THE ART OF ELOCUTION.

The noble songs of noble deeds ol
 bravery or glory Are much enhanced if they're de-
 claimed with stirring oratory. I love sonorous words that roll like
 pillows OCT the seas; These I recite like Cicero or like De-
 moSthenes. And so, from every poem what is
 worthy I select; I use the phrases I like best, the oth-
 CTS I reject; And thus, I claim. that I have found
 the logical solution Of difficulties that attend the art Of
 elocution. Whence come these shrieks so wild and shrill? Across the sands O Dee Lo, I will stand at thy right hand ana

Like some sad child sent supperless
 to bed, Unsa tisfied I sleep among the dead; For at the feast of Life I sat all day, And saw the shadowy shapes that
 serve it lay Before each waiting guest beside me

 tient smile, Telling myself that in a little while Surely the Host my empty plate
 would see, And send some portion of the feast
 to me. None came. and smiling still lest men

THE DIAMOND

The diamond is the hardest sub- stance known. It is number 10 in a scale of hardness extending from 1 to 1O.. Diamonds are found chiefly fin India, Brazil and South Africa, the latter country supplying most of gems used at the present day.
 The mere mention of the word dia- mOnd brings to mind ideas of some thing that has ever been most valu- able. It possesses. in an unusual de- gree, the power to reflect and dis perse rays of light which is the cause of its beautiful brilliancy and allur- ing play of color.
 The care which we use in selecting diamonds makes 1t impossible for you to purchase a stone which will not be financially advantageous to you as we'll as a thing of beauty.

Order of Board Of Health.

To All Teachers, Parents, Commit
teemen and School Children
Smallpox is rapidly spreading over
the county and State and unless
checked our homes will be filled with
this dire disease.
The Board OF Health OF Vance
county, in its efforts to protect the
children of the county, have passed
the following resolution:
"NO child shall enter the public
schools of Vance county who does
not present to his teacher a certifi-
cate of immunity from smallpox,
either through recent vaccination or
previous attack of the disease"
Section 23, Chapter 81, of Public
Laws, says:
''lf any parent, guardian, school
committee, principal or teacher shall
permit child to violate such q re-
quireHent of the aforesaid authori-
ties he shall be guilty of Ii misde-
meanOr, and fined not less than ten
dollars nor more than fifty dollars. .
The vaccine points can be gotten
from any druggist. The chairman
OF the county commissioners has
been asked to order 1000 to be fur
nished free. The doctors of the
county have kindly offered their ser
vices and there remains no excuse
why a parent should allow a child to
run the risk longer.

Lines composed for the Presentation Ser
vices OF the Cemetery Gate August
1911, by Rev. II. NJ. Andrews)
As tribute of love we now present thi,
gate,
To the glory OF God and the memory O
all them
Who rest within these sacred grounds +,
wait
The call OF God-the resurrection hymn
And may their rest be sweet wei ne'er for
get the place
While love rnles DER the human heart our
laboring arms
Shall keep their graves green as the memory
OF that face
Though lost so long. still beams with all
its former charms.
Els thus well stay the marching minions
of the years,
That sweep like hordes over their graves
so swiftly,
They count not half the cost of bitter tears.
We shed when here we laid them down so
gently.
May angels ever guard their sainted spirits,
And loved ones guard their mortal dust
For God. the sainted soul in death inherits,
While earth keeps faithful too her every
trust.
Rest in peace departed neighbor, brother,
friend,
God keep thy soul in quiet rest forever,
Mhere thy dust lies thy loved ones now at
tent
Rest in peace, rest in peace, OH friend for
ever.

Fashionable Gambling.

j. A. Stradley, in Oxford Banner.
Drinking whiskey, card playing,
theatre going, dancing, dishonesty
and gambling are all common but
popular vices that are undermining
characters and wrecking homes and
lives. Gambling is classed among
the worst of vices and all civilized
countries forbid it by law. No place
Is considered more corrupt and ruin
GUS than a gambling den. These,
with houses of ilf-fame, are the low
est depths of degradation.
But where do young men learn to
gamble? Not with professionalgam-
blers. No young man with two grains
: sense would stake his money in
game with professional gamblers as
he knows he would be beaten every
time. He knows he must learn the
use of cards before he stakes money
on a game. But where can men
learn to be expert players? The
most fascinating opportunities are
afforded them. The most
"society" ladies oftowns
and communities have frequent card
parties at their homes where gentle
men and ladies meet and spend hours
OF hard study to learn how to play
cards and win prizes. Many OF them
become the shrewdest of card play
ers. What is gambling but card
playing? What is the difference in
playing for gold cups, spoons, etc,
and playing fer money? Can any
one show any difference?
Many young men become expert
gamblers in these fashionable card
parties, and then they feel they can
try their hand with professional gam
blers and thus they enter the road to
utter ruin having been started by
the fashionable card party.
1t is sad, supremely sad, that chris
tian homes, and SO many of them
too, are being used as schools where
the foundation principles of gam
bling are taught. Is there nothing
better in this large world for Chris
tians to do?
Worldliness is sapping the life
blood of Christianity and Christ is
betrayed in the house OF his friends.

George Barr McCutcheon's popular
romance, "Graustark," in play form
will be presented at the Grand Thea
ire Friday night, September 22nd.
This attraction comes here with the
stamp OF approval of New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg and other cities.
1t is romantic drama of the latest
pattern, embracing love episodes,
thrilling situations and startling
climaxes, with a pure vein of delight
full humor interviewer in it's marvel
lous plot. Mr.. McCutcheon's style
is somewhat different from that of
other authors; he is distinctly origi-
nal using methods and phraseology
that are all his own, therefore, his
stories are always interesting and
refreshing. "Graustark" is the book
that made him famous and is con-
sidered his masterpiece and it is safe
to assert that it is the most widely
