Reasons syou should locate In our

First. Our lands lie practically level
and are a. fertile as any In the State
Free from stones, obnoxious weeds
and grasses in most instances. Our
roads, many of them are built and

creasing In value more rapidly than

State. Here il what Is doing 1t: Our
improved highways, number of rail-
roads, electric car lines and our vast

Second. We are near the principal
cities. Petersburg. Richmond and
Norfolk, which afford the best market
In the State. Then. too. our vegeta-
bies and market crops come on the
market from two to three weeks ear
lier than other sections Of the State.

highest market prices for their crops.

We are neither In the extreme warm

there is no Land on earth that re-

there Is so much uncultivated land.

cause we haven't people enough to

have acres and acres that are idle.
that are waiting and waiting for peo-
pie: but they are pouring In every

Then there are other reasons why
so much OF our land has grown up.
You know, we had a war forty-five
years ago. Virginia then was one OF
the grandest States In the Union. But
what happened? The country was de-
stroyed. Take. for example. any State
now that Is all settled and built up

Tidewater Virginia. comprising that
section OF the State lying mainly east
Of q line drawn north and south
through hr capital city-Richmond--
is esteemed By Its residents and by
many non residents also--both figura-
lively and In fact as the garden spot
not only Of Virginia but OF the en-
tire country as well In Justification
of this claim they point with. pride
to Its history. its people. Its splendid
location. superb climate and to iD
magnificent resources of field. Of forest
and OF water.
Historically. they go back to the
days OF John Smith. Of Pocahonfas
and OF the cavaliers. to Jamestown
where English civilization was first
permanently planted In America. and
to wiliiamsburg-to her House OF
gurgesses-where the first faint cry
OF liberty and equality were heard
within her borders; to those immor-
tails. washington. Jefferson and Henry
and 70 their iilustraous compeers. who
by their words, their acts their de-
yotion and their blood, gave both force
and effect to that cry--eiectrifying o
subseryient world By the holiness OF
their challenge to the naughty English
king whose proud minions meeting
their Waterloo At Yorktown, there
surrendered both their liberty and an
empire to the victorious American
army.
or later but OF more sorrowfui
times they speak to you OF Hanp-
ton Roads, Of It's Merrimac, which al
once both revolutiontxed naval war
fare and marked m epoch In the his
tory Of tho world They point with
mingled SORROW and triumph to he's
ood-s0Aked fields from Great Bethel
from Cioscester Point to Sesen Pines;
to the cartAworkS and rine-pits that
yet mar the lands fair bosorn. which
with the lonely graves Of her heroic
dead scattered heee and there. 1t once
monument their heroism and mark the
lines Of their defense In IN unrighteous
and fs~tricidal was the fury Of which
astonished and appalled, the civilized
world.
So much for TidewateTs glorious
past. sxd now what Of its present,
and cf ~ future? The pine trees
now growing upon cArthworks that
once received tho mighty shock Of bat
tie. and h return were shaken BY the
roar Of theif own artillery: the rtne-
pits that onoe sheltered her sons from

with the mingled blood Of friend and

water delicacies---the diamond back
terrApin--make up an unapproachabie
food supply which any resident can
have for its taking, and which only
miilionaires In less favored lands can
enjoy.
Again we ask upon what does Tide
water Virginia rest its hope? Upon
its churches. its schools and the high
moral standard Of its people. stand
ard reared long ago. nurtured ana
guided by the intelligence, piety ana
instincts Of the purest and least mix
ed OF any Anglo-Saxon community In
America: upon her splendid and
health giving climate. modified In the
heat of summer by delightful and al
most constant sea breezes. and robbed
OF the bite and sting of rigorous win
ter by the close proximity of the ocean,
her sounds and her bays, by reason OF
which her two Eastern Shore coun-
ties are placed climatically at least a
hundred miles further south than are
the western shore counties OF the
same latitude.
! Again It Ia asked upon what does
Tidewater'S hope of prosperity rest?
Upon her numerous resorts for both
health and pleasure. and for both
winter and summer--reoorts scatter
ed here and there ali along her surf
beaten shores, where thousands OF
happy, prosperous people throng every
season, for health. for pleasure or
for profit: upon her splendid forests
from which niiltons Of feet of lum-
Der are annually cut and marketed.
and In which yet more millions stand
awaiting the stroke of the Woodlands
axe Of the generations yet to come;
upon her millions OF acres of broad
fields, Of pasture, and of truck lands,
all together representing soil SO
varied and yet % responsive to the
intelligent husb&ndman's touch. that
all live stock. all fruits, all grains.
grasses and vegetables grow anywhere
In the temperate zone, thrive and are
grown In abundance. Upon what does
Tidewaters hopes rest. did you say
Upon the broad zelda OF wheat. Of
corn, OF alfalfa, Of clover. Of grass, OF
the great valleys OF the James. the
York. the Rappahannock and Poto-
mac, which with their adjacent up
lands annually pour wealth Of pro-
ducts into the marts OF the great
cities Of the country. and right here
how could we fail to mention the
truck fields, the fruit and melon
patches Of lower Tidewater--of the
Eastern Shere--fiefds always green
with growing market crops--always
astfr with iife--with the shouts and
giee OF happy and busy workers, with
the rattle Of the truckers carts. and
with the sounds OF swift moving
trains, fields from which one hundred
to ono thousand dollars worth per
acre are taken yearly, and with the
products OF which thousands Of trains
and hundreds upon hundreds OF ships
are packed to be carried and sold In
the markets OF the worlds great cities
of San Francisco, of Toronto, of
