Much space has been given to

productive of some good in this

only requirement they make of the
farmer is that he will undertake To
raise so many acres of fruit. Every
man knowing how easily this vege-
table is grown and the prodigious-
ness with which the vines produce.
should certainly interest himself in
the matter. The rewards are rich
and liberal, an acre in much poorer
sections of the State than this has
been known to net eighty-odd dol
lars. Opportunities come but once;
now is your chance, farmer friend.

it slip without first giving it serious
thought.

SUCCESS TO YOU.

During the year 1902 we averaged
more than one subscriber day for the
800 days, and since January 1st, 1908,
we have added to our list 60 yearly sub
scribers. OF course we recognize our ad-
vantage over the CITIZEN in that it is a
much older paper than the Sentinel and
had about gotten upto high-water mark
when we started in. We regard the
CITIZEN as the best all-around country
weekly in Virginia and we are not in the
least surprised at it's prosperity. During
the year 1903 we hope to add at least
one subscriber a day, and il we do this
we can boast of "A list second to none i'm

Virginia Editors and Florida,

The Virginia editors had fine time
OF 1t in Florida. At every point
they were cordially received, the peo-
pie of the Flower State doing all in
their power to entertain them and to
make their stay enjoyable. TIE
editors picked up great deal of in
formation and broadened their views.
Most OF them returned home this
week, after ten days. absence. They
traversed both the East and West
coasts of the State. Some of the edi-
tors and their ladies branched off into
other States, and will return later.

SENATE SCORES ONE.

We now presume that the Times
Dispatch and Fredericksburg STIR,
since Senator st. Clair has showed
how utterly be, as prominent citi-
zen Quot to say anything of being a
Senator) was ignored by the Board
of Education, will take back their
hot talk at the State Senate for not
confirming the nomination of Mr..
Pollock as School Superintendent of
Pulaski county, made by Governor
Montague and other members of
the State Board of Education. AL
though We have long known that
school superintendencies were po-
litical levers of high officials, who
governed their appointments, We
confess we thought the Senate
had gone little too far in
bowling to " Senatorial courtesy"
But since, according to Senator st.
Clair's statement, the Board surrep-
titiously met, made the appointment
and denied the Senator and others
holding his views a hearing, we
think the State Senate administered
a very just rebuke. When we con-
slider the manner in which many of
the School superintendent through
out the State have been used in
politics In recent years We are not
surprised that the Constitutional
Convention curtailed its powers by
charging the Board by the addition
of disinterested and competent men.
1t is a surprise, though, that they
did not take the matter entirely out
of the hands of the Governor and
his Attorney-Genersl. So long as
these two high officials have a say
in the appointment of School Super
intendents the hope of the Freder-
icksburg Sar-that it had "seen the
last of petty politics in public
school matters"-will be futile.
Since penning the above we see
that the Times Dispatch feels justi-
fed in its position, chiefly because
the dissatisfaction of Senator st.
Clair and his friends is purely q
personal matter, as well as one with
a tinge of fractional politics, and ar
CUES that such appointments should
be based upon the higher plane of
fitness and the good of the service.
In this latter we heartily concur,
but cannot see, as our esteemed con-
temporary appears to do, that the
nomination of Mr.. Pollock was
anything higher than favortism or
fractional politics. The records of
recent events are "agin" such a
view.

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF

Mothers Mako It the Home Medicine
For Che Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers Of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, If we expect
them to rpen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings OF limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache. drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and ail.
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and visor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In msny severe and COM
piicated cases, Psine's Celery Compound has
