Winter Boots.

The fall of the year is n hard time on
the constitution, and any exposure
you might subject yourselves to, might
prove to be dangerous experiment.
We would therefore recommend that
you buy your Boots early and get
them broken before the hard weather
sets in.
Our stock is simply immense. We
think we have the largest supply in
town of New Stock. There might be
some who have more, including their
old stock, but we have nothing Of the
kind to contend with. We have but
5 pairs of Boots that we carried over,
and they are for sale at cost. 60
come and examine our New Fresh
Stock of these goods, and remember
we sell Boots like we sell everything
else, down at the rock bottom prices.
We have the lead and intend TO
keep it, and don't you forget it.

very perceptible earthquake shock was
felt in Shepherdstown and vicinity, and
the morning papers OH Wednesday
show ed that the shock was a general
one. In this place it wss noticed at
ten minutes before ten o'clock, an d
lasted about half minute. Windows
were shaken, beds were rocked, and
walls were Jared. The movement
seemed to have been most noticeable in
the low-lying portions of the town. The
earthquake seemed to be felt most Sc
verely in the South. and appeared to
travel from southwest toward northeast.
At Charleston, w. Va, chimneys were
toppled over and the people were badly
frightened. 1t is said that great dam
age was caused at Charleston, S. c., but

shock was felt in New York, and from

Mr. Melvin and Temperance

OERARDSIOWN, august -. i0o"'
Dear Bro. Morgan Some two years
ago at Leetowu, during public talk at
a temperance picnic, in answer to the
oft asked question, "Why don't you tenn
perance people vote for temperance
men 2" stated that we had been deceiv-
eddy Jacob S. Melvin, who had repre-
scented this district in the State Senate.
In explanation of this statement de-
clared that Mr.. Melvin had told me,
without any hesitation or mental reser-
walton whatsoever, that he would cast
his vote in the Senate, if nominated and
elected, to submit the temperance ques-
ton, as then mooted, to the people for
their decision at the polls. understand
that Bro. j. l.. Thomas repeated this
statement during the temperance en-
campment at Shenandoah Junction last
week, and that Mr.. Melvin and his
friends deny that he ever made any
promise TO any one to submit the matter
to the people. viii you be kind enough
to state what you heard j. S. Melvin
say upon this matter in your office when
he was seeking the nomination for the
State Senate. By your answer | stand or

creak as though some one was walk
ing. All! it was his mamma this
time. Surely now he had caught her
this time. He darted behind the
stove, reached out his hand and grab
bed-sOmebody by the hair. Then
such a shrek arose as aroused the en-
tire family from their slumbers.
Mamma sprang Out of bed, crying,
"What is the matter? What has
happened ?" While papa struck a
light, disclosing Johnny crouched in
terror by the door, and Billy dancing
up and down in the middle of the
room crying out between his sobs,
80, mamma, caught him caught
him ! O-h-oh-o-h ~
"Be quiet, Billy, and tell me all
about it," said his mother, taking the
frightened child on her lap and try
ing to soothe him. "What do you
mean by saying you caught him :
Caught whom ?"
go, mamma, it was Santa Claus
it surely was, and / caught him right
by the hair of the head"
His mother could not restrain q
smile as she pointed to a lovely wax
doll, with long curling hair, that was
almost pulled out of Nelly's stocking
"See, Billy, there is the little lady
you mistook for Santa Claus. It's 6
wonder you did not scalp her."
Poor Billy was sadly mortified
when he discovered the cause of his
fright, but Nelly was in high glet
and laughed with delight at thu
thought of her big new doll almos
soaring Billy to death.
When they had untitled their stock
ings, for it was really morning ant
not the "middle of the night" Billy
gave Johnny two "nigger toes" ant
one candy cigar if he wouldn't tel
Tommy about his scare. But during
the morning Johnny informed hin
that one of the niger toes was bad
and made him add two almonds anC
a candy mouse to the bride in orde
to insure his silence. After that nigh
Billy was strangely silent on the sub
ject Of Santa Claus, and, to his credi

The Advantage of Being Slow.
Industrial South.

Industrial South.
One of the advantages the South
possesses is that she has been late en-
tering the industrial field. She will
therefore not have to 60 through the
experimental and apprentice process
that has cost the North and foreign
countries such expenditure of time,
thought, labor and capital. She can
at once avail herself of all the inven-
tons and improved methods that
Others have worked out.
Even the practiced skill and ac-
cumulated capital of the North and
of England, seeing here a field for
more profitable employment than at
home, will naturally gravitate this
way. The South will thus escape the
long and wearisome period Of train
ing and probation through which
Others have had to pass. The indus
trial and commercial activity of the
North, too, has pretty well exhaust
ed there some material elements of
wealth, and has thereby enhanced
their value, of which enhanced value
the South will now get the benefit.
This is conspicuously the case with
lumber. The northern forests have
been ravaged until there is but little
valuable timber left. Prices have in
consequence gone up, and now the
South enters the field with her bound
less supply, for which she will realize
double or triple as much per quantity
as the North received. This is one H.
lustration; Others might be given.
The South has been ridiculed for be-
ing "slow." Sometimes there is wis
dom and profit in being slow. And
in this matter of manufacturing,
mining and mercantile development,
and physical exploitation generally,
there seems to have been a wisdom
directing events for the benefit of the
South greater than the wisdom Of
man.

back and bowels returned. He has
been free of opiates over "a hours,
his head is clearer, wounds seem to
be healing nicely, though slowly, and
he feels almost as cheerful as lark.
He cannot retain anything in his
stomach, however, and this continues
to be bad feature of his case.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon DR..
Brown informed TIMES reporter that
Colonel Russell had improved won
derfully the past two days, and If he
could only succeed in retaining some
thing in his stomach he would soon
regain strength. But he would not
be entirely out of danger until the
wound in his side was healed.

THE SOUTH BOISE.

A New District That Shows COnsidera.
BILE Rich Ore-A Mill Being Taken
There.
George A.Williams is in town from
a new district ON the South Boise,
about six miles south of Vienna,
where several new discov cries of gold
and silver bearing veins have recent.
ly been made. He himself owns
interests in the Plutarch, Jim Blaine,
Mount Ida, Volney, and Diamond
Prince. Mr.. Ewing, of the Cliff
House, owns with Mr.. Williams and
J. T. Cochran, his partner, in the lat.
ter. All of them show rich ore, the
vein-croppings showing from one foot
to eight in width. The ore is very
high grade, and carries from $40 to
$3.50 in gold, and from few ounces
up to $4,000 in silver. He brought
small lots with him for tests, and pro.
poses to return at once to extract ore
for shipment.
The district is an entirely new one,
all the locations but one having been
made since last August.
There are only few men working
there now, besides New York com.
pany organized by A. V. Tillman
which is composed of very substan
tial men. This company has mil
at Mountain Home, which they in
tend to get into the district in time
to start up this fall. They have laid
out town, and are already building
dwellings, etc.
AS it is so late in the year Mr.. VIII
liams does not expect much Of rusf
there this fall; but, next year, he ex
poets that hundreds will flock there
and that such pressure will b.
brought to bear upon the County
Commissioners that they will com
plete to Vienna the wagon-road nov
being made by his company from At
lanta, or continue the Smoky road W
the river.
Mr.. Williams will return to tn.
new district next week.

A WORTHY SCHOOL.
The Sacred Heart Academy, Of Ogden
Utah.

The advertisement of this we'll
known school will be found elsewhere
in the TINES. This institution has
been frequently visited by attaches of
the TINES and by relatives of Wood
River pupils who have been educated
there.
Parents and guardians throughout
this section may rest assured that i,
will be an exceedingly difficult thing
to find more thorough, liberal and
extensive course of instruction-prac.
teal and theoretical-than the teach.
ers at this school give. From the frs,
rudiments to the highest grade, in
every department of literature, science
ornament, music, home work, and
the principles of domestic economy
the teachers at the Sacred Hear,
Academy give lessons.
1t gives the TIMES pleasure tc
vouch for the excellence of this school
particularly in the thoroughness of the
lessons useful in practical life that are
taught there.
