AUTUMN IN OLD VIRGIN-EE,
GEORGE GOWEN,
MATHEWS. VA.

When the goldenrods are blowing
And the leaves are changing hue;
When the autumn is glowing
Golden fields and skies of blue;
When the wind is signing sweetly
Through the leaves that soon will fall;
When tine hand of nature deity
Holds the woodland ways in thrall;
When a sweet and mellow softness
Makes the earth p ace sumblime
That we never think to notice
In the good old summer time;
When the muscadines are hanging
Darby clustered on the vine;
When the ripened grain is cinging
'Bove the pumpkins golden rind;
When The hazenuts are browning
And the chestnuts start to fall;
When the hickory nuts are sounding
AS they answer breczes' call;
When persimmons, Jack Frost sweetened
Hang attempting you and me
Same as the unwary 'possom
In the tall persimmon tree,
Where the Negroes to find him
When he takes his old dog out
With a view of 'tatered 'possom
That we hear so much about:
When you take it altogether.
Placing two and two YOU see
Well, it's come the good old Autumn

The Love Letters of a
Confederate General

We begin in the November issue
series of real love-letters written
over fifty years ago by one of our
national heroes to his sweetheart dur
ing the period of 81 to '65. This
great general will go down to pOstert-
ty as having accomplished one of the
most brilliant feats of arms in the
history Of the world. He was as
great a lover as he was a general,
therefore these letters combine au-
thentic history and exquisite ro'
nance. They sound a human note
that no other work of literature has
done in a decade; it is war, it is ro-
nance, it is history, it is literature.
You simply can't afford to miss this
wonderful series-an inside story Of
the Civil War now published for the
first time and containing all the
freshness of a contemporary happen
ing. These letters will grip you hard
and hold your interest from first TO
last. Fill out the coupon and send
il now before you forget it.

WILL ORGANIZE TROOP OF BOY
SCOUTS.

Mr.. o. H. Briedenbach, principal
Of the Julius Freyhan High School,
has interested a number of the boys
of st. Francisville and Bayou Sara
in the Boy Scout movement, and on
next Monday will take the prelimlna-
~ steps toward organizing a local
troop
This is recognized as a worthy
movement and Prof. Briedenbach
should receive ready cooperation
from the boys and their parents.
While scouts are taught reverence,
the order is non-sectarian, and non.
military. Before a boy becomes a
scout he must promise: "On my hon.
or l will do my best: 1. To do my
duty to God and my country, and to
obey the scout law; 2. To help 9th.
er people at all times; 8. To keep
myself physically strong, mentally
awake and morally straight"
There is a call for the scout move
ment because the boys in our mod
ern life, and especially in our cities
and villages, do not have the chance,
as did the boys of the past, most Of
whom grew up in the country, to be-
come strong, self-reliant, resourceful
and helpful, and to get acquainted
with nature and outdoor life, without
special guidance and training. There
fore this movement brings the boys
together in patrols and troops, and
seeks to cultivate in them courage,
loyalty, patriotism, fellowship, self
control, courtesy, kindness to animals,
usefulness, cheerfulness, cleanliness,
thrift, purity and honor. 1t believes
that with such training American boysI
Will, as men, be leaders in progress,
peace, and all things right and good. |

SHIPPING BEANS.

The Truck Growers Association
made the first bean shipments of
the season this week and up to
Thursday night had shipped nearly
400 crates. While enough time has
not elapsed for the shippers to have
received returns from their product,
they believe, according to the market
quotations, that they are going to do
very well, and that they have discoV-
cred another way to put a crimp in
the boil weevil.
The growing of beans in this Sec

will be watched for with interest. In
dications are that there will be about
