A large portion of the wood man

For many purposes it is really SUI

cut the crop of one field with it, he
is notified that Its patent is contes-

have lawsuit on his hands he
pays the royalty asked by the con.
testing firm, and is lucky if he has
not to pay three or feur times more
before he is done. The same is the

The farmers of Georgia, in the
opinion of the Augusta Chronicle,
who run their places on credit sys-
tenn, appear to be between the devil
and the deep sea. They pay, ac
cording to Mr.. Wood, of Walker, IS
or 20 per cent. to Nelson, Barker 81
Co., or, according to Mr.. Bartlett,
of Bib, from so to 70 per cent. to
merchants. Either farming is the
most profitable of all callings, or
Georgia farmers, who borrow money,
are on the road to ruin.

Ingersoll is making infidels faster
than Moody is making Christians,
and Moody is making Christians fas-
er than any other man in the world.
The best men of the day are running
to atheism. The danger lies in the
direction ofatheism. But Ingersoll
has never attacked my God. The
devil himself hasn't brass and
cheek enough to attack the God
who is love, and nothing but love.
1 believe IngersoH is an honest inf
del. could not defend the God he
attacks. If / had no other God to
believe in than God who kills
half the human race In infancy,
brings misery to the other half, and
sits clipping off the lives of human
beings, as with shears, with every
tick ,of the clock, tell you my
friends, I'd be an atheist, too.

The present and prospective importance
OF the mining industries OF West Virginia
is fully recognized and already plans have
been made for q geological survey 80
thorough as to properly designate the
great mineral wealth Of that region. A
geological survey must be preceded by a
topographic survey in order that the geolo-
gical structure Of the country may
be appropriately represented, and the
iniatory work OF the topographic
survey has already been commenced
with the establishment Of certain geodetic
points and the compilation OF the railroad
and river surveys OF the State. Il is pro-
posed to push the work in the field with
all vigor during the coming season and
continue the survey-topographic and geo.
logic-until the atlas Of West Virginia
shall be constructed accurately, represent
ing its geographic features, geologic struc-
ture AMI mineral wealth. The atlas will be
accompanied by descriptive reports.
You express wish Tor me to take charge
in person OF the field parties making q
survey in West Virginia. This l hope to
