WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN.
What is a gentleman Is it a thing
Docked with a scarf-pin, chain, a
ring,
Dressed in a suit of immaculate style,
Sorting an eve glass, a lisp a smile,
Talking of operas, concerts and balls,
assemblies, and afternoon Kills,
Sunning himself and
bazaars,
and smoking

Boasting of conquest and deeds he has
done
One who to speak
Things which should call up a blush to
his cheek
One who. while railing at things

Scorns to steal money, or jewels or
wealth.
Thinks it no crime to take honor by
stealth
What is a gentleman I it not one
Knowing instinctively what lie should
shun.
Speaking no word that can injure or
pain,
Spreading no scandal and deep no
One who knows how to put each at his
ease
Striving instinctively always to please
One who can tell by a glance at your
check
When to silent, and when to speak
What is a gentleman Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he was won
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain the path he has
trod.
Caring not whether his coat may be
old,
Prizing sincerity far above gold,
Hocking not whether his hand may be
hard,
Stretching it boldly to grasp its re-

What is a gentleman Say, is it

Makes a man noble, or adds to his
worth
Is there a family tree to be had
Spreading to conceal what is

Seeking out the man who has God for
his guide
Nothing to blush tor and nothing to
hide ;
Bo he or be he in trade,

MY SWEETHEART.
She is neither short nor tall,
Rather what I think you'd call
Just the size.
And her hands and feet
I'd say ditto and tell
Any lies.
Though her eyes are soft and blue,
They have not the brilliant hue
Of the sky.
Yet when in their depths I look
Like a picture in a book
There am I.
Not so very small her nose is.
Neither are her cheeks like roses, .
Red and white.
And my muse does not embolden
Me to call her golden,
Though might.
Just a village maiden she.
Many ladies that you see
Rank above her.
Men have seldom culled her pretty
I have never thought her witty,
But love her.

There are several gentlemen who
coming to Greenville next
to buy tobacco and they will want
prize houses. If the citizens of Green-
ville, that is the merchants and business
men, had extended the same spirit of
of co-operation to the tobacco men
when they first came to Greenville to es
a tobacco market that Kinston
is offering the of the
tobacco market there, Greenville last
year would have sold seven and a halt
million pounds.
There is a good deal of inquiry
made just now as to the probable acre-
age at will be planted in tobacco in
Eastern North Carolina this year as
compared with las. Just at present no
one can tell how much the increase will
be. That will largely upon
several conditions. First, if cotton con-
at a fair price the planting
season, the probability is there will be
increased acreage in cotton and hence
a decrease the acreage
in tobacco. If the price of tobacco on
an average last year had compared fa-
with the year previous then I
do not believe that many farmers would
have decreased their crops, but as many
them contend that their tobacco did
not sell for as much this year as it d
last, there are numbers who will cur-
tail considerably and the important idea
in this decrease is this. The decrease
will be made principally by the larger
farmers who have been planting from
to while the increase will
be made by the farmers principally who
plant from to acres.

One drawback to tobacco
growers of the South is the fail
rule, to use sufficient
fertilizers to get best returns
from their crops. In past

successful in tobacco growing are
those who are not afraid to give
their lands just what they require-

The component elements of fer-

sinking the well as deep as desired a

in the well by draining the v liter from

in the well that it overflows and the
pipe conies into play by taking off the

persons present. He said if the

There little change to record in

A great many women in this world
who fancy themselves good cooks spoil
every bit of food that they prepare, ex-
perhaps, hard-boiled eggs and
baked potatoes. They are careless and
indifferent. If a recipe calls for more
than they happen to have they
it up with water; if they do not happen
to have the herbs and seasonings for the
turkey stuffing, they do not bother to
go or to the grocer's for them
just leave them out. They cut down
the amount of butter that a recipe
for because is expensive, and the
result of these little economies and
carelessnesses is that the food is flavor-
less, spiritless and to the
palate. Really, they waste a good deal
because the food, not being especially
good, is not all eaten, and some must
be thrown away. Generally, economy
is excellent, but not economy of that
kind.
When particular baking is receiving
attention and several unfamiliar dishes
are being manufactured, it is of special
importance to have the oven in per-
condition, as far as possible
under the control of the cook. The best

wife, are tricky sometimes, and bear
watching. Nearly each one has its pet
peculiarity. A tendency to burn at the
bottom, or a habit of scorching at the
