Many are the visions Of the children
of what big chunks of fruit cakes, what
packs of fire crackers, and what toys
will be brought by old Kris kingle.
Bless his dear thoughtful old soul, how
we all have to recall the innocent trust
that we, too, once had in him, and how
we wondered, as We lay awake o nights,
what he would put in our little stock

human nature is the same now as then,
so let all parents, i'll spite of the hard
times, BEE toit that it is a merry, happy
Christmas The scarcity of money has
necessarily cheapened all articles, anG
Tor little expenditure, many niae~i'ttle
presents may be had for the little ones.
Whatever we elder ones may feel, OF
however blue everything may seem to
our view, let us shield it from those too
young to appreciate it. The sunshine
of their innocent JOY should never know
a cloud, and ''hard times" will be no ex-
cuse Tor disappointing them. Kemem-

LoyE-AND ROMANCE.-LOve laughs
at bolts and bars, and usually trlumphs
over every difficulty. When two hearts
determine to beat as one" the chances
are ten 10 one that they will do 1t, no
matter what may be the difficulties
thrown in their way. AS another evil
dence in substanliatiOn of the fact, we
have to record the romantic marriage
of a young couple that took place On
the bridge at lIarpers Ferry, Friday
noon. The couple hailed from Clarke
county, and to escape parental in:erte-
renee, had shaken the dust Of their ma
tive county from their feet, and hied to
Harpers Ferry, the Gretna Green OF
Valley lovers. The gentleman Mr..
. Nimrod Shepherd, had taken the pre-
caution to write to Frederick, Md, for
license, which was ~ be Sent to him ut
Berryvile But he left Berryville be-
fore the coveted document reached that
place. Arrived 1T Hlrpers Ferry, he
eldcavored 20 have the mail which
passed there for l5erryville, opened to
see il it contaiutd his license. He failed
to accomplish it, and taking his blush
ing atlianced, left Oh the train tor Der,
rypille, where he received the letter
containing the document. He returned
to Harpers Ferry OH the next train with
light and buo.an heart. A preacher
was secured with reasonable dispatch,
and the happy couple, having triumphed
over all obstacles, proceeded with the
minister to the middle of the bridge,
where, under the broad canopy OF hea-
ven-their answers ningling with the
roar OF the blending waters of the Po-
tomac and the Shenandoah-thev were
pronounced man and wite.-And thus
it is that when two young people deter
mine TO ''hitch for life" obstacles which
would deter men in the ordinary pur-
suits OF life, are dashed aside with he
role determination and the end accom-
plished in spite of Fate-.'iariinsburg

WOODEN MILLS.

There Is good degree Of interest IN thu
establishment of wooden mills In Gallatii
coun, and we are grati6ed that our PEG
pie are ming their attention to 90 i'm
portant .. enterprise True there are mo-
now any great number of sheep in tn
county. but there are several thousand IL
the Territory and many parties are intend
ing to bring in more. The establishment
of . factory will bring sheep into tn
country more rapidly than anything else
An intelligent and enterprising citizen.
now I resident Of Gsllstin county, told us
that good many years ago be started
cardipe machine - acouDty in Iowa, y her
there were not hundred sheep, and PEG
pie laughed at hmm, and asked where he
q oected to get wool to card. Yet the
very first year he had 400 bags OF wool to
card. sent in from surrounding counties.
The second year there were !, 400 bags to
card. most of the farmers of the county
having bought aocks Of sheep. This was
al owing to the existence of carding
factory, affording them chance at home
TO utilize their WOOL We feel convinced
that the establishment of wooden mill IN
this county would produce like results,
and the prosperity Of our citizens greatly
enhanced. It would be paying invest
msnt and capitalists should lend aid To-
such valuable enterprise.
We shall have occasion to refer to this
subject again and give some facts connect
cd with the manufacture Of wool into
cloth, In the meantime, We should bel
pleased to hear from other parties more
familiar with the subject. We regard the
project as highly Important and worthy
