Giving Gifts

There are customs which are ever
honored by their proper observance.
Among these is the annual remem-
brance of friends, in courtesy, and Of
the necessitous by goodwill offerings
Aside from the time-honored associa-
tions, which come with the closing
weeks Of theyear, the air itself which
alreadyshas an occasional ''nipping
add eager sharpness upon its edge,
is full of the premonitions of the
season for giving gifts. AS the weeks
close the thoughtful are admonished
The coming of the gift season is usu-
ally full of delightful hustle to some
people, of troubled anxiety to others,
and of confusion pleasant and I'm
pleasant to many. 4 little provision
will meet these claims without re-
BATE The custom, both of exchang-
ing presents and of giving gifts
whire one is not expected in return,
transforms holiday leisure into busy
work. 1t is usually not entirely sat
isfactory even to the generous, and
perhaps is least satisfactory TO the
most liberal. So many things are
overlooked or forgotten until too late,
that the season runs away with sort
of self reproach, and with the pur-
pose to ''do better next year" This
is a deferred annuity that Is not
agreeable. Judicious planning, care
ful selection and quiet examination
as to who and what, go a great way
toward preventing forgetiulness OF
those whom the giver is sometimes
panied to find has been forgotten, and
what is of considerable importance
also in these times will make little
money go a great way and more mon
ey go farther. The dealers are al
ways ready to wait on purchasers,
and If you know what you want II
can be found more readily now than
when the rush of purchasers begins.
Among seasonable duties the pay
ment of debts, if you have any, and
the settlement of accounts is impera-
tive. Debts, especially small ones
and accounts, particularly the person
al, are always best avoided. Yet a
habit has grown up of postponing or
forgetting them until the inexorable-l
New Years date demands settlement
and brings forgotten transactions to
memory. Business arrangements
marking specific dates for specific
payments and collections are not here
alluded to; though even in these the
work of preparation will make the
separation more easy formality. 1t
is a mistake, however to confound
personal and family expenses With
business transactions, properly so
called The furnishcrs Of personal
and household articles TO consumers
denot, or should not, deal on time
And If you are indebted to those
whose wages are their living, or whose
transactions involve small demands
on many people, be sure TO get out of
the list Of small debtors before the
old year is any nearer to its close. To
small creditors the debts due them
are often Of the largest consequence.

DEEP AND SHALLOW PLoUGHING.-
Few subjects attract more attention and
give rise to more discussion and want Of
agreement than that of the depth of plough
ing Many do not consider the very i'm
portant fact that deep or shallow ploushing
depends upon the nature of the soil. The
truth is, there arc many soils in which if
one ploughs deep he may find great profit
in SO doing; but, on the other hand, there
are thousands and thousands of acres of land
where it is sheer madness to plough deep.
On fiat clay land, where water cannot drain
rapidly away, and whore the lack of drain
age il the banc of the cultivator, it is found
by experience that shallow but rich sur
face soil is much better than deeply STIR
red one. And the reason is obvious If
water be an injury, and it cannot get Into
the soil by reason Of the hardness of the
subsoil the rain will pass over the surface
to the open bitches, which always have to
be made in fiat country. If we loosen
such soil deeply we only harbor moro of
our liquid enemy, and this counterbalances
what otherwise might be good thing in
deep soil. Besides these, there arc other
considerations IF the surface soil be poor,
and we turn this down into still poorer
subsoi We bury what little good there might
have been in the surface soil far below tho
reach of the roots.
A little learning is undoubtedly a dan
gcrous thing in farming. There is no de-
partment of industry where circumstances
alter cases more than 10 this While deep
ploughing is an excellent thing when cir
cumstances suit, there are nnumerabe casos
when it is wise to 60 on tho other way

MISS HERNDoN repeated some Of her
readings at the Town Hall ON Monday
night under the auspices of the Stonewall
Brigade Band. This young lady, who has
consider BILE beauty, and the devotion of
an artist to her profession, is native of
Lswisburg, W. Va, and was favorite
there as Miss Matte Frazier. She is con-
nected with some Of the best families in
West and East Virginia, and was "a sister
of Maj. Phil. Frazier, of the 9th Va. in
fantry, who fell at the battle of the Will
derness. Among her connections are some
of our prominent citizens, and portion
of her youth was spent in one of the pref
test country seats on the suburbs of the
city. Her experience in her profession has
been necessarily brief, but she gives pro-
mise of attaining enviable prominence in
it. With the accessories of company and
scenery she would be far more effective
than in readings, which are very try
ing to artists of much longer experience.
