in every particular. It is evenly balanced
draft light, and strongly built. The force
feed grain and grass seeders. and the ierti-
lizer attachment are all that could be desir-
ed all ofthem performing with great regu-
lartiy and accuracy. Indeed it is the drill,
and the farmer can make no mistake IN buy

We the undersigned, having bought and
used the Superior Grain and Fertilizer Drill
last fall, can cheerfully recommed it to any
one wanting good drill for the following
reasons.
1t is positive force feed drill. The 'stir+
rers are in the bottom of box and make full
revolutions assuring a regular distribution Of
fertilizers.
The quantity of grain to be sown can be
changed without stopping team or changing

For convenience, ease of management. light

Mr. Editor-The choice Of the successor
Of Senator Hereford will decide whether
Inc reople of West Virginia shall control
her future destiny or whether corpora
fionS having 10 interest except 10 cxtort
the last dollar from them to fattcn the
pockets of Eastern and European stock
and hondhOlders, shall control. There Is
no doubt of the result if the people are
faithfully represented, but when two
giant aud replorseless corporations COM
bne, each controlling millions, the dan
ger,to the people proceeds from the fact
that weak or willing representatives may
be hired or dragooned Into the support OF
their candidate.
There could be no greater calamity pc
fall our State than the selection OF anoth-
er Senator who is bound by INTEREST, AS
ISOLATION, OR MODE OF THOUGHT to the
twin mOuopolies, the Baltimore ana ohlo
Railroad, and the Standard Oil Company.

NShed by combination between the rail-
roads and the Standard Oil Company, or
relief from eXtortion in freight rates and
discrimination against localities will be
Impossible, and our State and people will
be PROSTATE at their feet.
Our whole area is blessed with une-
lualed richness in mineral Wealth, the
interest Of the 3. &c 0. road is clearly to
prevent tho development of these rcsour-

ces, except on their own lines, and there
only TO control such property TO enrich
fsvOrites; for the general development of
our mineral wealth would encourage rail-
road construction, create competition in
the carrying and production of like ar
ticles, would break up the coal ring that
now controls the value of all the coal
lands (on this line) and as well as the
price to be paid by the consumers OF coal
at home and in the markets and when
has made many of the attaches OF that
road, known and unknown, milli0naires

West Virginia properly cared for by
her public men will in a few years vie in
railroad facilities, wealth and population,
with the greatest of the States in the
Union, her wealth producing capacity is
almost boundleSs, but submit her to the
deadly embrace of the B. & o. road, the
Standard OIL Company, and kindred
monopolies, and her hills flied with the
most valuable mineral deposits in the

THE H.EGIsE.aTURE.

Since the adoption of the now consti-
tuition in 1879, no Legislature in tho
State has bad such an important work
to perform as the one about TO assemble
in this city. The adoption by the PEG
pie OF the Judicial amendments lsst tall
makes necessary q complete overhauling
of all the Judiciary system; and since
the old code Of 1858 has been patched
al over and in every part and the patch
es have been punched full OF holes, and
patched again and again, this Legisla-
ture would find its work simplifed by
making new code at once, adapted TO
the prOseSt greatly changed condition
OF things. But whether it makes a new
code or adopts and adjusts the old one,
to the amended constitution and to the
wants OF this more enlightened and pro
gressiyo generation, the work before the
Legislature is both important aud lsbo-
rious.
I. is fortunate circumstance thatsome
OF the fttest men in the State for the
performance OF this work have aests in
the Legislature. We have Judge Jas
II. Ferguson, OF Kanawhs, one Of tine
brainiest men in the State,and who has

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. %, 1880.
MIR. Editor-Thcro is an old and
homely adage, that "straws show which
way the wind blows" There is a prac-
tice prevailing here among Senators in
relation TO obtaining eligible seats. If
retiring Senator has an eligible seat
which is desired by a brother Senator,
he has his name put upon the retiring
Senators desk, whereby he acquires a
quasi presumption right tothe seat when
vacated. Some twelve months ago,
Hon. II. G. Davis, of your State, had
presentiment that his present col
league, Hon. Frank Hereford, would
not be reelected, therefore he had his
name placed upon Mr.. Hereiord's desk.
We are not aware that Mr. Davis ever
made any pretensions to clairvoyance,
or that be consulted those mystical be-
ings who reveal future events, this how
ever, looks like penetrating the future;
unless ne and his confederates who mean
TO snpplsnt Mr.. II. have premediiatod
