WONDERFUL PROGRESS.
The improvements in the North

HEATHsv1LLE. Va. NoY. A'-The
rroeress made by the Northern Neck IN
the past few years Is the subject OF COM
ment with business men throughout this
section and In most parts OF the state
prummers and other business men, who
have Travelled this section for many
years, claim that no piece OF country. sit
uated as far from any manufacturing
center as this section Is, has progressed
ns the Northern Neck has IN the past
few years.
This progress is to be seen especially
In Northumberland county. Farms tnat
would have brought from fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars few years
ago, viii bring more than double those
sums now. Tho farms here are steadily
improving as is shown by the larger
Yields made every year. A large class
OF the poor people, who, few years ago
were tenants on poor lands, paying large
rents, now own modest little farms, which
| q: y have improved and from "hlch
| they make a good living
But the improvement OF land Is not the
| only progress this section has made, all
| business ENTERPRISES having also adj
| vanced in size ard wealth. The number
| OF storehouses IN Northumberland has
| more than doubled In the past rev years.
| In the lower part Of tho county. OH the
NNicomico River and Its creeks. are to
! be seen q large number OF lsh guaHo
factories. The number OF these Is being
made larger every year, One of these
built by Messrs Snow g. Fall.n. al this

ty, at every little crossroads village,
within easy reach OF navigable water,
may be seen large canning establish
ments. This Is comparatively nav in
dustry for this section Of the country,
a. few years ago there being hardly a
tomato factory in the whole county,
II has been saiG on good authority that
Northumberland has larger number
of canning houses in successful opera
ton than any other piece OF country OF
"like Size" In the state. The goods canned
by these establishments are pronounce

easily seen by the fact that they COM
n,and the highest prices wherever they
arc sold.
For tho past few weeks an old colcret

a Fable.

Editor OF The Times .Dspatch:
slr,-'Once upon time boy showed
Kindness to a poor. old, dccrepit woman,
who turned out to DO fairy. To reward
the boy for this act Of kindness she gave
him goose that regularly each day LAID
a golden egg. Tho boy, eager to get
rich, ripped open the goose. and In SO
doing destroyed HIS source OF income
and ultimate wealth."
The tobacco trust can and will In all
probability get the present crop OF tobac-

as a rule, Is no fool. and he will turn
his attent ton to tie raising OF other
products. as the South Carolinlan Is going
