The distance between, Cumberland and
Wheeling Is about one hundred and thirty
miles, and the profile showsa hilly coun.
try, all o! 1t high enough TO be healthy.
There Is much other valuable informa-
ton TO be gained from the study Of this
old map, and on looking over 1t and see
Ing how the road bears away to the north,
the query arises why more direct line
was not taken-say from UniontOwn to
Wheeling via Carmichael, Jefferson,
along Rutt's Creek, crossing the ridge and
following the general course Of Wheeling
Creek. This would have been almost as
straight as the crow flies.
The map contains o table giving the
dates when and by whom o number of
The towns were founded, together with
their population, number ofhouses, stores,
&c, at the time the map was published.
From this we learn that Washington was
founded in 1871, by D. Hoge; that II con-
tanned one thousand five hundred and
thirty-eight inhabitants, who lived in
two hundred and sixty=five houses, and
had twenty-three stores and fourteen
taverns Brownsville had one thousand
five hundred inhabitants, two hundred
and forty houses, ten stores and six inns.
Centreyille, founded In 1919, had tllty.six
Inhabitants, nine houses, one inn. Bsalls.
vile was founded In 1910, by z. Beall,
had eighty.iiye inhabitants, twenty. -four
houses, three stores and three tAVerns.
hllls6Oro was founded the same year by
5 Hill, has seventy mine inhabitants,
twenty.iour houses, three stores and three
inns. Claysville, founded in 1917, had
one hundred and flity.seven Inhabitants,
twenty-five houses, 1.-Two stores and four
inns. West Alexander, founded In 1905,
had one hundred and iorty-two inhabi.
tantS and twenty-five houses. No tayerns
Or stores arc set down as located there.
Wheeling then had two thousand two
hundred inhabitants, four hundred houses
iorty-eight stores, aud twelve inns.
Some OF these towns were evidently
rivals Of others. Beallaville, Centreyille
and Hilsboro, al founded the same year,
raced each other closely. ClAyayille and
west Alexander, were also rival, towns
Lhere must have been lively times along

financial measures of the Order. It is
the method adopted by our Order in
sister States, and has thus far worked
to their entire satisfaction. I hope no
change will be made, either in the plan,
or in the officer selected to carry out
the plan. Let both have fair trial be-
fore either is condemned.
1t becomes my sad duty to announce
TO the Grange the death of two Of the
members Of the business or executive
committee, since our last convocation,
Brothers W. R. Robinson, of Blue
Earth county, and o. E. Randall, of
Fillmore. Both have been cut off in
the prime Of manhood and in the midst
Of their usefulness. Their loss will be
deeply felt, not only in the subordinate
Oranges to which they belonged, and
in the communities in which they lived,
but more especially in the State Grange,
and in the important committee of which
they were active and useful members.
The State Grange should take suitable
action in view Of these sad events. 1t
will become necessary, under the Con-
stitution, to elect members to fill the
vacancies thus occurring, and also the
vacancies occurring in consequence of
the expiration Of their term, by limita-
tion of law, of three of the members of
said committee.
Worthy Patrons! The prosperity and
welfare Of our beloved Order depends
largely upon the action which shall be
taken by us at this session of the State
Grange. The brothers and sisters
throughout his jurisdiction are looking
to us for wise counsels and wholesome
laws, which shall guide the Order sure
| ly and safely to complete success.
Let MS not disappoint their reasonable
expe> cations. Let us set an example
of brotherly love and kindness toward
each other, Of forbearance of each 9TH
er's faults and peculiarities. Let our
deliberations and discussions be con-
Quoted with the utmost harmony; and
when our work is done let us bear
hence WITH us an influence for good,
which shall be felt to the remotest ex-
tremities Of this fair land. Let us aim
to make our calling, through the teach
1ings of the Grange, an elevating and en-
nobling one. Let us not be impatient
of results, nor discouraged at temporary
failures. Mistakes we shall doubtless
make; false steps will have to be re-
traced, and errors corrected; but
through all let us work and wait, con-
fident that at the end lies success.
Let us hope and persevere.

Chicago, Dec. 18.--The schedule
of charges established by the railway
commissioner fixing maximum freight
rates goes into operation the 18th of
January. The superintendent of the
Toledo, Wabash & Western railroad has
declared that his road will not obey it,
deeming it unconstitutional.
! Bills were filed in the Circuit Court
to-day against the legality Of the assess
ment of the State board of equaliza-
ton against the railroad law Of 1869,
which by agreement goes to the Su-
preme Court to be argued at the Janua-

gested and defective in many important
particulars. Our Order is permanent
institution, and its fundamental law
should be such as to give it strength
and permanence. It should contain All
necessary provisions for the guidance
and government, not only of tn St,ta
Grange itself, but Of the subordinate
oranges. Most of the provisions now
embraced in the bylaws, sometimes
adopted hy subordinate Oranges shonH

general revision Of the Constitution bv
a Judlclous and learned committee r.
be appointed Immediately, and to rep.rt
as early as practicable, that annie time
may be given for due deliberatiton upon
the subject
In view OF the constantly increasing
duties and labors of the Secretary of
the State Grange, in consequence Of the
rapid increase Of the Order, renew
the recommendation made by my worthy
predecessor that the salary Of the Sec-
retary be increased to an amonnt COM
mensurate to the work and responsible.
1ty OF the office. I suggest that his
salary be fixed in the constitution at
one thousand dollars per annum, THAT
sum was voted by resolution at our last
annual convocation, but at the request
OF the Secretary, who probably did not
anticipate the amount of labor to be
performed, it was reduced to the present
amount. The revenue accruing to the
State Grange is ample for the purpose
OF paying we'll those who do good work
! l do not hesitate on account of mod.
esty from also renewing another recon.
mendatlon Of my predecessor-th that a
salary be also provided for the Master
OF the State Grange. That recomu,en
datlon was not acted upon, probably
from 'nadvertence, and as the law now
stands, the Master has an immense
amount Of work to do, and vast re.
sponsibility to discharge, for nothing
! The Executive Committee appointed
at the last meeting of the State Grange
have taken active measures looking to
the attainment Of the much desired oh.
ject Of bringing the producer and con.
sumer as near together as possible, and
d'smissing from the service the armv Of
Spectators and middle men.
10 this end they appointed one Of
their number residing at convenien,
commercial point-agent to transact
the business Of the Oranges and of in.
diyidual Patrons. He is empowered tc
sell all produce entrusted to him 70,
sale, and to purchase farm and family
supplies, for the household of the
faith" and is required to give ample
bonds for the discharge of his duties

practical method of carrying out the
