He Used up the Time.

Deacon Bonney of Log City was
very pious man, but a good deal of
apolitician. He was also a very
practical man. He never liked to
have any time wasted in the prayer
meeting.
One night, in the prayer meeting,
when the experiences had all been
'old, and the exhortations tagged,
and the prayers grew feeble, brother
bonney arose and solemnly re-
marked:
My brethren, as the regular
exercises tonight seem 10 halt a
hItle, / viii improve the time by
making few observations on the

Since the reduction of our weekly
subscription price, our mail clerk
has set two pencils on fire in his
vain endeavor to enter the names as
rapidly as they were handed in. The
farmers all say they can pay one
dollar and not feel it. Besides they
like paper that is willing to volun
tarily make it's price correspond with
the price of wheat. In fact, they
like the JOURNAL, and say they
will make it flourish like a "Green

About noon yesterday o. p.
Beardsley and Tom Perryman met
at Eola. There would be nothing
peculiar in this, were it not that
their meeting proved TO be a very
unfriendly affair. Words passed
between them, and then blows
began to fall. a Dutchman inter
fered on behalf of Beardsley, and he
was at once used up by some Of
Perryman's friends. The fight was
at last stopped by disinterested
parties, but not until after Beardsley
had suffered "a fracture of three ribs.

nation learned from Mr.. e. F, Turner,
the gentleman who is preparing the new
city directory of Staunton, that the clti-
zens CT our city have already subscribed
largely to the work, and our merchants
have taken great pride in procuring well
displayed advertisement. Mr.. Turner has
also arranged to send his force OF can
vassers out through the farming section
Of the county and is meeting with large
sales of his valuable work. There are
some of our merchants who have not been

THE MARKET


The local market is fairly active especially
as to wheat, in which there has been a slight
advance. Flour is not so active but fair de-
mand at quotations. There is nothing in the
situation in Europe to justify any confident
expectation Ola change in present rulings. 1t
is predicted that Russia will make forward
movement with her army in May. Mysterious
movements oftrOops and in great numbers are
going on, and all the powers are watching
them jealously. But these uncertain condi
tons do not affect the markets yet. What the
near future may develop cannot be foretold

were adopted:
WHEREAS, In times past the laboring men
have been used as tool by few political
sharpers to further their own personal and in
diviGual interests and gain tor themselves the
enjoyment of political and social equality and
positions of honor and trust by imidation
and the threat of being discharged by their
employers the workingmen have been led to
tiers and put men in power who have never q
thought for them, but legislate in favor of COR
porationS and capltalistic schemes to the detri.
ment of the workingmen whose votes elected
them, and believing as we do that education
and organization are both necessary to the cor
rectlon of these wrongs, and that among the
first duties to be taught is that, as this is truly
a government for the people and by the people,
every man who has a right to vote is part of
the government and has an important duty to
perform and woe to the man or set of men who

cough mixture, and during the night tgot
up to take spoonful Of it to relieve him
of ali irritating spell of coughing, but in
stead Of the cough mixture he got hold of
bottle of laudanum, and took a spoonful
of that. The result was fatal. Mr.. Moi
felt had been large cattle dealer in this
portion of Virginia for a number OF years.
Several years ago he removed to Kentucky,
where bis only daughter resides, and
thence to Kansas. where his only son was
engaged in handling stock. He settled at

business he was conducting ct the time of
his death. He had many friends in this
