THOUGHTS on INTERNATIONAL
HELPFULNESS.
Nenlo)

Men are boys developed. Nations
are men developed to the point Of CO.
operating. The world is made up Of
nations, some developed more, some
less.
The trend Of nation is given to it by
the prevailing ideals Of its men. When
the great and unselfsh have control,
the nation has dignity. When the
self-seeking and narrow minded have
control, the nation has no dignity. In
a broad sense, therefore, the progress
Of the whole world depends upon the
ideals Of its men.
In boyhOod is headlong action. A
nation in its childhood is apt to lose
sight Of the gain that comes from man.
hoods dignity, until suffering and
calamity have sobered the national
sense. Such bOyish nations are to be
found to the South Of us. They think
like boys, imperfectly understanding
that successful life as nations comes only
from comprehension Of their relations
to others. They act like boys, careless
Of consequences, needless Of settling

knitting Mills Revived.

We are glad to report that the Farm
vile Knitting Mills have passed into
new hands, and that work will be re-
sumed at an early day. Extensive inn
provements are to be added, as we are
advised and a dying attachment among
them so that the entire work for pre-
pairing product for market will be done
here.
This means much for our town, for
after all if Farmville is ever to assume
the position among sister towns to
which she is entitled, to her natural
advantages must be added an imposing
weekly pay roll. We need an army Of
skilled mechanics to aid US in winning
business victories. The revived knit
ting mill is a step in the right direction.
And now let US all determine from this
good hour to give good cheer and hearty
encouragement to the new movement.
Let the very atmosphere be charged
with confidence aud a new victory will
perch on new business banner.
This home enterprise has ever been a
pet Of the Herald and we do earnest
ly wish for it abundant success. II

your plan for furnishishing Libraries 10
the public schools, and will take great
pleasure in selecting suitable books for
the schools winning the prizes. Your
offer seems 10 me very liberal one,
and / trustit may be the means OF
giving to our children large number
Of readable books.
OF all our needs | consider this our
greatest a library in each schoolroom
would awaken the minds Of the chill
dren, make them better students, give
them an added interest in the school,
make them more regular in attendance
and open to them a world OF good
things Of which very few Of them get
even a glimpse. And the parents
would also derive great pleasure from
these books when they were taken
home by the children.
Very truly yours,
