for Pen Mar, where We had a very pleas

wife. Mr.. Goods residence is about y
quarter OF mile from Mason and Dixon's

OH Sunday, but such pleasant time WAS
had that we did not return until Monday
night. We all know what Virginia hos
pitality is, but after visiting Mr.. jacob
Good and his brother, .. W. Good, who
lives near by, we are convinced that
Pennsylvania hospitality Cannot be I'M
proved upon.

many of our farmers had to remove
their corn, after cutting it to keer
it from holding.
There has been a general slaughter
of hogs this week. Someof our citi.
liens would have butchered earlier
but We're waiting for the moon tC
get in the right position, not
that they intended to kill their hogs
by the light of the moon, but they
have an idea that meat cured in the
| increase of the moon, will nearly
double its bulk in cooking, which is
a big consideration to a man with a
large family and few hogs. We
don't believe much in signs, but we
know of one that never fails, in wet
or dry weather. When you see a
young man who has not been mar
ried over twelve months, carrying
home q rocking cradle it is a sure
sign of an increase In the family.
Mr. James d. Miller and wife,

I see that Hon. Marion Henshaw.

ing B0urbons. 1t reads more like

than anything l have seen lately
whose doctrines have been repudi.
ated by every honorable man from
Maine to California Holy Moses !!
just think of it, the Hon. Marion
Henshaw, calling upon the people Of
the State, to overthrow the spirit of
Bourbonism, which for the last ten
years has been eating like canker,
into the vitals of West Virginia, de-
stroying good government, Imposing
burdens of taxation, accommodating q
public debt contrary to the express
provision of the constitution ?
Now we would like to ask the Hon.
Marion, whether his liberties are in
any more danger to-day than they
were from 1865 to 1870, when those
B0urb0ns got possession of the State
II my memory serves me right, he
had between that period to bear the
burden of taxation, without exer-
cising the privilege of q freeman.
What gratitude he shows to the
party that helped to give him the
right of suffrage, by denouncing
them as Bourbons, and calling upon
the people to overthrow them, aud
put in their places such men as G.
M. Shinn. and Hon. G. f. Evans.
Pad he named such men as Joseph
Haldeman Esq, Hon. B. M. Kitch-
en-. or John w. Lamon we might
have thought he had a spark of.
gratitude in his manly bosom. But
enough. His epistle falls as harm
less as the dews of heaven. Marion
should take the advice of Poor
Richard, who says:
Small boats should keep near the
shore.

LETTER---wHAT rs BoURBoNIsM

A WORKING NAN ON Mr.. HRNsHAw'f
LETTER--wHAT rs BoURBoNIsM ?
One of the most startling and
difficult letters to understand, that
we have read since the ever mem
orable days of 1860, appeared in
the INDEPENDENT last week, copied
from tho Wheeling lntelligencer,
over the signature Of Hon. M. T..
Hsnshaw, ex-officio guardian Of
the peoples rights. We say start
ling because he informs us that
the GODDESS of Liberty, is about to
be dragged down from her high
position, and the poor working
men are to be made the slaves of
Bourbon task masters. We say
difficult to understand, in that he
says these Bourbons have been
eating like q canker, into the vi
tails of West Virginia, ignoring the
spirit Of Democracy, as well as
Republicanism, Nationalism, and
the rights of labor. Shades Of
Andrew jackson, and 40 'aham
Lincoln !!
Now will Guardian please write
letter to tho INDEPENDENT, end
explain more fully wnat he me ms
by Bourbonism; who these Boar
bons are and what principals they
advocate, and just when we may
expect them to come down on JUS
worlxingmen, like a swarm of 10
Gusts from Egypt?
You have told us who can save
us, and our country, viz : g. M.
ShiHn, Hon g F. Evans, Hon. j.
T. Janney. We know that eithe
of these gentleman, like Washiro-
ton, would blush to have Their
names mentioned as Commander
int Chief of our forces, but the
country must be saved, and if
there is no one in our own county,
with brains enough to lead us on
to victory, and drive the Bourbon
bodies into the last ditch, we will
have to send for Mr. G. M. Shinn,
whom you represent as such q sue
cessful schemer. Then with your
humble self as the Peoples Guar
dian and Shinn, as COMMANDMENT
Chief, our liberties would be safe.
Now Marion, for heavens sake,
for our country's sake, and for the
peoples sake, do write to the INDIE
PENDENT, and tell us all you know
about these Bourbons. And don't
forget to explain, why it is that
heretofore the National or Green
back party, have always said that
the Republican and Democratic
parties were so much alike, that
they could not tell tother from
which, and yet you name two Re-
publicans, who have never been
known to kick in the party twice
since 1865. Do write aud LIT us
know all about Bourbons, and il
you have time, also tell us some
thing about Bosses. "

The Mineral Point Zinc Company.

The stock of the Mineral Point Zinc
company was purchased on Saturday
last by Mr.. d. B. Jones, of Chicago,
brother of Mr.. W. A. Jones of this
city. General satisfaction is expressed
in regard to the sale. The projectors
OF the enterprise having accomplished
the object sought,-namely, the estab-
lishment of zinc oxide factory in this
city-are well satisfied that it has prov
ed successful and has been transferred
to good hands. The works will be
kept running, as they have been for
the past three months, to their full ca
pacity. Under the skillful supervision
of Manager Mcmahon, the manufac-
ture of the oxide has proved success
beyond the expectation of the most
sanguine. From thirty to thirty-five
men are kept in constant employ. and
about 100000 monthly is paid out by
the company, the benefits of which are
shared by our citizens. Mr.. D. B. Jones,
the purchaser of the works, is well
known here. He is wide awake. far
seeing man, and we have no doubt that
under his control the enterprise will
be'well and successfully conducted.

COmmendable Public Spirit.

We have been requested by several
of our citizens who have disposed of
their shares of stock in the Zinc COM
panY, to call attention to the fact that
now would be most opportune time
for starting some new enterprise in
Mineral Point. They say that the men
who helped organize the Zinc company
and subscribed to its stock, are now
well pleased at seeing the works estab-
lished and in successful and profitable
operation; and that having received
back the money which they invested
in their undertaking, they are now
ready and willing to invest their mon
ey and use their influence in starting
any enterprise which presents a good
prospect of becoming prot table and
permanent industry in our city.
A city blessed with citizens possess
ing the public spirit exhibited by the
men who helped start the Zinc COM
pany, cannot fail to grow and prosper,
if all efforts towards improvements are
well organized and wisely directed.
We do not believe that our citizens
will cease to be actuated by this COM
mendable spirit of enterprise until
they have made Mineral Point leading
manufacturing town. 1t is hardly a
year since the first public suggestion
was made Of establishing at this place
factory for the manufacture Of oxide
of zinc, And now what is to be seen
One of the most complete and best
equipped factories of zinc oxide in the
world, turning out a product which
cannot be excelled. To accomplish
this there has been expended more
than seventy-ive thousand dollars.
And this vast sum OF money has been
added to the capital of our city-the
original stock holders having had their
money returned to them. With this
result before us as the work of one
short year, what may we not hope
for in the futurel
Let some far-seeing individual point
out some particular industry which
can be carried on proitably here, and
demonstrate what he claims, and with
The Democrats aid in booming it, he
will see it permanently established be-
fore the close of 1888. If somebody will
duly suggest good enterprise Mineral
Point has the men and money to carry
it out

Be Ready Early.

A season of activity is near at hand.
Spring is coming. with its pressing work.
Are farmers ready for sowing and plant
ing, Every implement should be pro-
vided beforehand, that no time may be
wasted in making purchases or repairs
after the work should begin We have
known half day of blowing to be lost be
cause the whifietrees were not at hand
Some farmers start out with their spring
blowing without single plow-point In
stock, and when one is needed, the
team is taken from the field and driven
to the store. Such loss of time is .
serious matter, and should be thought
fully guarded against by ample pro-
vision of all such articles of the farm.
Il is q poor time to mend a harrow
when it should be at work in the field
We do not favor that economy-if it
may be so called-that relies upon
the neighbors for many of the
tools Of the farm There are
certain farm implements that may
be owned in partnership, as q
roller or reaper, but the constant Dor
rowing of rakes, forks, etc, is not .
wise and economical practice. Be pro-
yided with all these essential farm tools.
and have them In good order, and at
hand when the time arrives for using
them.
Now Is the time to look 10 these
matters, and make all needed prepare
tons for the busy days that will soon be
here In the peace Of winter prepare
for the war a spring. -AGriculfnTse.
