A few days ago while the children of the late William Collins, of Greensboro, were searching through an old trunk they accidentally found secreted therein $1,500 in gold. In the pocket of an old Vest they found $ho. The whereabouts of little Kenneth Deaslcy Etill remains a deep mystery. During the recent trial of Joshua Harrison, charged, with kinnapping the child, theVeport was current that the lad had been seen in Kansas. Senator Beasley has returned from a fruitless search for his child.

Rather than have a carnival company to open up in the town the board of aldermen and business men of High Point came together and donated five hundred dollars to their fire department. The average carnival always stagnates business and demoralizes the towns entertaining them. The directors of the State institution for the blind are "making preparations for an elaborate exhibit of, the achool'g work at the Jamestown Exposition, to include a large class of the children to be regularly instructed there as an exemplification of the "work" done in such institutions'. A pathetic death scene was witness ed in High Point last Saturday when Mrs. J.

G. Lawson and her six-months old baby lay dead in their home. The child died only a few hours in advance of the mother and both were resting in one coffin, the babe resting on the bosom of the mother that had fondly nursed it. On Monday night of last week Mr. Nathaniel Macon, of Franklin county, died at the age of 74 years.

Some months prior to his death Mr. Macon went, to Louisburg, selected and purchased his own coffin and. carried it home, with him depositing it in his room, where it remained until his death. B. N.

Duke, president of the to bacco trust, has given $100,000 to ward the of a $130,000 church at Durham. More correctly it might be stated, the tobacco grow ers of North Carolina and Virginia have iriven the amount, having been robbed of thrice the amount by the trust during the past year or two. Miss Jessie Ball, who had been teaching at the deaf and dumb school at Morganton for several ears, and was very popular as well as efficient in that institution, committed suicide several days ago by drinking carbolic acid. The deceased was originally from Detroit, Michigan, to which place the remains, were sent for interment.

We read a most delightful little story in the Literary Digest, about a girl who had grumbled at her task as drudgery; she was much dissatisfied with her lot and work.

It was her good fortune to be sent to a training school, where she was taught the reasons for the duties she was called upon to perform, and was trained to do them quickly and thoroughly. On her return to her post, she was asked by some one, "how she like her work? She replied "I like it very much, now that I know how." We will not have so much complaint of our best boys leaving the farm when our agricultural schools shall have trained them, so that they will know how to farm in the very best manner. There is new interest and ze3t aded to the commonest work when one thoroughly learns the "know how," to do it. Even our adult farmers, who are now struggling to learn better methods they too, will become more deeply in love with farming in proportion as they "know how" to do it better. In growing two bales of cotton per acre in making 100 bushels of corn to the acre in growing grain, grasses or any new crop, in raising-cattle, hogs or poultry, in averting failure and winning success-it is all summed up in the "Now that I know how." Many farmers still have no inclination to read their agricultural papers, others persuade themselves they haven't got any time to read any" all certainly have our congratulations who do not need to learn more of "Now that I know how." The Southern Cultivator.

Should Correct Th IvlU. Woman, cant you see? You caught your husband with honey and you cannot hold him with vinegar. The outside of the house is the only side which in truth belongs to a henpecked husband. They take to the outside so speedily when there is unpleasantness within, that any woman with only a little thought and observation may know what will come of trying to train, a husband as she would a fractious school boy. Whatever he may be, for the home sake, she is obliged to keep sweet.

We have seen women who apparently enjoyed scolding their husbands in the presence of others, and we have seen mothers 5 who indiscreetly punish their children before visitors, thus hu; miliating the dear wayward ones and making them feel that their reputations were, so damaged that there was no use in trying to be good. But such women are not the. mistresses of those homes where the household machinery glides ori with hoiseless ease; without forceor effect seeming to-be- required to move it alotig. They cannot create the sunny, cheerful firesides that hlen love better than all. the world besides; and the memory of which children tenderly cling to as long as life lasts.

True Accomplishments. Did you ever know a woman to regret that she knew how to do "exquisitely fine needle or plain sewing, to bake light, wholesome bread, or delicious pies or cake3? Did you ever know one who was ashamed of her skill in pickling and preserving, or who was unwilling to admit that she could arrange a table, order a course and if need be, do the cooking herself -No, indeed, but many a woman has spent year a in trying to acquire the. knowledge of, household affairs of which she should have been mistress before she was irly in long The mother who aiii to instruct her daughter in such branches defrauds her of woman's best right, the right to a know-' 1 3 of how to make a home. Per-; a home for herself but, oh, 1 1 i iiit it caa le if t' grnoe rf a It The Concord Times this week makes the suggestion that every farmer place his name and the name of hS farm on his road gate. "Not only would persons driving to a place the more easily find it," says The Times, "but it would add more pleasure and interest to people driv ing from place to place.

This last result would have special effect with regard to well kept and pretty houses. An observing person will seldom pass a beautiful farm without desiring to know who is its enterprising owner." That is the idea for the modern rural home. The Mecklenburg farmers have paid more attention in the past twelve months to beautifying their homes and making their surroundings attractive than ever before. In most cases, the name on the rural delivery box indicates the owner of the farm, but in other cases, the farm itself bears a name, the houses and fences are painted, there-are flowers bordering the road and the walk to the house passes through well-kept lawns. At some convenient corner in the house is the telephone.

The farmer can know the state of the market before he loads his cotton to bring it to town, and his wife and daughters can keep up, with the gossip of both county and city. The country home, and life in the country is quite different from what it was a few years ago. Charlotte Chronicle. Will Test Tho Act. The rumor is sent out from Raleigh that the railroads of the State will test the validity of the act of the recent legislature reducing pas senger fares to 2 1-4 cents.

The railroads may know their own busi ness, but we believe it is bad policy to continue a further fight in this matter. Even if they could prevent the act becoming operative for the time being, it would only make the next legislature more determined in passing a law to reach the railroads, and the rate might be made lower than under the present law. It would be better to stop the agitation and give the law a fair trial so that the railroads and people may both see if it is advantageous. The Reflector all along been of the opinion that if the railroads had accepted the Laughinghouse 2 1-2 cent bill in the legislature of 1905, there would not have been a passenger reduction bill considered by the legislature of 1907. Reflector.

Best Way to Cot On. A young man once wrote the celebrated Thomas Carlyle, asking his advise about the best way to get on. The following was thequaint answer: "Study "to do faithfully whatsoever thiug in your actual situation you find either expressly or tactily, laid to your charge. That is your post; stand in it like a soldier. Silently devour the many chagrins of it, as all human 'situation have many, and see that you aim not to quit it without doing all that it at least requires of A man perfects himself by Work much more than by reading They area growing kind of menthaj can wisely combine the two things wisely, valiantly, can do what is laid to their hands in their present sphere, and prepare themselves withal for doing' other wider thing3 if such be before them.

"I tell Michael," said the priest, "whiskey is your worst enemy, and you should keep aftfar away from it as you can." "Me enemy it is, farther?" re sponded "And it was your riverence's self that was tellin' us in the pulpit only last- Sunday to love our enemies."

Through President Roosevelt the Attorney General has given out an opinion that concerns bottling whiskey. Pure whiskey shall be so labeled and all blends and compounds shall also be labeled as such.

A judge in South Dakota a few days ago ordered the Great Northern railroad depot at Churche's Ferry closed for one year, because it permitted the storage of beer in violation of the prohibition laws. Spain continues to have internal troubles. Ever and. anon some subject creates excitement and destruction by hurling bombs among the dignitaries and there is a feeling of unsafety among the populace. A great fleet of American warships are assembling in Hampton Roads to participate in tha imposing ceremonies incident to the formal opening of the Jamestown Exposition, which takes place on; the 28th of this month.

The worst wreck in the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway occurred a few days ago, resulting in the death of more than a dozen people and the injury of many others, Most of the deadjwere cremated in the burning cars or drowned in a small lake into which the train plunged. A great famine prevails in Russia and it is estimated that fully twenty million people distributed throughout the southeastern provinces will starve before another harvest unless aid is given by outside agencies.

It seems that all Russia has been in a bad way and conditions continueto grow wprse since the war with Japan. -y At Logansport, H. F. Stough-ton, a farmer was summoned to appear before a commission of lunacy to inquire into his sanity. He became excited at the thought of possibly being sent to a mad house and fell to the floor in a fit of vigorous protests.

When resuscitated he was totally and died a few hours later. The long drawn out trial of Harry Thaw' in New York and which has consumed more than twelve weeks, resulted in a mistrial and will have to be thrashed out again. The jury in the case reported to the court Sunday morning that it was impossible for them to agree, the division standing seven for conviction of murder in the first degree while five were for an acquital on the ground of insanity, Thaw's a torneys are now moving to have him released on bail, which effort is strenuously opposed by the prosecution. umatlsm flakes Life Miser-ale. 7.v ppybome is the most valuable tt.at is within the reach okin 1, but you cannot enjoy its rH if yon are suffering from throw aside busi-i your home i ved (.
