dREELY's ARCTIC CHRISTMAS
Though Starving, Good Will and
Love was the Countersign

"On Christmas Day we all ask
ed ourselves the same wondering
question: Was there ever such an
other Christmas as ours?' writes
Gen. A. w. Greely, in the October
Ladies' Home Journal, of his aw-
full winter at Cape Sabine, where
eighteen of his party of twenty
four explorers perished. at was
a feast day for which certain food
was set apart, and it was as if we
had almost enough to eat. The self
denial of two months now gave us
about three ounces each of rice,
which was stewed, with about equal
amounts of rasins and condensed
milk-the only sweet, as our sugar
was gone. Then came a cup of
chocolate and in the evening a gill
of hot rum-a precious stim ulant
saved for emergencies. In the
health, strength and plenty of the
past two years there was always
complaining, which was rare in
the misery of that period. That
Christmas silent endurance bios
somed into speech, and each strove
to outdo in sympathy and affec-
ton. The embers of hate, that oft
glowed under the breath of cir
cumstance, lost their last spark of
malice. Good will and love were
the parole and countersign of the
day. How can such wealth of
things spiritual spring up in
wretched environments of things
material if it be not the expression
of immortal souls? Sure it was
that our bodies were fast coming
to death, as slowly but inevitably
they were getting out of environ
ment of biting cold and bitter
hunger. The soul appears to thrive
when the body fails. Fairer were
some of these faces to me, since
many turned all their manly
strength to work for others good
AS to our faith and hope, stronger
on that Christmas day than ever,
they had been voiced by Cardinal
Newman as if for US alone at that
time:
= So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on
Ger moor and fen, DER crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,'"

The Outlook for Straw berries

Mr.. J.. A. Westbrook, of Mt. Olive,
was here yesterday on his way home
from Conway, Horny county, s. c.
AS Nhr readers know, MIR. Westbrook
is the largest strawberry grower along
the line of the Wilmington and Weldon
railroad. He tells us that the straw
berry plants are looking fine, out there
is great complaint of a lack of
rain. The plants have been blooming
ever since January and if it hal not
been for the frost on Monday, we would
have had Strawberries this month. All
the blooms that were not under cover
were killed, though some growers had
their plants covered.
Mr.. WestbroOk says the strawberry
industry has developed considerably
around Conway, and the fields there
are white with blooms. The growers
herabouts expect to m shipping
about the goth of April, but if there
are no severe frOsts in the next week
or so, the shipments will commence
earlier. Shipments have been made
from along the Wilmington and Weldon
railroad as early as April 5th.
The prospect is bright for a good
crop, provided the drought does not
continue.

bly, widened, and new trees planted along

From the road to the mineral springs

BILE shrubbery has been removed. The
work if improving the road is being push
ed rapidly forward.
