Who has not seen when travelling by
rail marked on fences and sometimes
on railway station the curious words
"A. No. y" This was the sprivate
mark of the greatest tramp the world
has ever known, and who boasted
that he had no home. At last "A
No. /" has found resting place, for
he was recently killed at Houston,
Texas, while riding beneath the cars.
Thousands of young men and boys
will remember this tramp by his genial
and good-natured advice to them to
remain at home and under no condi-
tion or circumstances to forsake the
"old folks at home. "A No. 1"
was but tramp, but if his words have
been the means of keeping young men
under the parental roof until such time
as they are able to make a living for
themselves, who will say that he lived
his life in vain?-Greenville Times.

of these farms is equipped with build
ings, machinery, etc, to the average
value of 81, 900, so that the average
farmer is not only a small capitalist
but is also laborer, working on the
property which he owns. Assuming
that each farmers family averages
six. there is farming community in
this country of over thirty millions,
or one-third of the entire population.

We are accustomed, IN America, to
look upon the English criminal courts
as examples of what is possible in the
way of convicting the guilty under a
system giving the law better chance
than it has in America, and giving the
criminal less rope. " Yet Virginia,
with a system no better than that OF
other states, subject to the same caus-
es of weakness, manages to convict
criminals with encouraging regularity.
Whatever the causes may be, the
success of Virginia courts in furnishing
guilty persons constitutes an adver-
tisement of the state of Virginia that
reaches from coast to coast and even
to other countries, and cannot fail to
interest persons who read it.-Louis-
Vile Courer-J ournal.

Inquiries at the government depart
ments reveal the fact that the value of
American farm land is now over forty
one billion dollars, an increase in value
of twenty one billion dollars IN twenty
years. There are over six million
farms, covering close to nine hundred
million acres. A large majority of
these farms are worked by their own
ers, the small farmer, who number in
round figures over five million voters.
These farmers form the largest single
class of voters in the United States.
