under corner. Then he returned to
the house, closely followed by Henry.
AS he stepped up on the porch watch
and chain was plainly visible in his
hand.
Henry held up his hand warningly to
Augusta as she was about to rise from
her chair.
BE quiet" he said, +" I understand It
now."
Then he quietly followed Coulter up
stairs.
The next morning Henry Penohyn
contrived that Frank Coulter should be
alone with him in the parlor, and his
sister Augusta came in smiling. Her
chain was around her neck, and her
watch was visible in her belt.
81 find that did you great injus-
tice, Mr.. Coulter, when last saw you,"
she said.
"You accused me of stealing your
watch and chain," he replied, as his
face flushed. see that you have them
now. Had you mislaid them p'
II had not mislaid them"
Who, then, was the culpritp"
Nobody but yourself
Indeed And yet you say that you
did me an injustice in accusing me of
the theft. don't understand this"
You took them just as said you
did," persisted Augusta, still smiling.
How then, did you recover them 7"
"You brought them back last night,
and put them on the bureau from which
you had taken them"
Impossiblel" exclaimed the young
man. "This is outrageous"
mot in the least. Were you not
aware, Mr.. Coulter, that you were a
sleep-walker 2"
"a sleep-walkerl If am, never
had any cause to suspect it,"
The entire story was then told, to
Coulter's great bewilderment, but also
to his great satisfaction, and he conclud-
ed that his business would oblige him
to remain several days at the Penohyn
hotel.
That evening he was walking in the
moonlight with Augusta.
"When we parted" she said, 81 was
about to tell you of something else you
had stolen when you took my watch
and chain, but you would not allow me
| to finish"
:" 1 remember" he replied, "that you
were going to accuse me of another
crime. What was 1t 20
''Not crime at ALL You came down
on the porch, took my hand, and told
me that whatever happened, must
remember that you loved me. You stole
my heart before you went up stairs tc
steal my trinkets."
"Now you must give me your hand
Augusta, and if should ever again gel
up in my sleep to steal your watch anG
chain, we will at least have the consola.
ton of knowing that the act is not 9
criminal one."
81 shall watch you, sir" she blush
ingly replied.
The law and the church gave her tn,
right to watch him.

THE TWO LOVERS.
GEORGE ELIOT.

GEORGE ELIOT.
Two lovers by a moss-grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,
o budding time
o loves best prime
Two welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning winds,
White petals on the pathway slept.
pure-eyed bride
0 tender PRIDE
Two faces DER the cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked
These press'd each other while they rocked
Those watched q life that love had sent.
o solemn hour!
0 hidden power
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light fell about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees,
Like buds upon the lily spire
Opatient life!
O tender strife
The two still sat together there
The red light shown about their knees
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left that lonely pair
0 voyage fast
0 vanish past
The red light shone upon the floor
And made the space between them wide
They drew their chairs up side by side,
Their pale cheeks Joined, and SAID "once

er towns of less population and not
near so good advantages.
The little town of Huntington, in
this State, several years ago organ
lied company for making car
wheels, and started with a capital of
100000. The company is now con-
structing shops far manufacturing
the cars complete, and have increased
their capital to 100000. We give
this as an instance of what few
live business men can accomplish
when they set about it with the
proper nerve and determination. The
men who invested their capital in
the car mandatory at Huntington
have reaped large profits therefrom,
and the town has been immensely
benefited,
Strangers who come to Martins
burg and see our great natural ad-
vantages unimproved, our opportu-
mites wasted are inclined to remark,
"why stand ye here all the day idle ?"

Making an aggregate Of 2,260,8
bushels-being a little more than
one-seventh of the whole corn crop
of the State. Jefferson produces the
largest number Of bushels, and Mar
shall comes next. The counties ex-
ceeding half a million of bushels are:
Jefferson, 673, 425 Marshall, $50, 615;
Berkeley, $50, 875; Kanawha, $780,
4l0, and Wayne, sol 500. Clay, Nc
Dowell, Pocahontas, Tucker, Web
ster and Wyoming all fall under
100000 bushels. Harrison, Jackson,
Mason, Wetzel, Monongalia and
Wood exceed 100000 bushels, but do
not reach the half million.
OF other grains, the aggregate
production in the State is as follows:
barley, 9,74O; buckwheat, 2sj ,29S;
oats, 1909, sos; rye, 113,181. Of
these Berkeley is credited with 1872
bushels of barley, 1875 bushels of
buckwheat, 1852 bushels of oats,
and $500 bushels of rye. Jefferson
has no barley; $50 bushels of buck
wheat, 1871 bushels of oats, and
2, 100 bushels of rye. Morgan has
1851 bushels of buckwheat, 17,577
bushels of oats, S,10S bushels Of rye.
Hampshire has the largest rye crop
in the State-14,349 bushels. The
Eastern Panhandle produces about
one. seventh, and the eight eastern
counties nearly one-half of the entire
crop OF the State.

MARTINSBURG AS a MANU-
FEATURING SITE.

Mr.. John Farrin, of this city, &C
companied by Mr.. j. S. Grove, Of
Philadelphia, dropped in to see US
the other day. Mr.. Grove is now,
and has been for years, connected in
business capacity with the large
manufacturing establishments of
Pennsylvania. In a conversation,
he remarked that, in his Judgment,
there was no better site in the coun-
try than Martinsburg for the estab-
lishment of works for the manufac-
ture of engines, agricultural imple-
ments and freight cars. He express
sed surprise that the surplus capital
of the town and county had not long
ago been organized into company
for that purpose that in his judg-
ment, no better investment could
possibly be made that it wouldn to
only pay the investors large direct
profits, but would indirectly be of
lhcalculaDl6 advantage TO every one
who had a dollar of interest in the
town or county.
We have no doubt that nine out Of
every ten of our practical business
men will endorse the views of Mr..
Grove. We believe the great maj T
ity of our people are fully aware of
the advantages possessed by Mar.
tinsburg as a manufacturing site {;
and as fully realize the great advan-
tages, direct and indirect, that would
result from the investment of capital
in such an enterprise as is suggested
by Mr.. Grove, but the nerve and en-
ergy necessary to begin and carry
out an undertaking of the kind,
seems to be sadly lacking. We are
in energy and enterprise behind 9TH

directors who do not direct, and
whose confidence in their cashier is

THE election will take place in
Virginia on Tuesday. The cam
paign has been the most exciting and
holly contested ever known in the
State. Money has been freely used
by both parties, and both parties are
claiming that they will carry the
State by 10000 majority. In this,
both will be mistaken. The MAORI
ty will not reach that for either par
ty. The Democrats eeem to have
gained on the Readjusters during the
past ten days, but to what extent,
there is no means of knowing. 1t is
quite evident that the Democratic
prospects are much brighter to-day
than they were a week ago. Still
the contest is likely to be close, and
may be decided on election day in
favor of the party having the best
organization and doing the best work.
1t is the death struggle for the Re
adjusters, and realizing this fact,
they will not be likely to sleep on
their posts.

prises for the development Of the re-

been inaugurated. Senator Davis
has been able to interest some of the

Senator Camden is also at the head

right of way.

high road to prosperity, and will in
time be the New England of the
