Such is Life.

A newspaper man was asked to
publish an article roasting a citizen.
"Certainly," he said to the caller,
"what shall l write?" He was fur
ni.hed with an outline Of what was
wanted, and wrote an article that
was 4 scorcher. That's splendid"
exclaimed the man, delightsdly, when
the article was read to him. THAT
is right; that'll make his old hair
crinkle." "All right" said the editor;
''let me see, what are your initials!"
Good heavens" said the citizen,
"you are not going to sign my name
to that?" why not?" asked the sdi-
tor. 81 wouldn't have anyone know
that 1 had anything to do with that
Tor the world; l can't afford to get
into fray with my neighbours" The
editor smiled benevolently and said:
'.Why should l get mixed up in \
scrap that does not concern me? Why
should you expect me to assume the
blame of all publication of such an
article to which you are afraid to
sign your name9" The man stopped
his paper and went away mad. And
such 10 life.-Durham Sun.

Every Family In the South Should
Plant Pecan Trees,

The Pecan tree not only bears one Of
the most delicious nuts, but it is one OF
the most hardy trees that grows in the
South, and makes as fine a shade tree as
the Elm or Maple and no family ought
to be without a few trees. 1t would pay
the town authorities to do as the French
authorities do, plant nut bearing trees
on the sidewalks and get revenue there
from A town that this year would put
out a thousand trees on the sidewalks at
comparatively small cost would, in ten
years, get an annual return OF at least
$4,000 and each year there would be
an increase until the income would reach
from three to five thousand dollars
annually. Enough to more than pay all
taxes of an ordinary size town.
The trees do well planted in cotton and
corn fields. and farmers can cultivate the
lands in crops of corn and cotton until
the trees get to bearing, and after they
commence bearing a farmer with ten to
twenty acres has small fortune in his
Pecan grove and don't need to plant
cotton and corn. The tree is hardy and
stands the cold weather anywhere South
of Maryland. At Pinebluff, North Caro-
lima, there is a company that makes a
speciality of growing the young trees for
sale, and we advise the town authorities,
and all readers OF our paper, to write
the PinebIuff Grape 4 Pecan Company.

WHAT THEY MISSED.
Those Who Stayed Away From the

the Losers Thereby.

Those who did not attend the mass

added laurels to the fame OF Max

time it was eulogistic and wholly
complimentary to cher royal high

interject the speakers side remarks
and tiashlight his mannerisms the
GOLD LEAF would print it in full.
But type could not convey an ade-
quate idea of what it was. 1t was
necessary to see and hear the speaker
to fully appreciate and enjoy his "few
remarks.''
What the others lacked in humor
was amply compensated for in sound
practical ideas. earnestness and elo-
quence. All declared themselves
heartily in favor of the movement
and pledged their earnest support
and encouragement.

1t has been said by many old stu

perience has been that every pound
Of dust in tho month OF March is
