II is a rare thing that such high class

a town Of this size. The piano selec-

be called perfect in technique and he
is in high sence Of the word an artist.

Tobacco Association Congratulated.

Edifor Hcr0id. 1t seems that new
life has recently taken hold Of the
Tobacco Association. We are reliably
informed that more than 100000 lbs.
of tobacco passed through the Asso-
citation factory IN one week and prices
obtained were entirely satisfactory.
We believe that the success Of this
season over last il due almost entirely
To the mode Of disposing Of the tobac-
co. As we understand, the tobacco is
delivered i'm the loose OF green state
aud BUYERS are invited to come to the
factory where the manager and buyer
agree upon prices, and the tobacco is
then delivered to the buyer The
Regie government is a large buyer
The old method Of packing the Asso-
ciation tobacco and holding for higher
prices proved to he a failure. The
managers Of the Association are profit
| ing by the mistake Of packing or prlz-
ING the tobacco and have adopted the
moro successful method Of selling II
/ loose
Ills To the credit of the Tobacco As
ISOLATION, and its members are to be
commended. that however oppressed
they may have felt by the very low
nrices of tobacco, and however anx-
ious they were to obtain higher prices
and better their condition, they never
for once thought of resorting to such
diseraceful, uncivilized and cowArdly
measures a now prevail in portions
of Kentucky and Tennessee.
We believe the success OF the VIZ
pinia Tobacco association will be due
entirely to the method Of selling the
tobacco i'm the loose and green state,
and not to pack or prize and TO be
stored i'm warehouses where interest
insurance and storage will soon alb
,orb all the all the profits.
Take courage, brother farmers, and
remember that "doubt never con-
amor, Exercise that God given
nrinciple "faith." Take hold Of the
opnortunities that are now knocking
at vour door aud success will crown
vour efforts. y

DO II Yourself.

D0not ask the teacher or some class
mate 20 solve the hard problem. DO
10 yourself. You might as well let
him est your dinner a. edo your sums

ing he who does il gets the benefits,
and not he who sees IL done. In al
most any school, the teacher learns
more than the best scholars, simply
because the teacher j. compelled 10

lent pupils DO not ask your teacher

ask even hint from any one Try

ity and you will finally succeed by
dint Of the very wisdom and strength
gained in the effort, even though, at
first, the problem was beyond your
skill. II is the study, and not the
answer, that really rewards your labor.
Look at that boy VIII, hiss just sacceed-
ed. after four hours Of hard study.
How his large eye is lit up with

lie had tried his last thot; but new
thot strikes him, and he ponders the
last process lie tries once more, and
succeeds; and now mark the air Of

pronounces ais demonstration. His
poor, weak school-mate, who gives mp
that same problem after his first trial,
now looks up TO him with something
of a wonder, Is a superior being. And
he is his superior That problem lies
there, great gulf between those boys
who stood side by side yesterday. The
boy who did IL for himself has taken
stride upward, and what is better still
