RAvAGES OF THE MEASLEs-SAD Az
FICTION OF A FAMILY.
WADEsTowN, Feb'y 2O.-The peo-
pie of this section have been suffer
ing from most terrible scourge of
measles. A boy who had them at
tended the Henderson school and
broke out while there, and every
child in the school, there being 80,
took them. They are in Ia families
in this school district.
There were two families, none of
whom had ever had measles; one of
them, that of Mr.. John v. Maple,
had six children in school. They
all caught them and were very bad.
When they began to recover, the
father, mother and oldest. brother
took them; yesterday the father and
mother were buried in the same
grave The event has cast a gloom
over the entire neighborhood, as none
were more loved and respected than
they. They leave ten children to
mourn their loss. The two oldest
are married and the youngest is a
little past two years old.

WHEN one takes into consideration
the saving of hours of valuable time
and the consequent lesser expense in
attending the Inauguration via the
B. \ O., it would be some pretty
strong inducement to create q desire
to 60 to the National Capitol by any
other line. Leaving ST. Louis In the
morning, Cincinnati in the evening,
Washington 10 reached the next day
at one o'clock, six hours in advance
ofthe fastest trains on other lines.

The COLD SNAP-GREAT SUFFER.
ING IN OTHER SEcTroNs.-The cold
wave that has covered the country
for nine days past. and is beginning
to recede slowly, is said to have been
the most severe experienced here fer
many years. Since Tuesday morn
ing, the 10th inst, the thermometer
has averaged about zero, going as
much as fourteen below at night and
rising sometimes to as many above
through the day. We have no rec
ords at hand from which to get in
formation, but are inclined to credit
the statements of many of our old
citizens, few of whom have any
recollection of such long cold spell.
In the immediate vicinity very little
If any suffering was experienced,
but in some of the counties of this
State the situation is reported to be
deplorable.. Saturdays Weston Dem
oc'at gives the following in refer
ence to it: 'sWe are informed by gen
tlemen who came to this place yes
terday to buy grain that great dis
tress exists in the western portion of
Lewis and in Gilmer, Braxton and
Calhoun, caused by the unheard of
scarcity of grain and feed. The Sc
we're drought of last summer almost
entirely ruined the meadows and
grain crop-many of the best farm
ers not gathering one-third ola crop
thus placing renters" and very
poor people in a state of absolute
want. To make matters still worse,
comes winter of unusual severity;
and whole neighborhoods of people
not to speak of the live stock
are absolutely famished for the want
of proper food. Our informants tell
us that long before Christmas every
bushel of grain was consumed, and
since then the only way of obtaining
bread-stuff was by the Clarksburg
d Weston railway, and thence by
teams to the localities named. They
think that but for our railroads many
persons would actually have starved
to death. The merchants and others
who are hauling grain are acting
very fair with the sufferers, and have
not in any instance, SO far as is
known, attempted to be extortionate.
The outlook for stock of all kinds is
gloomy indeed. Numbers of cattle
and sheep have been turned out to
shift for themselves, and have died
for lack of food. Steers for which
S35 head was refused last spring
can now be had for $40 or less.
Rough feed of every kind is entirely
exhausted; and browsing" such
weather as this, is almost an impos-
sibility.

The noted Throughout system on
the B. 4 0. affords unequalled oppor-
tunities for journeying without extra
expense, its solid trains passing from
terminal points to Washinton without
change of cars of any class, even to
the baggage car. To all trains are
attached superb sleeping and parlor
cars, for the faultless accommodation
of those who prefer travelling in that
way.

PATRoNIzE HOME INSTITUTIONS
You should patronize your home in
situations for in building up home
affairs you build up yourself. If you
pay to your neighbor dollar for
some service which he is able to rem
der you, you just make him able to
spend one more dollar and the chan
ces are that you may at some time
derive benefit from it. If you paw
that dollar to some person who is
not your neighbor the chances are
all against your ever deriving any
benefit from it. The persons who go
from here to other places to purchase
goods build up those places at the
expense of this, and in so doing build
up other people at their own expense.
The business man in a community
who goes from home to have service
done for him which could be done at
home is striking direct blow at
every other business in his midst
and through it at himself. If COM
munity will do that which will tend
most to it's prosperity, it will employ
its home people to build its houses,
to make it's railroads and do all other
work it may have to do. 1t will pa
tronize its own merchants, it's own
mills, its own printers, its own bust
ness men of all classes.-Republican.

The fact that the only Other line
from the West must reach Was hing
ton by circuitous route, and that
all its passenger traffic from the
North and East must combine with
all its western traffic on the forty odd
miles into the national capital, is the
strongest of arguments in favor of
the B. d O., which enters Washing
ton from the West by one division,
and enters from the North and East
by another. Those who want to get
into Washington will go by the B.
IL 0. and be assured of remaining in
the cars until they reach the city

The WHEAT CRoP.-In converse
tion with farmers from nearly every
section of the county we learn that
the wheat crop is very badly dam :
aged. Most of the gentlemen placed
the probable yield at less than half
crop, and several at very much less,
while few say the wheat in many
localities will not be worth cutting.
OF course these are only opinions
and given for what they are worth.
We do not doubt however that the
crop is damaged more or less all
through this section of country.

STREET DISTURBANCE--SEv
WoULE-BE -SULLIvANs KNOCKED Our.
On Monday last several of the
Harris and Hayes came to town NO
doubt with the intention of raising a
row, several of them having been
spilin' for fight for some time.
They managed TO get outside of a
considerable quantity of converse
ton water when one Of them march
ed down the street in a rather bois-
ferrous manner looking for some one
to pulverize. He soon encountered
Sergeant Kiger, who was set upon by
the whole gang, when he attempted
to arrest the aggressor. Kiger sum-
moned to his assistance Isaac Weav-
er. Ike, although not a fighter, is
reckoned pretty good man, and the
other fellows now think he is a bad
man to "fool with" Several of the
parties struck him and started out
to click" him in the most approved
style. He, to protect himself, struck
out in several directions planting
his fist about the mug of man
every time, one blow being sufficient
to settle each fellow. Jake Slime,
who has been in Arizona for some
time, was also called to assist the
Sergeant and his deputy. His valor
and muscle also did good service,
and in short time the mob was
quelled and three of the participants
lodged in Jail. Such scenes are dis
graceful, and few lessons summari-
ly administered like this one, might
have tendency to inspire some re-
spect for the law on the part of the
fellows who always delight to raise
such disturbances. We trust, how
ever, that our streets will not again
witness such q disturbance.

That's lust What it Ys..s


Baron Alfred Tennyson can take a
sheet of note paper, write s'poem" on it,
and make it worth matter of $4,000 to
$4,000. That's genius.
William H. Vanderbilt can pen few
lines on sheet of legal cap, and it be-
comes worth anywhere from $ 100000 to
$4,000, 900, as the case may be. That's
capital.
You can buy a bottle Of PERuNA for
$1.oo, and save large doctor bills. That's
business.
Mr.. w. D. Stokes, Baton Rouge, La,
writes: 81 had chronic catarrh very badly,
noise in the ears, and nearly deaf. fused
am now we'll; can hear the tick of a watch
ten feet. Your PERUNA is wonderful
medicine" .
! J. c. Hightower, druggist, Clayton,
Ala, writes: "DR. S. B. HARTMAN &
Co., Columbus, Ohio, a customer of mine,
who has been troubled with dry catarrh
for long time, has been corresponding
with w. D. Stokes, of Baton Rouge, La,
who claims he has been cured by your
PERUNA. My customer wants to know
if any other medicine must be used with
it; he intends to try it. I am selling
quantities Vi your IERUNA, IL was oHly
introduced here last spring, but it sells
faster than any other remedy"
CHRONIC CATARRH.-Mr.J j.. Healey,
formerly of IA Camp street, New Or
leans, had chronic catarrh, bronchitis and
asthma; was in a dying condition. DR..
Hartman cured him with PERUNA.
Mrs. E. Kenner, 90 Laurel street, New
Orleans, had chronic catarrh, which had
caused the most fearful neuralgia of the
face for one whole year. No mortal ever
suffered as she has. DIR. Hartman cured
her with PERUNA.
Mrs. E. K. flor address write to DR..
Hartman, Columbus, Ohio,) had chronic
catarrh in its worst forms, causing the
most fearful cramps of the stomach. The
suffering and distress was almost unen-
durable, and it continued day and night,
month in and out. All doctors had failed.
DIR. Hartman cured her with PERUNA.
PILEs.-Mr. F. Brown, 400 Gravier
street, had external and internal bleeding
piles; suffered intolerably; could not work
any more. DR.. H. cured him with Pc
RUNA.
PERUNA is now sold by all respectable
druggists. They have also DR.. Hartman's
book, called "The Ills of Life" for gratui-
tious distribution. 1t is the greatest book
that has ever been written. Call and get
one. .
PERUNA is wonderful medicine.
