4 Call for a Convention Of Far


Nunr attention is called TO the fact that
in these days Of Trusts, Combinations

and sale oil their productions. The lLetl
DDS practiced in the past, in performing
this important service, have well-nigh
stripped them oi livii g profits, while
others have received the reward of their
lahors.
Extravagant ireights, carriage, COM
missions ard other contingent expenses
have nearly ruined our business.
When the millions of young peach
trees recently planted, contiguous to The
waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its
tn hutaries, come into bearing, the quits
and confusion will be complete.

adoption OF. some system Is iucalculable,

to witness this wonderful exhibition.
The press speaks in the highest praise of
the performance.
Au exchange says: Prof. BristoIs COM
mand over his "scholaIs' WAS simply
wonderful. Without looking at the horses
at ali he would give an order, naming the
horse to do if. and the order would i'm
mediately be carried out. The first part
comprised regular school.
"Denver," the IN nle, made lots of fun,
acting as ''monitor," helping the Pro
fessor off with his overcoat, taking d hat
bringing a table and removing his over
shoes, fetched chair, aud Denver
brushed the Professor coat. The horse
Matte brought paper and envelopes from
closed desk, ard then performed such
mathematical problems as adding 10 and
z, substractiug 9 !ron 81, indicating now
many 3's in So etc. Mattie's method OF
answering the questions pIopounded was
to paw as many times with tine left fore
foot as the number required Tor the cor
rect answer. The Professor showed the
horse his watch and asked the time and
forty six minutes past s o'clock was the
reply in "horse talk" The same horse
also at command brought from desk
red, white and blue cloths, on being told
what color to fetch, and Lolita brought
a silver and a paper dollar from closed
money drawer. A number OF other
equally surprl ing and novel t!liags were
performed. The second part included
swinging, lettering, AL imitation OF a
rocking horse by Hornet" beautiful
bald-face briudle. and the same horse
skipped a rope. The third part COM
prised military drill, which far ex
ceeded any thing of the kind ordinarily
seen in circuses, the marching, wheel
ing, ETC., being almost perfect and very
interesting.

Mechanics Valley Items.

MECHANICS VALLEY, March 20, 1888.
Though the Valley is seemingly well rep
resented in the columns of THE WING of
late, we would modestly offer a few lines
extending the right hand of fellowship TO
our brothers or sisters as the case may be,
Scribe and Gyp, and as they both seem to
WELD the pen of ready writers, we hope
they will still continue to show up the
Talley in all its glittering splendor.
We had hoped until recently that Dan,
our miller, would stay another year at the
Valley, but the stern decree of fate has
wilted our fond anticipations, and Dan will
depart for the rocky rapids of Gilpin's Falls,
followed by the well wishes of his many
friends in and around the Valley.
Our old friend and playmate, Ike Lort,
upon his return from his matrimonial tour
on last Monday night week was met by
about three score and ten of his friends old
and youug to tender him the usual country
serenade. Captain John Bruce led the
calithumpians in an orderly and decorus
manner, to whom Isaac handed sum in
good currency of the realm, when they re-
treated in good order much pleased with
the evening visit.
Sagwa, "Well what about it?" Why its
exhilirating, animating and rejuvinating
properties have been duly heralded to the
Valley a foaming Lrothy steed halted a,
a stable door the other day. ,Jehu jumped
out and proceeded to care for the horse
leaving his patient in the wagon to take
care of himself which he did, and now
declares "Sagwa" sovereign remedy for
all the ills flesh is heir to.
Mr.. John Price has been disabled for some
time with gathering on his hand. He can
men can do with two.
Some changes will be made in the way of
moving on or about the 25th. Our mer-
chant, Mr. t. NJ. Tyson, is about adding a
large and attractive stock to his already
full line of goods. Whatever may be said
of the Valley in times past concerning dit
ferences and chickering's, at the present
writing the sweet angel of peace and har-
mony has folded her glossy pinions and sits
smiling upon the topmost peak of the
Valley flag staff. As items are rather
scarce we will lay aside our pen and light
our-pipe.
P. Stalk about storms and billiards
last week, rain and snow and wind storm
of Sunday night gets away with anything
in the shape of billiards. that ever occurred
in this latitude at this season of the year
since Adam was boy.

The Peoples Column.
A Soldiers Plea for his Rights.

MARCH, %, 1888.
Mr.. Editor: As our President says the
treasury is overho wing with money and he
is devising all plans to cut down our duties
and get rid of the surplus, propose to him
something which | don't think he or any
other reasonable man could refuse. When
we enlisted in the army we were promised
100 acres of land. Now how are we to OBJ
tain this? Wemust go to some mountainous
country of the eastern states or to the far
west, and those that served three years have
got to stay on it two years to obtain a title
Now all the advantage we have is 8 years
less to stay than any other citizen after
serving three years in the army. Many of
us married and our friends settled around
us, and some are too poor to get to govern
ment lands. Thousands of them have gone
TO their long homes. Now what l think is
right is for Congress to pass a law for SOL
diers that served two years and over to
receive S125 per acre or the price of govern
ment lands, They are giving away millions
of acres every year to railroad companies
and other corporations. Now why not give
a soldier what rightfully belongs to him.
We would like the opinion of other soldiers
upon this subject.
