IN out for a week and live in tho WoodS..
He will come home hungry, perhaps, sun
burned and foot sore, certainly with blis-
tered hands and tired muscle, but with

drawn direct from the heart Of nature.

Cupeper Is to have al old home week
celebration at Little Fork OH August
17th-sith. 1904. The object, as stated In
teemed Charlotte Observer an entertain
u circular recently sent out, Is to bring
together as many as possible OF the
former residents OF that neighborhood
who are now living elsewhere, aand we.
have no doubt that it will be an occa-
sion of great interest This custom ltas
long been in vogue in New England and
wo have time and again urged upon inc
people of Virginia to adopt it, Few
states In the Union In proportion to pop
ulation have as many sons and daughters
living outside the borders as the State of
Virginia, and 1t would be a. fine thing
to issue each year an invitation to the
absent ones to come back and meet their
relatives and friends There ls a prac-
tical side also, Such occasions would
doubtless be the means Of bringing back
permanently TO tho mother State desra-
BILE children who have wandered away.
We are glad that culpeper has taken the
initiative. and we hope that other coun-
ties will follow tho example. II the
old home week shall prove to be sue
cessful in the country, It may be that
Richmond will by and by invite her abb
sont sons and daughters TO come home
and make merry.
