A preacher who was crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for rest handed
him text he thought safe, The way
OF the transgressor is hard"
Friends" said the preacher. there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First. the transgressor.
Second. his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third.
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given. but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
1t is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
Il is right or wrong. Not will | save
money, but is it just? Not is 1t more
convenient. but is it fair? Not
whether is it good business, but
whether 1t is good morals?
| FOI NOu anu chN 49, NN-
world is coming to know. that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And a man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in gettint
il.
II is right TO spend our money witt
the home town and wrong to send 1
away because we are under obliga
tons to the home town, but not t
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is I'm
der financial obligations to the town
Tor course the town is also indebte
to the country, but the town canno
help but pay It's debt, its very exis
ence does that. Hence we are merel
discussing the country side of the OF
legation.

There during the winter lecture

you send your children, and there
after awhile your daughter will teach.
And some day when you find the
farm work too heavy for your age. and
want to get near the children, you VIII

move to town.
Yes. the town is a mighty good
thing to have, a pleasant thing; and
the more you put into 1t the more you
get out OF IT, For II grows according
TO the trade Il gets and the more II
grows the more It can buy and the
higher will go your land.
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why Il is right that the country peo
ple spend their money at home Is thu
moral obligation.
The town is yours. yours to ruin o.

| Highland Scot to spend his blood 10

The country town with all its fault
is the best governed most, enligh

in American civilization. 1t is a goo

Find 200 acres of good land almost
anywhere that is 20 miles from town
and you can buy it for $25 an acre.
The same land within ten miles VIII
bring $35, within five miles its value
is $50. within two sliles $SJ an acre.
Thus that town has increased the
land within a radius of ten miles an
average of $35 dollars an acre. AS
that is about the age of country towns
generally, you may figure that town
as long as il is fairly prosperous, In
creases the land around II an average
of one dollar an acre every year
Not considering staple articles like
cattle. hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway. the town as
local market is worth at least 40
year to the ordinary farmer.
For example: This year the peach
markets we're so glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. AROUND
the little town in which the writer
lives most farmers have few peach
trees. The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at
from 40 cents to dollar busheL
More than $4,000 was paid for peaches
within three weeks.
That was clear gain which must be
set over TO the credit OF the town.

reach of town, he will receive 1913
wear direct cash value from that
town. none of which he would receive
from the mail order house.
To be sure. the town does not do

NOT built for the purpose OF philan'

benefit because the town is there; and
he is under actual financial obliga

MARY CARSON KIDD.

The Glee Club is certainly TO be
congratulated in securing Miss
Mary Carson Kidd for an engage
ment here, and the lovers of music
may well look forward to the great
est treat. II may safely be assert
cd that never before has a singer OF
such note been heard here OH the
campus. Goldmark, the distin-
guished lecturer on music, says of
Miss Kids voice: "She has the
richest notes ever heard from a
coloratura soprano" This is suf-
ficient guarantee, but the verdict of
the students of the University Of
Virginia will appeal more strongly
perhaps TO ms here. The College
Topics, of that institution, on Dec
ember Is, 1905, said;
The Arcadians lived up to their
usual reputation, so far as the
quality of their entertainments
goes, when they presented Miss
Mary Carson Kidd, last Friday,
before an enthusiastic audience as
sembled in Madison Hall. Prob
ably never before has an entertain
ment been given here that received
such universal praise, and never
before has a singer equal to Miss
Mary Carson-Kidd been heard by a
gathering at the university. Her
voice was sweet and clear, and her
range remarkable. In fact, from
the time she appeared until the
end. she was encored after every
selection, and held her hearers un-
divided attention.
Concerning the concert in Hous-
ton on the 4th proximo the Hous
ton Post of January a7th has the
following to say:
Preparation for Miss Mary Car
som Kids song recital on the
evening oil February 4 at the Hous-
ton theater presages an unusually
brilliant and popular event which
will be as important socially as It IS
unsteady.
Miss Kids popularity in Hous-
ton and the prominence OF the pro-
motors of the entertainment would
insure splendid success, and when
the artistic merit Of the recital is
considered il is safe to predict the
theatre will be crowded with the
friends and admirers OF the artist.
