A Strange story.
Huntington Advertiser.

Huntington Advertiser.
Near the forks OF Little Coal river,
in the month OF April, 1887, MIR. Daniel
J. Smoot, shesred his sheep and turn ed
them out to run upon the mountains.
Soon after snow storm came up and the
sheep took shelter under shed adioln-
ing 'sang" dry house. The dry house
was almost air-tight and the door was
astened with string. The sheep broke
the string and thirteen head wen: inside,
the door came shut and were prisoners
without light, food or waite: for
one hundred and thirteen days. When
they were found their eyes protruded
from their sockets, and tho sheep,
although yet living, were as poor rs
ghosts. Their flesh WAS literally dried
upon their bones, and when the door
was opened they staggered outside and
AZ once fell dead. Their carcasses were
so dry that when hung upon tho trees
decomposition did not take place for
nearly six months. These statements
are certified by Mr. Albert Allen, JEFF
Smoot and K Smoot, of Boone county,
who are still living-and it beats the dog
story.

Elaxeter's Failure.

"Got neat thing for you" said young
Mr.. Flaxeter, the critic, diving into the

neat a thing IN the way OF an intricate
combination Of conundrum and pun as l
ever saw. if do say it myself. What is
the difference between the Prophet
Daniel and the Danube River2" We
said there Was right smart chance OF a
difference.
"Well, yes" said Mr.. Flaxeter. "but
be specific; name it."
We named whiskey and settler with
startling promptness, but MIR. Fisxeter
stuck to the business on the speakers

cause oneis Dan you was, and the other
is Dan you be, which was rejected as
being too simple and too utterly UNI

as grammatical amendment Dan you
were and Dan you are, but MIR. FLAKE
ter said it didn't fit. Then We said be-
cause Daniel was prophet and the
Danube is q foreigner, and torerunner
and prophet were pretty much UNI
alike, but this was rejected. Then we
said because Daniel had no pocket TO put
il in, aud gave it up.
MIR. FIa1ter, greatly pleased, SAID.

State Tobacco Warehouse No. 2is now
opened and receiving tobacco for inspec-
ton and sale. It may be stored one year
free of charge TO the planter, and almost
free from all charge. Good grades OF
tobacco will command large prices in the
course of few months, simply because
the production of arst class grades for
two years past has been snail. 1t is'
therefore, advisable to warehouse
here and hold it for the advance
After it is inspected here, the owners
can obtain money upon their certificate
of inspection from the Bank OF Hun
tiagton. Of course not more than 6O or
60 per cent. upon the full value, but this
liberal advance will enable the planter
to hold his crops for the best prices.
Con- mission houses for the sale OF con.
signments are now opened IN thls place,
with ample capital and the best facilities
to obtain satisfactory prices in any mar
ket The inspection samples are drawn
by State authority, and not upon any in
dividual enterprise, and the sampilng
will be alike fair to the producer and
purchaser, so that sales from them may
be made in any market.
AS the crop OF shipping leaf in OHIO
and West Virginia is larger than usual,
it will be advantageous to store at least
part in this warehouse, and not over
stock the warehouses of Baltimore, Gin
cinL att or Richmond, and prevent any
undue depression In price. Warehousing
here must result in an advance of prices.
for good cutting and filling leaf is short
in Kentucky and Virginia, therefore
Ohio and West Virginia growths must
be substituted instead
The tobacco bus as has long been an
oppressive monopoly upon our producers,
and now that an opportunity Is offered,
we must compel foreign consumers to
come to our doors to make purchases,
and stop all speculation and profits OF
the numerous mlddlemen who have been
p-eying upon our planters. The ware
house is the safeguard Of our producers,
and we urge them to take hold OF the
advantages now offered.

Glad lie Knew His Father.

From the Reformer.
A Young man whe had a claim OF htty
dollars to collect took it 10 a lawyer. The
latter, upon inquiring, no sooner heard
that his clients name was George Jones,
than he seized him by the hand, tervent-
" shook it. enchanting, "My dear fellow,
bow fortunate you are! Why l know
YOUR father well; in fact, he was my
first client. shall take particular pains
for YOU in this matter" A few days
later the young man received note from
the lawyer informing HIM that the col
lection had been made. He called upon
him and was handed u roll of bills. AS
he was counting them the lawyer relter-
s,ed his remark about the young man s
good fortune in coming to him who knew
his father, etc. The young man, how
ever, looked anything but happy, tor he
found but fifteen dollars in the roll. The
lawyer, noticing this, said: "Why, my
dear fellow, what seems to be troubling
you2" "Oh. nothing" the young man
replied, "nothing. l was only thinking
how lucky l am that you didn't know
my Grandfather"
