A Name for the Farm.

The farm homes of distinguished men have
usually had special names; as, Mount Vernon, The
Hermitage, etc. But modern civilization has
made a name for every farm almost a necessity.
Not only is mail to be left, but sometimes grocer
les, and other merchandise. Strangers also de-
sire to find the place, and often wander up and
down the road in much perplexity while trying to
decide which gate to enter, when a small sign
bearing the name of the farm and the name of
its owner will tell all at once. The name should
be appropriate. If the house stands among some
oaks in a meadow, let it be called "Oakmead." IF
there is a brook near by, call the place "Brook-
side" If it commands a beautiful prospect, call
it "Fairview." Other names equally appropriate
will suggest themselves in different cases. A
beautiful and appropriate name individualizes a
home. It is something around which pleasant as
sociations cluster. The family has a greater in
terest in the place and is more jealous for it's good
name, and appearance, in the public estimation.
If it is really a worthy place, they take pride in
showing it to their friends and acquaintance.
Besides, the advertising value of an appropriate
name is considerable. The side of the mail box
is a good place for the name, provided there is
room. A neatly painted board just above the box
is better. The lettering should be very plain and
distinct. Black letters on a white ground, or just
the reverse, will be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Epitomist.

served as Speaker of the North Carolina House of
Representatives and Mayor of Raleigh. He died
young.
The article, "The Correct Use of the Mother
Tongue" is an extract from a special paper writ
ten by the late Erwin Avery for Charity and Chill
dren some months ago. It deserves a careful
reading by both young and old.

DIR. 81. T. Freeman, of Wilson County. He is
another one of those writer's, each of whose let
tiers is worth the cost of a years subscription.
And we are also expecting to hear from Blake
johnson, of CASTOR County, and J. H. Parker, of
Perquimans, rather more frequently in the future:
Among articles of special interest, we direct at

FARMERS ALLIANCE MATTERS.

The Program Committee of the State Farmers
Alliance suggests the following topic for discus
sion at the County Alliance meetings this week
I'm what way can we make our Sub Alliance meet
ings more entertaining and profitable 2" The topic
suggested for discussion in Sub Alliances will be
announced in our. next issue.
1t is to be hoped that the county meetings
Thursday will be largely attended. The Order is
daily gaining strength throughout the State and
with proper effort on the part of the county or
CARNATIONS, the membership may be nearly
doubled within the next twelve months. At each
county meeting a survey of the field should be
made, and plans matured for organizing any Sec
tions in which there are evidences of sufficient in
terest. The discussion of ways and means of en-
livening Sub meetings ought to prove very profta-
bic. But of course the Program Committee mere
ly recommends or suggests topics, and the ALI
ance is at liberty to substitute any other question
it may desire.
This Program Committee, it may be said just
here, expects to publish at an early date a leafet
of general suggestions for deepening interest in
Alliance work and increasing the value of Ali
ance meetings. And it is we'll that the Order is
awakening to the Importance of this matter.
As we have said before, the great problem con-
fronting the Alliance is not that of getting men
into its ranks efor Lecturer Gates is finding it
easy to organize Subs wherever he goes), but of
making the meetings of such of interest and value
as to keep the members in good standing and
regular attendance after their names are enrolled
on the Sub books.
Go to your County Alliance meeting and give
the brethren the benefit of your ideas.

Mr.. Sherman continues his "Insect Talks"
coming this week to the potato beetle. And this
leads us to say that within a week or two we ex-

the Importance of spraying potatoes.
DR.. Burkett begins in this issue a series OF
valuable articles on "The Feeding and Manage

through several weeks and will be an especially
attractive feature of our paper. The Doctors
Live Stock and Dairy Page" is exciting a good
deal of interest and the letters each week are of
great practical value. Especially noteworthy Is
that of Mr.. Fl. NJ. Daniel in this number on
breeding mules and steers.

"a MAN PASSES FOR WHAT HE Is WORTH"

The whole State mourns for Erwin Avery, dead
at 32-knows of his work and sorrows because
he works no more. And yet he only had charge
of the local columns of a daily-the kind of work
which does not ordinarily attract attention out
side the town limits-and was one of the most
modest and unassuming of men. It is only an
other illustration of that notable truth which
Emerson has so clearly expressed: GA man passes
for what he is worth. Very idle is all curiosity
concerning other peoples estimate of us, and idle
is all fear of remaining unknown. IF a man
know that he can do anything-that he can do it
better than any one else-he has a pledge of the
acknowledgements of that fact by all persons.
The world is full of judgment days, and into every
assembly that a man enters, in every action that
he attempts, he is gagged and stamped"

ga Divine Partner.

This is the way Farmer ii. M. Daniel, of Madi-
son County, thinks of God, who sends the heavy
and frequent rains which have so hindered farm
labor this season. In a letter to The Progressive
Farmer he speaks of the disappointments which
have so often come this spring to the farmers
when they were about ready to start their plows,
but have been hindered again by the rains. He
says philosophically: owe farmers cannot afford
to complain of the decisions of our Divine part
ner. Without him we indeed can do nothing"
And this is a most wise and sensible view to take
of the, weather. 1t is a wonder that God lets some
people prosper at all-they grumble SO much
about weather, heat and cold, and whatever does
not suit them exactly-Scotland Neck Common

Erwin Avery's Last "Idle Comment"

"The violets again-little wet %violets, and there
is the clean, sweet breath of spring. One would
lift his head and drink deep-taste this sweetness
that is about. There is a quicker leap of life, and
nature seems to stir with a kind of tenderness.
There is deeper glow on the faces of children
easier happiness on a tiny, nesting face-girl-
hood comes to outward whiteness again-the cool,
crisp sign of spring. And in all is the subtle
charm of violets-little, human, tremulous things,
gentle as loves whisper, pure as purity. Restful,
quaint little flower, too-simple, appealing. .....
Flower to lay on a baby that has died-to give as
seemly tribute to womanhood-to press against
the face as easement for tired heart. Such
a dear, peaceful little flower, all alone in flower
la~nd-emblem of the worlds simplest and best,
and waiting to mock a false face or adorn the
beauty that comes fro mthe soul"

Spring in the South.

Now in the oak the sap of life is yelling,
Though to the bough the rusty foliage clings;
Now on the elm the misty buds are swelling;
See how the p~ine-wood grows alive with wings!
Bluejay futtering, yodeling, and crying;
M~eadow-larks sailing low above the withered
grass;
Red-birds whistling clear, silent robins flying
Who has walked the birds up? What has come
to pass?
Last years cotton plants, desolately bowling,
Stand in the fallows, rugged and forlorn.
Red are the hill-sides of the early blowing,
Gray are the lowlands, waiting for the corn.
Earth seems asleep still; but tbs only feigning;
Deep in her bosom thrills a sweet unrest.
Look where the jasmine lavishly is raining
Jove's golden shower into Danae's breast.
Now on the plum the snowy bloom is drifted;
Now on the peach, the glory Of the rose;
Over the hills a tender haze is sifted;
Full to the brim the yellow river flows.
Dark cypress-bough with vivid glisten,
Greener than emeralds shining in the sun.
Who has wrought the magic? Listen, sweetheart,
listen!
The mocking-bird is singing: Spring has be-
gun.
Hark, in his song no tremor of misgiving!
All of his heart he pours into his lay,
Glove, love, love, and pure delight of living;
Winter is forgotten; live for love to-dayp'
Fair in your face, I read the fowery presage,
Snowy on your brow, and rosy on your mouth,
Sweet in your voice, I hear the seasons message:
"Love, love, love, and Spring in the Soulful"
Henry van Dkye, in the Ooutlook.
