He said: at was caused by the

would have to send off for feed to
feed them. Thus sending off large
quantity of money for the cattle and
feed and not getting as much for the
cattle when fed out is the cause"

A CHANGE OF NAME.-It has been
suggested by the West yirginian
that the name of the station at the
mouth of White Day be changed
from Opekiska to Whiting, in honor
of Maj. Whiting, the gentlemanly
and efficient engineer who has had
charge of the road from it's COM
mencement. We are in favor Of the
motion as far as we are concerned,
but what do the Opekiskans say?
We do not have the right to change
the name of their village without
their permission. The old name
White Days not bad, neither is
Opekiska particularly Objectionable
when ones tongue learns the trick
of pronouncing it, but if the inhabi-
tants are willing we have no objee-
tions to the conductor calling out
"Whitingr' instead of "Hopehekiss-
edherw
Here is what the West Virginian
SAYS: We understand that the sta
ton at the mouth of White Day
creek, on the f., NJ. d p. Railroad,
has been given the name of Opekis-
ka, which is said to have been the
Indian name signifying White Day.
We do not know whence the informa-
ton was derived as to the origin of the
name, but with due Difference to the
wishes of those who selected it we
suggest a change to something more
euphonious--a shorter name and one
that can be more readily pronounced
and remembered by the general pub
lie. The good people of the com
munity interested will doubtless APP
prove the choice, and we therefore
invite them to unite with us in the
suggestion that the name of the
White Day station be changed to
Whiting, in honor of the efficient,
courteous and gentlemanly engineer
who has had the road in charge from
the commencement of operations two
years ago. Maj. Whiting has won
many friends "all along the line"
who will be glad to see him thus
honored, and as he is justly entitled
to the distinction proposed we trust
there will be no opposition to the
substitution of his name for the jaw
breaking Opekiska at White Day
station. 4 Newport has been re-chris-
tened Catawba, and that change af-
fords us precedent for the applica-
ton in the White Day case. Cen
tlemen, are you ready for the ques
ton? All who are in favor of the
motion will please signify it by hold
ing up your right hands.

Uniontown and the mule had kicked
one Of its shoes off and had to be
shod. Mr. Meeks took him around
to blacksmith, and the show began.
The mule was the principal actor,
but the brawny smith supported"
him very we'll When the last nail
had been driven and the sport was
at an end, Mr.. Meeks said: "Now.
what's the bill?" 1.-TWO dollars"
said the smith, 81 wouldn't shoe him

the figures a little high and offered
the mule as part pay, but the smith
insisted on his two dollars, and got
them.
