The following from the Northern Neck
News shows which way the tide is turning:
How strange 1t seems that though on tho pre-
ceding election tho state of Virginia voted by
at least $4,000 majority that tho State should
be bonded to build roads, tho sentiment seemed
to be just before the last election greatly op-
posed to such an Issue of bonds Now all OF a
sudden there seems to BIO another change of
'front.' and IL We are TO judge by the express
sion of tho Virginia press. tho next General
Assembly will find itself besegcd with re-
quests from all points. Of the State for an is
sue OF bonds. There is ono thing certain: We
cannot build or maintain roads without funds
What the people Of Virginia want arc better
roads and they do not mind being taxed to
accomplish this much desired object as long
as their money is judciously used In carrying
forward this all-important work"

GcttinE Ready.

The house Is full OF junk,
From cellar up to roof;
We almost hear tho plunkoty-plunk
OF the Ealloping rcindcer's hoof
Mother is sewing. sister Is sewing,
Auntie is serving, too.
And It looks from tho way the thing Is going
Like Christmas is coming through.
The children all behave
And never hook from school;
And father is trying hard to be brave.
And remember the Golden Rule.
Gee. but it's hard for dad to be pleasant
With all OF tho bills to pay.
But when every one has got his present
It's daddy must writo o. K.
Old Kris has clenched his teeth,
And stiTencd his upper lip;
He's got to unlimbcr his Christmas queath
Though the weight of it sink tho ship
Mother is sewing. sister is sewing.
Auntie is sewing: gee
And say. while the little there is is going,
I hope they'll remember ME!

through the press, and in all my lee

there was danger Of worms, seems to

We were also to have cold spring
and a cool summer, but look for some
quite warm weather near the middle
Of July, and also around the 25th of
August.
There is regular storm period
central the 9Th Of June, and a reac-
tonary central the 18th. But there
is such strong combination for
storms all through June and July, that
they are liable to come almost any
time, and OF course there will be con-
siderable threatening and buster this

tical position Of Wheat has been gen.
orally well known for many months;
but as a consequence of adequate sup
plies for the current requirements and
on account of the worldwide bust
ness stagnation, the. prospective fut-
ure stringency of supplies was over
balance, and it was not until recently
that the comparatively light stocks,
steady Export clearances and new
crop uncertainties became factors in
influencing values.
= Corn receipts at terminals the past
week noticeably increased, and at
most of the country points in the
corn belt Of Minnesota and Iowa a
free movement from first hands was
reported This is the usual after
planting run, and in all probability
the Corn will continue to move more
or less freely for the next two weeks.
Notwithstanding the increased re-
ceipts prices have remained very
firm. Large quantities evidently, are
still needed to fill Export sales and
there has. been a fair industrial de-
n1and.
