The Better Part of ValOr.

"There, l think that will fix
him" said the editor of a Dakota
paper to the foreman. "Here is
what l say: The miserable, cow
ardly, sneaking whelp who makes
a slckening and disgusting effort
to edit the daub known to the half
dozen or so who are aware it is
published here as the Corktown
!Morgue, printed another batch of
base and silly lies about us last
week. We take this occasion to
give the above mentioned howling
idiot notice that we shall shoot
HIM on sight. We have stood all
OF 1t We propose to. We shall 90
armed, and the Junk k-headed, over
grown calf had better keep out Of
our !, sight if he values his 1nisera-
Ole, worthless life.'"

hooking out the window, "better
eo' g., ou' your gun, he's coming
why, good morning, Major,
come IN" said the blood thirsty
journalist, laying down the manu-
script IL was reading over one
|ot my editorials in which l call
upon Congress to quit tariff tink-
.erlng and get down to the crying
needs of the country. It's dis

There are cattle III Wilkes so
scrubby that horns don't grow on
their heads, and the poor things
are so weak that they can't switeh
their tails, and there are hogs
there whose ears and tails have
been cut in order to reduce tie
surface Of the hog and yet their
snouts would enter a craw-fs h
hole III blne mud without enlarg-
ing the dimension of the hole.
Their backs would mcke good saw
knives, and their sides excellent

in their tails for they are tailless.

Not Such a Crank after All.


Marshallville Times.
Twenty years ago nearly every
body in Macon and Houston coun-
ties regarded Mr.. S. HI. Rnmph
as a'crank upon the fruit ques-
tion. They argued that there was
no demand for fruits grown
in the South; that the Yankee
had already monopoly upon
that. business. Also that but
few varieties could be grown here;
that the growing Of apples and
raspberries especially, was an ex-
ploded idea, and that nobody but
q Northern man could successful
ly conduct a nursery. These and
thousand other objections were
urged by every one, and it was
with great difficulty that Mr..
Rumph, then quite a young man
and with limited means, could
get a piece of land upon. which
to lay the foundation for. I'M
mense business, and out Of which
he is today making a fortune.
Nothing daunted, however, he es-
tablished his fruit farm and nur-
sery known to-day in every State
and market in the United States.
He get the first red rasp-berries
every season into Jacksonville,
Savannah, New York and Boston,
and he realizes fully 80 cents per
quart for the yield from FIVE
acre patch. He has propagated
a variety Of peach believed to be
the finest in America, which
he christened the "EIberta," in
honor of her who, in his young
manhood, plighted her love and
fate with his, and reioices with
him in prosperity and sympa-
thizes in adversely, as only de-
voted and loving wife can do.
He has large number, of the Ell
bertas, and last season the crop
paid him an average of IL cents per
peach in New York and Boston.
He ships car loads of peaches
Of other varieties every season
that pay satisfactory prices, and
he yearly increases his acreage,
which already numbers several
hundred Armies are grown
to perfection, and every week ii
the year 'e fills orders for this
delightful fruit, sweetened by
Georgia suns and on Georgia
lands. But it is said I've have
never been through this interest
ing farm and nursery) that his
nursery is the biggest thing in the
South, notice of which must be
reserved until we can take stroll
through it, when we shall take
pleasure in telling our Ireaders
of its magnitude and manage
ment as best we can. Suffice it
to say, at present, last week we
sold $1,000 trees to be shipped
to different States the coming
fall. His home is ons Of the
loveliest in the country, surround
ed by fruits and flowers Of every
variety and SPECIES, and is visi-
ted annually by hundreds Of trav-
elers and excurslonists who pass
this way and can stop off for a pc
riOd.

Servants of the Stomach.

The new Governor General of
Canada brought with him thirty
nine servants. That seems good
many. But every stomach has
more servants than that. Lungs,
liver, heart, arteries, veins, esoph..
arus, kidneys and all the rest Of
the party must be kept in prime
order if first-class service Is ex-
nected. Browns Iron Bitters Is
the great regulator for all these.
Il o9iets them when in rebellion,
and keeps them to their work

JAMES RIVER VALLEY FAIR.-The Jane.
River Valley fair, at Scottsville, closed las
Friday. About 5000 attended Thursday
when Gov. Lee, Gen. Terry and sixty Con
federate veterans, Col. James and Capt
Haxall, arrived flom Richmond. At the
reunion of the Confederate veterans about
1000 old soldiers were present and 800 il
line. Gov. Lees address was very feeling
and was we'll received. Gen. Thomas L.
Rosser also spoke.
The barbecue for the veterans was q
grand success. The exhibit of horses, cat
tie, sheep and swine was very fair, as was
that of agricultural implements. The la
dies department won much praise. The
display of vegetables was better than made
at the State fair of late wears,

that the Governor will commute his punish

The Anderson Fair.

The Third Annual Exposition of the
Greenbrier Valley Industrial Association,
which closed at Anderson on Friday, LIST in
slant. was the largest, most successful, in
teresting, and we'll attended exposition yet
held; and while most creditable to the en-
terprise and ability of its managers, gives
promise of increasing popularity and USE
fitness.
During the four days of the exposition
there was total attendance of seven or
eight thousand persons, and the gate re-
ceipts alone amounted to not less than three
thousand dollars. The receipts from other
sources will swell the result largely, and the
total proceeds will cover all expenses and
leave handsome balance to make further
Improvements, and encourage the managers
to greater efforts in the future. There were
1918 entries of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry, vegetables; farm, garden, and dairy
products; ladies' work, mechanics work,
agricultural implements; besides a large
number in twenty special departments, such
as musical instruments, the fine arts, &C.,
&c. The finest horses and cattle were ex-
hibited by citizens of Greenbrier, and this
county took the lead in most of the depart
ments. 1t would exceed our limits to no.
tice in detail all the entries of merit inter
esting 70 our nelghbors, but we give list
in another place of awards for Ronceverte.
Besides the exhibits the chief attractions
were the horse races each day, balloon as
tensions on Tuesday and Thursday, an ell
oquent address on Wednesday from Hon.
Henry S. Walker, music from the Lewis
burg band, and grand parade of premium
animals at the close on Friday. Prominent
candidates for office, including the rivals
for Congress-, mingled in the throng and
pressed their claims. Refreshment stands,
photograph tents, and side shows divided
attention with the main exhibition, and the
fair proved as enjoyable as the races and
musters of old times.
The managers deserve the success they
have met, and have good grounds to hope
for greater results in the future. The ex-
hibiton brings to public notice the indus
trial resources of this region, and will at
tract capital to develop valuable industries
ana make the Greenbrier Valley wealthy
and prosperous. Visitors from Virginia
declared that tie exhibits were superior to
any they had seen elsewhere.-RonceUertt

NATURAL GAS IN WEST VIRGINIA.-A
heavy flow of natural gas was struck in the
E. M. Hukill & Co. well, on the Gallahue
farm, last Friday, at a depth of about two
thousand feet. The well is located about
six miles west of Fairmont, on the line Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in Marion
county, West Virginia. The flow of gas
is believed to be quite as strong as in any
well yet drilled, except perhaps in the Muir
raysville region near Pittsburg.
