CORN BREAD.

One of the greatest crops in the
South is the corn crop. or Indian
maize. as IT is called in all the old
study hooks. Very marked advances
have been made in recent years in in :
crossing the yield OF this valuable ce-
real. Last year the total corn crop OF
tho United states aggregated 2,6AS.-
$4,000 bushels, think Of IL! and more
than 20. 100000 bushels were raised in
Virginia. AT fifty cents the bushe,.
this crop was worth 10 the state
about s25.oo0,Ooo. and II was far bet.
ter corn than could have been bought
from any one of tho Western states.
The wonder is that the consump ton
of corn for human food is not greater
inf Virginia than any of the other CO.
reals grown. Instead, however. OF
living on the pure food of the fields,
we affect the stuff that ia manufac-

thing or other to this most nutritious
of all the grains grown in our fertile
fields.

There has been a great deal of talk
in the Northern newspapers about the
observance of the Fourth of July.
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, has de-
termined to suppress the sale of the
more dangerous kind of explosives, and
we are told by the Troy Times that a
safe and sane Fourth is gaining friends
every day. For years there has been,
after the celebration of this event. o
long list of persons who have been IN

arrangements will be made in some OF
the more sensible communities up North
for the little boys and girls to take
part In the proceedings by tho recita-
ton of patriotic pieces and by inno-
cent shouts and merriment all to the
greater glory of the day we celebrate.
BY this means it is expected that VAL

the cashier. was killed. Many other
