Prosperous Warren County Farmer.

Prosperous Warren County Farmer.
The following from the Warrenton
Record indicates that at least some
farmers in Warren are prosperous:
"a we'll known farmer of our county,
who wears rather shabby clothes, but
whose face betokens the clever, kind
hearted old planter of ante-bellum days
that he is, was seen to be knocking
about town the other day and especially
around the bank. After siding around
for some time; and supposing no one
was looking he timidly drew up to the
cashier, Mr.. J. M. Gardner, and told him
he had little money and wished to
know If he thought it would be safe for
him to put it in the bank. The CASH
Ter informed him that he thought it
would be, supposing the old gentleman
had some fifty or hundred dollars that
he wished to put aside for rainy day
during 1897, but the old gentleman
pulled out old pocket books and sock
legs till he piled up $1,000, and asked
that it be placed to his credit. Does
this look like hard times?''

Enfield Tobacco Market.
Last year when the people of Enfield
began to plan for opening a tobacco
market there was hesitancy on the part
of some who thought it might be too
near other markets to succeed we'll. 9th
ers, knowing the large quantities OF
tobacco already produced in Halifax
county and calculating on an increase
of the crop with market at home,
thought the enterprise promising one.
The Enfield people went to work and
made first class market, which has
paid as good prices ever since it opened
as any market in the State. The state
ment was made to us a few days ago by
one of the good men who has been on
the market there all the while that for
the first tour months the market was
open they sold over a million pounds of
tobacco, which was tho largest amount
of tobacco ever handled by q new mar
ket in Eastern North Carolina Tor the
same time after opening. This is in
deed encouraging and Enfield Il more
hopsful now than ever.

EXPOSURE TO DISEASE

Does not necessarily mean the contrac-
ton OF disease provided the system Is
in vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs In healthy &C
ton. When in such condition con-
taglon is readily resisted and the disease
germs can find no Judgement. Hoods
Sarsaparlla Is the best medicine to
to build up the system be cause it
makes pure, rich blood and pure blood
is the basis of good health. In cold
weather it is especially necessary to
keen up the health tone because the
body Is subject to greater exposure and
more l1able to disease. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla Is the safeguard of health

TO MY BROTHER.
MRS. FLORA E. BOSNIAN. vEN1, N. c.

Do not falter, dearest brother,
Though life's trials gather fast,
Boldly walk in duty's pathway,
Be thou faithful to the last.
You will often find distractions,
As you journey on through life,
For the tempter's ever ready
To fill up your way with strife.
Don't forget that youth is tender,
Easy to be led astray
By the many brilliant offers
That the world holds out to-day.
Only be thou firm and steadfast,
Holding out your armor bright
As signal for the spoiler
Of the honored sons of light.
Be thou true and faithful, brother,
To the dear, kind ones at home
May be, in the distant future
When stern Fate has made you roam
That your thoughts will wander back
ward
To the place that gave you birth.
For the childhood's home, though
humble,
Is the dearest home on earth.
Though among the sweetest flowers
You find thorns to wound your feet,
Know thou, in the pilgrlm's journey
Many, many thorns we'll meet.
Let your daily words be truthful,
Never falter in the act
keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the track"
