FROM one of our State exchanges it
is learned that there are now 3OI

new lodges have been chartered and
500 members added during the year.
A good showing for this "ancient and
honorable" fraternal order. May it
Continue to spread and grow through

They are still doing business in the
regulation way in a certain Kentucky
district, despite the hard-times. One
week five men were lynched and SIX
toll gates were destroyed. And we
are to take it for granted that 1t was
not very good week for that sort OF
thing either.

THERE is no better section in the
world for intelligent farming than
right here in eastern North Carolina.
The lands are no, only rich and pro-
ductive, but will grow almost any
crop. With hard, intelligent work,
the farmer of moderate means can
make comfortable living here, if he
can anywhere on Gods green earth.
Much OF our lands are lying idle, and
farmers from the bleak north and
the blizzard stricken ives, could buy
these lands cheap and get in a mild
healthy climate where they could
make a comfortable living and live
comfortably, away from the billiards,
cyclones, floods, etc. Eastern Caro-
lima is the garden spot of the world

SOME THOUGHTS ON CHRISTMAS.
From the Lawrenceville (Va.) Ga
zette we take the following from the
pen of the able editor Of that paper,
Judge Buford:
The year is fast drawing to close.
1t is startling how swiftly they glide by
us as we grow older. The Holy
Christmas-lide, the most joyous festl
val of the year has come again, bring
ing joy and mirth and merry makings,
and sweet and blessed deeds OF love
and charity. For eighteen centuries
throughout all Chris:endom, this Won
drous Natal Day has been usheEed IN
with Ginning bells and joyous carols.
Surely a subtle charm turks Ill the
air; glory inefable rests on the earth
and hearts grow strangely soft and
tender; an electric thrill of common
brotherhood is felt throughout the
Christian world. The air is pulsating
again with the song the Angels sung
SO long ago over the Manger Cradle
among the Judean hills in far-oft
Bethlehem "Peace, good will and
mercy mild" Each mother is busy
preparing gifts for the little ones, and
there are few ofus so poor, So unhappy,
SO cold and hard who has not some
| beloved one for whom he has been
planning sweet surprises on this
happy morning. Besides our own be-
| loved ones there is another class who
have peculiar claims on lis at this
season, the poor, the wretched, the
outcast who are always with US, re-
membering, He hath made deeds OF
kindness and charity TO them, the
,ouch-stone of our religion. The
greatest thing says a beautiful writer
.uhat a man can do for his Heavenly
Father is 10 be kind to His children.
1t is a beautiful custom still in Norway
and Sweden, early on Christina:
morning TO scatter the seeds of wheat
for the birds of the air, believing (and
this sweet faith is more easily under
stood than many a weighty dogma,
"He prayeth best who loveth best all
things, both great and small" Many
and beautiful are the legends which
have come down to US of the Yule-tide
of the past. 1t has been from time
immemorial the children's festival
Santa Claus, Kris kringle, the beaut
full Christ Child Of the Germans have
made it and will make it .sjoy forev
err to the little folks. TO US who art
older the merry season brings sorrow
touched with joy, as thronging memo
ries come surging back from the misty
past, recalling the happier days 0
long ago. But blest and hallowed is
the time in which we commemorate
our Saviour's birthday, surely it is no
we'll morbidly to dwell on the past o
selhshly enjoy the present. The di
vine lesson it teaches are love, tender
ness and pity for all Gods suffering
creatures. If We heed these gentl
teachings and let them steal into GU
hearts and guide our daily lives, lhel
not in vain has been the earthly life o
the Divine Master and Teacher who's,
birthday makes the whole world gla(
to-day.

SENSIBLE TALK.

The following timely suggestions
from the Raleigh Press Vsitor.
What our contemporary says is worthy
of needing and acting upon and as
such we commend the advice to our
readers both in town and country:
The live wide-awake, practical and
sensible people of to-day are those
who are looking ahead, and not those
who are loilering in the recollectIons OF
the events of yesterday. We have had
the turmoil and upheaval Of an cleo
ton and the hilarity and merry max
ing Of Christians tide and the next
thing in order is TO look forward to
the work which will unfold itself be
fore US with the new year. The Press
Vsitor, after the chickering's OF pollu-
cal strife and the jollity and ninth OF
the holiday seasons bespeaSs lis read
ers a prosperous season Of actual pros
perty and bids them set their faces
towards composing it. Let US tall to
business industry with renewed zeal
and energy. There is nothing more
healthy for the individual man or for
the community at large than for every
one to push his business, and now that
the diversions of the fall and mid
winter have passed into history let US
put our shoulders to the wheel with a
vim and let US make the thrill Of re-
viving commercial activity felt in our
community and all around 1t.
