To stimulate the farming community
in raising wheat OF better quality, and
more to the acre, TO sow less land and to
90 it better, Capt A. E. Blonnt, an en-
tAusiastic and successful farmer of
Cleveland, Bradley county, Tennessee,
announces through the public press of
that place that he will give to the five
successful competitors $6l-$30 to him
who raises most grain by weight from
one peck of his Improved Golden Straw;
41d to the I'd hest, $19 10 the Sd; IS to

tons upon which the above premiums
will be awarded are as follows: No Que

1t must be sowed, reape,l, threshed and
weighed in the presence OF two disin-
terested witnesses, their certificate
sworn to and send to him by August 80,

as he chooses. In his card Capt, Rlount
says: = The Golden Straw is a beauti-

and better grain, makes from three to

~ The railroad strike which is
now agitating the country, calls forth
much discussion by all classes.
While many of our people sympa-
thize with the unfortunate and mis-
guided railroad employees, they are
severe in denouncing the wanton
and wicked destruction of proper
ty. It is but Justice. however, to
the railroad men to say that the
men who took an active part in the
destruction of property at Pittsburgh
were not employees of the railroads,
bat we're, for the most part, loafers
and hangers-on that are curse to

IMPROVEMENT OF wHEELING.

Wheeling is improving, though her
improvement is not rapid. Itis not, and
never has been, such as usually chsrsc-
terizes Western and Northern towns.
A few years ago, Wheeling was as large
as Cleveland: now Cleveland has hun
dred thousand inhabitants and Wheel
ing one-third that number. Pittsburgh,
Toledo, Columbus, Indianapolis, and we
might extend the list to the
length OF half column, have
grown right away from US in
population, wealth and-yes, there's the
rub - in enterprise. Wheeling
sat down in the mud thirty years ago
and she sticks there still. Her growth
is at snails pace, In comparison to the
growth of many cities. For thirty years
she has been investing her money, and
loading herself with debt in order TO do
so, in such railroads as proposed to come
this wsy-and when one came In sight
she fought it off.
Other cities have been fostered
and built up by their railroads,
but no railroad is, in any broad
sense, feeder to Wheeling. But
one runs into the corporation-not one
passes through 1t. We are not even
way station, nor yet terminus-except
of a switch. No railroad makes Wheel
ing's interests its interest. They skim
and skin her, but never fight for her.
But we will shortly. be better situated
With the 2. w. & Ky. road completed,
then c., I. V. u w. road in operation,
and the Hemp6eld extension built and
that made through line, Wheeling will
be well supplied with facilities for trade
and travel. With an abundance of coal,
cheap living, and convenient trsnsporta-
ton, Wheeling ought, with the general
revival of trade, to take a long stride
for ward.
