A Sentimental Journey

The little town of Stanton, where
Woodrow Wilson was horn, is pretty, \
progressive and prosperous community
In the Valley Of ViglEia, in the heart
of q rich agricultural region, which
became famous during the Civil War
as the theatre of many great events.
Itifssnot to be supposed that Staunton is
unused togreatneas. For more than a
century it has been noted for its refined
and cultured society, and during that
time has numbered many men OF brill
liant intellect in it's citizenship. Tie
roll OF its great lawyers for many years
was wonderful one for SO small
place, and its bar INCLUDED names that
were known throughout the country.
It's fine section for q man to be born
in, to live in, to die in. 1t is the sort
of section which lends itself naturally
to the breeding Of great men. The early
settlers in then remote and hostile
region were necessarily men of special
daring and determination. The Scotch
Presbyterian strain, which was on its
native heath in this mountain country,
gave additional strength and individual
ity Of character to population made
up Of many peculiarly strong elements.
Staunton breathed the air of freedom
and independence frem its birth, and
such an environment might well have
| al appropriate inheritance of mind and
spirit. Not many miles away is Lex
ington, where General Lee passed the
Closing years of greatsllfe, and where
| Stunewal Jackson, thgt grim Presby-
tp ian, taught tn Virginia military
cad is before he went forth to teach
tbs, world new lessons in the art of war
No wonder Governor Wilson is
zen husiasticn about the home coming
fes t'yities which the good people Of
Staaaton are preparing for him. Every
man loves to revisit his birthplace, but
there are few who can go bachto their
| cra Il. town as President acct, And
there are few who can sOfbacl to quite
so disting uished a EIDE city as the chief
tow Of Auesata The country will
yatt - ,aisfh pleasure this Sentimental
Tourney, and will feel q new and warm
er lap 1ise of good will toward the
fa,,a'als son of Staunton in this revela-
tion OF softer and tenderer phase of
| chafuc ..r. Sun.

ReportoriaI Recklessness.

Col. McGraw has found It
necessary to publicly refute GER
tain statements which have been
appearing in the State Press to
the effect that he has been act
lively chasing a Cabinet portfolio.
We have no knowledge as to
the reason for, or source of these
statements, but it doesn't seem
to. accord with the ethics of
Journalism to weave romances,
calculated to reflect on the good
taste and motives of the party
involved, and to with apparent
Reconsideration locate him in
one town when he is in another,
and have him comforting with
parties he hasn't seen for weeks.
That is news paper enterprise
of 4 dubious sort.
Few people having any con-
ception of the conUenanees of poll
tics would give such reports
credence.
Doubtless the detailed accounts.
of S enator Watson's quest Of an
Embassy have about as muck
basis in fact. as the other yarns,
recently promulgated.

Hats OF 10 Tom Steck!

When Tom Steck of the Win
chester neighborhood won the
fifteen hundred dollar silver cup
at the New York Land Show the
other day, for the best EXHIBIT
Of apples grown East of the
Mississippi. he not only did him
self proud but performed a SPLEEN
did service for this entire sec
ton, which will benefit to the
extent of many times the value
Of the prize offered, by this adj
verfisement of its resources.
We are confident that if the
competition had been thrown
open to the entire country that
Mr.. Steck would just as have
easily distanced all Corners for
while the North West exeels IN
the attractiveness and uniformity
ofits packsas result of intelligent
marketing cooperation, wfe1s it
comes down to the fundamental
qualities, apples grown in tile
Virginias easily take the World s
premium.
It Is an admitted fact now that
in flGuor especially, our fruit is
incdmparable, and When grow
ers show the same care in cnlti-
walton, fertilization. pruning j,
spraying i. grading and packing
as did Mr.. Steck, they will soon
begin TO realize that while poor
fruit is often times drug on the
market, hardly paying transpor-
tation charges, fancy fruit wiAI
dlwGys bring fancy prices, any year,
euery year.
Henceforth, Mr.. Steck will not
have to seek buyers. They will
seek him and pay his price, not
he theirs.
Elsewhere we publish an art1-
Gle from the Winchester Star on
this subject, by its Editor, Mr..
II. E. Byrd-than whom few
have done more teaad1ance the
interests of the orchardists OF
this section by intelligent pub
iicity.
In contrasting the merits OF
Frederick with those Of its neigh
boring counties, Mr.. Byrd while
pointing out its advantages, with
excellent judgment does not
make any claim to superiority
for the orchard lands of his coun.
~ oyer those of Jefferson.
When our fruit growers vii
have learned that quality and
