You Can Tie to the old Reliable.
News and Observer

The Raleigh News and Observer
contends that the caption of the act
relating to hunting and thought by
mistake to apply to the entire State,
settles the matter and makes it apply
only to a township in Arson county.
The caption of the act reads: can act
to regulate hunting in Lanesboro
township, in Arson county" If the
News and Observer is right about it,
the country will draw a sigh of relief
and proceed to move on.

or ever the farmhouse fires
Send up their incense pearly
In wavering morning spires.
When the sheep in hooks Of the meadows
Are lying still
And the old wheel dreams In the shadows
Behind the mill,
Then IN the hush OF the dawnlng In the
silvery mists and the dew,
God opens the door a little way, ana little
feet go through.
Sometimes it's when the wonder,
The hush and the dews have fed,
And noontide life pants under
The glare OF the noon o'erhead,
When the plowman's burrows are creeping
over the land.
Or rises the whir Of the reaping
On every hand
Or ever the swath Is finished, or the long
brown furrow is run,
The unseen door swings open wide, and
the strong mans work Is done.
Sometimes when the lamps OF heaven
And the homelier lights Of earth
Burn dim in the lonely even,
On high, or beside the hearth,
When the children go, and the CHEEKY
Good nights are said,
And naught's by the fire but a weary
And bowling head
Then opens the door where all roads end,
or run they east or west,
And child and man and a child again 90
in and are at rest.
