PIE RECENTLY CAUGHT AT FAIRMoNT
Last week we copied an article from
the Inder giving an account of the
escapade Of two persons who were
caught at Fairmont. The Grafton
Eagle adds the following concerning
them: ''The woman in the above
case, was Mrs. Sallie Barton, of Pied
mont, w. Va. and the man was
one Thomas Malone, who until re-
Gently worked for the b. & 0. r. K.
Co, in Grafton. and was well known
here. He is young man about TWEEN
tyfive years of age and has not the
least trace of beauty about him.
This is the third case of almost a
similar character in which he has
figured as the man in the case, and
we think it is about time for such
conduct to stop. We are not in favor
of the remedies of the red men but if
this young man happens to wander
back to Grafton, we will not promise
him that there will not be enough of
men in Grafton without us who are
/ in favor of such remedies to make it
decidedly interesting for him. The
amateur seducer is bad enough, but
a professional, like this young man,
is intolerable under any circumstan-
ces. We sympathise with the woman
she was blinded by the duplicity and
experienced wiles of this rascal She
had an excellent husband and two
interesting children who are the real
sufferers of her indiscretien We
suppose that the young man and his
friends will not be pleased With this
exposition Of his character, and we
don't care. We carry free lance
and if others do not desire to have
their names i'll print, in similar
manner, let them be warned ard not
follow the example of this young
man.
For the information Of any parties
that may be interested, we say that
Malone is now in Garrett, Indiana.
Wool Growers Read This
And note the fact, that the produc-
ton of wool has increased in the
United States from 60,000,O00 pounds
in 1860 to nearly 3S0,O00,000 pounds
in 1881, or to be more exact, to about
1854, 100000 pounds of washed wool,
and yet the increase has not kept
pace with the demand Of our wooden
mills.
The American Cu5tioator saws:
We are now importing wooden manu-
features to the value of near 60,000,-
0G0 dollars per annum. So that ia
king into consideration the contin-
ned increase of population and the
large amount of wool needed, which
we fail to provide, in order to meet
the demands of our own factories as
present established. We shall re-
quire a very large increase in the
present amount of wool production
before we can say that all our wants
of wool are supplied from home sour
ces. To produce the cloth of equal
value to the $60,000,00O worth now
annually imported from foreign coun-
tries, we should require at least an
additional supply of 100000
pounds of wool, an amount nearly
double that which was produced in
1860. Even at the present rate of
increase in wool production, we should
require at least ten years to bring
our homewool clip up to such enlarge
ments, and taking the additional fac
tor of constantly increasing popula-
ton into the problem, at least 20
years would be required to produce
all the wool we need for our own
wants. From such stand point
our farmers should take renewed in
terest in sheep husbandry. The field
is broad enough 0nd the returns or
profits sufficiently remunerative, to
stimulate increased effort in this i'm
portant branch of farm econ omy.-
