Prof, Kenny concluded his select
school in this place on last Friday,
We have heard his students and
those Of our citizens who have visited
his school, speak in the highest terms
of him as an educator. Quite num-
Der of the legal fraternity, witnessed
the closing exercises of the school and
were much pleased with the manner
in which the students acquitted
themselves, and their entertainment
by the Professor.
Rev. 7. II. Lacy was present and,
upon invitation, addressed the school
We direct attention to the adver-
tisenien of Mr.. Robert Howe, Whole,
sale Liquor Dealer, 81 Sycamore
Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr.. ALT
NJ. Thompson, is the General Trav-
cling Agent Of this House, and
he is so well known to the business
men of this place and the Kanawha
Valley, that it is useless forus to say
anything in commendation of him.
We may add, however, that all goods
purchased from this House, through
him, will be found to be exactly as
represented. The House is one of
the most reliable in Cincinnati.
In New York, on Wednesday, $780,
600 acres of land in Mcdowell coun-
ty, W. Va, represented as heavily
timbered white oak and mineral
lands, was sold at public auction
The lands were sold in lots of 1000
acres or more to suit the purchasers.
One.half of The tract was knocked
down to G. P. Bonner & Co., at half
cent per acre. The balance was
sold mostly to Germans in lots of
from one-half a cent to cent and a
half per acre. The average price
realized for the entire tract was
l cent per acre.
We have convcrsed with several
cattlemcn, and they invariably say
that their cattle look better and are
doing better in this county, than ev-
er before. They wintered better than
common, hence took the grass in bet
ter condition, and as the grass was
nearly a month earlier than usual,
and has steadily improved, there is
no reason why the cattle should not
be in good shape.
The storm Of Sunday, was much
severer outside of Town. Mr.. Rich
ard Spence informed us that it blew
down quite number of forest and
fruit trees on his place, and on the
farms adjoining him, destroyed a
great deal of fencing, and scattered
wheat and hay in all directions. 1t
also blew his large produce boat from
its mornings and carried it about half
mile up the river forcing it up
on pile of rocks, but not damaging
the boat to any great extent.
Mr.. James E. Clendenin informs
us that one day last week ho dug
from one hill of early Rose" So po-
tatos. This large yield was from
but two eyes planted in the hill, If
any of our farmers can beat this, they
will please furnish us the item.
The following officers were elected
at the last meeting of Point Pleasant

Stortz, N. g.; Henry j. Fisher, Jr',
V. G.; Adolph Hess, Recording Sec
rotary; R. Young, Financial Secre-

The wheat crop is already being
harvested in many parts of the coun-
try, and it is estimated that the yield
will reach 4OO,OOO,OO0 bushels or ten
bushels for every man, woman and
child in the country, if the popula-
ton be forty millions.
