The Babies Were Mixed.

and the other a girl. The doctor
put both same cradle
and no questions were asked by
the mothers. When the doctor
palled Sunday to see how bis

which was Mrs. Norton's
which was Mis. Foster's. The
astonished racked his

admitted that in the con

and she will start her family with
the boy- Although the matter
has thus been settled, the moth-

the right child. Mrs. Foster was
sent for Saturday morning by her
mother, who did not know her
daughter, like herself, was in a
delicate condition- The journey

The last few days of warm weather

successful business management a
farm requires- more careful judgment
and the exercise of more hard down
common sense than any other
in which man can engage, and it is
an account cf the lack of this that the
profession has been dragged down to its
present standard. And then, too,
failures in other professions are
dumped into tho agricultural
the last on earth, to which they should
go, and as a matter of fact having been
failures at everything else they make
an ignominious one here.
Our when we stalled to
write this article was to show to our
readers the superior advantages that
we possess as on agricultural people in
the eyes of strangers who come among
us, and that while we are to-day not
getting as much for the fruits of our
labor as we arc justly entitled to, ye
after all we are a great deal better
of than many of our less
friends in the bleak j and frigid
States of the North and West, where
on account of climatic conditions it is
almost impossible to get in more than
eight months work in the year. Down
here in eastern North Carolina we have
a mild, genial climate that is not so
bitterly cold in winter that outdoor
work cannot be done the year around.
Here on the average land we can gr
almost every variety of crop at about
half the expense that the same would
cost in the Northern States, and while
in many instances our lands have run
down yet under skillful management in
a short while their fertility can be re-
placed. And last, but by no means
least, we have with us the native born
the best laborer by
any other in the world, when prop-
treated, to help us in our
pursuits. With these advantages
that we possess, under prudent
management does it not seem that
we should get the full benefit of the
opportunity that is presented.
But as yon treat them, many, many of
them attend the dances to drink and
have a glorious time generally. Without

EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Has Advantages Over All Other
Farming Sections.
HT O. L.
During the List two or three months
there have been quite a number of
strangers to our town and it has been
our pleasure to talk with a good many
of them. Almost without exception
they have marveled at the superior
quality of our bright tobacco. Until
very recently, and in fact now there
are a many people that think the
chief products of the eastern section
of our State are tar, pitch,
and a cotton, the bright to-
belt of the State has been heralded
to the world as lying in that section
which is traversed by the Sea Board
Air Line railroad, when in point
the best bright tobacco producing belt
in the world lies along the At-
Line system of eastern
North Care lira. These people that
have passed through here from the
North say the farmers of eastern North
Carolina have a mint almost-in the
proper production of bright tobacco and
yet the most of our people think, and
they do, have a hard time making any-
thing out of tobacco. If our
could take a prospective trip through
the. agricultural fields of New England
note the extreme advantages under
which the people up have to
labor in comparison with the many ad-
that the people of the South
and especially eastern North Carolina
have, it would be an incentive to our
people to come back home live
more contented and utilize our
in a more profitable way. We
arc fully aware of the fret that
A Young Man Gives Some Good Ad-

Mk. you please
allow me a short space in your valuable
paper, not to express my views upon
political matters, but to the young
men of our country of taking social
drinks. The writer is a young man,
and with experience, and he knows the
evil of social drinks. He knows that
in the end it will bring trouble to
every home. Only a few days ago I
was standing upon our streets talking
to two aged gentlemen, one of them
had two of bis little boys standing by
his side and he looked across the street
and saw two young men coming out of
a bar and remarked that he wanted to
see whiskey taken out the country.

account of my little Placing

Step by step you are coining behind

poor fallen men give to their wives and

able to get home, and she cannot sleep
until he comes.

many of you make the life of some

The young ladies are responsible to a
certain extent for drinking and they
