I'm order To show how neighbOrly We
can be We have changed the date fen
holding our Fair from the l6,h, l7th
and 18th to the 23rd. 9th and 18th Of
October IN order To oohge our sister,
Lynchburg. IL is tO bs regretted that
the change was necessary "a the day +
originally named by us had been 80
extensively advertised. And we don't
know why Lynchburg should have
trespasse on our week as she must
have known that we had selected IL
long before she made her announce
ment. However, we have yielded our
right and hope now our nelghbOr will
appreciate il by turning out IN full force
to our feast Of good things Our mer-
chants are responding literally to the
request for special premiums and that
feature Of the Fair promises to be more
attractive than ever before. The pub
lie marriage of some couple, yet II be
named, Will be drawing card. The
young people need not issue cards Of in
vitation for everybody will be there.
The premium list is being printed and
from the number Of inquiries for copies
evidently our people are interested as
never before in the success Of the exhi-
billions. Don't forget the change of
dates the 10th, 18th and 18th of October
to Ord, 9th and 18th Of the same
month.
BY that time our farmer friends will
have cut and cured tobacco, and fin
ished wheat seeding. With those
duties done they will be entitled to a
week Of rest, and our hope is that they
will enjoy to its full every moment of
Fair week.
And they will remember that the
Fair is not an institution of the town
only but Of the town and country COM
bined. Without country contributions
there never was and never will be a
Fair worthy of notice
Farmvile has been selected as the
place for holding the Fair for the rea-
son that it is the best and most con-
Venent place-only that and nothing
more.

From an authentic source we are
informed that in 1900 the aggregate
wealth Of the United States, it has
been estimated by the statiscians
was in the neighborhood of SjOO'0OO,'
600. The census authorities in those
days made no attempt TO get at the
value of the real and personal prop
erty Of the country, but this $780,
600, 900 is a guess which has been
made by experts since that time.
based on the growth Of the earlier
years in which the census officials
made an inquiry into this field. The
aggregate was a little over $1,000.
100000 in 1850, and it is expected to
be over s9O,OOO,OOO,OOO for 1900.

Indian squaws with $4,000 dowry
would be a big descent, even if the
latter had any existence. But. ac-
cording to the Boston Herald, even
an unfounded rumor that Uncle Sam
has endowed Indian brides TO give
away has been enough to attract the
notice of impecunious foreigners;
I'VE get another instructive hint as
TO the thriftiness Of foreign gentle
men from the large number of let
tiers that are being received from
abroad at the Indian bureau in Wash

worthiness OF the statement that our
government has placed 5000 Indian
girls in the matrimonial market, and
that IL will give a $4,000 dowry and
100 acres Of land 10 each squaw. It's

Are We Sincere !

Editor Herdid:-On last Sunday
sat in one Of the churches Of your town
and heard large congregation sing
this verse:
"Take thou my cup and 30
with JOY or sorrow hll,
As best 10 thee, o, Lord, may seem;
Choose thou my good and Ill.,"
/ took part IN the singing, too, and
now that the song has died on the air
| have been wondering if we were sim
cere i'm asking for "joyn or sorrow"
good or Ill" just as infinite wisdom
should decide which was best.
Singing some hymns as they are
written is well nigh a. serious mat
ter a. asking TO be forgiven as we
would forgive.
Perhaps many Of Us would hesitate
about singing such verses If we would
think before singing.

Union Services.

Union services for the remainder of
the summer were inaugurated last
Sunday evening at the Presbyterian
church where Rev. Mr.. Hunter, Of the
Methodist church, preached The sermon.
He selected his tex from Deuteronomy,
chapter xxi, verses II and H. in
which the writer graphically describes
the care and tender teaching OF the
mother eagle over her young, and then
proceeded to impress upon his hearers
Gods wise and watchful care over his
people.
The evening was oppressively warm,
and the congregation not so large as
usual on such occasions. No announce
ment was made for the next meet.

A young man Of capacity, industry
and integrity has a field for indiyidu-
oonor,.n,,,. 10. al effort such as
has never before
existed in this
country, writes Edward Box of THE
Times and the Young Man." in the
Ladies' Home Journal. And success is
neither harder nor easier than il ever
was. Success never yet came to the
laggard, and il never will. Let
young man be capable, have enter.
prise, be willing to work. and carry
himself like man, and he goes
where he will. His success depends
upon himself. No times, no condi.
tions, no combinations of capital can
stop a young man who has de-
termination 10 honorably succeed
and who is willing to work according
10 the very utmost Of his capacity
and sinews of strength. The real
tIouDlt Is ludl the dNtIdgt young
man won't work. He has gotten the
insane notion in his head that sue.
cess comes by luck; that men are
made by opportunities which either
come to them or are thrust upon
them. And ne waits for luck or
chance TO come along and find him
Instead of taking a sane view Of con.
ditions and seeing with a clear mind
that as trade widens opportunities in
crease, he takes the mistaken view
that the rich are getting richer and
the poor poorer. These are the con.
ditions OF mind and life which are
keeping thousands Of young men
down, and will keep them down. The
times are all right. 1t is the young
man who finds fault with them who
is not.
