Neaos for the Spring trade.-Rcrens-
uood Neys.
The trouble is many merchants
are like the "fowls of the air" Gin
one particular only; "they SOW
not, neither do they reap" They
neglect to plant an "ad." and fail to
reap the advantages.
There is less barbarism in the
whipping-post than in the peniten-
tiary, and as a reformatory and eco
nomical institution the former
takes the lead.-Ritchie Democrat.
If it were not for our extreme
youth we would say there is more
of "barbarism" and less of wisdom
in that remark, than in anything
we have yet seen in the Democrat.
MEASLES AT LONG REACH
"Todd" in the Tyler Independent
says: "Mr. Simon Parker is still
very poorly, 1--WE have since learn
ed he's better.) Ten Of his children
now have the measles"
Some time ago we told our read
ers that Slime and nine of his chill
dren had measles, and predicted
that the bulk of his family would
be apt to have them, presume
the above named batch of ten are
of the second catching. This looks
as if the malady might yet become
epidemic and 60 through his fami-
ly. Our old friend and companion
in many nights sport, hunting
and fishing, has our sincerest and
deepest sympathy.
REFoRM.-Good people all over
the country are rejoicing over the
recent victory of the sober and hon
est voters in Philadelphia, over the
corrupt rings of political jobbers,
that have for years strangled law
and decency and robbed the city of
money, peace and honor. Let all
the people rejoice.

Mr.. Blaine in his Grafton on Gen.
Garfield said;
"When Gen. Garfield assumed his
new duties he found various troub-
les already well developed, and ser
iously affecting the value and eff
cheney of the Army Of the Cumber-
land"
Gen. Rosecrans takes exceptions
to the above language in a publish
ed card, and says:
81 was the Commanding General
of that Army, Gen. Garfield was my
Chief of Staff, and had this been a
fact | should have known it.
Gen. Garfield was bound to tell me
of it. Justice to the truth of histo-
ry, and to the Army of the Cumber-
land requires that | should declare
| never heard of such state of
things until the statement came
from the lips of the orator to-day.
That distinguished gentleman has
been wholly misinformed, and the
statements above quoted have no
foundation in fact. On the contrary,
it was the general sentiment and
the constant boast of the officers
and men of that army, that the Ar
my of the Cumberland was singu-
larly united and free form dissen-
sion, and therefore no ones genius
was required to heal those dissen-
sions. | appeal to them to bear wit
ness to this fact.

That's the prominent question
before the people in spite of the eff
forts of politicians to keep alive
dead party issues by killing the
only live one.
There is too much guzzling of
beer around town of evenings for
the general health. There are peo-
pie about town who are getting
pretty sick of it, and don't you for
get it Wetzel Democrat
It's the "same over in this cor
ner," and that's what makes us
say what we do say.
If the saloon business is not con-
Quoted in more proper manner,
an anti-license Council will be cleo
ted at the next election Wetzet
Democrat.
Stick to that text, Bro. Democrat,
and Prohibition will come.
The Legislature can do just as it
pleases, so far as we are concerned,
IN regard to granting favors to
publishers, and we propose to ex-
ercise the same privilege in regard
to the members of that body who
oppose our interests. We shall OPP
pose the old, fossilized, moss-back
politicians, and if we fail to strike
them as hard as they deserve, it
will be from lack of ability, and not
Of intention Wet2eJ Messenger.
None will dispute the ability,
and many are thankful for the in
tention.
We insist that saloon-keepers in
this place continually violate the
law by selling to persons who are
in the habit of becoming intoxica-
ted The next grand jury will
have it's attention called to the
matter WetzeL Democrat.
Will you show us a place where
they don't do that self-same thing?
We await the action of the grand
jury,
One of the disastrous consequent
ces of the revival is that, it busts
up the dance we intended to give as
soon as we finished house painting
Wetzel Democrat
IT'S better to have the dance
"busted" than yourself A newly
painted house and a dance is more
than the exchequer Of the average
editor will stand.
What West Virginia wants more
than prohibition is more schooling.
Richie Democrat.
Correct! Bro. Zevely; korrect !

Perhaps you are right, brethren.
We have before been unable to &C

was a "wow and wumpus" all

We rise to remark that the dedi-

A pound of butter in Winfield
just now would draw better than a
circus. -Putndn Democrat.
We sampled chunk in our slim
market the other day, pound of
which was strong enough to move
whole circus with all it's trains
and appendages.
A young lad attended Sabbath
School at one of our churches last
Sunday, and was asked by his
teacher, "who made the beautiful
hills about here, replied he didn't
know, as his parents had only NOV
ed into town the day before. "-Ra-
ue,asauood Me,us.
We submit that that boy didn't
have fair chance. The question
was too aesthetical. Beautiful
Jackson county hills in February,
and it raining all the while! The
very idea was enough ito embarrass
the boy. And then the push and
enterprise of our Ravenswood neigh
bors might naturally have led the
lad to think these busy people
made their own hills. Give the boy
a chance.
The Marietta Chair Company
manufactured in the year 1881 :
cane chairs and rockers, 1899 !;
wood chairs and rockers, 1873, 41S; ;
a total of PIT, PAT and pieces of fur
niture, 23,629, making a grand to-
tai Of 240, 276 pieces. This is cred
liable showing. Certainly there
are few companies in the country
doing more work.-Marietta Reg
ister
This, it seems to us, is especially
the enterprise Parkersburg wants.
We know of no other point with IA
cilities equal to ours for obtaining
the timber needed for the manufac-
ture of furniture, and surely our
facilities for shipping and supply
ing the ever increasing demands of
the furniture trade are and will be
unexcelled. Won't our citizens of
capital and our people wanting
work, and our merchants wanting
customers, think and talk of this?
Judge Ferguson is making him
self very unpopular to his party, by
his strong advocacy Of temperance
principles.-W. Va. Radical.
Not "muchly," my friend, on that
account The majority of the De-
mocracy, in this region at least, is
for Prohibition, "and don't you for
get it," Our representative, Hon.
A. c. Fulkerson, truly represented
the Democracy Of Wayne upon this
subject Wayne Advocate.
The political jobber that under
takes to draw between temperance
and whisky in this State,
a line that will run parallel

find himself on a FOOLS Grand, and
lost in the brush before he gets a

So it goes all over the State, as
may be learned in another column

leaders as we'll, of West Virginia,
who are Disguised with the party

to work independently for the good
of the State and of the people.
Mr.. F. r. Swami, the genial edit
or of the Call, has gone to Zanes-
vile, O., and when he returns
wife will accompany him.-Gazette.
Whose?
A West Virginia farmer said:
eyes, barbed wire fences are ex-
pensive, but the hired man does
not stop and rest for five minutes
on the top of it every time he has
to climb it."--Enchange.
No, he just lies down on the grass
behind the alder bushes, where the
farmer can't see him from his shad-
ed seat on his front porch.
Fatty Baumgardncr, of Barbours-
vile, raised parsnip, last year, in
his garden, feet inch long
Huntington Adpertiser.
If you mean to say his garden
was three feet one inch long, Or the
garden three feet, and the parsnip
one inch, it's all right; otherwise,
tell US something else.
The Monthly Cadet observes that
Charleston has As lawyers, IA ply
sicians and II preachers. From
this it would appear that the peo-
pie of Charleston place the highest
value on their property, the second
on their bodies, the third on their
souls.-&ate Tribune.
Unfortunately, that seems to be
about the usual proportion. Some
men have such little souls and
worthless bodies, and are so abom-
inably mean generally, one can al
most excuse them for putting the
highest value on property, but this
isn't as it ought to be.
The Point Pleasant Register is
feeding members of the Legislature
on editorial taffy.-Radicai.
And do they seem to like it? Most
folks do.
VACCINATION Boom. A man who
claims to be regularly appointed
Government agent is now travelling
around through Texas vaccinating
the negroes with beeswax. He
charges dollar head, and is MAX
ing money like dirt, Smart young
man.-E1chamge.
Now, if he'd use soap instead of
beeswax, and direct that it be thor
oughly washed off after it "took,"
we could commend that chap as
humanitarian, and ask that our
Board Of Health send for him and
give him a job in certain neglected
quarters.
MEAN BUSINESS. The Board of
Health have ordered all hogs and
dogs quarantined and the police
men have orders to shoot any they
find running at large in the city.
They are determined to leave no
stone unturned for the eradication
of smallpox, and mean business.
Go ahead, gentlemen.-Huntimgton
argus.
The "mean business" referred to
must be the liquor traffic, since it is
the meanest business of any note
we know of, and is much more
dangerous and to be dreaded than
smallpox, 1t has killed more peo-
pie in both Parkersburg and Hunt
ington than the smallpox and all
other contagious combined.
S. B. Reed is delivering fine lot
of green apples in this place at 81

We wish Mr.. Reeds delivery wa
gon would come this way. Fine
apples at 81 a bushel is something
Parkersburg has not known since
