THE GOOD OLD COUNTY OF CATAWBA

DEAR AUNT JENNIE 1t has been
so long since I last wrote to the So
cial Chat column I feel like a stran-
ger seeking admittance. This time
l will tell my readers something of
Catawba county, where I was born
and always lived.
This county was largely settled by
immigrants of German origin, who
still retain unimpaired their thrift,
industry and skill as farmers and
mechanics. I remember when a
girl l attended church in the country,
all the old folks spoke the German
language, and it was a source Of
great annoyance to me, as I could
not understand a word they said.
Catawba county has many Lutheran
and German Reformed churches, but
other denominations are we'll rep
resented,
We have six nice little towns, and
good railroad facilities, fine schools,
mineral springs in different parts of
county, and a large number of man
~ufacturing enterprises. Numbers of
our thrifty Dutch have ~emigrated
West, and George G. Yount, one Of
the earliest pioneers of civilization
OF the Pacific coast, the man who
built the first log house and raised
the first chimney in California, was
a native of this county and was born
in the year 1894.
It was customary here many years
ago to give only the boys a college
education, but now the girls have
equal chances with the boys. Cataw-
ba is well represented in most of the
best colleges in the State, and a good
many go North to school, and some

BEAUTY's GREATEST FOE.
An Il-Temper is Always Sure to Ruin Its
Victims Beauty.

An ul-Temper is Always Sure to Ruin Its
Victims Beauty.
Bad temper and worry will trace
more wrinkles in one night than hot
and cold bathing and massage and
complexion brushes and cream and
lotions can wash out in a years faith
full application. Physicians assert
that an immense amount of nerve
force is expended in every fit of bad
temper that when one little part Of
the system gets wrong the
face first records it. The eyes begin
losing the luster of youth, muscles
become flabby, the skin refuses to
contract accordingly, and the inevi-
table result is wrinkles, femininity's
ferCest and most insidiOus foe. There
is no use attempting to reason with
a wOman about the evil effects of i'll
temper while she is in an ugly mood.
She knows perfectly well that it is
bad form thatitsavors of the coarse
and INBRED that it is weak and be-
lifting and immoral, and that it
hurts her cause TO lose her temper.
But she does not stop at just that
time to think about it, and to remind
her of the fact only adds fuel to the
flames.
But when she is cool and serene
and at peace with all the world, if
you can convince her that each fit Of
temper adds a year to her age by
weakening her mental force and by
tracing crow-tracks about her eyes
and teIltale lines around her mouth,
she Will probably think twice before
again forgetting herself. For no
matter what she asserts to the con-
trary, woman prizes youth and beauty
above every other gift the gods hold
in their power to bestOw upon NOR
tals.-Adele E. Shaw, in Woman's
Home Companion.

FOR CANNING STRAWBERRIES,

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il have been
a reader of the Social Chat for some
time. but have not had the courage
to ioin the band. I think Cape Fear
wrote a nice letter. Education is
what is lacking in this part of
the country. Free schools are by
NO e as good as they should be-.
think Will Retlaw wrote a good
letter in reply to Tennessee Boy.
wouder how many of our cousins
have read the book Ten Nights in a
Bar Room?" [ think it should be a
lesson to all who read it. There is
nothing good carried on in a bar
room, and I do not think one has to
90 far from home to @ it. A great
many spend Christmas in drinking
whiskey and gambling. Do you think
that is the way to celebrate Christ's
birth?
Twill give a recipe for canning
strawberries. Pick the fruit when
fully ripe, rejecting all imperfect ber-
ries remove the hull and wash, if
necessary! Make a syrup Of sugar,
and sufficient water to dissolve, al
lowing from a fourth to half a pound
Of sugar to one pound Of fruit. Let
the sugar boil, and remove the scum !;
then add the berries and allow to
boil slowly until cooked through,
stirring carefully from the bottom to
insure their cooking evenly. AS
soon as sufficiently cooked put into
self-sealing al when cold tighten
the covers and set in a cool dark
place. If allowed to stand in the
light the berries will not retain their
color.

sins much success, LORETTA.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
Be a Good Boy; GOOd-by.

How oft in my dreams l go back to the day
When [ stood at our old wooden gate,
And started to school in full battle array,
Well armed with a primer and slate.
And as the latch fell l thought myself free,
And g1oried, 1 fear, on the sly,
Till I heard a kind voice that whispered to nae:
BE a good boy; goOd-by."
BE a good boy good-by." 1t seems
They have followed me all these years.
They have given Il form to my youthful dreams
And scattered my foolish fears.
They have stayed my feet on many a brink,
Unseen by a blinded eye;
For just in time I would pause and think:
BE d good boy gOOd-by."
Oh, brother of mine, il the battle of life,
Just starting or nearing its close,
This motto alOft, in the midst of the strife,
VIII conquer wherever it goes.

But, brother, just honestly try
TIE accomplish your best. In whatever OCCURS

would probably attend the Christian
Endeavor Convention which conven-
ed in this city last week, but she
failed to come and I was disappointed.

for the uplifting of mankind.
Mrs. Null writes IS an exceedingly
interesting letter this week. She has
been absent quite a while and we are
glad she has returned. Many thanks
for your nice letter, and may L ask
that you be so kind as to tell us
something Of whatyOu see in Macon

trip through these counties? Now,
will not many of you follow Mrs.
Mull's example and tell us OF your
county, it's scenery, enterprises, fac
tories, schools and historical facts
connected Herewith We North
Carolinians are lacking in home pride.
Ours is a grand old State and we
should take more interest in her his
tory, traditions and the lives and
deeds of her great men. l have so
often envied Virginians their
State pride and wished that there
were some way opened tome by which
[ might tell our boys and girls that
the world values u as we value our
selves. This is why SO little is known
of our State and her resources by the
outside world. How anxious a Vir-
gilman is to tell you of his or her
native! State And there is some
thing SO impressingly beautiful in
their loyalty. Let US know more OF
our dear old States resources, Strug-
giles, defeats and victories, and l
think that we as her daughters and
sons will feel proud to proclaim to
all mankind that North Carolina is
our mother State. Many times have
l been asked by strangers if ! were
not of New England origin and l al
ways take pride in replying that my
ancestors for generations have been
native North CarOlinians. I regret
that we have not the pluck and push
that characterizes our Northern
brothers and sisters, but I do not
envy them their nativity.

MAKING WILLS AND OTHER LEGAL MAT
TIERS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il was trying
this morning to count the number Of
persons whom I have known that
have been robbed of their property
rights because Of the failure Of
parents to leave a written will. These
parents expressed themselves as
wishing such and such child to have
so and so, but when they died the
unwritten wills proved in law no
wills at all. We have known noble
self-sacrifcing boys and girls to re-
main at home, tenderly care for the
old folks, economic and manage
things for them, believing and hav-
ing verbal promises to the effect that
when the parents no longer lived the
home place would be theirs. The
final day comes. All gather to pay
their last tribute. The children in
business come home from affair. The
last sad rites have been observed.
They return from the burial and
soon property rights are discussed.
The avariciOus brothers discover
that Sam has only his fathers ''say
so" as to the ownership of the home
place.
Now most of us who have attained
years of discretion and have observed
human nature know how this Incl
dent ended. Sam is to start life
middle aged and poor, compared with
the other members of his fathers
house but he is a man and after all,
I do not think his condition as pitia-
BILE as that of a girl whom I knew
similarly situated who was compelled
to live around among her people after
they had cheated her out of all that
her parents said they meant for
her to have.
Still another instance that has
come under my observation was that
of an honest, hard working, stingy
old farmer, who possessed little edu-
cation himself but was anxious that
his children have every advantage
offered by higher education. A son
who was especially bright in his
books got the home place after the
fathers death. The old man had al
ways said that a certain daughter
would inherit it but "said SO" failed
again.
Could u text books on civil gov
eminent be revised to include more
of common law I fancy their useful
ness would be much enhanced. Much
Of such evil arises from ignorance of
