Mr.. James M. Jamison, of Grant
District has gone to Pocahontas and
other counties south of us in this
State, to buy young cattle. This is
certainly better plan than to GO
West for them. We learn that stock
can be had cheaper here than it can
be brought from the West and is more
likely to do wei than western
cattle. With little effort on the
part of our farmers, all the money
sent West every year for cattle could
be kept at home.
Maj. McGrew, State Senator from
Monongalia county, is one of the best

was not for his politics we would
like to see him Governor.-Barbour
