lands belong to the L. L. & G. and NJ.

offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or so to 7 5
bushels of corn per acre is sold at $500
per acre for cash, or $500 on time. AL.
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many. parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold al 25c. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking for new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old set

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is well
suited to all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat; corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad.
mirably, and particularly the last. The
inexhaustable supply OF native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one OF the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.

is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Greek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L. & G. railroad. The

water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. It has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres.
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
snd the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at q

4 Blue Beard has been brought to light in
Charleston, Kanawha County. a DR.. w. +.
Cooper has been arrested for poisoning his
third wife, and her fate recalled suspicious cir
cumstances attending the deaths Of the first
and second. Public sentiment in West Vir-
ginia does not Justify such goings on as this
and the general opinion is that DR.. Cooper
ought to hang-his head in shame.
A young lady in Lewis county, in making
up pound cakes for a party at the house OF Mr..
James Murray, mistook paper of arsenic
which she found in the pantry for baking pow
der. The result was twenty-five people, invi-

poisoned. A physician, DR.. A. NJ. Dent, Of
Weston, was procured as soon as symptoms of
poisoning were discovered, and active antidotes
were vigorously administered and the effects
of the drug were contracted before any serious
consequences were developed Wheeling Reg

On Wednesday night our town was shocked
by the intelligence that Newton B. Jones,
Esq, member of our town bar, was accident
ally killed by falling from train No at Bar
rackville. Mr. Geldbach, the Waterman at
Barrackvile, stated before the inquest that he
was SldnuiuH at tue west emu OF the platform,
looking toward the approaching train. As the
train was passing be heard something fall on
the platform, and going back he found it to
be Mr.. Jones, lying dead, his skull broken
from which his brains were oozing, his neck
dislocated, and his right arm broken in two
places. Mr.. Jones had been in Warrington
that day and as commissioner was taking de-
positions. lie was accompanied by Messrs A.
b. Fleming aud Fontain Smith, who were
counsel in the case. Mr. Fleming states that
he never knew Mr. Jones to DO business better
than he did that day Mr. Smith says that
Mr.. Jones was in a splendid humor and never
saw him take dispositions as well saw him get
on the train, but did not see him after the
train started, aud thought he was in the smok-
ing car. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Jones was
in the smoking car and attempted to return to
the ladies' car as the train ran over the very
acute curve at Barrackville, and by the violent
jerking always caused by that curve he was
thrown on the platform of the B. & o. r. r.,
and killed His portfolio was found near him,
and the dispositions that he had taken that day
were scattered all about him, some of them
covered with blood.
