want a fight they have only to atiack

It was a display of more pueri-+

in the personal column of the

tobacco was too high for him
here, carrying out their spirit of
merriment the item was printed
accordingly, without knowing or
caring what tne party was going
to Kinston for, or whether he had
ever been there before.

However, this ebnuilition on the
part ofthe Free Press goes to
show that as Greenville has the
best tobacco market in Eastern
Carolina it is envied by the small
er markets and they seem to de~
iigbt in an opportunity to show
their spleen. But Greenville has
built up its business strictly on

The trade expects that the re

on the 10th of October, will show
a sharp decrease in the condition
of the crop during the month of
September and many are este

LEAD ME ALONG THE HEAV-
ENLY WAY.

 

BY MES M. A. KIDDER.

 

If I should leave the foid—

If I should go astray—

Oh ! gentle Shepherd, lead me back
Along the heavenly way.

Earth’s beauty is so fair,
Earth’s music is so sweet.
In many wild forbidden paths,

They tempt iny restiess feet.

I step aside to pluck
The gaudy way-side flowets,
And so fc rget the blossoms bright
That grow ir Eden's bowers.

I bend my ear to hear
The songs of earthly love,
And so forget the golden harps
And choristers above.

Oh! gentle, loving Friend,
Oh ! Shepherd, kind and true,
I know thy care will never cease,
My long, long jurney thiougb.

Thou att so tender, Lor.!,
Yo all thy waudering flock,
Oh, guide Thou me, the least, and place
My feet npon the Rock!

Spare the Young Trees.

There has been, it is said, a de~
cided improvement lately in the
metnods of getting out timber ijn
the forest regions of the White
mountaias of New Hampshire.
The lumbermen there are begin-
ning to realize that it is very un—
wise to cut off the young treet
along with those of mature growth,
and that great care should be
taken in felling, so that whena
tree talls it will do as little dam—

lage as possible to the young

growth. .

It would be wellfor those in
other Sates engaged in cutting
timber to study the methods of
the New Hampshire lumbermen.
For the most part, lumbering ib
this country has become a process
of absolute denudation of the
forest lands. Neither the axemen
nor the owners of the forests take
thought of the morrow. The
woodinan spares no tree “that
there is any lumber in, no matter
how smallthe amount. No ac—
count seems to be taken of the
fact that the destruction of
the young growtl 1s the destruc-
tion ofthe seed-corn of the for-—
est, and that if this growth were
permitted to stania few years.
and reach maturity, its lumber -
producing value would enhance
many fold.—Riehmond Vispatch.
