with the exception OF Two days Interrupt
ruptlon by the snow storm OF Friday, trade
has been excellent for the week terminating
last night. That unnatural occurrence came
quickly and left rs suddenly, so that on Mon
dew business was fully resumed In the city and
in the country.
The event in plantation aifat's has been the
final destruction by snow and frost of the cot
ION weed. After a growth Of six months
more or less healthy, generally more, the crop
was finally killed by a Move mber snow. And
with the exception OF Friday aud part of
Saturday, picking has progressed
and is now pro Tesslog without
interruption. We presume fully 20 per cent.
of the cotton crop has bsen gath rcd and 30
per cent. marketed, There is, however,
world of it still la the couatry ANA ID come
forward,
Railway matter! arc rather quiet. The sub.
sorIption to the ,Chlc 40, Texas 4 Mexican
Central has made soma hosreSS' una ab'ut
one third OF the amount asked has been Civ
en-. The balance can be made.up II the com.
mittee in charge will make the necessary
effort.
Track laying on the Trunk has progressed
about half q mile and will rapidly 50 forward
ioKauiman.
As stated yesterday, the Texas & Pacific has
been finished to the 10th mile post west of
Dallas and is going ahead at this rate of one
mile per day. One can travel already a long,
long way toward the setting sun, and in due
course of time the ''jeweled daughter of the
Pacific" will meet the lone star state of the
southwest.
Building new. stores and dwellings appears
to lie the order. of the day in The city The
supply OF either is short OF the demand. Large
lots arc being cut into, and new residences
going up upon them And 1t is estimated
that the Building and Loan Association, now
organizing, Will add az leaAt hf.y or seventy
ave cottages to the city

Financial Affairs.

Their appears to be no lack of money anoat
and In tho vaults of banks and to the credit OF
individuals. Not only Is this the case here,
but such is tho character of reports coming
from oil portions Of the United
States which seem 10 have entered upon an
era Of the great5ss prosperity. The preslden-
tlal succession Is settled and out of the way,
politicians relegated either to privacy or sent
into offices, where they can only hear one an
other talk, and the merchants and industrial
classei.left free their calllugs. If the financial
laws now Ia oper ltion are left alone, the
country will make tie most giant strides to-
ward tho greatest wealth ever attained by
this or any other land. But this cannot be
hoped for.
Money In the city Is being loaned at the rate
oflOto Il per c9at. per annum, with little
called for, except 10 pay for cotton.

crowded audience. We learn it was
able and instructive and produced a
vivid and pleasing impression upon
all who heard it. 1t is doubtful
whether any lecture ever delivered
before the Historical Society gave as
much patriotic satisfaction. 1t was
a noble vindication of an honest and
heroic West Virginia mechanic to
the merit of one of the greatest dis
coveries of the age--the steamboat.
Hon. VIM. III. Travers was elected,
with his consent, to deliver the an
nual address in June, 1881. All the
the former officers were reelected.
We hope this useful and interesting
Society will continue to grow in the
favor of our leading and public spir-
tied citizens, and that its labors will
bring forth material worthy of the
future history of our State.

ABOUT TAXES.

We are often asked what consti-
tutes the different classifcations of
taxation in this county. But few
persons seem to know even the ag.
gregate amount they are taxed on
the hundred dollars. The following,
which we have taken the trouble to
look up, will be of interest to all
such. 1t is the amount paid on the
hundred dollars by citizens of the
corporation of Martinsburg: h
Levies for 1SS0-State purposes 80
cents; county purposes So cents;
school purposes As cents; corporation
rs cents, making a total of $205 on
the hundred dollars. In country
district it is, of course, much less.
For county and State purposes it is
IS cents; road purposes, in all dis
tricts Except Hedgesville, which is
IL cents) 10 cents; this makes 95
cents. Now add the school tax,
which is levied by each district, and
may differ in each, and you will have
the aggregate amount levied.

SMASHED.

The reports sent out from Wash

gard to meeting of prominent West
Virginia politicians (which never
took place. has been pretty thorough
ly sat down upon and smashed. The
young man who concocted it for a
purpose at the bidding of his supe-
riors, over-reached himself. He "cut
from the whole CLOTH" and spoiled
the entire piece. He had not even
the semblance of a shadow of truth
on which to hang his report, and
when it was punctured and the light
Of truth let in on it, it went to pieces
like soap bubble. The young man
out of whose fertile imagination the
report was evolved, ought to hire
himself out to write advertisements
for circus company. He is little

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF
VEST VIRGINIA.

This useful institution, of which
our fellow citizen, Mr.. Faulkner,
has for some years past been the
president, held it's annual meeting
at the University in Morgantown on
the Sth and 10th of this month. Its
proceedings this year were more than
usually attractive. Its president,
Mr.. Faulkner, laid before it some
original army order books, embrace
ing an interesting period of the Rev
dictionary war, with historical ex-
plantations of points not ineligible
to the general reader; also papers
connected with what is called the
chesapeake war; in which two
companies from the county of Berke-
ley participated; also compilation
of the facts whichled to the change
of the name of a town then in
Berkeley, now in jefferson county,
from Truckfeld to "Wizard'S Clip"
