Some capitalists recently came to
this county to locate wooden mill
on the river near ClarkSburg.
They found q suitable site, but the
owner of the land finding what
they wanted to buy for, and sup
posing that they must buy, asked
such a high price that they were
compelled to leave here without
buying. The concern would have
added three hundred souls to our
population. - Clarks6urg Telegram.
The same short-sighted policy is
practiced in many places besides
Clarksburg. 1t is an illustration
of the old fable of the fellow who
killed the goose that layed the
golden egg.

An Important Amendment.

There is nothing, perhaps, in
the way Of legislation which more
concerns the people than the
Road Law. A bill is now before
the Legislature, offered by Mr..
Gettinger, and passed to itsse ond
reading, which provides thatcany
county or counties may adopt for
the working and repair of roads
any system they desire, which, af-
ter being submitted toa vote of the
people, and approved by a
majority of those voting, shall be
the system for said county. We
think this an excellent idea in a
Stateso diversified in character Of
country and soil as ours. The bill
will be taken up at the adjourned
session, and no doubt, pushed to
its final passage.

REPORTED By GALE PAgTrSeroS.
A Blower.

A Martinshurg man was in sa-
loon a few days ago declaiming
against that execrable civil rights
bill. He rolled up his sleeves and
said: Gentlemen, you all know
what Kind of a man fam, I'd like
TO see a niger come in and drink
with me; why I'd annihiiate him,
I'd chaw him up alive If he were
larger than Ned O'Baldwin, the
Irish giant. A mig" Here his
conversation was interrupted by
the entrance of his wife, small
but determined looking woman
who said: Bill, whit in the
thunder are you doin' here
blowin'." Didn't tell you to fill
them wash tubs and feed the pigs
and clean the snow off the back
porch? Say, man, do you want
me to break another pair OF tongs
over your head, say do YOU" He
didn't say whether he did or not,
but led the way for his wife, as a
prudent husband should do.

Another Mistake.

A freckled-faced country boy
went to one Of our Martinsburg
drug stores the other day to buy
some cologne to make his nose rag
smell nice. The clerk who has
general knowledge of all The jokes
that are supposed to have been per-
petrated from the days of William
Penn to those of Ben Buffers last
defeat for governor, grinned ma
liciously at the county boy. That
druggist was determined on try
ing a joke that he had read Otto
make the customer smell of all his
perfumes and on tie sly substitute
the bottle oil hartshorn. Placing
a halt gallon bottle under the
nose Of the country lad, the wit of
a druggist told him to smell hard.
Smiggs, the country boy backed up
against a fifteen dollar show case
and smelt the bottle. AS a matter
of course the pungent smeli caused
Smiggs to rear back with great
force and broke that show case.
The druggist didn't laugh but
Smiggs laughed and said some
thing about practical jokes. The
druggist Is gone west to hunt up
another situation because the pro-
prietor's boot was too intimate
with his coat tail.

A Sick One.

A Martinsburg man who was
married only n few weeks ago
came home last night, threw him
self on the bed and cried out in a
voice of agony:
"Jane, my dear, ! am afraid
have that disease at last the cere-
bro-what do you call it?-cerebro
spinal meningitis. I'll certainly
die. But don't call in the doctor.
Oh, Jane. you wouldn't cook four
eggs for my breakfast this morn
ing, but forgive you"
This young man who is married
| TO one OF Fooldam's daughters
went away from his young wife
in the morning because she didn't
cook him more than two eggs for
breakfast. He was determined to
scare her as a little punishment.
That's why he played off sick and
declined to see the doctor. His
wife began TO tear her hair and
prepare mustard plaster at the
same time.
Having accomplished these fem
mime preliminaries she went up to
old man Fooldam's for her uncle
Jake. That worthy individual
came down, held his nephew while
his wife applied the plaster to his
back. Then they covered him up
with blankets and told him not to
speak for the world.
Fooldam's son-in-law remon-
strated, but in vain. He said, 81
was only foolin' Jane, only foolin',
| tell yeu." But Jane said that he
was delirious from that brain dis
ease, and then she tainted. This
operation on the part of Fool
dams daughter afforded her hus-
band an opportunity to escape from
The bed, which he did by leaping
through the window and cutting a
straight line for his father-in-law's.
Gas.
A man came in from the country
a few days ago, went down to the
gas house, took a gallon jug from
under his overcoat and asked the
man that throws coal into the fur
mace "to put him up about fifteen
cents worth of that stuff what they
put into them gas lamps on the
streets, because the old woman is
gettin' skeery about usin' coal OIL"
