No one can enjoy their own opportunities for happiness while they are envious of others. Life has its full measure of hap piness for every one of us if we will only determine to make the very most of every opportunity that comes our way instead of longing for the things that comes our neighbor's way. Bneht. cheerful, hopeful thoughts are friends that will insure success. The i ambitious person should learn as early in life as possible to pick out the friends and ene mies of success and in many cases it will be found that the greatest enemy resides within our selves. Morbid thoughts are infinitely greater hindrance to success than opportunities from out side. No health, no harmony, no real success can exist in the at mosphere of abnormal melan choly. Over 'come the policy within your own heart and you will have done much towards reaching success in life. Let us believe that there never was a right thing done or ajworse move made in vain, although the fruit of them may not spring up in the place; designated that the time expected. Endeavor to be courteous to old people, for courtesy is the oi! that makes the machinery of life run smoothly. There are three things in this world which deserves no quarter, liyiKiiriay, phnriswrn ar.tl ty- : If you see anything worthy of praise, speak of it, even if you cant do worthy deeds ' yourself dontbe to selfish to commend one who can. . Let us come together in en nity, let us do our duty in our shop or our kitchen, the market. the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithful as if we stood in front ranks of some great battle, when we do that the humblest of us will be serv ing in ;that great army which achieves the welfare of others. Brush your foretop from your eyes and strike right out. Look the whole world in the face; Vow to win or burst a trace. Be as good a man on Monday, as you were at church on Sunday, and strike right out. Dreamer got a valentine. Dreamer thought it very kind On it are roses and a snowy dove. And jingling verses of hearts and love. Was bowed with ribbon all pink and blue Who sent it I do not know. Where did it come from I can't guess. It cost a quarter I'm sure not less. Who was so rich all that to spend. Who was so kind to send Dreamer. it Lure's Erm.

Danville, Va., Feb. 24. -The following circular has been is sued; by the Tobacco Growers' Protective association of Virginia through H. 0. Chairman, ad dressed to the tobacco growers of Virginia and North Carolina: "The board of directors of the Bright Tobacco Growers' asso ciation believe that the interest of the tobacco business will be advanced by careful review of the past and present condition. Some four years ago when ruin faced the tobacco growers, when the average price was less than six cents the farmers in Virginia and North Carolina met in the city of Danville and organized the association. This association has persistently made just claims which if backed up by the pro ducers would place the producers in position where they could de mand and protect their rights. We claim that every farmer and every legitimate business has been benefited by the small amount of work that has been done.' We believe that had the farmers continued their old policy of making all the tobacco they could, and delivering it to to the trust at $6 and less, without any protest in the shape of public meetings and organizations, that there would have been very little if any advance in prices. We further believe that a large ma jority of the farmers realize what has been cone to make the movement a thorough success. We urge all farmers to meet with us in Danville, March 17, 1908, at which time we propose to adopt a more . systematic meas ures for pushing the work. : We have sold about ninety per cent of the reordered tobacco and set tlement will be made on the above date. We also urge farm ers to bring in their tobacco to the association as soon as pos sible that it may be handled to the best advantage." Dnrtam Pytaians favor Ledge.
