with few prime ingredients which
can be obtained at much less cost
than prepared fertilizers the farmer
can compound his own fertilizer on
his own premises and get an article

them economically and intelligently,

passed over as a mere trifle. This

of thorough equipment as a condit-

NORFOLK'S CHANCES ALONG THE
RAPPAHANNOCK.

The people OF Norfolk will one
and all rejoice at the improvement of
the steamboat service between this
city and the rich trade section along
the Rarpahannock river.
Beginning with July 7th, the
steamer Essex will leave this city
twice week for Tappahannock and
all points below on the Rappahan-
mock river. This service, it is uu-
derstood, will be increased if the
business obtained justities n schedule
of boat three, four, five, six or
seven times a week.
The Rappahsnnock river country
is very, very fertile section of Vir-
ginia. 1t has lacked railway deyel-
opment, although there has been talk
of the building of an electric line
between fredericksburg and the
lower country along down the river.
But cheap water transportation has
precluded the carrying of freight,
and there is serious doubt that the
country is sufficiently thickly settled
to pay the expenses of an electric or
steam line devoted mostly to passeu-
ger traffic.
Although Baltimore is by no
means so convenient by cheap freight
or passenger routes to the mouth of
the Rsppahannock as is Norfolk, the
Maryland metropolis has hitherto
practically monopolized the trade of
this rich river country. Norfolk,
content to look south into the Caro-
linas for her business has overlooked
this vast and rich section of Virginia
right here at our doors.
With the inauguration Of the twice
a week service between this section
and the Rappahannock country, our
wholesalers can afford to travel their
salesmen through the towns and
country as far up the river as Tap
pahannock. They should get the
best freight rates into this section of
any wholesalers dealing there, owing
TO superior location, and should cer-
tainly be able to establish, even tually
paying business. With the growth
of this business a more frequent boat
schedule will be possible and one day
the Rappahannock river trade will
come to Norfolk, where it rightfully
belongs.
The Dispatch would especially
impress upon our business commun-
ity the extreme desirability and the
necessity of following up the paths
which have been blazed for future
trade and business by our CONNER
cial bodies. Ten or a dozen years
may see the opening up of the Rap
pahannock river country to immigra-
ton, as the peninsular country is
now opening up. The trade of this
river adds greatly to Baltimore's
riches and can be made ours if we
do but go after it. 1t is by seizing
and developing such opportunities
as the present that we can hope to
make of Norfolk a great city.
Richmond sufficiently appreciates
this trade to be contemplating the
building of railroad to bring it to
her doors. The business can be
barged 10 Norfolk. Norfolk Dispatch.

DON'T GIVE UP.

There are some special words which
may be said to hold the secret of
beauty in life. Que is victorious
ness." Many people let themselves
be defeated almost habitually. 1t
begins in childhood. The lessons
are hard, and the child does not
master them. 1t costs exertion to
succeed in the games, and the bow
indolently concludes that he cannot
win, and does not do his best. The
girl finds that she cannot play her
exercises on the piano without great
deal of tiresome practice and lets
herself be defeated. 1t is hard to
restrain temper and appetite in
youth, and the young man gives up
the struggle and yields to the indui-
gence. Thus at the very beginning
the battle is lost, and oftimes all life
afterward carries the -debilitating
effect. Always duty is too large,
and lessons are too hard, and discip-
line is too severe, and passion is too
strong. TO its close the life is weak,
never victorious, unable to cope with
its environments. 1t Is a fatal thing
to form in youth the habit of per-
mitting ones self to be defeated.
Life then never Can be what it might
have become.
On the other hand, when the lesson
of being victorious is learned in
childhood, all is different. Studies
are mastered; exercises are played
over hundred times, if need be, till
they are played accurately; games
are not indolently lost for want of
exertion. Later in life, when the
lessons are larger and the discipline
is sorer, and the tasks require more
labor, and the battles test the soul to
it's last particle of strength, the habit
of overcoming still avails and the life
is ever victorious. The thought of
giving up is never entertained for a

LAwLEsS LIQUORDEALERs
(Richaond Times. .Dispateh.)

Our correspondent from Roanoke
says that Rev. r. L. Cauley, Baptist
minister having charge in Floyd
county, was attacked on the highway
Saturday afternoon by six masked
men, badly beaten and left for dead.
The reason for the outrage is thus
stated: Several months ago Mr..
Cauley was conducting a revival in
Floyd, during which several moon
sinners sold Illicit whiskey around
the church. The preacher reported
the fact to the United States COM
missioner and warrants were issued
for the arrest of three men concerned.
Two of the men afterwards met the
preacher in the road and gave him a
thrashing. At the term of the
United States Supreme Court, held
soon after the outrage was committed,
both men were fined $500 and SEN
fenced to one year in the Federal
prison at Atlanta. 1t is now slleg ed
that the assault Of Saturday was
committed by friends of the moon
SINNER c0nvlctS.
This outrage is enough to stir the
righteous men of the Commonwealth
OF Virginia to Indignation. Many
liquor dealers in this State have
shown an utter contempt of law, and
have prejudiced the public all the
more against the liquor traffic. In
communities where prohibition pre-
walls they sell liquor in violation of
the law, and in communities where
prohibition does not prevail they sell
liquor In violation of the Sunday
law. These liquor dealers in FLOYD
county were manufacturing whiskey
contrary to law and were selling i'll
contrary to law, and in selling it at
that particular place they were in
tertering with religious Worship
another violation of the law. The
preacher did right to report them.
He would have been a coward if he
had failed to do so. Yet because he
discharged his dirty as law-abiding
citizen aud as a minister of the
gospel, he was twice set upon by
desperadoes and outrageonsly beaten.
Two of the desperadoes met their
deserts, and are now safe in prison,
and it is to be hoped that the others
will be apprehended and punished as
they deserve.
We do not make sweeping charges
against all liquor dealers. Some of
them conduct their business accord
ing to law and with respect to the
pfoprieties. But others of them are
lawless and defiant, and, in the in
terest of law and order, to say no
more, they should in every case be
held to strict account for their
misdoings.

THE INTELLIGENT FARMER.

The Northampton Times does not
unduly exalt the vocation of the til
ler of the soil when it says "there was
never a higher and more responsible
calling than that of the farmer, nor
one that requires the exercise of more
brain power" Brute force may dig a
sort of rude living out of the ground,
but successful farming is the result
of the exercise of intelligence. The
farmer, like men in other walks of
life, is devoting his attention more
and more to specialties. Much of
the land all along the Atlantic sea-
board now is devoted to truck grow
ing, the valley is a wheat section, and
some of the higher attitudes in this
and adjacent States are devoted
largely to grazing and the breeding
of domestic animals. In all these
spheres of rural activity, thought and
intelligent method are essential to
success. For instance, we observe
the announcement that thirty thous-
and fertilizer bulletins have Just
been mailed by Commissioner Koiner
to the farmers of this State. This
is to prevent imposition upon con-
sumers of fertilizers. Every brand
Of fertilizer listed has been analyzed
and when the farmer buys it, he
knows what he is getting. However,
this is only small part of what he
needs to know. In order to fertilize
intelligently, he should also have an
analysis of the soil he proposes ia
cultivate, so as to know wherein it ID
deficient and what should be sup.
piled in the fertilizer used, and be
should likewise know the require.
ments of the crop he proposes te
plano. Then he could not only sup
ply that which the land lacks, bu,
he could also furnish what is spec.

Think of your own faults and you
will talk less about the faults of
others.
When some people tell the truth it
is only for the purpose of creating
trouble.
The fashionable sleeves this year
look like those little girl outs for

The woman who knows how to
manage man is the one who never
lets him know it.
If you have complement and am.

max faces at bacilli, scrape acquaint-
ance with fever germs and laugh at
all forms of disease.

KENTUCKY's MANY "ILLs."

Kentucky's hills are full of rills,
Aud all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills are full of gilis,
And all the gills are full of thrills,
And all the thrills are full of kills.
You see the feudists dot the hills,
And camp along the little rills,
Convenien. to the busy stills,
And thirsting for the brimming gills,
Aud when the juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around aud kills.
Now, il they'd only stop the stills,
They'd cure Kentucky's many Ills =
Men would be spared to climb the hills
And operate the busy stills.
However, this would mean moro gills,
And that of coarse would mean more
thrills,
Resulting In the same old kills.
So all the hills aud rills anl stills,
And all the gills and thrills and kills
Are splendid for the coffin mills,
ADd make more undertakers' bills.
