Digging a Grave Through Three
Feet of P1ra American Marble

Digging a Grave Through Three
Feet of Pure American Marble.
Colonel Henry W. Grady, the famous
editor and part owner of the Atlanta Con-
shtutioas, is the author of this mornings
tariff talk:
1.-The other day there was man buried
in Pickens County. He was dead and
they were putting him away. In digging
a grave for him they dug through three
feet of marble as pure as any Parian sculp-
tor ever nodded. and yet the marble slab
that went at the head of his grave was i'm
ported from Vermont. Although pine
forests were all around him the pine cof-
fin in which he lay was imported from
Philadelphia. Although iron was in the
hills within 100 feet of his grave the nails
in his coffin came from Pittsburg. AL.
though there was hard wood in the same
fosest the handles of the shoyels and picks
that dug his grave were imported from
Cincinnati. The truth is that his own
county, as rich or richer in natural re.
sources than any in the State, furnished
nothing for that funeral but the hole in
the ground and the corpse. He was
clothed with suit from Chicago, a shirt
from Cincinnati, a hat from Lynn and
shoes from Massachusetts, and his own
county furnished nothing but the marrow
in his bones and the blood in his veins.

"CASH Or CREDIT"

''In doing a credit business one-halfthe CAPT
tai is in accounts and makes no profit after it
goes on the books. a double profit must be
charged on the goods sold. A merchant with
cash can buy cheaper than one who depends on
collecting accounts to meet his bills.
In rating merchants worth cash or good
notes count hundred cents for dollar. Book
accounts count nothing and they oftimes make
him poorer. A farmer does not accept the
term ''chafge it" Tor his wheat or corn and 60
home without any money, but when he sells
ms STOCK or produce he wants the money at
once, When merchant sells for cash he adds
a profit for the of the money for the time it
is invested So 60 or 80 days. What he sells on
credit he adds a profit for the time the money
is used 80 or 80 days in goods and to u months
on the books-fully one year in all-l0 or u per
centum more than the cash dealer. The cost
of collecting the cost and time o. keeping the
books ana the lots of unpaid accounts for
those who do pay have to pay for what others
get and do not pay for.
All of this amounts to two three times the
profit the cash dealer charges, To accommo-
date those who want time and th e benefit of
cash prices, have adopted Taylor's Coupon
system. BY this system books are kept,
There are no disputes as there are no goods
chorged which the customer thinks he did not

are paid for by the coupons taken from book.

Poultry Pointers.

The first disideratum in Winter is
warmth.
A small hen will lay as large eggs as will
a heavy hen, and requires less loom.
Endeavor to keep hens instead of pullets,
as the eggs will then be more uniform.
The non.sitting breeds will lay as well in
Winter as the sitters if they are kept
warm and comfortable,
Never use stale eggs for nest eggs. Nest.
egg gourds are best. A single stale egg
may ruin your reputation.
Never ship an egg that is dirty or in any
manner soiled. The appearance is a prime
factor in the sale of any article.
A flock may be composed Of some Of the
best layers to be found, yet the average
number of eggs secured may be low
Do not construct poultry house for
your own convenience. The poultry house
should be built with view of promoting
the comfort of the fowls and keeping them
in proper condition for laying.
Birds always prefer the open air. They
do not,favor remaining indoors, no matter
how clean and bright the poultry-house
may be,
The non sitting breeds are Leghorns,
Hamburgs, Red Caps, Minoreas, Black
Spanish, Polish, Houdans, Crevec@urs and
La Fleches,
Economy is always commendable. Econ
omy in constructing a poultry- house means
that you should secure the greatest space
on the floor at the least cost.
When egg production alone is your OBJ
ject you need no males. The hens will
lay as we'll without them sometimes bet
ter. and the eggs will keep three times as
long.
If hen lays one egg a week she will
pay all expenses of keep. Every egg over
is profit. The greater the number of eggs
secured the lower the cost of each egg
proportionately.
| Always assert your eggs. Do not have
several colors and sizes together. Put the
dark eggs in one basket and the light
ones in another, and pick out the small
ores to be sold separately.

Sangersville Items.
Reported for the.vlRGINIAN.

Editor Vi7giniap:- protracted good
good effect upon the wheat crop. We
have no recollection of ever seeing such a
fine stand of wheat as-we see this fall, and
there is quite large acreage sown. Be-
sides that the fall pasture is better than
for years, stock is doing well to this time,
no roughness is required to feed them.
We will give you an item of Augusta
county history. sent US by the editor and
proprietor of the Frostburg Mining Jour
nal, Maryland, clipped from the Scranton,
Pa, "Colliery Engineer" for October,
1888. 1t would seem that the first cut
nails were made in Augusta county, Va,
as follows:
Ralph Clayton, in the Iron Trades Re
riesU, says: | have asked the question fifty
or hundred times who was the inventor
Of the cut nail, out none have had it an
swered. l will therefore answer it myself.
1t was Mr.. Michael CARRIER, an old Ger
man on Middle River in Augusta county,
Va, about the year 1905. At that time l
was apprenticed to the tanning business
and was the mill 10y; and in dry seasons
of the year went past his shop to the mill,
and stopped several times to see the inven-
ton or machine in operation. but never
saw them cut, but saw them headed. The
nail then was headed with the vice and
hammer, but now both are done at the
same time. There have been many i'm.
provements in manufacturing nails as well
as in other inventions. The last time
was at his shop he was fixing a machine to
cut flooring braGs. And when l went in
he was placing piece of timber against a
post. and when he had placed it there he
then said, if was left handed l could
drive that spike in. [ replied that was
left-handed. He then handed me the
hammer and said, thank you to do it.
did so. and with that machine he cut the
flooring brad. Thus old Augusta claims
the invention of the cut nail, and the
moving machine also, by Mr.. McCor-
Nick
At our election here On the 9th, there
never was more orderly election held;
and by invitation, we were present in the
room good portion of the day, and We
know whereof we speak. Every Demo
GRAFT that was registered at this precinct
voted that day, with one exception, and
he was absent in West Virginia, and all
cast their votes for the Democratic candi-
dates. We suppose the Republicans done
likewise for their candidates. Just here
we notice that at certain precincts in our
great county, there are charges of crooked
ness to some extent. We think that in
spirited contest. as we have just passed
through. Such charges should be accepted
with many grains of allowance.
Well, we will say to our esteemed Fort
Defiance friend rs. M. W. that when
our gallant Cleveland fell in the recent
clash of arms. we fell with him. but with
our face to the enemy, and of course am
prisoner of war, and we claim him hos
tage for our exchange in 1892, and don't
you forget it. N. L. B.

The Dispatch thinks now that the
northwestern Territories ought to be ad-
mitted as States by the present Congress.
and that it ought to pass the Blair Bill.
That is confession that is confession.
The House had both bills before it fer
months before the election. They had
passed the Senate, but were arrested in
the House for partizan purposes. Now
our contemporary would make virtue of
necessity. But the bills ought to pass on
their merits, and We hope will, although
it will reflect no credit upon the Demo.
cratic House to do so, under the circum-
stances.
