town is just as large as
the people want it to be, in which
case it IS a good place for him to
steer clear of. No town ever
grew without the active assist
ance of its newspaper. Nor can
papers grow and build up their
localities without the assistance
of the town. Business nen should
realize this and remember III
giving support to the newspapers
they are not only building up
their own business, but helping
to support that which is steadily
working for the growth of tic
whole town. This is the pur
pose OF the FISHERMAN & FAR
IER. Our Office is at the corner
of Water and Mathew streets.
Call and see us.
