L- McLaurin, in the vicinity of Floydale. We came ^ down by the way of RowLand, N. C., p into the noted cotton valley section i< I where I spent a most pleasant week Cl among kindred there, my first intro- j Auction to that section of our county, p [Here I found a beautiful country, 0 | fine farms, nice up to date homes and p splendid, progressive citizenry. An r jair of thrift and prosperity was un: iversally in evidence and the farm- p 'ers busily engaged in planting crops it and transplanting tobacco. n The acreage in cotton and tobacco, d 'also the use of fej^ilizers will be n (materially reduced" in that section i( ! tl.is season, and food and forage Ic.ops are receiving due attention. n I Leaving cotton valley on Saturday i a. m. the 2nd of April, we journeyed p thither through a section of Dillon h county entirely new to nie, crossing the Little Pee Dee over the Dilloih 'bridge, the finest crossing I have a ever found on that river, built of b concrete and in sharp contrast to the i deiapidated Mclnnis' bridge spanning g the river near our home. From cotton t I valley on down and throughout this neighborhood, I have been impressed with the beauty of broad fields of magnificent oats, giving promise of a rich harvest. This a. m. we founu that _ a considerable frost had fallen during the night, which will doubtless prove injurious to some of the more tender garden plants but I hope the a fruit may escape damage. v "Up home" our farmers will try 'e scme diversification this season. The e canteloupe and melon industry wiN g figure to a considerable extent. Fot seme years past, they have grown tlTte former with success and occasionally at good profit, but the rharket la un- > certain and the fluctuating, which renders this industry an unreliable Investment. But the time le at handl when we shall have to wean ourselves away from the autocratic reign of King cotton and develop other resources and products to which our God given climate and noil are so fittingly adapted. We rak'se no tobacco in upper Robeson; i4 has been tried in a few instance^, producing a good grade, but too fay off from the markets, and was soon abandoned. I hear of no local news fin this vicinity.

Rev. Mr. Bailey"Aunt Becky." o A Box of Crackers. A short story by Dora Bell McLeod) Henry wanted a dollar. He wanted : because Rlngling Bros. Circus rould be in town tomorrow. The [ckets were fifty cents a piece, but f course one, the most important 'as wanted for Helen. It used to be hat Henry thought nothing of Helen, he was just "the girl that lived cross the street". Then an accident appened right in front of Henry's >es. He ran to her, she was doing er best not to cry. Henry saw all Kio ~ ? J i * auU ner not to cry. It as what he told her then as h^ was iking her home that put him sadly in need of a dollar. "Don't cry, Helen, please don't; if ou won't why I'll? I'll? I*T1 take ou to the circus when it comes, loss my heart I will. Don't cry, lease don't" was the way Henry put Since'that day three weeks ago, it semed to Henry that all the nickles nd dimes had gone to the war and ad got killed for they had certainr gone somewhere. Henry's parents auld not afford to pay him now for ie little errands he would do. It was raining pitch forks the torning of the day before the circus, uddenly Henry thought of Mr. Naisco, the grocery man. He slipped on is overshoes, raincoat, and hat and tarted to see Mr. Nabisco for a job. ery soon he was at the store. When e arrived Mr. Nabisco was talking ery loudly to some one on the phone. "A box of Uneeda Crackers," Mr. fflhison ornlo^nn/1 A ~ iTiijr, an , 1 u naie J send a duck out in this f*in." "Please, Mr. Nabisco" said Henry, 11 take them for you, I don't mind tie rain." Mr. Nabisco didn't want to it Henry got at first, but in the end e did go. He told himself the job uestion could wait till he got back, re took them, as directed, down the Lreet fdur blocks and the first door j the left- This door had a sign over "Mr. Antony White." Henry rang the door bell. He was olding the crackers under his arm, ith his hands in his pockets. "Wait there, young man, right here you are. Don't move a step,'" lid Mr. White as he opened the' door. Henry felt a little afraid, but he tood still. In a minute the man was t the door with an easel, a square ( canvass, and his paints. Then he egan to sketch upon the canvass. he picture was a picture of Henry nd the crackers. . "Young man, I'm not crazy, alhough you might . think I am, but '111 an artist. This morning I got a itter from the man that makes those rackers, and he asked me to paint im a picture for an advertisement, fe said he would pay me a big sum f money for the right kind of picure. I believe this is the picture that e will want". Mr. White put 011 the finishing ouclies. Henry knew that he had ihertnis task and he became very ervous. Mr. White slipped a new one ollar bill into Henry's hands. Henry luttered to himself, "Well this dolir bill is for Helen and me." The next day Helen and Henry sat o the very front row of Ringling Iros. Circus, and no other two peoie enjoyed the stunts as much as the right, cheerful little couple. o This month marks the sixty-ninth nniversary of the publication in ook form of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

Fresh eggs t properly preserved may be kept s jfrcm 8 to 12 months in good condi- c Mon. Egg laid in April, May and <ear- c fy June will keep better than those s laid later in the season. s To obtain satisfactory results, the C eggs should be fresh and clean and I if possible, infertile- Do not use eggs c . that float when placed in the solu-. tic-n. They are not fresh. When an egg shows only a slight soil, a cloth dampened with vinegar can be usedOne should never preserve badly 1 soiled eggs. If placed in the jar while & soiled they will spoil, and washing ( removes a protective coating which a prevents spoiling. E The water glass method for pre- V serving eggs _is a most satisfactory i one. Select a 5 gallon crock or jar c and clean it thoroughly, after which a ii should be scalded and allowed to c dry. Heat a quantity of watftr to \ the boiling point and let cool. When a Iccol measure out 9 quarts of water, t p'ace it in the crock, and add 1 t quart of water glass, stirring the \ mixture thoroughly. Then the eggs t may be lowered into the solution with a spoon. Eggs may be added ( from time to time. At least twi^ inches of the solution should cover the eggs. After the eggs have been remov. ed, the mixture should not be used i again. Fifteen dozen eggs can be t preserved in jhis amount of liquid. ' s The jar containing the egg should be < placed in a cool dry place. Cover e well to prevent evaporation. '. v When water glass eggs are to be broiled, a small hole shold be made in the shell with a pip at the large end before placing them in the water. This is done to allow the air in ( the egg to escape when heated so J < as to prevent cracking. I ] What Shall I Spend for Different ?
