Young MEN ON THE FARM.

II Is said that there has been turn
In tho tide and that whereas a few years
aro young men from the country were
foching to the cities the tendency now is
for young men in the cities to go to the
country. We believe that this tendency
will be moro and more from year 10
year and for several very good reasons.
The cities are overcrowded and 1t Is
hard for young man. unless he has had
thorough training, to make more than
Z enough to take care Of himself, and at
best his work IS hard and the hours OF
service long and tedious On the farm
he has to work during certain seasons
very hard and from sun to sun. But AZ
ter the crop has been laid by he can
take q long vacation and either ENJOY
himself at his country homo or take a
trip to some of tho various resorts, where
he is always welcome.
It has been abundantly demonstrated
that intelligent farming in Virginia VIII
pay. The farmer must know what he
SIS about. He must understand the char
acter of the soil which he tils; he mus
know what sort of crops to plant and
what sort of fertilizers to use; he must
study market conditions and raise those
products which are in good demand; he
must work hard in season and he must
apply the ordinary rules of business &c
his farming operations. But If he VIII
do all this he is almost sure in ordinary
season to make good crops and to clear
a round sum Of money at the end Of the
year.
He may handle little more money in
town. but he will pay out the greater
portion of his earnings in board nnd
lodging and clothes and in incidental ex-
penditures, which young men consider
necessary in city life. On the farm
his board and lodging are SO small as
hardly to be taken into account and his
Incidental expenses are ccrrcspondlngly
small. If he is a man of family he can
produce on the farm almost everything
that the family consumes, and, ell Things
else being equal, he will turn In moro
cash to the profit account when he is
engaged in successful farming than when
he is working on salary in town. This,
to say nothing of the question of indie
pendence and the question of health.
But the inevitable trolley line is do
fnr q great deal and will do a great
deal moro as it grows to induce young
men to make farming their occupation III
life. A farm on trolley line within
easy reach of some town or city is a
very different proposition from farm
in the remote regions, where the roads
are wretched and where access to the
trade centres is difficult These trolley
lines are growing with wonderful rapidly
and they are reaching out from the city
of Richmond in all directions. Farms
along the lines Of such roads are very
valuable and will become more and more
valuable and 1t Is our deliberate opinion
that any young man who will purchase
such a farm, even though 1t be but a lew
acres, at present prices will be able TO
make a comfortable living and will have
the satisfaction of seeing his land Increase
IN value from year to year. at rate
largely In excess of the interest on the
Investment.

OIL FOR FUEL

It is probable that the coal strike will
have the effect largely to increase the use
of oil for fuel. 1t is said that oil can
be brought from Texas to New York
and sold at price which will make it
quite as cheap as coal at IS ton. A
Baltimore correspondent says that Oil
instead Of coal is now being used at some
of the largest factories in that city,
among them the Baltimore Car Works
and the Maryland Steel Company. He
asserts that these concerns find oil less
extensive than coal and more effective
and much cleaner, in that it does away
entirely with the great clouds Of black
smoke and the scot and dust and CRIME.
The combustion in the furnace Is nearly
perfect, and it would be great relief
II Baltimore to be rid of the dirty smoke
that issues from furnaces using coal.
One Of the New York papers goes SO far
as to say that the coal strike may be
blessing in disguise, as giving the man
ufacturers the means of discovering a
cheaper and better fuel

A Silver Wedding.

Shawboro. N. c., Feb. 19.--(Speeiak)- -
Saturday evening, February Is, was a
great time in the hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. f. c. Bell. 1t was the cele-
bration OF their silver wedding. Just
twenty-five years ago they plighted their
troth. On this occasion friends met to
extend congratulations. This they did
without stint--a host of them, from north
Caorlina and Virginia, and even as far
away as New York.
For several days the clans had been
gathering to aid In the joyous task of
making adequate preparation for the
lnomentous occasion. When the hour
arrived the spacious rooms We're scene
of loneliness. Deft fingers had arrang-
ed all, and pink and silver were beau
tifully blended everywhere.
Miss Minnie Hall presided gracefully
at the piano, and as the strains of Men
delssohn's Wedding March pealed forth
the bridal party entered the parlor,
where in a few happy words DIR. r. r..
OVERLY extended congratulations and Of
fered prayer. Following this best wishes
were uttered by all those who were pres
ent. Among the attndants on this occa-
capacity twenty-five years ago.
A sumptuous repast had been provid-
ed and to this all the guests were in
vited. In the dining room, no less than
in the parlor, there was that generous
good feeling that characterized every
feature of the occasion. Land and sea
had both been made to contribute dainty,
dishes for the feast. The dining room
was elegant, not only in its decorations,
but In ali its appointments.
It was the first hour of the Sabbath
when one by one the guests began TO
depart, breathing the hope that many
years of welded life would yet be vouch-
safed their hosts
The presents We're both numerous and
handsome. Foremost among them was
a beautiful diamond brooch, the gift of
the groom.

new preparation for the cure OF ca
tarrh has attracted much attention IN
the past few months and has met with
great favor from the medical profession
not only because it is remarkably sue
cessful in the cure of catarrh but also
because it Is not a secret patent medi-
cine, anyone using 1t knows just what
he is takiug into his system.
1t is composed OF blood root which acts
on the blood and mucous membrane, hy-
drastin for same purpose to clear the
mueus from head and throat, and red
gum OF eucalyptus tree TO destroy ca
tarrhal germs in the blood.
All OF these antiseptic remedies are
combined in the form Of plsasant-tsst-
ing tablet or lczenge, and are sold by
druggists under name OF Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, and many recent tests In
chronic catairh cases have established
it's merit beyond question.
DR.. Sebring states that he has discard
ed inhalers, sprays and washes and de-
bends entirely upon Stuarts Catanh
Tablets in treating nasal catarrh. lie
says: Il have had patients who had
lost the sense OF smell entirely, and
whose hearing was also impaired from
nasal catarrh, recover completely after
a few weeks use OF Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's | have been equally successful with
the remedy in catarrh of throat and ca
tarrh of stomach. l eaA only explain 1t
IN the principle that catarrh Is con-
etitutional disease, and that the antisep-
tic properties In these tablets drives the
catarrhal poison completely out Of the
system"
Dr. OdelI says, have cured many
cases OF catarrh of stomach in past four
months by the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets alone without the use of any
other remedy and without dieting. The
tablets are especially useful in nasal ca
tarrh and catarrh of the throat clearing
he membranes and overcoming the con-
finual hawking, coughing and expectorat-
ing, so disgusting and annoying to ca
tarrh sufferers.
