We are glad 10 note that the House
of Delegates on last Friday passed Sem
ate bill No. $50, the bill which requires
certain public sales to be advertised in
the newspapers. We will publish the
act as soon as copy can be obtained.
The present legislature has thus shown
itself more progressive and more obe>
dent to the demands OF the people in
this particular. than any of its predeces,
sors. In almost every legislature dur.
ing the past four or FIVE years an effort
has been made to secure the passage OF
a bill abolishing the backwoods
custom OF posting important legal
notices on the Court House
door, and substituting therefor
advertisement in the newspapers
of the county, but it has heretofore
failed. For giving US at length suit-
able law in relation to this subject, the
legislature deserves and will receive the
. thanks OF both the public and the
press.
The reIstive merits Of the two systems
had recent illustration in this city
A certain property was to be sold by
the Sheriff. Notice of the sale was
posted on the door Of the house, one OF
the most conspicuous places in the
city; place that was passed every
day By several thousand people; but
when the day Of sale came not more
than fifteen or twenty bidders appeared.
Finding that the goods would be un-
duly sacrificed by sale at that time
the bidding was postponed and an sd-
vertisement WAS inserted in the city
papers to that effect. When the day
fixed upon arrived, the room wa.
crowded with persons anxious to pur-
chase, and the goods sold commanded
at least fifty per cent. higher prices
than would have been realized from
a sale with the insufficient notice for
merly given. E:r mo disco omnss.

House BILL No. 160, amending the
charter OF the City OF Wheeling in re-
relation to the paving or Macadamizing
of the streets and alleys. and the pay
ment of the expenses thereof, passed the
Senate last Friday and, if it has receiv'
ed the Governors approval, is now a
law. According to our recollection it
provides that half OF the expense O.
paving and Macadamizing q street is to
be betrayed from the city treasury, and
half by the owners OF property fronting
on the street thus improved.

A JOINT RESOLUTION is pending In
the legislature asking our representa-
tives in Congress to use their influence
in securing an appropriation from the
National Treasury for the purpose
Of making thorough geological sur
vey of this State The argument in
support OF this modest request is that,
because national aid is asked for the
completion OF the James River and
Kanawha Canal, and also Tor railroad
from Washington City 10 Gin
cinnati, running through this
State, a geological survey
OF West Virginia would afford MEM
bers of Congress better and more au'
thentic information than can otherwise
be had concerning the resources OF the
country through which these contem-
plated highways will pass.
A geological survey Of the State IS
undoubtedly needed to enable not only
the world at large but also our own
citizens TO know what wealth lies hid
den iu our hills, but, as the citizens Of
West Virginia will alone reap the bene"
fit of that knowledge, the expense oil
the survey should be borne by them
alone. The James River and Kama
wha canal is not a project for the sole
benefit of West Virginia; it has 9
national importance and the ma
.:ional Congress may properally sp-
propriate public funds for its compile
ton; but West Virginia has no more
right to ask for congressional aid In
making survey Of the State than II
has to ask Congress to build us a State
House or a Lunatic Asylum. Certain
ly the United States Congress will moi
seriously consider such a request. and
we trust that the Legislature will reject
the Joiut Resolution recently offered in
the Senate in relation to this matter.

MY NEIGHBOR.

4" Love thou thy neighboi," we are told,
i" Even as myself" That creed hold;
But love her more, q thousand fold
Ny lovely neighbor; Oft we meet,
In lonely lane or crowded street;
know the music of her feet.
She little thinks how, on a DAY
She must have missed her usual way,
And walked into my heart Of aye.
Or how the rustic Of her dress
Thrills through inc like son cares,
With trembles Of delioiOusness.
Wee woman, with her smiling mieu,
And soul celestially serene,
She passes me, unconscious queen!
Her face most innocently good,
Where shyly peeps the sweet red blood,
Her form a nest Of womanhood
Like Raleigh-for her dainty tread
When ways are miry- | could spread
My cloak, but there's my heart instead.
All, neighbor, you will never know
Why It is my step is quickened so;
Nor what the prayer murmer low.
/ see you mid your flowers at morn,
Fresh as the rosebud newly born;
| marvel can you have a thorn
Ifso, I were sweet TO lean ones breast
Against il, and, the more Il prsst
Sing like the bird that pain hath blest.
You know not, dear, how dear you be;
All the dearer for the secrecy;
Nothing, and yet world to me!

MARKET FAIRS.

We see going the rounds of the press a
statement that the entire area OF Great Brit.
ain and Ireland is only about four times tina t
of the state of Maine. aud yet there are
yearly held within these limits 2,254 agricul-
tural fairs. In the forty counties of England
1865 fairs are annually held in the thirteen
counties of Wales, 224 in the thirty.three
counties of Scotland, 4.l9 and 1913 in the
thirty.two counties Of Ireland. The largest
number held in any one county of the respec-
tive divisions is 1876 10 Cornwall, England /;
43 IN AberdeensLire, Scotland and 10 in
county Cork, ireland,
We have not the means at hand TO verify
these figures but they cannot be far out Of
the way. The fairs referred to are not mere
ly agricultural shows, like our state and
county exhibitions, (many of this kind are
included) but the great mass are market fairs
devoted to the sale usually Of some product
as speciality or leading article, but often
embracing much variety in offerings. In
some Of the states of this Union the practice
Of assembling stock and other farm produce
at the county seat or other point, for sale on
stated days and at short intervals, has been
in vogue for many years And it is a sign6-
cant fact that after being once adopted the
practice has steadily gained in public favor
so as to be seldom if ever abandoned.
Up to this time some few counties in Ken
lucky and Ohio have taken the lead in the
West, and the volume of business TRANSACTED
on their sale days is often very large. Boards
Of Trade, such as are established at certain
points in Illinois, Wisconsin and New York.
for the sale of cheese, adopt the principle of
the market fair aud are merely the machin-
cry Of a business organization among produce
ers. But we have thought of the subject
more with reference to live stock, and cannot
see why the system Of regular market fairs
may not be successfully adopted in all COM
munities where there is surplus produced
for sale, particularly Of horses, mules, steers,
mich cows, and sheep, 1t might be difficult
to include hogs unless breeding stock, as also
fancy cattle But aside from the sales of.
fected on the ground, such occasions would
bring the purchasers and producers of ali ag-
ricultural commodities together upon equal
terms and facilitate the KNOWLEDGE of mark
cts, establish rates, and, as fully as such
thing is possible, enable the producer to sell
his products without the interventi IN of 9th.

Laviny is"
Mr. Hinkle did know, unfortunately, and,
knowing schooled himself to patient waiting.
Thus the days wore on, and he plodded
through the spring work, cheered little in
spite of himself by Miss Phebe's earnest eff.
forts at making him comfortable, while La.
why, mortified aud then alarmed by his non.
appearance, worried herself into course of
exasperating sick-head.aches, and in every
sense shut out the sunlight from the house
of the Trips In the midst Of paint-scrub-
bling Mrs. Trip found no leisure to devote
to her complaining sister, but left one of her
children to wait upon her. Mrs. Hinkle felt
abused When had Reuben been too busy
to battle her aching temples Little ZOO
made her nervous as a witch, and one day
she told him so, and moment after had the
satisfaction Of hearing him say to bis mother
in the kitchen that he " couldn't get along
with Aunt Laviny nohow."
Why, that was just what Reuben had said
Reuben, who had never spoken hastily to
her in his life Was she an uncomfortable
person to live WITH
'Tain't in the power of mortal man to
get along with you, LOviny." The words
came back to her with the startling fierce of
a proof.text, and hauated her afterward con-
tinually.
1t must have been in rhubarb time, for
dandeion greens had gone by, when one
morning little Joe rushed in with the terrible
tidings that Uncle Reuben had fallen kerr
chunk from beam in the barn"
Mrs. Hinkle tore the bandages from her
head and started up.
Where's my bonnet, Susan ? I'm going
home !"
Maybe he isn't badly injured. Wait till
we hear further urged Mrs. Trip.
:" l tell you I'm going home, Susan Trip
Where's my bonnet ?" and suatching it by
the string, Mrs. Hinkle sprang into the wag.
on just vacated by her nephew, and drove
away at doctors pace.
Little Joe turned series of somersaults,
and then lay writing on the grass in fit Of
uncomfortable giggling.
Didn't Aunt Laviny streak it2 shouted
he. And Uncle Reuben wasn't hurt q
mite, but she wouldn't let me tell her Tee.
hee-hee!"
Yet, though no bones we're broken by the
fall, it is fact that Mr.. Hinkle found his
two hundred pounds avoirdupois considerably
shaken, and he was actually, according to
his wife's prediction, " camping down on the
lounge in his boots" when, opening his eyes,
they rested on her frightened face in the
doorway.

shut the door,
Five minutes afterward, as Miss Phebe

KISSES OF FAREWELL.


Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow
Not like the swim and Joyous ones
We used 10 know
When we kissed because We loved each other
Simply 10 taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
Lavishes heat
But as they kiss when hearts are wrung,
when hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament.
First Of the three my darling,
Is sacred unto pain,
We have hurt each other often
We shall again
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are 50 much colder
Than eye and hand. ....
] kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give OF take,
Buried, forgiven, before II comes
For our loves sake
The second kiss, my darling,
ls full II joys sweet thrill,
We have blessed each other always
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all Of time and space,
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place
The earth is null of messengers,
Which love sends TO and mo;
! kiss thee darling, for all joy
Which we shall know
The last kiss Oh, my darling,
My loye-l cannot see
Through my tears as ! remember
What Il may be.
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token Of what they will not see
Who see our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, seals
The seal Of death
