THERE is no better place in the
United States for the small farmer,
than Morgan county.-Neaos. There
is no better place in the world than
Old Monongalia for small farmers,
nor for larger ones either. We have
a rich soil and pure air and water.
In fact we have everything that goes
to make good agricultural county.
In addition to this we have vast
amount of undeveloped mineral re-
sources. All we want is men and
capital to develop them. And these
we expect to have in the second cen
fury of our existence, which will
commence in the near future.
SINCE the corporate limits Of Nor
gantown were extended the talk
about extending streets and alleys
through the territory embraced in
the addition and the laying out Of
town lots has not as yet made much
progress. We hope the ardor Of the
enterprising citizens of this ward will
not be allowed to cool but that they
will make this end of the town the
seat of enterprise and business. Lib
erality and enterprise will pay and
those most interested are the prop
erty owners in the addition. Gentle
man lay out your town lots and
streets and purchasers will be or
hand ready to take the lots at fail
prices. Don't wait another hundred
years for Morgantown to become Q
city.

The Spirit-Hand Trick.

The spirit-hand trick is performed in
this way: The medium puts a hand
made of stuffed glove up his leg and
attached by an elastic string to his
waist. When the dark seance COM
mences he gets the hand down to the
end of his foot, extends his foot to the
opposite side of the table at which he is
sitting, and waves the stuffed glove
about. If little phosphorus be rubbed
on it the effect is better. When the per-
formance has been gone through all
that the medium has to do is to let the
hand spring back underneath his
trouser. The floating trick is perform
ed by taking off the boots and putting
the hands in them. The hands are
then waved above a persons head, who
grasps the boots and feels the arms of
the coat, which he takes for legs. Of
course so long as people are prepared
to pay money for witnessing these TOM
fooleries knaves will be found to prac-
tice them.-Londo1a Truth.

Tinkering the English Language.

Some grammatical crank recently
succeeded in getting up quite a little
boom over a proposed new pronoun,
"Thon,' Cmpersonal, singular num-
ber,) and it is stated that some of the
teachers in the public schools at Lewis
town, Maine, have commenced teach
ing it.
The Sun, while always glad and will
ing. to lend helping hand to any edu-
cational enterprise that seems to be
needed, desires to enter vigorous pro-
test against this on general principles,
and especially:
1. 1t is not needed. There is no eyi-
dence that English-speaking people are
suffering, or have ever suffered, from
the lack of pronouns. ANY person of
fair, common-school education can gen.
orally lay his or her (here is where
"thon" would come in) tongue ON a
pronoun that fits well enough when re-
quired. If the inventor of 'tRon," wants
to place pronoun where it will do the
most good, let him introduce it in
France, where they have no neuter gen.
der, everything being either she" or
"she."
z. 1t is as much as the average citi-
zen can stand now to procure the school
books deemed necessary by teachers
and school-book manufacturers, the
changes being so frequent, and the
adoption of 'thon" would cause an en-
tire revolution and enough profanity on
the part of parents (male understood
to seriously cripple their chances of
happiness hereafter. A case in point:
A family moved to Milwaukee last Sep
tember from Chicago. There were two
school-children, one advanced enough
for the high school. Up to date their
books have cost about fifteen dollars.
and new calls every few weeks, while
the ones they used in Chicago are use
less here.
The superficial observer may think
that the adoption of such little word
as ''thon' would affect only the gram
mars; but let not thon "lay that fiatter-
ing JUNCTION to thon's SOUL" The school
book fiend would not let up after once
having achieved the grammar. A re-
vised spelling book would follow, then
a geography, and so on, until the entire
list was filled, even to copy-books and |
blank books for exercises. Fancy an
example in arithmetic: eff a person !
buys string of bananas at the rate of |
SIX for quarter, and finds half of them
worthless, and sells half of the sound
ones at an advance of fifty per cent,
how long will it take thon to realize q
fair profit on thon's investmentp''
3. Once let "thon'' get the upper
hand, and it would not be long before |
''thee, y ''thon'' and 'thine'' would be
mixed in, and America would become a
nation of Quakers as to speech, with
out their many virtues.
II love, you love, he loves, they love,
thon lowest" etc. Shoot the thon!
"Hey diddle didde, my son john
J, he, she, they, and likewise "thon."

order evergreens to be sent separately
from other trees and later in the sea-
son, say during May, or even June, IT
the season is backward and the new
shoots have not made much growth.
They should be fresh-dug, quick
packed and soon received. The ten
der point about an evergreen Is Its
root. Ifonce dried, it seldom RECEIVERS.
1t is very important, therefore, that
the roots should be carefully protected
from sun and wind. II possible, take
cloudy or showery day for handling
evergreens. Ifthe right conditions
do not exist, keep the roots constant
ly wet and rolled up in mating. If
there are Il great rnsny To be hauled
rs for hedging, keep them trenched in
moist soil, removing only few at =
time.-American Agrculturist.
OF all classes of business men, fruit
growers should be the slowest to take
things from hearsay. Nothing but de-
monstrable facts should satisfy them.
Their business is dealing with "fu-
tures," too far remote to be tritied
with. They plant trees to bear fruit not
next autumn, like u field OF corn, but
| five or twenty years from now. Hence
they must be very sure that the tree
they plant this spring is not only of
the best age and shape, but of the va
risty best adapted to their purpose.
How are they to know this? Only in
one way by actual experiment. A
grower sees beautiful specimen of
fruit and finds it hiyA!y recommended.
The fruit pleases him; us a specimen
it seems perfect; but unfortunately it
was grown many miles away, or in an
other State, and how Is he to know it
Will succeed on his farm? The soil
may be different, perhaps the climate
is also. His only sure way will be, to
! buy five or ten trees, plant them in n
specimen orchard and see. In due
time he will know whether to plant
that variety by the hundred, or dig up
| the trees he has. II every one of his
neighbors also had few trees on trial,
sheir united testimony would be con-
| elusive for that locality. This should
apply to small fruits as well. The
big Bob" may be the biggest of
Strawberries, but how can we know it
is the best for lis, if fnot by actual trial (?
Let each grower set apart a. plot of
ground for specimen orchard, and
each year add several new varieties.
Give an average amount of care and
| cultivation, and carefully note the
| growth, habit and peculiarities of the
trees, and finally the fruit of each.
| The writer has such an orchard of
trees, gathered from four States. It
| comprises new varieties and "promis-
ing seedlings" The trees are not yet
large enough to bear, but if the future
profits equal the present pleasure of
comparing the different trees, the
venture will be a very satisfactory one
| to say nothing of the information
| gained.-American Agricultural for

"It is two fold. In the first place,
Michael Doran and Patrick III. Kelly
are simply the mouthpieces of Jim
Hill. Jim is the deus eX machina,
the colored gentlemen under the wood
pile; the new leader of the reformed
Democracy of Minnesota. Jim don't
approve of my granger legislation in
the past, or my granger proclivities in
the present, or my granger possibili-
ties In the future. Jim has just man
ipulated the last legislature, to pre-
vent anti-railroad action, and he has
imported $50 more black bulls and
will be ready to reason with the next
legislature. Jim is great man. He
proposes to reduce the people to SUBJ
mission. His idea of a well condition
ed agricultural community is repre-
sented in its muley bulls, all milk
and no horns. He has taken q con-
tract to stamp me out, and the coward

People generally, and even those
who may be termed steady readers
and close observers, have but faint
conception of the magnitude and in
tuence the press of this country has
attained. From careful examina-
ton Of the advance pages of the 1885
edition of the American Newspaper
Directory, issued May 1st, by George
P. Rowell & Co., of New York, it ap-
pears that there are IA, 147 newspapers
and periodicals publish ed in the Uni
ted States and Canada; of these the
United States has 1878, an average
of one paper for every 1857 persons.
In 1884 the total number ofnewspapers
was less by 823 than at present, and
while the gain this year is not 50
marked as in some previous years, it
is still considerable, Kansas shows
the greatest increase, the number be-
ing 78, while Illinois follows with
gain Off. 1t is curious to notice that
New York, the scene of 80 much poll
tical activity during the last cam
paign, should have only about one
third as many new papers as the
State of Pennsylvania. As an index
to the comparative growth and pros
perity Of different sections of the
country, especially the Territories,
the number of new papers form all in
teresting study, and may well occupy
