We have used the Runion, Doyle, Montgomery

ginia, and we have to-day tried the FAN manu-
featured by MIR. John Ntoner. at Brldgewater,
Rocking ham county, and take pleasure in say
ing, whilst 1T is not as slightly in appearance
some of the Fans named, it cleans the grain as
well as any, OF them and in cur Judgment is not
surpassed by any of them. We further state
that every farmer, in our opinion, should own a
good wheat Fa4l, and we hope our people will
encourage Mr.. Stoner and spend their money at
home III preference to sending abroad aud get

paint and appearance, but does not clean grain
as well. ~ PAaTLOW u LAMBERT

Death of Hon. Ballard Smith.

g Hon. Ballard Smith of Greenbrer County,
W. Va, died at his residence few miles from
Lewisburg, on Saturday, the 18th inst, aged
So years. The Independent says: has zad
In 1915, he was elected to the Congress of
the United States, from the District OF which
Greenbrler then composed part, which posi-
tlOn he held until 1921. at time when it was
esteemed distinguished honor to occupy a
seat in that body. He was also member of
the Virginia Legislature, when the boundaries
of the old Commonwealth extended from the
Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio river, and after
wards he was nemb Der Of the County Court,
when the best men Of the community esteemed
it an honor to preside as magistrate
In addition to his many varied requirements.
Mr. Smith was possessed of unusual powers of
oratory. He was an able advocate and an ear
nest speaker. During his long and checkered
life, we have yet to hear aught against him -
Full of years and rich with honors, he is gone
to his long home, loved and revered by ali who
knew him. An old Virginia gentleman in the
fullest sense of the word, he seemed to aspire
to the fullest meaning of the term. We leave
his biography to other hands

Among the late improvements alb out town
the one the more prominently in mind Tor
few days past is the tasteful inclosure OF the
railroad reservoir lot, at Orthodox Place lis
attractiveness consists in the breaking up OF
the monotony of white pale fences that are so
popular with most of our villagers. The con-
trast of tight seven feet, rough board fence
is certainly strong enough to suit any fastid-
Gus afTrctaton for variety. Nothing could be
more imposing than its sober, somber frown-
ing defiance to all obtrusion or trespass of the
foot or eye. The Chinese wall, that through
far reaching years, held the outside barbarian
in his place and the noted wall of Jericho that
tottled and ignominiously fell before the re-
peated blasts of rams horns, were neither OF
them worthy of place by the side OF this
triumph of human taste, skill and achieve
ment. 1t is the wonder, and will soon become
the mystery of our village. Already the chill

Recognizing the kindly feeling that prompted
the gathering of the Congregational Church
with their bretheren over the way, in view Of
the coming absence OF Mr.. McGIFFERT, the
two churches held common service at the
Congregational Church on Sunday evening
last prior to the temporary absence of Mr.
ANDERSON Such evidences of a generous

NORTH PARK has been subjected to pru'
ming process, and the lower and Topping
branches, which prevented sight across 1t,
have been cut away, alfording not only an OPP
portunity of looking through it, but admitting
an occasional CLEAN of sunlight from above
So dense had the foliage become, that at night
it was difficult to cross it in any given direc-
ton, and our citizens took the out side, or
roundabout rather than the direct course, in
their way home. The Pagoda, or music and
speakers stand, was so shut in that it would
have been difficult for a surrounding audience
to see the speaker, in itself an argument for
pruning. The trees, too, had been set so
thick that the rem oval of some OF them, or
their thinning out and hi CHER trimming seemed
TO be demanded, and such work could not be
delayed without injury to the trees. In view
of these considerations, Mayor SEYMOUR,
with the advice of the Council, entrusted the
work to volunteer committee OF two judi
cious citizens Of admitted taste in such matters
to execute the job, which we think they have
done with discriminating judgment and taste
Our citizens generally commend the improve
ment. OF course, there will at first be some
thing of look of nakedness, but years

JOHN CnINAMAN is doing credit to his
transplanting upon the soil of the Old Bay
State, and into the shoe manufactures OF
North Adams He will have TO be taught, of
course to adapt his previous attainment to the
different modes as well as the different articles
of manufacture from those he has been accus-
toned to- lie however, in this as in every
kind of busy work, shows himself an apt
scholar, and makes cOmmendnblc progress,
and bids fair to become an useful and efficient
artisan in this line of trade. The strikers
have found themselves in a bad fix, end one
which they are unequal TO. Their folly in
hastily giving up a comfortable dependence
and trus ing to luck for carrying their point
and returning to their places, is shown up III
a rather strong light, and the regrets that fol
low in the wake of ideness will hardly be re
lieved by better prospect They have pre-
cipitated a state of things that will probably
become permanent, and if any of their places
are regaincd, their wages, no doubt will have
a much lower range than those heretofore en-
ioyed. They let slip good thing for Il bet
ter, and find that both alike are beyond thei
reach.
