GARDEN OF EDEN
Beauties of the Shenandoah Valley
Described

From the Bloomington (Ill.) Daily
Pantagraph;
IL YOU want a first-class antidOte
for the blues, or for a feeling OF des-
pondency on account of the drouth
burning up the corn or oats crop of
Illinois, just call on Neal Senseney,
no has Just returned from a visit
to the Shenandoah Valley of Virgin
ia. 1t won't take much to get him
started talking, and before he has
talked two minutes he will make
your mouth water with tales of the
riches of pature's bounty in that
fair and famous valley.
Mr.. Senseney does not claim to
have ever visited the original Gar
den Of Eden, but if.he had ever done
SO he could not use more glowing
terms to describe it's magnihcence
OF scenery and the luxurious fruit
fulness, than he does in telling his
friends about the present conditions
along the Shenandoah today. There
has been no drouth there, evident
ly, and grains and fruits are fairly
burdening the earth with their
bountiful yield. He said that the
orchards of the valley alone will
bring the land owners and farmers
immense riches this year. He
tells of passing orchard after or
chard where the trees are already
breaking down from the weight of
the fruit He himself made a rough
estimate OF the value of the apple
crop of the valley and placed it at
So, 600, 600
Not only in telling of the abund-
ance o. the earth product does Mr..
Senseney go into ecstacies, but also
in speaking of the glorious scenery
of the far-famed Shenandoah Valley.
No other place on earth, he thinks.
is so fair to look uppn. The sun
shine of the valley and its lazy, hazy
atmosphere sheds an influence over
the beholder which he can never
forget, when ce he has felt its
charm.
Mr.. Senseney lived in that region
as boy and tramped up and dow Il
the valley as a soldier in his young
manhood. He often pays visits
back to the Old Dominion, AMI on
each trip his enthusiasm for the
Shenandoah is rekindled. The
spark hardly dies out from one visit
to another. This year it glows with
an unusual brilliancy.

ADVERTISEMENT UNIQUE
The Late C. C. Baldwin Inserted
Interesting Card in Paper
PECULIAR OFFER TO PUBLIC
Decidedly Pecuriary, Egotistic and
Little Professional

An old Valley Sta" OF May, lS4o.
published in Lexington, was handed
us few days ago by Mrs Emma G.
Dold. The more than half-a-century
old paper was under the editorial
management OF Mr.. James G. Pax
ton and Mr.. Samuel Gillock was the
publisher.
Many items OF local news appeared
IN the paper, but the most striking
article is reading notice from Mr.
Q. c. Baldwin, who was at one time
editor of THE GAZETTE His notice
appears under the caption used at
the head of this article. and is as
follows:

as speedily as possible, it gives
me the highest qualification to con
vey to all persons in the county Of

invitation to present them, with all
convenient despatch, for the mutu-
ally agreeable purposes of adjust
ment and payment. This is the pc
cuniary part of this advertisement;
now for the egotistical.

Crops are Now on the Increase in
Virginia

Governor Mann is optimistic as
to the agricultural and industrial
future of Virginia, and with good
reason. The live men OF the State,
with the guidance OF experts of the
Department of Agriculture, expect,
the Governor stated in speech at
Charlottesv on Friday, to in
crease the corn crop within the
next four years by 100 per cent.
Better methods will double the corn
crop. Not only So, but other crops
will feel the dint of intelligence and
science, making Virginia's revenue
from agriculture $4OO, 600, 900 a year
instead OF $50, 0OO,O With in
creased prosperity will come in
creased demand for road reform and
the means of securing it.
Virginia has magnificent resour-
ces and possibilities. 1t grows in
wealth rapidly and is entering up
on a period of enhanced develop
ment. Its population has grown
since 1880 from l,512, $50 to over ,,
600, 900; it's property valuation from
$707, 100000 to 1000. 900, 900. In
cotton manufacture, pig iron, coke,
lumber cut, mineral product, coal
mined, banks ADD schools it has
made in the period named enormous
progress. It's resources are only
beginning to be appreciated. With
security for capital and favorable
conditions generally, the Old Dom
inion can not fail to win place
among the leaders in material prog
ress during the com ng decade.
Brief Sketch of Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton,
who is about to break into politics,
is a Democrat of the Grover Cleve-
land type so far as honesty of pur-
pose and political ideals go, said
a long time admirer of the distin-
guishe1 educator, in the Birming-
ham Herald, but he is naturally
more academic than Mr.. Cleveland.
Woodrow Wilson was born in
Staunton, Va, but when he was
only two years of age his parents re-
moved to Augusta, and in the latter
city he grew upand attended school
until he was ready for Princeton.
He took the law course at the Uni
versity of Virginia and practiced q
year in Atlanta from the summer of
1882 until the summer of 1888. He
then went to Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in Baltimore, and there
studied political science and the

mind and the trained band to grasp
it. 1t is the plain duty and the
high privilege of the State to foster
this kind OF training.
1t is sound economic policy to
train our youth in those arts that
will develop taxable values, contri-
butte to individual wealth and guar
antee the material prosperity of the
people.
Primary School System
Most significant of all is the won
derful growth and expansion of the
primary school system. This is the
crux of the whole situation. 1t is
the most important factor and the
most hopeful sigu in the entire
record of our educational achieve
ment. The entire South has in the
last decade been passing through a
far-reaching and remarkable renais-
sance of primary education. The
masses are stirred IS never before.
Legislatures are devoting more
time to this subject than to any
other. Huge sums of money are be-
ing appropriated. The local tax is
being increased to help in hasten
ing the day when every boy and
girl Shall have the chance to attend
a nine-month school. under u train
ed teacher, in respectable school
building. amid proper surround
ings. The ideal has not yet been
attained. But the South is moving
rapidly. Virginia is moving rapid.
". The goal will be reached, lei
us hope, in this generation.
Thus, briefly. have mentioned
some of the things in our present
educational history that cause good
men everywhere to rejoice. Vir-
GINA has passed through the hard
days of her educational life. She
has, with supreme fortitude, en-
dured this hardship as q good sol
der. She pledges her future to re
newed conservation to the great
ideal OF duty to high ends that has
always dominated her life-au ideal
that has enabled her to weather
each historic danger that has mark
ed her progress forward and under
which, please God, she will con
tinue TO mount and ride the waves.
