So I see daily some evidence
OF the benefit of talking up your
town and people and what
is accomplished.
Oar own Graded School has
done as much or more than any
other factor in building up North
Carolina, as the seeds there sown
are now bearing fruit all over
our land. Let the the good work
go on and on until no white child
of North Carolina is an uneducat-

In noticing the death of Rich

few days ago by cable, both the

ship of the tune and words of the
we'll known hymn, "Rock of
Ages" to him. Mr.. Rsdhead was
the organist of st. Mary Magda-
lene church in Paddington, Lon
don, for which he wrote many
masses, and he was also the COM
poser of many pieces of sacred vo-
cal music, among them a tune
known as t'Gethsemane," to which
the CROCK of Ages" is sometimes
sung, though rarely, if ever, in
this country. The hymn itself was
written by Toplady, and the tune
which almost universally accom~
panies the words, itself called
'Top'ady," was written by Thorn
as Hastings, who was born in
Connecticut, in 1874, but lived in
New York the larger part of his
life and died there In 1872, Many
of the most beautiful of the olde
fashioned church tunes, now so
rapidly going out Of fashion, are
of his composing,

Harrison on Honesty.


May Success.
81 have been taught that honor
was first of all things in this
world; that it was the foundation
of everything, from mans chars
acter to his tombstone. I have
been told that, if a man lives a
strictly honest life be will be led
by unsc en- hands to the goal he
strives to gain, and that, even if
he should make no goal of recog-
milton in his life, fate will bless
him with a happiness that is great
or than all riches. It seems to
me that it would be an easy thing
for man to say, 81 am going to
be honest" even If he is not, and
live up to that doctrine. People
may doubt his sincerity, at first,
but the time will come when they
will see that he meant to do all
that he agreed to do, and he will
receive their absolute trust and
confidence, and his life, instead OF
being rufled with abuse and diss
respect, will be even and peace
full.
