Pond Run Items.

ED. FREEMAN Farmers have
commenced blowing, clearing up
land, and getting ready for plant
ing.
The weather, though stormy and
cold, is very favorable for good
crop Of fruit, and I am told that on
these high hills, peaches cherries
and apples seldom fail, and black
berries and raspberries are pro-
duced in the greatest profus;on.
Some varieties Of plums and grapes
are said to rot badly.
In spite of the severe winter,
meadows and pastures are fast put
ting on their robes of green, and
wheat and rye fields are improv-
ing in appearance.
Between here and Park ersburg, Mr..
Vincent has several acres in straw
berries and raspoerries, and they
have all come through the winter
in splendid condition. His Ores
cent Seeding straw berries, and
Brandywine and Doolittle rasp-
berries, in particular, look as if
they mean business in the way of
producing an enormous crop of de-
licious berries. If you want to
know anything about small fruits,
Just ask Mr. Vincent.
Mr. Headley has been very badly
afflicted most of the winter with a
very malignant felon on his hand,
but it is nearly or quite well now.
HIS wife, also, has been unwell
through the winter They are good
neighbors, and it is sincerely
hoped that prosperity may soon
return to them.
AS general thing, health is
good and the people prosperous,
and nearly or quite all the few
cases of want and restitution can

To Butter Makers.

ED. FREEMAN: | have been using
the Improved Union Churn for
nearly two years, and can conscien-
tiously say, that no one can do
without it without sustaining loss,
FROM the following reasons. 1t
churns much sooner and easier
than other chHrns, is easier han
died, makes more butter, and of bet
ter quality, is much easier kept
clean, is durable, and not likely to
get out of order.
Three years ago patent churns
were looked upon as humbugs, but
through the efforts Of Mr.. &. M.
McGinnis, "a few in this communi-
ty were induced to buy, and being
we'll pleased have used their inau-
ence in getting their friends to buy
the Union churn. Sales have been
increasing in this way until most
of the leading citizens in this coun-
ty and many in adjoining counties
have bought. | am not interested
in this matter, but should any
want information, let them
apply to the following persons: D.
f. Raymond, Sheriff of Richie
county, W. Va, the Sheriffof Tyler
county, or Judge Stewart, of bod
bridge county.
Mr.. E. NJ. McGinnis, of Mole Hill,
Richie county, W. Va, is General
Agent, Any one can secure
churn through him.

The Welf's Summit Murder
Who is Responsible!
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, April 3.

CLARKsBURG, w. VA, April 3.
ED. FREEMAN: Another man
murdered near VOLTS Summit, In
Harrison county, on the night OF
the 18th of March. Whisky at the
bottom of it. The story as it is told
here is, that Jacob Fulse and two
other men by the name Of Starkey,
met at the houseof Jacob Carder,
all under the influence of bad whls-
ky. One Of the party drew a bar
low knife and said, II want a clean
house." and stabbed Fulse to the
heart. He died Immediately. A
coroner's inquest WIS held on Sat
urday 1t appears from the inVes-
tigation that it could not be ascer-
tanned to certainty which of the
three killed Fulse, SO Carder and
the two Starkeys were all arrested
and lodged in Jail at this place.
Question: Who is to blame for
this bloody deed? 1st, The man
who committed the crime. I'd, The
man who sold the whisky. Sd, The
people who voted for the Court who
licensed the whisky dealer, and,
4th, the men Of the Court who le-
galized or authorized by their act
the man who did the crime. When
Oh, when will our people get their
eyes open to this evil of all evils
the sale Of whisky? The eleven
honorable Senators said, "Let them
die the death we care not for their
souls, their wives nor their chill
dren." At their doors will lie ma
ny sins. Would to God that ey-
cry family would take the FREE
MAN, and read from week to week
its teachings and solemn warnings.
Yours in the good work,

Prohibition the Remedy.

AS before said, Prohibition is the
natural and legal remedy for the
widespread evils and dire calami-
ties of the drink trade.
Of course the liquor sellers are all
opposed to that which will break
up their miserable, soul-destroying
traffic, and it is just as true that all
who join them in opposing prohi-
bition are logically partners in the
legalized crime ofliquor-selling and
with them share all the RESPONSE
bilities of its natural and fearful re-
suits.
He who votes to license the sale
of liquors as a beverage, votes to
nerve the arm Of the robber, to in
flame the lust of the seducer, to
sharpen the knife of the assassin,
and to send abroad a moral leprosy
to pollute society with its deadly
virus.
All honor to the faithful mem
bers of the Legislature who voted
to shield our communities from
these terrible curses and plaques.
And as to the twenty-five members
who voted to perpetuate these evils
in our midst, GOOD forgive them,
for they knew not what they did.

and defy you. BegoneW
The fathers and mothers in the
ranks now cry out:
"Our homes,-the fathers, sons
and brothers in them, are ia grow
ing jeopardy. We cry in dread
alarm to yeu,-see to do it, to help
US save them"
A Senator who insults womanhood
and defames himself thereby, rises:
"You women better be at home
taking care of the children-and
as to the homes, &c. what if tits as
say? Can't you understand the
saloon-power? whose servants we
are, who care no more for 10000
blasted homes, than for the reeIing
wretches they kick out of doors
when their moneys spent? Come
to us to take any thought for your
home and all in them! Didn't you
hear my brother from the river city
tell you, people have no rights the
,liquor-power in the least respect?
And now ! add: your "homes" can
have no woes, no wreck and rUi@,
that power isn't ready any hour Of
day or night, to pile from threshold
to hearth-stone for you; and we,
tools of that power, have an adder's
ear for you. Better be at home ;
you don't understand the matter"
"But some of you got your cleo
don by promising TO give this right
to the people" Then up rose the
Hon. --; chat means me! l
dGd lie myself into the place, and
act the hypocrite, as you charge,
but you were fools enough to elect
and trust me. Don't you know,
that any satrap Of the saloon-power
is their helpless minion ? must lie,
do any perfdy, any internal mean
ness, Just as | and some of the rest
of us, Illuminated Dunces, dixie the
Registers Gov Click dispatch, e. g.)
have done at their bidding? Ii
quor knows but one pledge that's
binding, and that is, to stand by
the running against heaven and
earth. There is no autocrat on
earth, knocking a man away from
everything decent, just, humane,
honest and religious, like it. It's
the Boss Despot left on earth. I'm
ashamed Of my company"
Once more the phalanx of petit
TONERS call out "Shall we have no
answer to our petition ?" Mr..
Speaker, for the E7eoen: mo; we
have our foot on your necks. We
dash back your twenty thousand
voiced prayer! We Ele0en decide,
you -shall-not-vote. You, unheioed,
shall wear the bloody chain, carry
the four-fold bundle of crime, and
its costs; rear Il growing brood of
drunkards in your homes; widows
and children shall go wailing and
moaning, and crime, and shame,
and liquors miseries, shall be
bound by law upon you; for we
want political office and liquor to
rule the ballot box, and we eLeUen
slaves Of liquor leagues defy your
prayer and disdain your petition

that Stanley Matthews be appointed a
