GIVING.

This is an age Of giving. We heard
this remark made recently: "Ihe
habit of Christmas giving has so grown
that we give more TO the children on
one return Of the holiday than our
fathers were wont 20 do during forty
And this is true, be It said to the cred
il of the age, for the Christ, but foI
whose birth as man there would have
been no Xmas, taught US that il is
more blessed to give than 10 receive.
But all giving hasn't his benedictiou
resting on il. No one Of as has the
right to give for mere show OF for the
hope Of receiving IN return. The fact
that young children cannot make re-
turns to us makes giving to them most
meritori0us. And so giving to the
poor and those ia want.
Ii is a commendable spirit in all
parents to desire to make Xmas morn
ing at home the brightest and happiest
Of all the year, but having done that
parents and children ought TO unite
in adding new beams 20 that bright
ness and new thrills 10 that bliss by
making some other heart the happier
and some other home the brighter.
We doubt ifany church organization,
any municipality or any other incor.
porated or organized body Of men or
women should allow the Christmas
tide to go by, and not commit to it,
keeping some token Of good for others.
Let US not stop TO ask why want exists
or woe has place in human hearts, but
60 with the relief and the balm and
thank God for the ability and the in
cination to help.
Nor will We have to look long or go
far before finding the worthy objects
for our beneficence. Just open your
eyes and you can see plainly. only /
sire ch out your hands and you can /
surely touch the right places and the /
right persons. Not many Of the peo-
pie Of Farmville are in actual need,
but there are bodily wants around
and about us, and soul-wants every.
where. a friendly call, kindly word,
a warm hand grasp, a bright smile
may be the thing you should give aud,
are any Of Us so poor as not TO be able
10 make such contributions And if
we can give no one thing, can we not
forgive many things?
Think on these things and do your
best, aud be that does that does well.

THE WASHINGTON POST TO
FARMERS.

"rhe difficulty la the way OF making
/ q successful Organization Of The farmers
for the purpose Of regulating aud fix
[ ing prices. is the diveTgency Of interest
among them They are scattered over
too much territory and there Is too
wide "A variance In local conditions
The Iowa farmer may be able To hold
Z his corn until the COWS come home.
/ but the Nebraska farmer NAV have a
mortgage 20 meet and be compelled
90 sell his crop a. soon as 10 Is gathered,
30 he has not already bargained for 10
in advance. The Minnesota and Da.
kota farmers may know nothing of
conditions ln the Lower Missouri Val
ley country and would not be able 90
change their plans If they did. 1t is
all right tO admonish farmer tn hold
his wheat, but that will not buy or
build bins for the product Of thousands
of acres. The diversity Of interest il
too large Co make good any plan for a
proposed corner boo farm products. The
farmers trust cannot prove a winner "
Which is equivalent TO saying TO the
farmers. take your medicine and don't
even make faces The trusts have you
by the neck and you can't even shake
them off,
This is nonsense. Farmers can get
together, stay together and accomplish
something. There Is community Of
interests binding them together and
the corn grower Of Iowa can touch
elbows with the cotton grower Of Geor-
gia, the Nebraskau can keep step with
the Nrginian and together they can
defend against common enemies and
common wrongs.

TRANSPORTATION LINES TO THE
RESCUE.

There are large number Of trans
portation companies which are inter
ested in the holding Of the Jamestown
Exposition and they have been asked
to contribute to its success, or rather to
aid in securing its very existence, for
without the additional Sl5OOOO of
stock now needed the whole scheme
must Of necessity fall through.
Surely the railroads and steamboats,
terminus at Norfolk and other con-
tiguous points, cannot afford to lose an
opportunity like that. 1t only comes
once IN life time aud it would be
mid-winter madness not to seize it.
Corporations may not have souls. or
be Influenced by sentiment. but surely
they have sense and that's all needed
Just now to make certain the James
town Exposition.

"YOU CAN'T HELP TELLING LIES IN
BUSINESS "

We heard a man Of very great prom
inence quote the above in a speech re-
Gently and it is not uncommon to see
1t in print Is there any truth in il a.?
Another has said: "Oh, yes, you can;
you can tell the truth for the good Of
your soul and make an assignment for
the benefit Of your creditors" That's
well said. We read also Of a business
man who confessed that bis associates
in business were so given TO deceiving.
so bold in lying that he fell into the
habit Of "deceiving them by telling
the truth" And what shall be said of
that man?
From all this it is refreshing to turn
to still another, who says:
"Iftrutb is so valuable why do not
all truthful men succeed2 Because
not all truthful men have brains. Not
all men Of truth and brains have ener.
gy. Not all men of truth and brains
and energy have opportunity. Not
all men Of truth and brains and energy
and opportunity are lucky. And, final
ly, not all men Of truth and brains and
energy and opportunity and luck par
ticularly care TO succeed; some Of us
like to ignore the gifts Of nature and
dwadle through life in something Of
the peace that we expect after death
Moreover, there is a difference of
opinion as to what constitutes success.

siders himself prosperous when happy; |
