An Evil Needing Attention.

The irregularity and uncertainty
of the mails in this section has be-
come a matter Of universal complaint.
At Alexandria complaint is made that
issues of the CHRONICLE, printed and
mailed q week apart, frequently ar
rive the same day. and this, too,
on q route that purports to make tri-
weekly trips. There must be some
thing the matter along this line, and
it should be remedied. Some of our
subscribers complain that the Pine
vile Office is run very loosely, and
their papers often fail to come to
hand. At Montgomery, also. there
il grumbling, Mr.. F. L. Craig. par
ticularly. who says he has gone five
weeks without getting his paper. 1t
is not our fault. for all papers are
mailed regularly at this Office, and
we ask the various postmasters to be
q little more cautious in delivering
matter at their Offices. and see that
irresponsible parties do not get it.

Gov. Albert g. Brown, Of Mis-

June 18th. drowned in horse pond
near bis home. in the southern por-
ton OF Kinds county. near Terry.
There was no evidence or suspicion
of foul play. and as the water was
only three feet deep the presumption
is that while watering his horse be
was striken with apopIexy and thus
came to his death.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen.-I assure
you that the information You have officially

concerning the situation Of our party during
the struggle. but believing that you are cor

cept the trust committed to my hands. As
to the work of our party; as to the character

DECAY OF THE TEETH

Arise from various causes, but principally
it may be attributed to early neglect or the
indiscrimate use Of tooh powders and pastes,
teeth while they corrode the enamel. The
timely use of that delicate aromatid tooth
wash, Fragrant SOZODONF, will speedily
arrest the progress of decay, harden the
gums, and impart delightful fragrance to
the breath. It removes those ravages which
people sustain in their teeth from the nse
of sweet and acid articles.

While we are scratching along and

to educate our people to take a diff

be taught to believe that politics

Senator H, G. Davis.

The talk that was current at
Washington last winter about
Senator Henry G. Davis intention
to resign his position in the United
States Senate is again afloat in the
newspapers. A Washington special
in the Cincinnati Enquirer OF
Saturday makes the following re-
ference to il:
The friends of Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, say that he has
been meditating for some time
past resigning his seat in the
Senate, where he has become a
familiar character. He has become
the president of a railroad leading
up TO the north branch of the
Potomac river and then continu-
ing southwestward to a point near
the White Sulphur Springs on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. On
this course Senator Davis has 40
600 acres of magnificent woodland
Immediately available for timber
when the railroad shall be opened
and it is all underlaid with superb
beds of coal. AT his time of life
the development of his region and
the completion OF the railroad will
give him plenty to do. His first
cousin, Arthur German, has.
meantime, been elected TO the
Senate from Maryland. Senator
Davis is the son Of IL gentleman
once quite rich, who failed when
the Senator was boy, and he had
TO 90 10 work at whatever came
along. He has been altogether
the most energetic pubic man be-
tween the West and the East. and
has played an important part in
the construction Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad | was asking
one Of his friends day or two ago
how he came To question the IN
tegrity OF the figures presented by
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1880-12-18

THE Wheeling Register is urging
upon the attention of.the legislature
and the people of the State the bene-
| fits to be derived from a North and
South railroad line connecting the
two extremeties of the State. 1t ar
CUES that such a line of railroad can
be made effective in opening up al
most the entire State to railroad
communication. In order tosassure
the Inauguration of such an enter
prise, it calls upon the legislature to
make an appropriation for the sprop-
or survey of a route of the kind in
dictated, and claims that if such sur
vey is made by the State the nooosso
ry capital will be forthcoming to
build road connecting the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Baltimore and
Ohio roads. A railroad of the kind
indicated would undoubtedly start
a big boom towards the development
of the vast hidden wealth and re-
sources of our State, and at once
place us on the high road to wealth
and greatness. The Register states
the following advantages in a survey
made by the State over that of one
made by company or corporation :
~ A State survey would not be
under control or manipulation of in
dividuals or a few interested parties.
| (2.) The route would be determin-
ed for the interest of the largest
number and upon the most practical
BILE line.
(3.) 1t could be made to include at
the same time, a geological survey
of the contiguous country through
which it passes.
"A. Such survey would accom-
plish its highest object, viz, CON-
mand the attention and confidence
of capitalists-and we will guaran-
tee that it would not only command
their confidence, but the capital it
self.

THAT naturally arose." wa3 the
reply, from a strright-out bust
ness man finding that three off,
GERS OF the government were put
ting down different figures for the
public debt. The Register of the
Treasury (Allison) had different
bookkeeping from the Secretary
and Treasurer, and it was natural
that when man took up these
three reports and found no two Of
them agreeable, he considered
that there might be something
wrong in the figures themselves. .
In commenting on the above The
Cumberland Daily News says:
In regard to Senator Davis res
ignation we have lately heard
that he at one time seriously con-
templated taking such a step, but
has since concluded to serve out
his term. and so long as there is to
be Democrat in the seat we hope
it will be Senator Davis, for, as
we said at the time of his re-elec-
ton, he stands head and shoulders
above his West Virginia Bourbon
associates, and is ADLER, more in
dustrious and more liberal than
any other man among them.
