EDENTON, N.C. Dee. 15th, 133.5 Talk for Your Town. Stick to your town. If it is only a collection of cabins, stand by it and pick out its most at tractive features when speaking of it. Your share of the universe amounts to the place where your days are spent. Your city is the best of all cities, your people the loremostof all people. Taik it, preach it, teach it till the world believes it, and if you are in any way doubtful you will soon get to believing it yourself. Speak up lor your city. No matter where you are, pull for the place where friends are. That is the secret of progress. You can find plenty of objectionable features about any city. Make yourself as nearly oblivious as possible, to the shortcomings of your own. Remember that your people are the people that you know best. As a matter of course you are more familiar with them than you are with those of strain ;ers with whose good points on ly you become acquainted. Paint out the scars wlien you draw a picture of your home folks. L,eave out the blots when you chart your surrounding. If you practice a healthy, apprecia tive sentiment in speaking about your own environments you will soon forget your cynicism and your home will become what it should be, the fairest spot on eirth. Stick to your own city. Make its surroundings the most agrees able, its scenes the most beauti ful, its looation the most admir. able, its resources the nearest inexhaustible, of all the places in the world. Preach it, believe it and im press it upon others. You will be happier by cultivating such spirit of patriotism. Your friends will like you better, your asso ciation will be more agreeable, your work will please you better if you stick to your city and your people. Rome, Ga., Telegram METHODIST CONFERENCE. Rev.

If yon write to any one on yonr own business be sure to enclose a government envelope stamped. It is enough to expect a reply, the person written to furnishing his time, labor, information and writing paper. This is rizht and proper. One letter or one stamp does not amount to much. Hut an hundred letters to be written, the stationery and post age tcr be supplied by the one written to amounts to a great deal. In a year, if an editor, you will probably receive a hundred letters about other people's af fairs, and not even a stamp en closed. It is surely enough to be burdened with the toil of answer ing, without being taxed to do the gratuitous work. It is ass touishing that people do not stop to consider before actinsr this wav.

A Sufferer Cured "Every season, from the time I was two years old, I suffered dread fully from erysipelas, -which kept growing worse until my hands were almost useless. The bones softened so that they would bend, and several of my. fiqgers are now crooked from this cause. On my hand I carry large scars, which, but for AYER'S Sarsaparilla, would be sores, provided I 'was alive and able to carry anything. Eisrht bottles nf Ayes Sarsaparilla cured me, so that I have had no return of the disease for more than twenty years.
