Don't Get Wild.

There is promise just now Of a con-
siderable addition to our population by
the incoming Of sturdy farmers from
the North and West, who are simply
tired Of prolonged and severe winters.
The advance guard is already here and
Others are coming, that is if our land
owners don't drive them away 10y
demanding boom prices These new
corners have been led 10 believe that
many Of our people have more land
than they can proiitably hold, and are
therefore willing to sell at reasonable
figures, but when they run against a
bo0m-barrier, they simply 20 to an
other southern community or return
home. Here is a sample Of what is
taking place in our own section in this
regard. A party authorized a land
agency to sell their property for 5000
aud then sold the same property for
3, 800. The agency could have readily
sold it months sooner for that amount,
not to the owner, but made no efforts
to sell for the fabulous and fancy price.
We are glad to know that a large
majority of our farmers are not Offering
to sell their lands at any price, aud
that they are realizing more on the
capital invested than Is being enjoyed
by any other farmers Of other sections
of our common country, but some
owners Of real estate are anxious to sell,
ought to sell, and to such persons We
beg to say, exercise little ordinary
prudence in pricing your property, and
the chances are thar IN majority of
cases sales will be made. We read IN
recent issue of the South Boston Necs,
that one agency Of that town, had
within the recent past introduced one
hundred families into the county Of
Halifax.
+ cry right thinking man must
realize that this is good work. Tie
same can be done in Prince Edward,
provided people with land 70. sale don't

Richmond, Va, send us copy Of their
New Catalogue Of Seeds for the Farm
aud Garden. This firm has established
for itself high reputation throughout
the South, which will be enhanced by
tine fact that it has been honored by
the award of gold medal at the Paris
Exposition, recently closed. Woods
Seeds are sold in every State Of the
South and Southwest, and their trade
throughout this section Of the country
has steadily and constantly grown
from year to year until now they sell
more seeds than any other house doing
business in the South. To have at
tanned such proportions, the seeds they
sent out must have been reliable and
good. This has been their policy in
the past, and it will be their practice in
the present aud future. Not the
cheapest, but the best, is their motto.
The difference between the cost Of the
seed and the value Of the crop when
raised is so great that no one can afford
to sacrifice the crop for the sake Of the
saving of a few cents in the cost Of the
seed. Send to Messrs. 4. w. Wood d

you will find it full Of helpful and use

deners. 1t is most beautifully gotten
