1t appears that the State Press
Association has gone down. The
chief object of such an association
is not to meet once year and take
dead head excursion, hut to secure
and maintain better and more uni
form rates for advertising. The
system of classification according to
circulation with sliding scale of
rates for advertising, as adopted by
the old association, was good and
fair arrangement and would have
been of incalculable value to the
newspapers of the State if they had
taken their proper classification and
observed the rates in good faith.
But great many papers fixed them
selves two or three classes higher
than their circulation entitled them
and then totally ignored the scale of
rates and went ON advertising at
whatever they could get for it.
AZ press association would be of
inestimable benefit to the newspa-
pers of West Virginia, if they would
go into the organization in good
\ faith t. observe its rules, by

ALEX. linn is the mail carrier on
the route from Gladeville to New
burg, Preston county. On the Sth
Of December, while ascending a very
steep hill beyond Three Fork, rem
dered very slippery and dangerous
on account of ice, his horse fell,
throwing him to the ground. His
foot caught in the stirrup, so that
when his horse struggled to it's feet
his situation was precarious in the
highest degree. Miss Mary Brown,
who was on her way to Fellowsville
where she is teaching school, and
who was riding a short distance
ahead, seeing the danger, sprane
from her horse, caught the now thor.
oughly frightened animal by the
bride ard relieved Mr.: Zinn's foot
from the stirrup, thus preventing O
fearful accident, and perhaps saving
his life.
