- Citizens near Fayetteville, N. c.,
recently witnessed the flight of two
enormous eagles-the largest ever seen
in North Carolina. One Of the birds
had a pig in its talons, and was easily
soaring away with it. Many shots
were fired, but without effect. More
eagles have been seen in North Caro-
lima this year than ever before, and all
are of large species.

A customer living in Yorkville, who is

ourselves, and who only bought what he
supposed to be our "baits" in the begin
ming, said to lis few days ago, that he
knew by practical experience that our
average prices were lower than any con-
cern in town, and that the quality OF
goods he bought of us was always the
best. If you will test the matter you will
find that he is correct. We handle only

WHICH ROUTEi

IF you were sent for your family physi-
L clan to 20 and see member OF your
family who was desperately sick-slck
unto death-and there were two routes Dy
which you could 60, and one was say, one
half the distance of the other, which one
would you choose? Would you 60 round
or through? We think you would 60 the
nigh way.
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE RAIN
You have desperate case on your hands
now, in that planting time is at hand and
your land is not prepared for the SEED.
OF course, you can plant your corn or
cotton without getting your land ready;
but if you do, you will have twice as
much work to do as you would have had,
had you prepared it before planting, and
a corresponding decrease in the yield.
1T WILL PAY TO START RIGHT
And 90 the nigh way. You can do this
by using A GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW in breaking your land, If
YOU will call on us we will tell you how
you can break eight to ten acres day to
the depth of six inches at less cost than
YOU can break four to depth Of not ex-
ceeding two nd-one-half inches, by the
ordinary method. By our plan, you will
have no clods, and by yours you will
have little else on red land.

Forgiving Small Injuries.

How often are our feelings hurt by a
sharp look, sarcastic laugh or an i'll
tempered remark. Our ignorance in
some common branch may be exposed
to laughter, a thOughtless slip of the
tongue, jeered at, or a careless mistake
be received with derisive laughter.
What feeling of anger surges through
one! Months may pass, the amused
spectator viii have forgotten the incl
dent, but the scene is scared on ones
memory, perhaps never to be forgotten
nor forgiven.
These little Sights are harder to for
give than big injuries, they rankle and
sting, and seem to grow to huge proper
tions. Being brooded over, they seem
like the deepest insults. How are we
to treat these mocking foes?
First think carefully on both sides.
The scoffer probably at once forgot the
Incident, is it worth while then to cher
ish Il dislike against an unconscious foe
who can never make reparation?
Might you not have laughed If the
eases had been reversed? Console YOUR
self with the thought that if you have
made one such blunder he has probably
made ten. Everybody has. Next, make
resolution to forgive and forget the
slight, and do you be more careful
about soothing ut other peoples mis-
takes.
The greatest surgeon may not know
who wrote Henry Esmond, nor the
greatest artist the situation of Moscow,
but are they not great all the same?

Fish Are Short-Siphted.

All fish and other creatures that live
below the surface of the water are
shortsighted.
OF what use to them would long sight
be when. at Il comparatively shallow
depth, the range of vision is limited,
from lack of light, to only few yards ?
The result is the crystalline lens of a
hsh's eye is bulged to an almost spher-
ical shape, and the fish must live in a
world of surprises, seeing things loom
up suddenly out of fog.
The nets we stretch for them would
hardly take fish, at least in daylight
II they could see as we do In air.

Although the velocity of the gales on

Prior to the advance of winter, the
observatory is stocked with Goals,

their existence there has given rise to
good deal of controversy. About a year

since and, although partaking of moth

lively as when it was taken up.
