Mary farmers, and others whose
business requires the use of horses,
are very careless about the impor-
tant matter of lameness. Very
often q valuable animal becomes
slightly lame from some cause
which could be easily removed if
attended to at once; but il is allow
ed, through neglect, to go on until
the suffering brute Is nearly if not
wholly ruined. Then the matter
is investigated and veterinarian
is called, just in time to incur an
expense from which there can be
no return, and too late to remedy
the evil. Such a course is not
only silly but it smacks strongly
of the inhuman. A man who
gives his horses no care whatever
deserves to lose them.

COL. HARRY GILMOR.

On last Sunday night, in Balti-
more, Col. Harry Gilmor, the fam
Gus scout and soldier, CROSSED the
flood that lies between life's even
ing and it's dawn" We knew him
from his early boyhood, and in an
interview with him recently in
Baltimore, he made numerous in
quiries about persons and of the
town of Martinsburg, reviving
many interesting incidents and
"reminiscences of his career as a
soldier. He was always a very
daring and intrepid man, and
would maintain his opinions in
any emergency, 1t was in his
hands and on horseback that
we saw the first State flag unfurl-
ed in the exciting times of April,
1861. He was always open-hand-
ed, frank and generous, and bear
ing no malice, he made personal
friends of opponents with as much
ease and rapidity as he did with
those who conceded with him, and
hence the soldiers who wore the
blue mingled their tears with
those who wore the gray over the
last remains of the gallant soldier
and equally gallant and worthy
citizen.

TERM ENDED.

The term of Hon. III. G. Davis,
as U, S. Senator, expired on Sun
day last. He made very credit
able representative, and was at all
times approachable by and kind to
the citizens of West Virginia. His
record on protection ISL anything,
opposed to the Democratic party.
We believe he endeavored to do
his duty fairly and honorably. We
have but one word of reproach to
utter, and that is, he failed to To-
cate term of the y. S. Court and
buildings for the same at Martins
burg. We hope he will yet en-
deavor to help Us on that, and we
trust that his successor and Mr.
Camden VIII push the matter to
success at very early day.

child standing at the brink of death
with the flames within few feet of

moments later she sank from her
husbands and children's sight into
the flames behind, with her child
clasped to her bosom. The flames
roared on,and still the old man hung
in the window. At last they licked
his arms, face and chest, and shriv-

The Chicago Inter- ocean says
Of the two Senators Davis: "For
the last six years the Senate of
the United States has contained
two members by the name of Da-
Wis, one from Illinois and one from
West Virginia, but both are now
private citizens. Each bids q
farewell to public life. Each is
immensely wealthy and highly
respectable.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS
NEEDED.

There are two things that the
people should endeavor to accom-
plish, viz; the pikeing of the road
leading to Gerardstown, and the
one to Hedgesville. When they are
completed, then some arrange
ments should be made for a pike
to Shepherdstown and one to
Charlestown. Money cannot be
better invested by the taxpayers
than in these needed improve
ments. In our own county the
pixies to Winchester and to VIII
Transport, and the grade to Shang-
hal, furnish excellent means of
travel to the public living in those
directions. With such roads to
Gerardstown and Hedgesville
nearly every portion of the county
would be equitably and practically
accommodated. Could not the
County Court take one of these
roads at a time and put from one
to two thousand dollars out annu-
ally in grading, breaking and
spreading stone, until the whole
thing shall be completed? We
heard one farmer say that he
would work himself with his hired
men and his team for one week
in aid Of such a project, and we
have no doubt many other farmers
would do the same.

SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1888.
HON. A. Fl. STEPHENS,

Hon. Alex. Fl. Stephens, Gov
ernor of Georgia, died at Atlanta
on Sunday From the cradle to
the grave he was an invalid, and
deaths door must have always
seemed open before him. Endow
ed with wonderful and brilliant
mental qualities, he, with his aches
and pains, forged ahead of more
robust men. His inability, how
ever, to move around may have
served to make him the thinker
that he was. For fifty years his
life has been woven into the
threads of public history IN official
positions, and he died at the head
of the Department of the State
that he loved SO well and served
so long. While he may have often
erred, still he made a record wor-
thy of emulation, and carved q
name and fame that will be pre-
served with the history of the
great men of the nation.
