HAWKS NEST, w. Va, June 27.-I looked
anxiously from the car window as the train
neared New River bridge to see the famous
Hawks Nest. Must it be confessed, that
after reaching the hotel, I pointed out
Lovers Leap to companion as that noted
point The Hawks Nest is cliff GOO feet
high, and takes it name from the fact that
the first hawks, no.longer seen in this re-
gion, used to build in the numberless
creVices in its face. From its name, sup
pose its sister cliff, Lovers Leap, has some
legend attached to it, but have not been
able yet to learn the Indians name. / hear
this called the New River Valley, but why

the New and Gauley rivers meet to form

but the mountains commence right at the
rivers edge and end away up. The rail,

An Interesting Story About a win.

1 had rather interesting experience
with old Mrs. Norton once, She mar
ried Mr.. Norton on the death of his first
wife, and the moment she came into
the house war began between the new
wife and the wealthy mans son, which
has lasted until now. Mr.. Norton soon
died, and when years afterward, the
widow was very i'll, l was called to write
her will. l hurried to to the death bed
with paper and pen, found candle and
a stand. and after saying few words to
her, told her l was ready to prepare the
will if she would now go on and tell ma
what she wanted to do. Iwrote the in
troductory phrases rapidly, and leaning
over toward her said, Now go on, Mrs.
Norton" Her voice was quite faint,
and she seemed to speak with an effort.
She said J.: First of all. l want to give
the farm to my sons, Harry and James !:
just put that down."
But" said l, 'you can't do that Mrs.
Merton: the farm isn't yours to give
away"
1.-The farm isn't mine ?" she said in a
voice decidedly stronger than before.
mo, the farm isn't yours. You have
only life interest in it."
This farm that I've run for goin' on
forty-three years next spring, isn't mine

Judge? I'd like to know what you
mean ?''
''Why, Mr.. Norton-your husband
gave you life estate in all his proper
ty, and on your death the farm goes to
his son John, and your children get the
village houses"
And when die John Norton is to
have this house and farm whether will

The southern Kansa, Frsight Rate.

The new freight schedule recently
posted at the Southern Kansas depot
is still the subject of anxious inquiry,
but we are in possession of information
from Mr.. Branham, the Winfield agent,
calculated to dispel any fears of an in
crease of rates to Kansas City and
through points. The assurance comes
directly from Mr.. Hynes, the general
freight agent, that the tariff schedule
is for the government of local rates only;
that it is the same as that now in eff
feet on the Santa Fe, and does not in
the least effectrates to Kansas City and
other market points, and therefore will
not effect the rates that the Southern
Kansas will charge on produce going
out of the state or merchandise coming
in. We are further assured that the
railroad commissioners themselves rec
commended that the Southern Kan
fication and tariff rates with the Santa
Fe, and that the posting of this sheet
is one step towards conforming with
the expressed wish of the commission
ers, and the letter Of the law. We are
also assured that the company does not
desired to advance the rates ono cent
and that they would not have put in
this new distance tariff if it were
not considered legally necessary. We
are glad to receive these assurances and
publish the same with equal pleasure

Will Have to Racnnsidar.

Governor Click of Kansas will prob
bly, have to reconsider his words to a
Chicago reporter, that he will not be a
candidate for governor for a second
term. His work is not yet finished. He
has made too good governor to retire
just now. AS an executive he is emil
nently practical and level-headed. No
complaint is made from any quarter of
the manner in which he discharges the
functions of his high Office. He is firm,
courteous and just as a ruler. We're
one desirous of indulging in compli-
ments, there are plenty of orportuni-
ties, and just need of praise would be
offered on occasions not few.
His time and attention given to rou-
tine administration of affairs of the
state institutions, charitable and educa-
tional, have been well spent. Greater
efficiency, better discipline, improved
methods for doing their appointed work,
cannot fail TO be observed by all ac-
quainted with the present condition of
the public institutions of Kansas. No
scandal has attached to the Office dur
ing Governor Clicks occupancy of the
executive chair. His demeanor, per-
sonal as well as pol teal, has been ev-
cry way worthy of commentator. His
work is not yet finished. He has prov

bic coadjutor and assistant of State
Agent Crawford in his great work of
restoring to the people the millions
not thousands merely-of acres of land
that corporations have attempted to
obtain from the public domain. This
heritage must be restored to the rightful
owners, and restitution be made to a
people robbed of their rights. Govern
or Click is doing his work well. The

democracy of Kansas will be-"Ge on"

We are always glad to hear of large
gains by growing animals of improved
blood, regardless of breed, sex or color.
This week we have to chronicle what
Mr. w. Shirley, of Comet, Brown coun-
ty, Kansas, says about ois Short-horn
calf.
1t was dropped March Sth, this year,
and on the 30th weighed 2lO pounds.
June lst it weighed at night 40 pounds
and September 1st at night weighed 700
pounds. October 10th, after standing
twelve hours in the lot, its weight was
$40 pounds. Since May 1st the calf, with
its dam had run in pasture of native
grass and had no other feed. Mr.. Shir-
ley says the calf is well proportioned
and not at all rough or LOBBY, and he
suggests that gain of 6lO pounds in
six months and ten days or rs pounds
per day from start of 210 pounds is
not bad.

of any sort, and if anybody else does we

that were no relation to him on the
mothers side, anu he had been senten-
ced to support them by taking in stairs
to scrub. No young man can look up-
on this two cent brindle stamp and look
up to and admire George Washington.
There is nothing about the face to in
spire confidence, and if he did not

whefs Ford's bullet struck, by forty
million people several times a day. 1t
is possible George Washington may be
played out as the front side of stamp,
in the minds of our rulers who believe
that the picture of man who could
not tell 4 lie is is a constant menace to
the great men of the present day who
can tell lie as easy as rolling OFF log,
and that they are making his picture a
worse looking one each year, hoping
the people will demand a change, but
the time will never come when any 9TH
er American that ever wore hair can
take the place of George as a post Of
flee stamp. Some of the latter day
statesmen may be prettier than George,
and they may have more money, and
they may dress better, but knowing
their weaknesses as the people do, they
can never put stamps containing pic
lures of recent statesmen on their
tongues with that feeling Of safety and
veneration with which they swallow
the mucllage from George. There has
always been a feeling that a letter
started from its destination, with q
green George Washington starap on the
upper right hand corner would get there,
without much fooling at way stations,
but since the new brindle two cent
stamp has been on duty, there has
grown up feeling that letter is liza
BILE to miscarry, and there in not that
confidence in the postal branch of the
government that there should be. In
many cases people continue to use the
old green stamp, regardless of the extra
cents worth, in order to show their re-
spect for the man who loved his country
50 well thot he would not steal it blind.
AS long as this brindie two cent carica-
ture of Washington is allowed to disfig-
ure the letters that pass through the
mails, no person need send dunning
letter to this Office expecting that any
attention will be paid to it. We are as
willing as anybody to pay our debts, but
patriotic love of &. Washington makes
it seem wrong 70 trifle with his feelings
by gazing unmoved upon that brindle
stamp. If he had any friends left they
would compel the government to desist
from irju Ing his reputation by that
cow colored stamp.
