We did not under estimate your taste

is one of exceeding qualification to us,

as matter of course, these marks of
such general public favor AMI
pass in silence the generous patronage
which so amply rewarded our efforts
to please. We therefore take this
method of returning our thanks to the

Rev. Or. G. W. Finley Ill in Baltimore.

The friends of DR.. Geo. w. Finley,
the pastor of Thinking Spring church,
have been much concerned during
the week by the unexpected announce
ment that he had undergone serious
operation for an internal trouble. He
attended the meeting of Stonewall
jackson camp on Dec. 18th, apparent
ly in excellent health, taking all &C
tive part, as an officer of the camp, in
the proceedings. At the next meeting
Jan. I'd, bis condition was such that
special prayer was offered in bis be-
half. The operation was performed at
Union hospital, Baltimore, last Friday
and was a prOtracted one, he being on
the table three hours. But he rallied
well, showing unusual vitality. On
Saturday be wrote few hopeful words
to a Staunton friend, and on Monday
wrote to bis daughter at home, saying
that he was getting along well. On
Wednesday his sou in-law, Dr.. A. L..
Tynes, again heard from him and
phoned to friend here that he wa
doing we'll and his physician, DIR. Hugh
Trout, late of this city, asserts that
he sees no reason why he should not
fully recover. These reports are quite
reassuring to many anxious friends.

Wealth in the South

Under the above head line appeared
a strong editorial in the Philadelphia
Press, SO eminently fair and friendly
towards the Southern States that We
re. produce it. The article reads as
follows:
No other part of the United States is
taking longer strides forward than the
section which once made up the Con
federacy In the race for wealth the
Southern farmer is abreast of the
Western granger and the Northern
manufacturer. He Is no longer ham
pered by poverty or tradition. From
all over the South come reports of ex-
banding industries.
1t is computed that farm properties
In the eleven States that once seeded
from the Union have risen in value
more than billion dollars In two years.
The average yield of these lands since
this century began is 5000, 000,0 a
year greater than it was In the preced-
grows cotton for the world. but man
ages the marketing of it. The spec
ulatOr, who once got all the cream,
gets it no longer. The planter is strong
| enough to fight his own battle, which
means that he can defend bis own pro
perty.
1t is forty years since the downfall
oil the Lost Cause There have been
many sore trials during these four de-
cades. Paralyzed industries. bankrupt
railroads, lack of capital and to GER
| tain extent bitter recollection, COM
bined to make distress widespread.
Happily, these conditions are now
wholly changed. Southern mills. fac
| tories and farms are as prosperous to
day as those in any other section OF
the country. What is the best of all
| the last shred of resentment toward
the N orth seems to have disappeared
and the Southern States stand out al
happy, loyal Commonwealth, which
lock to the future and not to the past
