Improved Farming Machinery.
Progressive Farmer.

loSiCoSisO Il al iiCl
Improved farming machinery is
working a revolution in farming
methods all over the country, and
no where more perceptibly just now
than in North Carolina. This fact
wa. we'll illustrated by some clip
pings from State exchanges published
in our last issue. And last Thursdays
Cleveland Star contains the following
item which further emphasizes the
same idea:
1T is as surprising as it is gratify-
ing 10 see what rapid progress our
farmers are making in the matter Of
purchasing improved labor and time
saving farming machinery. One would
be astonished to drive over the cOln-
try and see how many wheat drills,
binders, reapers and mowers, and corn
and cotton cultiyators and sub-soilers
are owned by our people. 1t bespeaks
4 healthy and lively progress and the
good effects are manifest in many
WAYS. The wheat and oats harvest
is now fairly on. and in few weeks
the threshers will start on their
rounds. In threshing machines great
Improvement has likewise been made.
So also with cotton yin. and iiOnr and
corn mills. In other words this is a
hustliug age and Cievelan nd is fully
abreast with the most progressive
farming counties in the State.

Love Your Business.

A man can no more be successful in
a business he does not like than can a
man be happy with wife he does not
love.
Enthusiasm is the power which inn
pels men onward in any and every
vocation. Without it men are lethar-
gic. They will drift. But to pull
against the tide hey are as unable
as they are unwilling.
Drifting, however, does not win
the race, either in business or equatic
events.
There must be the long pull, the
strong pull, the pull with vigor.
Men in business today have no easy
task. There is a great deal to dis
courage and very little to encourage.
There are foes within and foes with
out to contend against.
Under such conditions it is no Won
der so many fail altogether or exc out
mere existence.
The antidote for despair is enthus-
iasm and the germ of enthusiasm is
love for, or pleasure in. that business
III which YOU are embarked.
Therefore, if you would succeed get
in love with Your business.

THE TYPICAL CAUCASIAN.
To Represent the Type, the Photo
graph of ZebuIon Baird Vance Is
Selected.

On page "a. of Maury's Elementary
Geography, Revised. there is an ex-
cellent picture OF Senator Iebulon
Baird Vance. Underneath the picture
is written, "A Caucasian"
In conversation with Prof. X. b.
Hunter, supervisor of county educa-
ton, the agent of the Maury Company
told an interesting story of how the
picture Of Senator Vance happened
to be in the geography. When the
geography was revised A committee
was appointed to select photograph
that would serve to faithfully define
ate the type Of each race. To obtain
the composite element, or to get a
picture that would best serve to por-
tray the varying features of the Cau-
casian, the committee selected 100
photographs from various places in
Europe and $50 from America. In
writing to the photographers the
committee requested that they select
the pictures they considered as repre-
sentative of the Caucasian.
1t is singular that six American
photographers chose the photograph
of Senator Vance as that Of typical
Caucasian.
When the committee came to make
a selection from the 25o photographs
they reached their decision by gradu-
ally discarding photographs that were
comparatively unsuitable. At the
last the six photographs of Vance
still remained, which Indicated that
the choice of the committee was
unanimous
To those who have seen Senator
Vance or his photographs the conclu-
sion of the committee is not surpris-
ing. His physiognomy embodied the
best and strongest in the Anglo-Saxon,
who is dominant among Caucasians,

The San Francisco call., 1901-12-25
EASTERN COUPLE COME
TO COAST TO MARRY
W. G.. Blatt of Detroit and Mrs. Grace
Wilson of Denver Quietly
Wedded

A quiet marriage was solemnized at the
residence of Rev. DR.. John Hemphill, at
2020 Broadway, yesterday. The contract
ing couple were William G. Blatt, West
ern manager of Pingree & Smith, the
well-known shoe firm of Detroit Mich,
of which the late Governor of Michigan
was senior member, and Mrs. Grace Will
son, a wealthy widow of Denver.
The groom is we'll known to the business
community of San Francisco. He is con-
nected with several large enterprises,
chief among which is the Robert Mitchell
Machine Company of Detroit, of which he
is vice president. He arrived in this city
about two weeks ago, but his most inti-
mate friends were not aware that his trip
to the coast was made especially to meet
his fiancee, Mrs. Wilson, who was plan
ming a bridal tour to Honolulu. Mrs VIII
son arrived here the day after Blatt, and
preparations for the marriage were COM
pleted. The wedding was private, and
after the ceremony the happy couple re-
ceived the congra tulatiOns of their friends
in their parlors at the Palace.
The bride is a handsome young woman,
accomplished and quite wealthy. She has
for several years Fast been a belle in Den
ver's best set. The groom is a young man
of excellent family, widower and the
possessor of a competency. The couple
will leave for Del Monte tomorrow, and
after a few days at that resort they will
visit their homes in the East. The Homo
lulu trip has been temporarily abandoned.
