We are astonished that some of the
leaders of public opinion among the
press in this State are opposed to the
Blair educational bill now before
Congress. We defy the ablest of
them to give reason for the faith
that is in them. The bill is one of
the wisest, most humane and bene-
fetal in its scope ever before Con
gress. Perhaps some people have
not read it, and are therefore opposed
to it, and for their benefit we will
say the scheme Of the bill is to do
nate to the States according to illit-
eracy among their people millions OF
dollars for educational purposes.
The bulk Of it would come to the
Southern States. Unhappily, litter
acy is greater there than elsewhere

remember those recently in the

The Southern CuItivator,

We are in receipt of the January
number of this sterling Agricultural
journal. 1t has been changed in
form, being made more compact
magazine size-and can be handled
with greater satisfaction and pre-
served in better condition than the
old form.
This issue numbers over seventy
pages, and in quantity it is ahead of
any agricultural publication that
comes to our office while in quality it
is the only journal of its kind that is
fully adapted to the needs of our
Southern farmers. The very best
Southern talent is employed in it's
columns. The "Thoughts for the
Month";" and the Enquiry Depart
mcnt," are alone worth the subscrip-
ton price. The paper has pages for
special departments of farm work,
and they are full and interesting.
Without enumeration of excellencies
of this magnificent journal, we advise
each and every one not a subscriber,
to send $3.50 to Jas. P. Harrison Il
Co., Atlanta, Ga, for years sub
scription, or if they prefer, we will
send our paper and The Culticator

Kdnawha Gazette.
ROBBERY AT WELLsBURG.-The
Wellsburg Ne,os gives the following
account of robbery in that place.
Volhardt is known to some of our
people and the article may be of
some interest to them:
Our town was considerably ex-
cited last Sunday by the news that
robbery had been committed the
night before at the residence of Mr..
Louis Volhardt, the we'll known Ger
man barber Various rumOrs were
afoat, and each one seemed to have
his own version of the affair and the
amount of booty secured by the bur-
glars. 1t was learned that the house
had been entered some time prior to
9 o'clock Saturday evening, in the
absence of the family, and a tin box
carried off. con tanning about 81, 900
in gold and silver coin, and three
Brooke county bonds of $500 each.
Several parties were suspected of the
theft and arrested, among them Chas.
Volhardt, son, who made a confes-
sion, duplicating John Headington
and ''Posey" Cheek. The money
was nearly all recovered, but the
bonds had been burned. A prelimi
nary examination was had before
Squire Quest on Monday, counsel
for Volhardt claiming that he was
not accountable and that there was
not sufficient evidence to hold him.
Testimony was introduced showing
the prisoner was Of peculiar
nature, a number of witnesses testi-
flying to this fact, and Volhardt and
Cheek were discharged. John Head
ington was given hearing by the
same Justice on Tuesday, and bound
over in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance before the Grand Jury, he
having disclosed the place where
some 5000 of the money was secret
ed. Great indignation was mani
tested by many citizens at the ac-
tions of Squire Quest in committing
Headington to jail after discharging
the others, the general opinion being
that the evidence did not warrant
such decision, and that as the other
two had escaped so easily he should
have been discharged also. In fact,
so intense was the feeling Of the peo-
pie in regard to what was considered
an outrage on justice, that Sheriff
Brown deemed it advisable to remsve
the prisoner to Wheeling for safe
keeping. for fear he would be rescued
from jail.
