hotels, III order that wo may no better

will be II onlye|a part Of those who arc
deeply concerned in tho future and
growth OF our city take tho trouble to
make their opinions known by lending
the support of their presence to this
movement. Every indication shows that
Richmond is on the high road to far
greater prosperity than she has ever en-
joycd before. and the movement of the

Down here in old Virginia we have had
a little touch Of drought, little touch
OF frost. some splendid hog-killing wealth
er and a good deal of real sunny Indian
summer. Just enough of the cool north
west winds have come to make the bright
sunshine all the moro enjoyable and pro-
duce a few crisp frosty mornings that
are healthfut and invigorating. Old Vir-
ginia is great in history, great in states
men, dead and alive, ana great in many
and OF nothing is she prouder than her
glorious and always enjoyable climate.
We often wonder why people will try to
live away up yonder where Jack Frost
is the monarch 'of all her surveys for
seven or eight months in the year. fOf
Connecticut. for instance. the Hartford
Times says:
ia Ok Frost has scaled up the surface
of the ground In this part of the world
with very inadequate amount of mois-l
ture underneath 1t. The result Is that
wells in the country are already run
ming dry in some places, and It is feared
that there will not be cider enough to
last till next haying time. Z
Just think OF 1t: All frost. but little
water left and the cider barrel nearly
empty. That's In Connecticut. It is to
be feared that we virginians do not fully
appreciate all the blessings that are ours.

The Chicago Tribune, which makes a
specially OF keeping up with the crimi-
nal records OF the country, and freely uses
such information to point morals and
adorn tales. reports that there was not
single lynching in the country during
the month of November last. and observes
that thus November, 1904. enjoys tho dis
tinction of being the first full calendar
month to pass without lynching since
1885.

Nashville. Tenn, ought to he and doubt
less is a very happy town. The American,
its leading paper, declares that among
the home loving people OF Nashville there
is less crime than in any city Of It's size
in tho South, or IN the country. Strikes
and riots are not known here, and there
is the greatest cooperation between EN-.
ployers and employees
