| THs ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL REGISTER or
RURAL AFFAIRS FOR 1915 A!blny: Luther
Tucker 4 SUn.l From the pubishers.l
| An excellent number OF this 81 tlndard annual
| Of rural affairs. As usual, it Is abuadan ly
illustrated, and edited with great care.
| NIRGTNIAHs RUNNING FOR OFsTCB.-Under
| this heading we published a few days since an
| article giving the names OF some Virsipians
| who were candidates for Office under tue new
| dlspeDsation. This seems to have stirred up
| our friends of the Old Dominion coDsderably
and one gentleman (MI. Vensble) has thOaght
| enough of the matter TO publish a C .rd denvihy
that he was running for any position. The
| Norfolk liTginidn OF Thursday has the folloy-
| ing:
"It is pleasant, truly. 10 Virgiuians at large
| that a few broken men should bring oar very
| name into disrepute, and disguise IN beggsr :
| rags the proud, and worthiy proud, privilege
| to claim Il am VirgInian.'"
Now, we like the spirit in which this little
piece Of satire .s evidently uttered, and We trust
| 1t may be emulated. The division Of Offices un-
| der the incoming Congress will average about
| two or three to each State. Let Virginia
| quietly and at home pick out her two or three,
| and then let the rest OF the regiment" pull or
tneir coats and roll up Their sleeves and pitch
for honest and square work upon the native soil.
| Then indeed will the proud privilege to claim
| 81 am ViIginian" be worth something.
SOUTHERN INDUsTRlEs.-It is gratifying TO
| observe from the reports coming in at the close
| If the present fiscal year, that our southern
industrial institutions are, comparatively, the
