"WHEN LOVE IS DEAD"

When love is dead draw thou the lat
tice close,
Shut out the world. with all its blare
and din:
Rain down the petals of the faded rose,
Lest pity enter in.
When love is dead weave thou a check
cred pail
Of broken promises and faith unkept,
And in the twilight when soft dews fall
Thy heart shall know Love wept.
The bee shall drown his homely, hum
ming note
Upon thine ear, until the day shall
pass;
The woodbird shall reproach thee3 from
the moat,
And things that throng the grass.
A little child shall look with wondering
eye
Into thine own, and greet thy smile
with tears:
A butterfly with ghostly wings shall
die.
And haunt thee through the years.
Virginia Frazier Boyle.

PEARLS FROM THE SHELLS.

l am not discouraged by mystery in
religion. By faith alone can man
attempt the impossible: If you keep
on putting into practice the Bible pre-
cepts that you do understand you will
be kept so busy that you'll have no
time to worry about what you don't un-
derstand. .-WM. j. Bryan.
We have no right to disbelieve any
thing in world where so many won
derful and curious things are constantly
happening. When steam ships cross the
ocean in four days, keeping in constant
wireless communication all the time.
Why do we believe in supernatural
things when so much natural wonder is
all around us. Some are i'll natured
and some are good natured-I can't see
how anyone can be ill natured in this
sweet world, but there's lots of things
l can't see. Buster Brown.
There is an expression in the face OF
good married man who has good
wife, that a bachelors face cannot
possess. 1t is indescribable. He is a
little nearer the angels than the hand
soonest young fellow living. You car

MUST RAISE THE PRICE.

Must the dollar weekly increase the
price to 81. so? asks the Almont mich
Herald. This is a question being con-
sidered by 3 large majority OF the
weekly newspaper man. Print paper,
used for newspapers, took jump
about April from SIPS to $50 per
hundred, and this on top Of gradual
rise during the past five years. Type
could be purchased in 1889 at 29c. per
pound, but now it is SOC. Practically
every other article that goes into the
making up of a newspaper, including
labor, is higher, yet the old price one
dollar remains unchanged. This was
made years ago, when prices were
lower than those quoted above, and
something must be done to meet the
added expenses. For years the sub
scribers have been getting these one
dollar-per-year papers for less than the
cost of production, advertising paying
the deficiency, thus leaving in the aver
age print shop only the job depart
ment as profit maker, and many
times the profit in that source is now
needed in making ends meet. - Hartman

And whistling and free are the rushing

But o, to get back so hard and long.
Easy as told in Arabian tale,
To free from his jar the evil spirit,
Till he rises like smoke to stupendous

But o, nevermore, can we prison him

Easy as told in an English tale,
To fashion Frankenstein, body and

Easy to drift to the seat of doubt,
Easy to hurt what we cannot heal,
Easy to rouse what we cannot scothe,
Easy to speak what we do not feel,
Easy to show what we ought to con-
ceal,
Easy to think that fancy is fate,
And o, the wisdom that comes too late.

A little incident last spring that was

SOME NOTES
Of Interest TO Truckers, Farmers
and Stock RaiSerS.

The Virginia Agricultural & Mechan-
ical College offers for the first time a
free winter course for farmers them
selves. There are no conditions of age
OR education, young men and old are
both wanted. There will be practical
courses in agriculture, horticulture,
animal husbandry and dairying. This
winter course lasts three weeks and is
mainly demonstration just what the
practical farmer or dairyman needs.

Blacksburg, Virginia. for an announce

t. w. Wood G Sons, the well known
Seedsmen of Richmond, Va, have been
awarded the highest prize-gold med
al given by the jamestown Exposi-
tion. The exhibit has attracted atten-
tion from the opening day Of the Ex-
position, and will continue to attract
attention of farmers and gardeners.
Some features of the exhibit are: cow
peas, clover and grass seeds known to
the soils of the south and west, seeds
of forage plants throughout the coun-
try, cotton seeds, corn and large
collection of seeds from all parts of the
world. The catalogues and other pub
lications issued from time to time by
this enterprising and energetic firm
have long been noted for the correct
and valuable information which they
give in regard to the different crops,
and large share of the credit is due
to them for the encouragement of the
diversification of crops and the increas-
ed attention now paid to grass and clo-
yer culture throughout the South.
is AFTER TOMATO PACKERS.
1t is well-known fact that after
much cropping" on the same land
tomato fruit looses its color and flavor.
Man has not yet learned what ingre-
dent is necessary to return to the soil
what is extracted to produce color and
flavor. Hence, in some parts of the
country, packers have had to resort to
chemicals in packing to assist impov-
erished nature. We of the Northern
Neck have not gotten to that stage yet,
so the recent stringent rules for next
year issued by the u. S. Department
of Agriculture are merely of passing
interest.
The Department has been analyzing
the output Of canneries in the western
part of this State and in other States,
with the result that next year tomato
Gamers will have to discontinue the use
of benzoate Of soda in the packing of
tomatoes.
DR.. Wiley asserts that the use of
the benzoate is harmful, while the can
ners claim that it is not deleterious to
health. 1t is claimed by many pack
ers of tomatoes and manufacturers of
catsup that they are compelled to use
the chemical in order that their product
may not spoil in the can or bottle.
The Department will allow the use of
benzoate this season; that is, tomatoes
and catsup of 1907 pack which contain
it will not be seized nor the manufac-
turers prosecuted. But none must be
used next year.
