Warning Notes Calling the Wicked
to Repentance.
1t takes hot fire to purify gold.
He most lives who lives for others.
1t is as safe to trust in God as it
ever was.
Don't give tract where bread is

Life has most in it for those who
love God best.
When you know what a man be-
lieves you know what he is.
Truth never stays over night In
any house built on the sand.
Never measure any mans piety by
the length of his face.
What men call failure may often be
what angels call success.
Every failure carries a guide book
to success in it's inside pocket.

Charity and Children.
We rejoice in believing that the
business conditions of the country
are on the mend, and not because of
the tariff law or any other law, but
simply because our people have been
economical and Industrious, and the
Lord has given us good crops. This
years wheat crop is above the
average in the United States, while
the countries that compete with US
in supplying the European market
are far below. India, with her great
famine will, of course, send no wheat
to Europe this year, and Australia
and Russia will barely make enough
for home consumption This will
insure good prices. Other crops
have done we'll, and the prospect is
bright for good prices. If our people
will only "be thankful and go on,
we will pass out of the hard times,
hardly knowing how.

Bicycle and Lawn Mower Combined.


Quite novel labor-saving device
has been evolved from the inventive
brain of Stephen Louder, the colored
gardener employed by a well-known
resident of Swarthmore. Stephen,
while pushing lawn mower over his
masters grounds, conceived the idea
of combined bicycle and lawn
mower, and Immediately put his
theory into practice. Taking a wheel
belonging to a member of the family,
he fastened the mower to the cycle
by means of a rope, and, mounting
the silent steed, attempted to push
the mower through the grass His
scheme proved very unsuccessful at
first, but much persevering on the
part of the inventive darkey and
some additional rope resulted in the
scheme being success, and now he
may be seen every Monday, sitting
comfortably on a wheel, showing the
lawn mower at a good rate of speed,
with an expression of deep satisfac-
ton on his dark brown visage.

WINSTON TOBACCO FAIR.

Our Tobacco Board of Trade has
decided to hold big Tobacco Fair
In Winston about the LIST of Novem.
Der next.
This decision and the harmony and
unanimity connected Herewith
smacks of Winston Salem's former
public spiritedness and will be gener-
ally regarded as a harbinger of a
more satisfactory era in our local
affairs
The Fair must be made a success.
The idea of failure is not to be enter
tanned. The management has been
entrusted to competent hands and it
is to be expected that all matters
pertaining to the Fair will be pushed
from now on, with the determination
that it shall be credit to the Twin
City and to the Piedmont section.
Now, let our citizens generally en-
courage and co operate with tt Fair
Association in the work which it has
undertaken. The benefits of the Fair
will not be confined to the tobacco
interests and it will not do to say
that only tobacco men are concerned.
The advertisement of the Fair during
the next three months, and the Fair
itself, will be a big advertisement for
Winston Salem and will attract
widespread attention to the city,
bestowing general benefit.
The scope of the Fair and the
details thereof will be formulated
and announced later. We presume
the officers will be pleased to receive
suggestions along this line. 1t
might be we'll enough to consider the
idea of extending the exhibits beyond
the tobacco interests, so as to in
clude our merchants and our manu-
facturers generally. Whatever may
be the conclusion in these respects,
let us all pull together for the success
of the Fair.
The decision to hold the Fair does
not, in our opinion, preclude the
desirability of the Welcome Week
project. Both might be held at the
same time, but we think it better to
make two distinct events of them,
mainly on account of the time.
November LIST is a good date for the
Tobacco Fair, but the Welcome
Week should occur nearer the Fall
and Winter openings of our mer-
chants, say about the middle of Sep
TENDER, or first of October.
What says the Merchants and
Traders Union about the Welcome
Week idea?
