THE BEST NEW YEAR GIFT FOR
VIRGINIA

The opening of the new year upon which
we are entering finds US good loug step
towards prosperity. To-day the Ameri-
can nation finds itself with great crops
garnered, selling more to the world than it
is buying from it, and with $1,O44, 5S9,994
in gold or paper as good as gold in its
pockets. Food tor man and beast is cheap
and plenty and raiment is in like condi-
ton. Confidence is stronger than it was
year ago. It is not "booming'' nor is it
likely to be, but it's growth is sure and
steady and even to the most Responding
begins to be apparent. Railroads building
is beginning to appear again as business
in the country and in Virginia alone four
are now in construction. In every depart
ment of mechanics there is some quicken
ing, no matter how little, which shows
that we are no longer stagnant but moving
ahead. In all trade except, perhaps in
luxuries, there is reported an improve
ment These movements are sure indica-
tions of coming prosperity, for the healthy
progress of trade upward can no more be
stayed than its decline can be stopped un-
til it reaches bed rock. We may be sure
that things are going on towards the best.
But while everything looks promising
ahead we are having one trouble in Vir-
gina, which is retarding us.-Our repre-
sentatives somehow cannot make up their.
minds to put their shoulders to the wheel,
and with unanimous effort lift the State
out of the rut and put her in line with the
rest Of the advancing caravan. And yet
that would be apraiseworthy annuoncement
of the year. Itwould be received with APP
plause by the people of the whole State.
No legislator need be afraid to meet his
constituents at the close of the session,
who can 60 back to them with the an
nouncement that the debt question is
settled, that the offer of the creditors has
been accepted; that a. tax has been laid to
meet the required payments, and that we
have all heard the last Of a discussion
which has cost our citizens millions. 1t
would be great New Years gift to the
Old State. !+-q fiw 4agis

meeting Of the Augusta County School
Board. The calmness, dignity and self
control of the members, under what they
believed, and very plainly said, was a
wrong by the State Board Of Education,
was unmistakeable, and the formal ex-
preston of the opinion of such men can't
fail to impress the State Board with the
proprlety of hereafter giving their action
weight. Sag 5 ae, II s,; 3aSaao
Hand now, having published all that has
been said and done in this matter up to
date, and given all sides fair hearing, we
trust for the sake of the county schools
there will be an end of it. The most eff
fcient superintendent in the world would
have his efficiency impaired by opposition,
and the trouble is that the damage neces-
sarily fails not on bin but on the children
VINO are at school and for whose education
the public are taxed.

hundred acres In Vermont ought to be
satisfied, and mentions as sample Of the
contented class one who bought small farm
in 1866 for 81, 800, paying about $500 down,
run in debt for the rest, got married, and
went 10 work to stay. In few years he
was out Of debt, with good stock, and has
money at interest has always been good
liver, has a family of children, takes deep
interest in their education, and is happy,
contented man. He has never specuated,
but raises good stock, and spends no more
time away from his farm than necessary
and his example has had an excellent infu-
ence on all around him, inducing others TO go
and do likewise.
The man here referred to began in good
time and was successful. This, in our opin-
ion, is another good time for young and
energetic farmers who have saved a little
money to invest it in land and go to work.
Probably farms will never again be cheaper
in New England than they are to-day. We
never would advise any man to go in debt
for farm. But some seem to find in debt
the very stimulus they need to bring out
their energies. A very smart man with
very smart wife, both strong and healthy,
may afford to run the risk But for ourself,
with $500 in hand, we would rather buy a
$500 farm than $500 one. There is a
great deal of money to be dug out of small
piece of land by man who knows how.
And a man who don't know how to develop
the capabilities Of ten or twenty acres, will
rarely be able to pay thousand-dollar debt
on fifty or one hundred acres. Nearly all
the farms in Vermont are too big for the
men that are on them. France, no larger
than Texas, makes more agricultural pro-
ducts than the whole United States.
France is a country Of small farms, and her
farmers are the men whose wallets are al
ways ready when the government makes an
issue of bonds. The national debt Of France
is mainly held by her farmers, the d" boated
bondholders of that republic numbering
five millions,-which by the way is just the
number of dollars that William Vanderbilt
has invested in United States bonds. The
national debt of this country is mainly held
by the creditors of our farmers. There is
big lesson in this, if people would study it.

Corporation in Great Britain.

While we have favored cooperative buying
for cash we have never favored cooperative
stores, for they have almost always proved
failure, through bad management, in this
country. But on the other side Of the At
lantic it has been different. A congress of
the cooperative industrial societies in Eng
land and Scotland, held in Glasgow recently,
received reports from eleven hundred and
seventy societies, or about four-ffths of the
entire number. These societies have five
hundred thousand members, nearly $685.
100000 paid up capital, and s4,500,000 bor-
rowed money derived chiefly from their nom
membership subscribers. The purchases Of
these organizations amount to SS0,500,000
annually, on which they make gross profit
of 100000 and net profit of 100000,
or about ten per cent on their sales. 1t
must be understood that these associations
carry on no industry they are called indus
trial because they are made up of working
men, and their sole business is to buy the
goods workingmen need and sell them for
cash to their members, dispensing with the
services of middlemen. Goods are also
sold at retail profit to those who are not
members.
Not only in Britain, but in Ireland, has
this method of making purchases taken
strong root. The Dublin correspondent of
an exchange says "The shop-keepers of
this more or less United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and Ireland are wrestling with
very formidable kind of competition hith-
erto unknown in these parts. This compe-
tition comes not across the seas, but from
the drawingrooms of the aristocracy and
from the government bureaus. 1t is cham
pioned by peers of the realm, by titled la
dies by members of parliament, by officers
of the army and navy, and by high officers
of the crown. In Dublin and in Lon
don the stores of the official cooperative
societies " are now in full swing, and are
doing Aourishing trade in most compre-
hensive line of business, from an needle to
an anchor at prices to ready-money purchas-
ers, who are shareholders or subscribers,
very much under those of the ordinary shop
keeper" There has been great contempt
thrown upon attempts at cooperative buy
ing among the farmers in Vermont, but per-
haps our people of "culcha" may think
better of it after learning that the nobility
have followed the mobility" into it, across

CHAPTER VII.
Years after, the riddle Of Anne's birth
and family was solved by Paul, who never
rested till he found IL all ont The story is
briefly this Two families Of New York,
cousins, for the mothers were sisters, lived
near each other. Both lived in comfort and
even luxury. Each had one child, and
these were Paul and Anne. Paul, being
older often played with Anne and taught
the baby lips their very first words" Paul
Granger" So often were they repeated,
that time and silence could not obiterate
them.
But Anne's parents moved into the coun-
try, TO some small village, before she was
out of her babyhood. No letters passed be-
tween the two families, as Anne's mother
died just after her removal. Soon after, her
father failed, and being a bad and desper-
ate man, he ran away and left the child TO
his own sister, who was poor, and, az we
have said, cruel.
When Paul told all this TO his little wife
she could easily believe the story, for both
the name and the face Of Paul Granger had
always seemed familiar to her.
So our lives began together and will
end together" said Cinderella al told you
on the ship that knew you, Paul. Do you

sight of you, golden silence, for it has led
us into everlasting communion" NJ. NJ.
