FIX PRICES.

The Richmond papers tell Us tina.
there is Oncern among the tobacco
buyers Of that city by reason Of the fac.
that farmers who raise tobacco are de.
termined to fix the selling price Of the
tweed" The tobacco buyer fixes his
price, the merchant, the mechanic, the
lawyer, the doctor, the farm laborer,
and why not the tobacco grower ?
Is he sinner above other men
that be should be deprived Of or.
binary business privileges He ought
to be as free a. the rest Of US, and the
mere fact that he asserts his freedom
should not be the occasion Of any par
ticular mental cOmmotiOn.
Making tobacco is hard work and if
there can be profit in it by fixing prices
then by all mean let the good work
go On. The farmer, we presume
would be allowed TO quit raising to-
baccO altogether and IL he could exer.
else the privilege Of denying the world
the luxury Of "chsw" and a smoke,
he will be accorded the right Of
what the world shall pay for
these luXuries.
Fix the price and fix it high enough
to secure a living. This is not only
right but righteous.

RIGHT HAND HELP.

When Peter had spoken the word o
Dealing 10 the impotent mar he eX
tended 10 him his right hand To assis
him in rising to his feet. Surely thi
particular Incident has been put on
record for our profit. The good adj.
vice Is wholesome, the eloquent ser
mon all desirable but il the helpful
teacher and the gifted preacher wer,
TO follow their work with hearty
warm hand grasps how much NOR,
effective the work would be. The pol
itician who knows how to meet anC
greet the people on the court green, in
their places Of business and at their
homes becomes the popular idol.
The teacher who has a word Of cheer
for the boys play ground will do most
TO inspire ambition and incite to larger
efforts.
The commander who gets into closest
touch with his men will be most as
sured Of victory in the hour OF battle
The business man who opens the day
with courteous recognition Of his su-
bordinates will be most apt to have
something better than eye service.
The man who would have friends
must show himself friendly, and the
cordial hand grasp is one Of the most
effective ways Of conveying cordial
recognition. The gifted ID. DIS who
confine their efforts to study and pull
pit may make reputation but they
fail in reaching the hearts Of men.
Little children may look upon those
the world calls great with awe, but the
great man who takes them by the
hand wins their love.
Christ took little children into his
and blessed them, and the ser
want who initiates the master will be
most like him in doing good.
We were very much impressed re-
when the leader Of a religious
meeting dismissed the audience by say
ing. You will turn to the man next

your name and get his"
II you have not been in the habit Of

prosecute it vigorously.

TIE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

the desolatiOn so indicative OF
death rather than of splendid birth?

homestead where they were born to
rebuild the falling walls and restore
the waste places, and shall not free and
