Against Age

Every now and then note convention of
"octogenarians" Brave old men of a community
or a state come together In convention and make

a very fine spirit of defiance against the arch
enemy. They laugh death in the face chortle
over Jokes, make Jest Of their own inirmities
and in exhilaratiug way, declare the pre-
eminence of the spirit over the debility of the
body.
such occasions. however, are but a stand If
the odd guard foolish, brave. but magnificent.
We smile at them through happy tears at the
inheritance which they imply.
But do not these conventions Of the octoge-
ma rians suggest something OF those who, yet
young in years, have the feeling of age? What
about young conventions of those in the forties?
Why not everywhere gather together for re-
affirmation of youth annual meeting or those
who have felt themselves yielding to the impulse

Farmers, BLESSINGS.

The year 1913 Is now drawing to close, so
far the agricultural interests of the country
are concerned While in certain parts of the
country 1t has been too dry for the best yields,
yet on the whole it has been a great year for
the farmers of this part of Virginia All nature
has seemed to combine to make this one OF the
very best years. We have had the sunshine and
the rain in copious quantities with the result
that farmers have the best all around crops
they have had in probably ten years. Their
barns bursting with the glorious harvest,
and the best of all is the high prices they are
receiving for their produce The staple crop of
this part of Virginia is tobacco and the prices
being received are beyond the widest dreams of
the most optimistic Money should be plentiful,
after the stringency caused by the drouth Of
recent years.
Not only is the tobacco crop the heaviest
and hest in years. but all other crops are in
proportion. Most of farmers Will make
more corn and wheat this year than in many past
years Indeed, II Is estimated that every acre
planted In Lunenburg county this year Will yield
return, the average. of more than forty
dollars. This speaks volumes for o"~ soil and
the manner in which our farmers have learned
to use It. II shows beyond a doubt that the
farmers the people who are making money.
What better investment can young man make
than In the soil Of old Virginia? In what other
business he get large a return on the
money invested, and where more bountiful re-
ward for his abors? Stick to the farm, young
man.-Kenhridge Free State.
