THE OLD HYMNS.

| love those dear old-fashoned hymns
that mother used to sing;
A tide of tender memories to which
my heart doth cling
Sweeps DER my soul in waves of love
whene'er / sing or hear
Those sweet old fashioned melodies to
mothers heart so dear.
Outlines, when sorrow bears me down
beneath it's heavy load,
And rocks and thorns beset my way
upon life's weary road,
"Tis then l rise on wings of faith"
to Jesus hand l cling,
And "Sing the Saviour's dying love-
which mother used to sing.
| often hear the same old words. but
set to music new;
OF course the message is just the
same and rings out just as true.
But there's chord within my heart
that's throbbing all in vain;
And sinners plunged beneath that
hood lose all their guilty STAIN"
l know its old and out of date-"A
charge to keep l have"
"A never-dying soul to save and fit
it for the sky"
Outlines the words l do not know:
but in my heart will ring
Some dear old hymn of years ago,
which mother used to sing.
Il cannot stand where Moses stood
and view the landscape DER"
But / expect to meet her there, on
Canaan's happy Shore"
And other dear ones with her. too.
I'll meet them by and by,
When can read my title clear to
mansions in the sky"
Sometimes l seem to hear her sing.
when sorrow comes to me,
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
and all the world go free?"
And then it seems a gentle breath
as from an angels wing
Comes Ger me with that dear old
hymn that mother used to sing.

GEORGE WASHINGTON GREW IT.

George Washington was not only
"iirst in war, first in peace" etc,
but first in America, perhaps, to farm
upon scientific basis. He was rear
ed on a farm, and at the time ofhis
death the Mount Vernon farm was
the finest in all the country.
According to the Progressive Farm
er, George Washington was the first
grower of alfalfa in Virginia, and
perhaps in the United States, and
his method then was about the same
as is recommended now. He instruct
cd his manager as follows: at would
be best to let the lot at the mansion
house intended for Luccrne, (alfalfa)
remain Il naked fallow, stirring the
ground now and then until seeding
time, or plant it early with potatoes
These well MANFRED would pre-.
pare the ground for Lucerne." This
method is considered by modern farm
ers the one most certain to give q
good stand of this splendid clover
this aristocratis queen of the grasses

HAD A GOOD YEAR.

The passing year, 1918, has been
memorable in more respects than one.
Perhaps no year has closed and left
our people generally in better shape.
Those not "in good shape" us we
say, are the exception. None of our
people have been idle who cared to
work, with only few exceptions. The
Clinch Valley News has had good
year. We have had about all the
work we could do, gained Il goodly
list of new subscribers, lost but IA
very few. A few have 'hoodoocd and
flimfiammed" us, beat it," and paid
us not, but only few such have we
ran up against. We believe the great
majority of the inhabitants of this
little globe are honest and mean to do
the right thing. Their hearts are
better than their deeds. The old
saying, Judge a man by his con-
duct" is not always safe rule. Many
men whose conduct is not up to the
standard, are good men mt heart. The
good Book says, GAS Il man thinketh
in his heart SO is he" The real man
is not always visible And, so, we
think of those who have film -ilammcd
us-beat us out of our we'll earned
money. They are not all bad men or
dishonest at heart.
AS the years come and go we all
realize, if we think Il moment. how
dependent we are OH each other. If
we rise in the world it is not all due
by any means, to our own efforts, but
due largely to the sympathy and sup
port of our friends.
Build an unscalable wall around
yourself and see what would become
of you. We all live to serve. and to
De served, IN our turn. If we have
in our poor way, served the public,
much more we feel that the public
has served and helped us, and we
close the old year with gratitude and
thankfulness, with charity towards
all anr malice towards none.
Especially in this connection, are
we grateful to our good corps of cor
respondents, who have helped us make
the paper. May all of you, and ev-
cry reader Of the paper, have n merry
Christmas, Give long and prosper,
your tribes increase and your shadows
never grow lessi"

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

Tie Clinch Valley News extends
most heartily Christmas greetings to
every reader of this paper. And this
is not intended to he Il mere formal
statement, made because it is GUS
tomary and expected We have writ
ten such greeting for about the 18th
time now, as the years have come and
gone by since we began our career as
editors and owners of this paper.
Never more so than at this happy
season of December 25th, 1915, can
we say with sinccreity, "A happy
Christmas to you all. God bless us,
every one"

have looked from our angle and cir
cumscrbcd vision, we have been con-
tinuously vibrating, as we say. One
week we think one way; the next, we
are all Mt sea. However, an editorial
in last weeks issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, seems nearly correct.
1t says, in effect, that we are in no
more danger now of being attacked
than we have been for the last hundred
years, but there is always the posi-
bility of war. To be prepared, is lik-
ened by the Post to an accident pol
icy. The insured may never have an
accident, but the possible may occur
and serious accident happen, then
the policy will be worth all it cost to
carry it. Preparedness, in the light of
an accident or insurance policy, is an
interesting view of the matter. How
ever, the cost of the policy must be
considered. The analogy does not
hold good all the way through, per-
haps, but when the cost of our nation
ri accident policy" is considered
well, it is simply enormous. If the
premium cannot be reduced, sensible
business man will reduce the face of
the policy.

LEGIBLE HANDWRITING.

Scarcely week goes by that we
are not compelled to throw communi
cations in the waste basket because
they cannot be read. Sometimes whole
articles have to be rewritten before
they are in condition to be set on the
linotype machine. 1t is too cxpen-
sive to burn gasoline, use electricity
and have high-priced machine grind
ing away, while the operator is puz-
zling out some words or sentence,
and then, it may be puzzled out
wrong and the words or sentences
have to be reset.
When we guess at the words mis-
takes are almost certain, and then
the paper gets a blessing, or, well,
something worse. If it is a woman.
as is sometimes the case, she gives
the editor a piece of her mind.'
Resolve now to be careful hereafter.
We want TO print all the articles sent
us, rs rule, but what's the use vast
ing time and stamps to send us some
thing which not even the author him
self coud read?

IOInS.
a. To assist in the development of
the spirit of cooperation in the fam
lily and in the community.
8. To dignity and magnify the vo-
cation of the farmer by demonstrate
ing the returns which may be Sc
cured from farming when it is prop
erly conducted.
e. To enlarge the vision of the boy
and to give him definite purposes at
an important period in life.
z. To furnish to the aggressive
progressive rural school teacher an
opportunity to vitalize the work of
the school by correlating the teach
ing of agriculture with actual prac-
tice.
The aim of the boys corn club is
the same as that among men, viz:
TO secure the adoption of better meth
DDS of farming and greater yields a;
less cost. Many of the boys in the
clubs who begin to study agriculture
in this way, will contiue the study in
the agricultural colleges; others will
continue such efforts oil their farms
and all of them will make usefuI
and efficient citizens. From the pleas
ant and profitable experience of own
ing and managing their small place
thew will develop into Independent
intelligent farmers.
