THE tone of eastern commercial
journals regarding the trade situs-
ton continues depressing. Unfa.
vorable weather has retarded busl.
ness In all sections of the country,
and the effect Is seen In q marked de-
crease In the volume Of exchanges.
There is lenu complaint from the
west Of difficulty In making oolleo.
tions and the farmers generally
seem better provided with money
than at tho corresponding period Of
last year. In Nebraska especially,
outside Of the large towns, the feeling
is n of hopefulness, as planting has
progressed finely and the prospects fer
good crops make interior mer-
chants cheerful. There Is, how
ever, strongly conservative
temper on the part of pur.
chasers which makes Itself felt
In the csses of wholesalers and job
bers. Among this class of dis,ribu-
tors trade Is generally. reported as
dull, and the demand for new lines
of goods exceedingly restricted. There
is no change to note In the industrial
situation which continues unsatis
factory. The iron market has been
slightly stiffened by snticipations Of
tho impending strike which will cur.
tall production, and enhance the value
Of stocks In hand. Manufacturers Of
textile fabrics comp ain of the wors.
season for years and mills are running
on short time. The decline In the
stock market which began early last
week continued until the close when
prices became frmer. Mr.. Gouli'i
southwestern roads are suffering most
seriously In the decline. A reaction
seems to have set In In the English
market for American securities anc
adds new weakness 60 the bond list,
In consequence, prices are dropping
even for the fancy bonds.

Oh, how glad our hearts would be,
When the word to you would send,
That in few short days You would come
Atd with US some time would spend.
But that word no more on earth will be given,
No more on earth thy loved face We see,
But will strive hard, with Gods help,
To meet you in heaven.
For they have laid you in the grave, mother,
Beneath the cold, green sod,
And we arc left 70 weep, mother,
While your spirit is resting with God.
Dear mother, how bard II Is TO say
You are dead and from our sight buried away
But what comfort TO know Jesus has given
You sweet rest in heaven.

Children dear for you will wait;
Strive TO lead n holy life

How shall we Pa.s ahe Winter:


The summer is past and the long winter
months are now at hand, and it behOOvcs
every one to turn their attention 10 some
plan that shall make the winter evenings
pass not only pleasantly but In manner
that shall prove permanently profitable to
them. In the cities there is no lack of
amusement and entertainment in the
winter-somctimcs beneficial and instruc-
tive and sometimes worse than frivolous
and detriinental-but In small country
town very often there Is nothing at all to
occupy the time of the young people, anu
they are compelled to pass the evenings rs
best they can, seldom in beneficial way,
for the saying is as true rs it is old that
..Satan finds some mischief still FOR idle
hands (or minds) to do" In community
made up Of AS intelligent aud sTiablc u
class of people Ms Shepherdstown Is there
should be no lack of Legitimate entertain
ment, and we earnestly hope that the
coming winter will not be allowed to pass
without some means being provided for the
amusement and instruction Of our young
people. As To what this shall be We Ito not
presume 10 dictate, but would suggest
debating society, managed SO rs to create
and maintain an interest, or reading
club, or musical society, or anything
else that has n tendency to improve the
mind or furnish pure and harmless reerea-
ton and amusement. As TO the first
named idea, there can certainly be found
enough persons In this town who delight
i'm an argument TO organize creditaDle
body, and il is plain to all that 1t would
Re vastly beneficial to those who partici-
pate, especially to the young persons, who
would thus acquire that ease of manner
and nucncy OF expression that can only be
attained by experience and which they so
often envy in others; beside, there is
much knowledge to be gained in tie
batting proper subjects, and it would
prove edifying in other ways. n
reading club would also prove source
of entertainment to many, for it would be
something that all could participate in in
some way or another, and that too with
out having to take the time from other
occupations to prepare for. We are sure
that some one who is versed In elocution
would be willing to lend helping hand
and instruct those who need and desire TO
read correctly and pleasingly. AS to a
musical society, we know that there is
enough talent in ShepEerdstOwn to COM
pose Il most creditable organization. and
this while being pleasant socially would
also prove profitable and Instructive to
those who have u soul for song and mind
for music. Any or all of the above men,
toned suggestions, it seems to us, could
easily be complied with, and We trust that
some steps will be taken to carry them
out, or if something better is thought OF
we shall be equally glad to sec it adopted.
AT any rate, something ought to be done
90 afford the community an opportunity
To pass the winter pleasantly and profit
ably and improve the minds of our people
young and old.
