PAEB. @1,50- W e u Dealer ii l r Have you ever thought how many hours out of every week can be saved for yourself, your family and vour teams by the assistance of the telephone? if two you ever calculated the minutes that can bo gained in case .of sickness or business emergencies? Have yon ever thought of the dollars that you might gain were you only in close touch with markets? Can you conceive the pleasure to be derived from having in your home means of i mined into com munication with relat ions, neigh bors or friends., though situated mi 1(33 away? The telephone will pay for it self by getting better market prices. It will save several dollars every month by avoiding needless trips to town. It will deliver and receive tele grams and important messages immediately and without extra expense. It will keep you informed on weather predictions. It will order repairs instantly when machines breakdown. It will do the visiting and make social calls without the trouble of “dressing up” and making a dusty, sultry or freezing ride. It will get a doctor on a mo nvent’s notice, and maybe save a loved one’s life. It will get election returns as soon as they are in. It will keep away insolent tramps and prowling burglaVs. It will keep the boys on the farm, and also the daughters. It will make homo happier, brighter and better and more de lightful in a thousand different ways. Progressive farmers throughout the country are installing tele phones in their homes, and in the near future every agriculturist will have a direct means of com munication with the outside world. —Charlottesville Chronicle. A Sad Love Story. An old New England farmer’s wife lay dying after seventy years of life and fifty years of steady drudgery as housekeeper and mother. As the end grew visibly near the husband stooped to her ear, the tears forcing their way from his eyes and down his rug ged checks. “Goo.l bye, Hannah 1 You have always been a good wife to me!” came with a struggling sob. The glazed eyes opened; the numb hand raised with a rebuke ful gesture. j “Then, why, in the name of ! mercy, didn’t you tell me so be- j fore now.” The whisper was her last breath. I All! my brothers! ■» 1 ell the faith- ! ful, brave, overworked wives the I blessed truth before the tonic j comes too late to brace the spirit j and tide nervous forces over the | sandbars that ridge the channel j of week day toil. — Baptist Ex- I change.

A peculiar deed lias been filed at CartcrsviMe in which Kev. W. II. Kerr transfers a tract of farm land to “God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Ghost for many mercies received in hand, paid receipt whereof is hereby I Acknowledged,” 011 coudif-ion that tile farm is to lie used for an or- 1 phans’ homo to be known as the J “Kerr Orphans’ Home,” and that the Kev. Mr. Kerr and his family are to be the Lord’s trustrecs and that the land is still to bo liable for Kerr's debts. The reason for j this peculiar deed, it is said, has j just been revealed by a suit tiled j by an uged couple of the name of 1 Cochran, members of Kerr’s eon- j gregation, who charge that he de- I frauded them out of the land in |.exchange for a stock of goods i which he said was worth much | more than its true value, and that ! they were led into the trade by ' their confidence in Kerr. 'They ask to have the trade set aside and j the land restored to them. In i the bill filed by the Cochrans it is charged that Kerr had 110 inten tion of devoting the land to the service of God, hut that lie made the deed simply to protect him self from the results of the fraud General Merchandise.

Mix with an unlimited amount of the best quality of thought. It is impossible for a woman to talk all the time with out saying a lot of tilings that she shouldn’t or without proving a jol ly bore to everybody about her. This tattling habit is not confined entirely to women, though. Some moil have the affliction terrible. Sometimes it’s wheat, sometimes it’s chess, sometimes it’s baseball. A steady diet of one kind conver sation is always tiresome. Take a nibble of this and a nibble of that, and your chatter will lie more interesting, porticnlai ly if there are plenty of rests between nibbles. Talking improves when there’s silence by way of contrast. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Editor’s Mishaps. We are suffering from a broken leg and we have been criticised by gumheads for not saving it when we could a done so, but any gen tleman will understand our posi tion. It was this way: We was riding in a horseless carriage, drawn b3 r a mule, with a jug of ten-year-old liquor by our side. We came to a hog wallow into which the wheels on one side dip ped and the buggy was overturned throwing us out,, Our right leg caught in the spokes of the wheel and we could have drawn it out, but the jug was there in jeopardy, also, and had we saved our leg we would have sacrificed the jug. We saved the jug, and we did right. Anyhow, our leg was broken only in two places.— Hardeman (Term) Free Press. The Largest Pear Tree.

Do you read your own paper?” “Occasionally. ” “Did you rend my poem, ‘To Agatha,’ in yesterday’s issue?” “N—no,” “1 thought not. In the poem 1 wrote a line which read, ‘1 love you better than 1 love my life.’ ” “That was a neat line.” “And one of your linotype humorists made it read, ‘1 love you better than I love my wife.’ ” “Er ” “Exactly—my wife. And my wife, not being acquainted with the failing on these key thumpers, thinks the poem was printed ex* actly as it was written.” For A Model Village. A dispatch from Asheville says that Mr. Geo. W. Vanderbilt is to establish a railroad station and a model village between Hendersons villeand Brevard, about 30 miles from Asheville. N. C., at a cost of $1,000,000. Mr. Vanderbilt owns many acres of timber land around the proposed village, and further to the cast, toward Mount Pisgah, are his great hunting preserves of 80,000 acres.

Mr. Vanderbilt has expended approxi mately $10,000,000 in Western Carolina, and in Buncombe coun ty lie pays taxes on something like $1,800,000. A Sure Remedy. The humorist Marshal 1*.

This will be up - propriate, for the reason that my wife is a doctor's daughter, and 1 thought seriously of studying mods icine in my youth. “There was an Irishman who rushed late one night to a doctor’s house in great haste and terror, lie rang the doctor out of bed, Hnd he said ncraly weeping: “Doctor dear, my little son Pat has swallowed a mouse. What in the world is to tic done?” “Swalloweda mouse, has he?,’ said the doctor gruffly. “Well go back home and tell him to swallow a cat.” CITY DIRECTORY KUJTillJOli COURT. 3rd Mondays in Api il and Octo ber.
