This week we have received a love

part of the State, and she writes:
81 shall be glad to get a r
respondent, one who is a 'shut-in' OF
whom I can cheer a little. I want
to get right to work to pass on good
cheer"
Now, was I not right when I sail
it was a lovely letter? Then She
also tells me she is twenty-seven
years old. So l have written her
about these other twenty-sevens and
sent some addresses, and I know it
will be a charming circle. Now, to
join this circle, you have to be just
twenty-seven years old, and then on
the birthday of each the other TWEEN
ty-six (for membership is limited to
twenty-seven), will write a CHEEKY
birthday letter and the one receiving
the letters will report it. Now.
isn't that a lovely plan? We have

Mrs. Ransier'S Letter.


All, friend, life is not so dreary
After ALL
TITS the way we do our duties
Makes them small.
s. Grand and glorious could the hum
blest
Life work be,
IF we only try to do it
Worthily.
While so many hearts are breaking,
While so many homes are sad,
Happy we should be, if only
We can make one poor heart glad.
1t has been said that we are given
our relatives, but we choose our
friends.
"I have found brothers and sis
tiers, mother and father, outside my
family" a woman said to me the
other day.
And so it is with many. How Of
ten there is between relatives an in
descriable barrier, a frigid, impass-
able something which is without
name and beyond description; a line
over which you fear to cross, while
among friends you will find this one
or that to whom your heart goes out
directly in sympathy, who under
stands your tasks and your own kind
of humor, and sort of peeks into
your soul and understands. The rel
ative who never, permits you to creep
close to his or her heart complains
that you have greater trust and in
terest in friends than in family.
Some individuals keep you at arms
length. They would die for you, suf-
fer for you, care for you, fight for
you and protect you, but when you
van some one on whose shoulders
you a lay your tired head and sob
out your little foolish SORROWS, he or
she is not the one to whom you turn.
What is the strange chill that keeps
you two aloof2 You cannot say.
You do not know. 1t is something
that none can define or understand.
But it is sad, very sad. Sometimes
this strange. mental and spiritual
estrangenent exists between parent
and child. 1t is unnatural and some
thing hard to comprehend.
1 think it is caused by Withholding
little evidences of affection, in say
ing those sweet little absurd moth
ings that are so e~ndearing, that take
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-02-16

that affection should be kept sealed
up like preserves, for we do not know
it exists unless we are told of it now
and then, bv a pressure of the hand,
an embrace, q look of fondness.
eff you love them, tell them 10,
Ere the teacherous moments go;
Do not keep affection hid,
Till above the coffin lid;
Do not wait
Until too late,
Till the hearts that would have
stirred
Gladly to your spoken word,
Silent are, with love unheard;
Tell it now"
Surely there are many in this
world who, coming to the end of the
race, must regret that they buckled
up inside their hearts all the sweet
nesses that, given freedom and sent
out like messenger birds, would have
brought home such tender answers
that would have made the journey an
excursion of song and happiness in
stead of a slow plodding under gray
clouds and in the mists of tears.
"The mystery of ministry is this:
Who gives most blessings gains the
greatest bliss"
As I write, I Glance out at the
snow-covered mountains, beautiful
indeed, but the air is cold, freezing
cold. and I am thinking of those who,
like myself, are in warm rooms with
comforts we like all about us. Then
I think of those others who are
shivering in body and wrctched Of
heart and hungry; can we not do
something to relieve and help the
needy ones2 To do a little good, to
relieve suffering, to var the cold
and to feed the hungry-how much
DctLSI Is ILLS lldA " "IdP-OAICSClA
in a cloak of piggyness and to brood
upon ones own absurd little griev-
ancesl
You can do lots if you will.
Go through your wardrobe and give
those things you can spare. Buy a
piece of outing flannel and make a
lot of warm nighties for little chill
1ren. Gather up the discarded stock
ings of the family and all the under
wear that has been outgrown Or
thrown away, and mend them nicely
and send to the poor. Anything!

insure its success. At meeting of the
board of directors last Tuesday after
noon James Turnbull asked for suffi-
cient space in the exhibition building
to make display Of the horticulture
and garden products of the DeWeese
tract on Lincoln Park, which was
granted.
Following in TurnbulPs example it
is expected that others will request
space for special exhibits of various
kinds and that emulation to excel will
result in some very artistic displays
being made. Superintendent Work was
requested to encourage special displays
of fruits, vegetables and grains Of va
rious kinds, as well as mechanical
products, and to grant prospective e1-
hibitors such space as they might re-
quire. The interest manifested in
these special displays is . guarantee
that this feature will be one of consid-
erable prominence.
Kohlman, Chairman Of the racing
committee. was authorized BY the
board of directors to arrange for an
automobile parade during one day OF
the fair and to that end he will en-
deavor to enlist interest in the matter
among the automobilists of Canon
