There is no point in issue between the
breeders of dairy cattle about which
there is such n diversity of opinion as
With horses the watch makes the criterion
animals can be tested by the dead pull

scales and handling generally give very
good satisfaction, though the butchers

ton upon which the judges must rely is Of
necessity the most superficial. To be
sure the cow can be MIXED and the ques-

after all the best COW is not the one that
does best Immediately after calving, but
on tho contrary il ia generally the one
that does best Immediately before calving.
That ia. the one that holds out best
throughout the wear. is the one that re-
turns great profts to the owner. This

Why The Bride Cried.

On the bank of the Kennebec, river
a few miles below Bath, lives an old
lady. Years ago she cried 80 violently
when about to be married that it was
with difficulty she could be pacified. On
being interrogated as to the cause of her
great grief, she replied that it made her
sad to think she was to live 80 near the
steep bank Of the river, where her
children would daily be in danger OF
falling over and being drowned. The lady
has now lived there about so years, and
has never had child. By7nsWick (Bfe)

AT the head of this column aps
pears the regular Republican ticket
for county officers. 1t is our ticket,
and all the candidates are good men
and worthy of the support of the
party. In this connection we want
it understood that all other am
nouncements and advertisements,
such as ''vote for Casteel," or vote
for anybody else, who might choose
to announce himself in that way, are
simply advertisements placed in the
paper by the parties in>
terested, and paid for
the same as a merchant would pay
for an advertisement, such as ''Buy
your dry goods at - and
similar announcements, which can
be seen in the paper every day. We
make this statement III justice to
ourselves, for we do not wish to be
understood as endorsing any candi>
dates outside of the regular tickets,
and do not wish any one to have an
excuse to misunderstood this matter
At the same time, we are publishing
a paper as matter of business, and
all candidates, whether of our party,
or any other, can have their adver-
tisements inserted for the cash.

PROFITS OF SOUTHERN MANUFAC
TURERS.

The question of successfully rum
ming cotton manufactures in the
South and the profit derived from
tho same has been attracting consid~
cradle attention all over the country,
and there is now no doubt but what
the Southern mills are paying much
larger dividends to the stockholders
than the Northern mills. Many OF
the Southern States are taking ad-
vantage of these facts, and cotton
mills have been successfully managed

in number of Southern cities. We
trust the parties having the matter
of the proposed Knoxville
mill in hand will not let it 90 to
sleep. We want more manufacturing
establishments, and none could be
started which would do more good in
the community, and at the same time
pay higher dividends to its stock>
holders than large cotton manufac-
turing establishment. We do hope
the matter will be pushed forward
and come to proper head soon. In
connection with this subject, the
following clipped from the Florida
Dispatch will prove interesting:

ufactures of New England, the
| Southern mills show wonderful
difference in earnings, Mr.. Russell,
a Massachusetts member of Cons
gross, said, in recent speech in the

other points in Maine, representing
capital of S50,000,000, engaged il
manufacturing the various grades OF
cotton and wooden fabrics, have PAID
to their stockholders in the past five
years an average dividend of little
less than seven per cent. per annum
only"
Here is an authoritative Statement
that the manufacture of cotton
goods in New England is not one>
half so profitable as in the South
On this S50,000,000 invested il
Northern mills the profits for the
past five years have been less thai
100000; while the same amount
of capital in Southern mills, basine
our calculations upon what Other
mills now pay, would have beer
from S40,000,000 to $50,000,000, o
possibly more. Such a difference as
this is bound to tell. The Southern
mills save from 81 to So a bale il

mills pay. They have lighter ex-
penses for heating, cheaper raw ma

advantages which enable them t.

Northern mills can possibly earn

THE Chicago Tribune, speaking of
the tax-reduction bill, has the fol-
lowing to the point:
sit now seems to be settled that
the tax>reduction bill will not become
law at this session of Congress.
While processing great zeal in the
matter Of relieving the people from
the burdens of taxation, the Demos
Gratis of the senate IN reality have by
their action rendered it impossible to
reduce taxation at all. By their de-
cision in caucus that they will not
consent to the passage of the pend
ing bill unless they are permitted to
go into a general reduction of tariff
taxes, the Democratic Senators will
fully and knowingly defeat the entire
bill. They are perfectly well aware
that to take up the tariff with view
to general reduction of import duties
would necessitate session of
both Houses of Congress lasting at
least to the LIST of October; and they
also know that rather IMAM prOlOng
the session to that date the Repub-
icans, already worn out with the
severe and protracted heat, will
agree upon adjournment the moment
the remaining appropriation bills are
passed. Virtually the Democrats
forbid tax-reduction at this session,
| but they are mistaken in surprising
that the country will credit them
with sincere desire to reduce taxas
ton and will place the responsibility
for the failure of theIfunding measure
upon the Republicans. The country
will know precisely where the blame
belongs, and will correctly conclude
that the Democrats have defeated
the bill rather than allow the Res
publicans to take the credit of its sue
| cess.

The Evening Post says: "Gover-
nor st. John, of Kansas, has been
giving most satisfactory account of
the effect produced by prohibition
in that State. He declares that ''the
railroads ere selling twice as much
land as at any time for five years
past, and our school lands, with the
choicest taken up years ago, are now
selling at the rate of 220 acres per
day, while in 1880 the rate was but
Isl acres per day" He predicts that
in fifteen years the law will be ma
tional one, but it is hard to see why
we should have to wait as long as
that for it. The advocates of pro-
hibition have generally contented
themselves with undertaking to show
that by stopping the sale of liquor
crime would be diminished, and the
prisons emptied; but if it has an inn
mediate effect on the real estate
market, it seems idle to go on accu-
mulating prison statistics on the sub
ject. The taking up of the public
land might, OF course, be attributed
to increased emigration but then
why do the emigrants come =? Un>
donbtedly because the Germans, and
Norweig ians, and English, and Irish
have all heard that Kansas is pro-
hibitory State, Either way the ar
punent is complete.

ing the victory of the friends and
apologists of the liquor traffic in
securing a license council at the re-
cent election in Moorefeld, the
Examiner philosophically observes;
"Another year of drunkenness,
profanity and rows to be endured,

Importance of putting a stop to
the sale of intoxicating drinks in
our town.
There seems to be growing dis
position to put down the sale of
liquor, not only in this State, but
throughout the United States. The
Pulpit and the Press are doing
much to bring about this change
in public sentiment, and we trust
that the good work will go on till
the traffic shall be entirely sup
pressed.

Conference Notes.

The next Conference will meet
week earlier in March than usual,
at Bachtel Chapel, near New Ha-
ven.
The Conference was just ten min
utes in electing the three Presiding
Elders, DIR. Warner, Rev. S. j.
Graham and Rev. G. w. Weekley.
In connection with this election
the Bishop showed the humorous
side of his nature, in a quaint in
quiry, AS the voting was about to
proceed two ministers in quick
succession declined to be candidates,
urging the brethren not to vote for
them, whereupon the Bishop
quantity inquired: ANY ohdr
brother don't want to be Presiding
Elder? ?" There was a hearty laugh
but no further declining.

want it understood that for any
similar occasions in the METROPOLIS.
of Taylor county, we have perpet-

good hostess. We shall always be
happy in remembering the home
welcome and hearty kindness ex-
tended us by each member Of this
good family,
Our hearts were deeply panied
on coming down to breakfast the
last morning ofour stay, to find the
family stricken with the deepest
grief, by the arrival of telegram
from Huntington, announcing the.
death by an accident on the C. q
0. h. r. of a member of the family.
Mr.. /. }. McWilliams, of whom We.
heard many acquaintance speak
during the day in terms of HIGHEST,
praise, and Of deepest sorrow at his.
sudden death. He was a Young
man employed as fireman on tbe
road. The message gave NO partic-
ulars, save that his remains would
be brought home directly.
Our Heavenly Father comfort
and sustain our new friends in
their sore affliction.
