true, but it is not because OF ten
dency to sel6shness, as we generally
define the term, or moral depravity
upon the part of TIE living The
reason may be found in that which
we know as thoughtlessness, created
by the speed st which We of this
generation are going, the onward and
sometimes mad rush of. life as 1t IS
seen today. If we had the time upon
our hands that our forefathers
revealed in memory would oftener
recur to men and things of the past,
and they would naturally be greener
in our minds, and, We think, fully
as much revered.
The truth remains, nevertheless
that we may hear the name, or see Ii
in print, of one who in the recent
past was great in the councils OF
state or church, and for the moment
We will wonder what has become OF

AS it is with men, so it is with
events. The Galveston horror will
soon be of the dim, but recent past,
and ere long we will have to thump
our noodles to recall the year or
some of the events that trsnsPired

from the Richmond News of few
months ago:

THOSE FARMERS INSTITUTES

1t is with much regret we find that
the farmers of this section are ex-
pressing no interest in the proposed
Farmers Institutes. THE FREE
LANCE has referred to the subject be-
fore while an interesting letter also ap
peared in these columns from Mr.
]. q. C. Beverley, of Essex,
the member Of the Board of
Agriculture from the First Con.
gressional District. We have not
felt warranted in commenting upon
the determination of the Board by
which the Institutes were evolved,
chiefly because we have not given
the pros and cons weighty consider
GRAFTON; but the Board has decided
to hold them throughout the several
districts and the money has been APP
propriated to defrsy the expenses for
it. Because Of this we are OF the
opinion that the farmers OF the First
Congressional District should aid
and encourage Mr.. Beverley in his
undertaking.
While passing through our city a
few days since Mr.. Beverley informed
q representative Of this paper that he
had received but one letter upon the
snbject from a farmer, notwith-
standing his appeal to them to express
their views either TO him directly or
through the columns of the press;
in consequence of which he was much
discouraged in his work. He stated
that upon several occasions ne had
endeavored to inaugurate schemes for
the advancement of agriculture, but
that all such had fallen fat because
OF lack Of interest upon the part OF
those whom he sought to benefit.
Mr.. Beverley is still willing to hold
as many as two or three Institutes
within the First District Zone of thdm
to be at fredericksburg if the farm
ers will indicate their willingness
to attend.
