Farmers Alliance Finsco.
Several years ago the Farmers Alli-
ence throughout the country organized
stores and warehouses to carry on
business similar to the plan you sug-
gest, and II was "a complete failure.
The farmers lost all they put into
the business and a few sharkers reaped
a little benefit for a short period, and
the warehouses are now owned by pri-
waite individuals.
AT the time the Farmers Alliance
was organized cotton was worth 10
cents pound, and the alliance was
formed to fix a price of 70 cents for
the value of the cotton crop, and Il was
only few years after that time that
cotton was down TO 5 cents"

The New YORK Herald, probably

In the Democratic column next

William r. Hearst will be nomi-
mated to succeed himself as Repre-

Judge Parker was instrumental in
suppressing the opposition which had
arisen to the candidacy of Mr.. Hearst,
and getting Tammany to consent to
the nomination of his most active OPP
ponent for the Presidential nomina-
ton.
If Mr.. Montague is sincerely and
unselfshly DESTROYS to serve the
cause Of Democracy this year, he
should betake himself to West Vir-
ginia or to Indiana where the sick
have need of a physician, and not
waste his time in Virginia, where the
whole have no need of a physician.
The duties of the gubernatorial
Office do not seem to weigh
heavily upon him, and they
could be laid aside as easily for
work In the fields where work is
needed, as they are now laid aside
for work in field where no work is
needed in the interest Of Democratic
success. For the good Of the general
cause of Democracy, the Governor
should be willing to forego any Incl

ACCORDING to the Farmville
Herald man the 'simmon crop south

our southside friends are to have a
mild winter. In this corner of our
"morsl heritage" there is no dearth
of persimmons. Ergo, we are to
have a severe winter. Wild fruits
In abundance has long been held as
an omen of severe weather, bnt like
all signs it fails about as often as it
strikes. We of Underwater have a

to the temper of the coming winter.
Everywhere the past summer has
been comparatively a cool one; mother
Earth has had little opportunity to
get real warm. This is also true of
water as of land; the sea water with
us has not been overhot this summer.
We conclude, therefore, that unless
the southerly winds preponderate
this winter we are to have an excep-
tionally cold one, and "freeze up."
This condition as to the water was
noticed last fall, and a severe winter
followed.

NOT A Hoo-Doo YEAR.


With this, the beginning of our
fourteenth year, we have no fulsome
batteries to deliver towards ourselves.
We are just living and working along
IN the same old way that has brought
success to the VIRGINIA CITIZEN
from the year of its birth. We simply
throw out "God speed" to our readers,
and encourage them by telling them
that the past year has been the most
prosperous In the history of their
local paper; We have added some two
hundred new subscribers to our roll.
Although We had thought this diff
ficult feat-eyerybody pretty much
in this lower Northern Neck already
reading the OITIzEN-yet it was
accomplished with very little solicit
ting.
Just as We are penning this very
encouraging letter is received from
40 army officer in distant land, an
extract from which it will not be
amiss to incorporate here. Since we
will not fatter ourselves it can be nc
shock to modesty to occasionally sing
out some cheering words our patrons
frequently send us. Writing to the
editor this officer says, among Other
things: 'I have just received the
CITIZEN and read the news in gen,
eral. Your resumes of the war in
the east are excellent. 1 think th,

In that direction. You would have

better, a strategic expert willing to
take long chance if necessary"
We note this compliment upon our
compilation of the interesting war
doings because it is quite gratifying
TO us. As rule the casual reader
rarely stops to think what effort is
put forth to produce an article.
Sometimes squib of five lines is the
product of a column of reading
matter that the editor has had to
digest and then condense. Our
war columns are as the cotton bales
from the press; flood of raw ma
terial has been gathered during the
week, whole day spent in re-read-
ing, cutting, erasing and adding to
for brevity's sake, and then, after
being made up, again read over, con-
licensed a little more yet, and twice
afterward read upon proof sheets and
put into such shape as the reader
finds it in the CITIZEN. A city
editor asked us few DAYS since who
did our war work and how it was
7 one. Upon informing him he ear
Testify declared that the CITIZENS
readers were blessed in having
one to winnow the wheat from the
chat for them; that with the daily
paper they took all as it came and
all went into type, and result of
4S hours reading and editing left
the mind befuddled and in doubt as
to where the war was sat" and
whether it was true or not that bat
ties were really being fought.
