IS The citizens of Mason and Put
nam counties are getting anxious
for a railroad from Point Pleasant
up the Kanawha to the Chesapeake
and Ohio, There are good reasons
why this road should be built. The
Chesapeake and Ohio has. been
wanting route more direct to the
northwest than it now possess. 1t
can be had by building line from
Scary to the Mouth of the Great
Kanawha,, where it can connect
with the kanawhas and Ohio and
the Ohio River Railroads, using the
Iatter's bridge
There are 10000 acres of land on
the Big Coal River, and its tributa-
ries offered for sale at SO per acre.
There is big talk OF building a rail
road along the South side of the
Great skanawha, passing through
Point Pleasant and connecting with
the iron region of the South. 1t
would develop the most wealthy
portion OF the State. and be pay
ing investment to railroad men.

Miss Julia Hale, which occurred at

Tuesday night, February Nth, 1888.
Deceased was born April 3d. 1873.
She had been sick for some time,

that the Death Angel was lowering
so near. She was bright. intelli-
gent young lady; member of the
church, and had host of friends.
Her loss will be deeply mourned.-
She was buried in the new cemete-
ry Thursday afternoon. We, in
common with the community, ten
der our sincerest sympathy to the
mourning family.

As soon as the ground will work
fairly we'll in the spring, break it
deep aRd work it thoroughly. If
the garden be thrown up in ridges
the previous fall, it can be worked
much earlier. Many gardeners
practice this method, especially
for their early vegetables. Mark
the ground off in rows with a
shovel pillow or hoe; run them such
distance apart as the nature Of the
vegetables to be planted require,
then fll in of the compost as much
as is required, rake over it little
of the soil, then plant. Always
drop in few more seed than is
desired to let grow, for in early
vegetables, especially, one wants
no delay. 1t is The practice with
many gardeners 10 sprinkle ashes
over the rows, and some saturate
the soil with a solution Of copeIas
as a precaution against insects.
The working and preparation OF
the ground is much the same for
other and later products as that
of the earlier. Thorough break.
ing and pulyerizing of the soil, a
plentiful supply Of we'll composted
manure, and careiul after-cultiva-
ton is requisite, and with these,
and the exercise of reason and
common sense, few that try it will
fail to reap profit. At any rate.
the average gardeners path is ai
fowery as the paths ofthose ofany
other oceupation.--Atlanta, Ga.

JUST As WE THOUGHT.



lBrookhaven Leader.l
In order that there may be nc
misundornanding abroad as to who
composed the meeting last Friday
night which adopted the resolu.
tiOns sulOgizing the Governor, Col
Deason and the city administra.
tion, we will here give a plain, un.
vanished statement Of the facts.
The meeting was composed OF about
rs persons, more than half Of whom
we're colored Republicans, and the
rest white men, consisting Of Re.
Publicans, ex-saloon keepers and a
few Democrats and representative
citizens and taxpayers who attend
ed either out Of curiosity TO see
what would be done, or because
they we're personal friends or rel
atives Of members Of the present
city government. The meeting
was worked up by Capt. HOskins
and Judge Cassidy, and they were
the spOkesmen Of the occasion.
One of these is an ex-Penitentiary
Lessee, who together with his
partner Hamilton, is a defaulter to
the State for $4,000 in blood
money, besides $4,000 more the
State was "improved" out of, and
who has never professed to be any
thing but Republican. The other
is a man who figured conspicuous
ly as a renegade Republican in
Ames' day, and while in the Leg
islature voted for the negro Bruce
in preference to Lamar, for United
States Senator, and who since,
while claiming TO be a Democrat,
and having been honored by places
in that party's councils, has never
lost his hold on the old Republi-
can contingent, and more than
once has led them into Democratic
meetings to override the will Of
men who have always been true to
Democracy and carry his points.
The resolutions were cut and
dried for the occasion. They were
voted for with a whoop by the
negroes and the members of the
whisky ring present, and were not
intended to be in accord or SYM
pathy with the objects Of the citi-
zens' meeting called to inaugurate
municipal reform. The negro mob
that did most of the voting would
have adopted resolutions to have
President Cleveland bebeaded in
"a hours or for anything else that
Cassidy and Hoskins said, so
blindly did they follow their
masters.
On the whole, the affair was one
Of the most discreditable public
meetings that ever took place in
BroOkhaven, and filed with dis
gust many good citizens who were
otherwise friendly to the present
city administration.
The Chickasaw messenger., 1888-03-08

Twenty-one years ago the Grange
was started, and it has grown.
spread and prospered because it is
right, founded on Justice and truth.
because many farmers for years
had felt the need Of il, realized
their isolated position and help
lessness against other organized
classes and callings; who, through
organization, were advancing their
own interests and leaving the far
mer in the background. So the
farmer needs the Grange, because
of the help its union of strength
will give him, even as all others
have been helped in the same way
through united effort. 1t applies as
much 10 the farmer as to all other
classes in these days. "United we
stand, divided VIC fall"
The Chickasaw messenger., 1888-03-08

The National Grange once more declares
fits true position regarding railroads, the
position It has always held, but which has
in the past been 80 greatly misunderstood
and misrepresented:
''This body again afirms that Il has no
desire to antagonize in any way the rail-
road interests Of the county. II only seeks
justice, which is the right Of every citizen.
Neither has the Grange any controversy
with legitimate corporations Of any kind 50
long a. they justly carry out the purposes
for which they we're created. II is only
when they exceed the bounds Of law and
justice that the Grange asserts Its rights
and power to compel obedience to the same.
The Chickasaw messenger., 1888-03-08

History teaches, and experience
has repeatedly demonstrated, that
the class best organized makes the
greatest Advancement and becomes
the victor in the contest. Shall the
American farmer remain morgan
lied and become conquered by all
others? Why are they not organ
lied among themselves for mutual
advantage? There is power in or
ganization, and inasmuch as other
classes are thoroughly organized
to advance their own interests by
cooperating together, is il not the
height of folly for farmers to sup
pose for a moment that they can
sustain themselves single-hauded
in an unorganized condition? They
are simply at the mercy Of organ
ized power, and must yield obedi-
ence to the dictations aud demands
Of those who are organized, and
pay the exaoted tribute, just OF un-
just, as it may be, without the re-
course -Ex.
The Chickasaw messenger., 1888-03-08

"Owing to certain causes the
Grange lost ground in the country
few years ago; but they are now
happily awakening to new life.
The Order is growing. There Is a
wide field of great usefulness for
the Oranges, and they are well
worthy the support OF all intelli-
gent farmers, no matter whether
they are with or without families.
And we say to the young men,
DO not let the graybeards monop-
olize these meetings; the farms
and the houses which you will in
herit will be worth more to you,
and you will be better men for
your attendance and active par
ticipation in the general and social
work of'the Grange New York
