A FILE OF OLD ALMANACs.-S. T.
Wiley, the author of "a History of
Monongalia county," has found a
file of almanacs nearly a hundred
years old. He says:
1904 is represented by THE Good
Old Virginia Almanack," printed by
Thomas Nicholson, first house below
the Capitol, at Richmond. The al
manac is about as long and wide as
the New Testament. 1t contains
weather predictions, list Of County
Courts in Virginia, with meetings of
all the courts in the State. Then
follows a list of members of the
Senate,Idivided into four classes, each
composed of number of districts.
Preston at that time was a part of
Monongalia, which was in one of
five districts embraced in Class No.
8, and it (the district) was composed
of Monengalia, Ohio, Harrison and
Randolph counties, and was repre-
scented in the State Senate by Thorn
as Wilson, of Morgantown, Monon-
gala county.
In the House of Delegates Monon-
gala county was represented by
Wilson, John and Dudley Evans;
Greenbrier, by VIM. Cavendish and
John Mathews; Harrison, by John
Prunty and Ed. jackson; Kanawha,
by And. Donnelly and VIM. Glen
dennen; Ohio, by John Morgan and
VIM. Mckinley; Randolph, by VIM.
Wilson and John Haddon; Wood, by
j. G. Herndon and Hez. Baker. At
ter this follows medical directions
and agricultural receipts and facts.
1905 and 1906 are missing, and
1907 is printed by Nicholson, who
has changed his base of operations
and advertises as near the Bank of
Virginia. In this year Monongalia
remains unchanged in Senatorial
classification and is still represented
by Thos. Wilson. In the House of
Delegates Benjamin Reeder and bud
ley Evans are the accredited repre-
sentatives of Monongalia. Harrison
sent John Prunty and Elias Lowther,
and Ohio Thos. Evans and John
Morgan.

That MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM.-
Additional answers to the problem
published in the New DOMINION two
weeks ago have been coming in stead
lily during the past week Unfortu-
nately many of those who tackled
the problem do not seem to have
grasped its meaning. We do not
feel at liberty to publish the names
of those who shot and missed the
mark; but we will say that our waste
basket, which holds about two bush
els, has been compelled to put its
hands on its sides to keep from
bursting. Interpret this as you
please. The correct answer is 5 hours,
which several of our correspondents
have gotten. One thinks it's l hr.
and Sc min, another that it's 2 hr.,
81 min. and 37t Sec, another that
it's hr. 81 min. and 16 Is Sec, and
so forth.
One of the shortest and neatest
analyses is that furnished by Miss
Ella Simpson, which was mentioned
last week and which we publish be-
low. This will, OF course end the
matter:
Suppose one man can clear one bu
in one min, then six men can clear
six bus. in one min. and in sixty
min. they can clear $50 blu. On the
same supposition II men in one min.
can clear IL bu. and in twenty min
they can clear 220 blu. If in one hr
$50 bu. are cleared and in twenty
min. 220 Blu. leach time the dock be
ing cleared) what runs on in sixty
min. minus twenty min., or forty min
must be the difference between 36C
bu. and 220 blu. or 140 b.; if 14O bu
runs on in 40 min, in one min. 81
blu. will run on. Since one man can
clear one blu. in one min. four men
can clear four bu., or J blu. more than
runs on in one min. If 81 blu. runs
on in one min. in sixty min. 210 bu
will run on; since $50 bu. is cleared
in sixty min. and 21O blu. will run on
there must have been on dock in the
first place $50 minus 21O bu., or 15(
blu. Four men can clear ] blu. more
than runs on in one min. to clear 15(
bu. more than runs on it will take as
many minutes as blu. is contained
times into $50 bu. which is 800
hence it will take 300 min, or 5 hr
for four men to clear the dock.

Greenbacker Knocks Them Cold.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION
I saw sometime ago an article in
the New DOMINION entitled, zone
dark spot The Morgantown Post
of Dec. 9th replies to it and says:
"What are you going to do about the
prejudice that blinds the republican
majority of Goo strong) of our peo-
ple." / have waited to see reply
but failing to see any, ask permits
sion to make brief one.
We have done oar work Mr.. Post.
The republican leaders have done
yours. We have elected Cleveland
President of the United States for
four years. You have taught these
people to believe that if Cleveland
was elected certain things would hap
pen. What are they?
1, That all Union soldiers would
be deprived of their pensions.
2, All rebel soldiers would be pef-
stoned.
3, The Government would assume
the rebel debt.
4, The Democrats will adopt free
trade
5, They will reduce workingmen's
wages one-half
6. Workingmen will not be able to
support their families.
7th Working people will all be-
come paupers.
s, The free schools will all be abol-
ished.
9, Our manufacturers will all be
ruined. And all manufactured arti-
cles that the people will use will be
made in England.
10, That our money will be worth
less,
Now, Mr.. Post when the people find
out in the next four years that these are
all republican lies, gotten up to fright
en- the people into voting the repub-
lican ticket there will be nothing
more to do. The scales will fall from
the eyes of the GOO strong) and they
will fall into line with the party that
advocates the workingman's cause.
President Arthur in his message
has sent a bombshell into the repub-
lcan ranks, and another one has ex-
ploded by the discovery that the
Democrats introduced the free
schools into this State as early as
1916; therefore the Democratic party
is the father of the Free School sys-
tenn in West Virginia and not the re-
publican party. GREENBAcKER.
