all the Presbyterian ministers in the

church. !
During the session of the synod held
tn Charlotte last year a committee was
appointed O consider the matter of a
Bases division of the territory of the
Synod and making ten instead of eight _
presbyteries, it is believed that the
new division will be preferable to that
of the present, but in making the new
division it Will be necessary to take
?sears things into consideration. j
The last report of the synod shows j
there are in Worth Carolina 217 Pres?
byterian ministers, 463 cfcunhes. four,

Of the 217 ministers who are mem?

"Dixie"
This celebrated vioiinist. who has last mated hi-r audi
eures throughout the country by her flawless playing, has
produced a number of rtX?ttab f"r the Vlctot*.
Her rendition ol "Dixie." the song that is dear to the tj
heart of every Southerner, is superb. The fire and spirit I
of the song, together with its beautiful melody, are brought |
out in masterly manner by the artist. She has caught the I
pervading influence of the BOOK, and the ardor and beauty f
ot her playing are inspiring. The Victor reproductions are B
perfect. f
Come in and hear "Dixie" by Powell on the I
Victor or Victor-Victrola !

brated artists both of the operatic and concert stage. The
best of vaudeville and selections from comic opera, too.

the following tig un s arc Interesting to!
a special degree in this connoition:
During last year the synod gave to
foreign missions. $71.lO. to asminbly's \
mission, S3.078; to lucal home iniss.ons, j
$47,896: to eoljred evanselziation. j

miscellaneous causes, $27,364. making a
total of $274.722 for all causet> lor the !
year, exclusive jf pastors' salaries. J
It is probable that a number of the i
secretaries of the executive commit- j
tees of the General Assembly will be 1
present at Goldsboro and address the ?
synxl In the Interest of the claims et
the church which they represent.
The schools and colleges which are :
conducted under the Ui.-ection of the |
synod will receive special consideration
also, and the report from the educa?
tional institutions, including the Or- 1
phans' Home, are anticipated w ith spe?
cial interest at every meeting- of the :
synod. .
One of the subjects which it is likely
that the synod will < insider at length.
Iii addition to the stated items on the
docket, will be the ;>roblem of the coun?
try church. Then- is much interest in
the extension of the Presbyterian
Chorea in the rttlral districts at tiiis
time, and It Is probable that some facts
and figures of interest and instructive
value will be presented in this con?
nection during the meeting of tKe j
synod in Goldsborx j
It is an interesting fart in connec?
tion with the Synod of North Carolina |
that a large number of churches and
individuals In this synod are repre
scntcd In the foreign mission Heids oi
tile Presbyterian Church because of
the support they give the missionaries

Tho writer has Just received a pair

Bone time ago the writer lead that
tin-re were t-.? dogs in a ceitain.
county in this State. The annoutii enient ?
also staled that the depredations in the
Sheasdolda of this particular county.
were disastrous in the extreme. From |
what the writer could gain from thv .
article above mentioned It Would not ,
be out of place to surmise that at I
least 3.000 of these dogs were worse i
than useless, in fact were a veritable,
nuisance.
A well-bred, well-fed. member of,
the canine species is generally oi
great use to a farmer, serving as a ]
guard at all times, und greatly as- j
sistiug in the replenishing of the?
larder during the legitimate hunting
season.
should Dog* Be Tax eat
It seems only natural that a man
owning a dog of money value should ,
be satished to pay a moderate tax tot j
the pleasure tand profit of owning '
this useful canine friend, and it does '
not look reasonable that there should;
be any kick on the owner's part when
he is asked to pay this small stipend
to his county or State.
There is no doubt of the fact that, j
owing to the topography of the Odd1
Dominion. there is, and will be I
for years to come, a fairly plentiful ?
supply of game, and game of such a
nature that the services of a good dog
will be requisite in the securing of
tlie same. The Virginia farmers, on
tin- whole, are lovers of sport, and |
when the season is in they are ardent;
in the pursuit of the variety of game '
that our woods and fields afford. The *
man that keeps a good dog and takes \
care of it as it should be cared for,
will have a useful servant and a tlrm I
friend, for no animal responds more j
readily to liberal rations and kind;
treatment than the dog.
The Cut Dog >o Good.
It Is the half-starved cur who gener?
ally does the damage, where sheep are ;
destroyed, and the fault is not near so j
much that of the dog as it is that .
I of tho owner, who, In keeping such |
poor specimens of the canine race,
evinces an enUre lack of sporting in?
stincts, and also a thorough disregard .
j for his neighbor property.

j A good sized hunting dog will eat j
I a quart of corn bread per day, maybe,
a little less, not often any more?that
Is if he lives "on bread alone." This j
I "cavn pone" Is good, solid food, will'
keep the grown dog cheerful, satis-:
, fled, and have a wonderful Influence
in making him appreciate his home. |
If you have dogs on the farm who(
wander about, are mischievous and!
predatory, send to mill, have some j
good old Virginia meal ground, then i
feed these roamers all they will cat,!
and they wlU soon abow. by both
their appearance and manners, the at?
tention that you are paying them.
