When such grand opportunities await
you in West Virginia. Maryland and the
famous Shenandoah Valley, Virginia,
section possessing all the requisites for
health, comfort and prosperity:
No region in the United States is at
tracing greater attention than those
States. People from the North, West and
extreme South are looking that way with
the view of locating. Improved farm
lands are to be obtained at from So per
acre and upwards, unimproved timber
and grazing lands at from 81 to $500 per
acre.
Rich mineral lands are cheap, excel
lent water powers, manufacturing sites,
business locations, etc., are Numerous.
The schools and churches are excellent;
the people hospitable and extend a
warm welcome to new corners. The
climate is unequaled, no severe storms
or cyclones, no contagious diseases.

A queer story comes ror Et7n.
While Vim. Hall and Geo Wog5stles
were cutting wood on Greys Hiil, near
Elkton, Hall in locating his lot came
suddenly upon lot of black snakes.
His first impulse was to call for Wood
sides who was short distance away.
After calling for awhile and receiving
no answer he started on run to look for
his friend. After finding him they both
went back to where the snakes were first
seen, and upon nearing the place were
attacked by five large black snakes. The
men used clubs freely and did not let up
until all five of the snakes were dead.
Woodsides was at one time wrapped
around as with cord and severely bitten
on the hand. The smallest of the snakes
was four and half feet long and as
thick as a mans wrist. The Cecil Whig
predicts that parties Of ladies will not

The pious Moslem who went 10 the
tomb Of Mohammed as a pilgrim used 20
take a little less than three years 70 make
the trip, and often left his bleaching
bones on the sands OF the desert between
Mecca and Medina.
But the Western barbarian has come
TO the aid of the pious pilgrim and given
him steamboats, for a part Of the way at
excursion rates, and though it decreases
the fame of a pilgrim it booms business.
The New York SIN says that an enter
prising French company has for two
years past been melting the pilgrims to
return directly TO the Red Sea from Nice
CA, where steamers await to carry them
200 miles north, to JambO, from which
place they can make an easy and com
portable journey to Medina. Severn
thousands were carried 10y this cheaper
and more comfortable route last year.
The Meccans asserted that theinnOvatiOn
would ruin their business, and attempted
by force to compel one large party OF
pilgrims 10 take the old route. By the
energetic action Of the French consul at
Jeddch the Turkish authorities were
moved to interfere, and the Meccans were
compelled to let the pilgrims choose their
own route.
Opportunities for Western money
makers are evidently opening in the way
of speeding the devout pilgrim on his
travels 70 the Holy Land of Islam

The pTeponderance OF Southern repro
sentatives on the Committees Of the
House of Representatives puts an obliga'
ton on the Southern representatives that
they should be quick to appreciate.
The South is the strongest element of
the Democracy, but the representatives
from that section should never forget
that the great point is TO act in a
purely unsectional way, and show to the
country that the South advocates true
democratic principles from a national
standpoint.
The Republican scare-crOw made up Of
~Rebel' and Jeff. Davis is all nonsense
Of course; but the fact is that the South
orn States are either in the Union and on
a perfectly equal. footing with thc other
States. or else they are provinces.
We are entitled to legislate under the
Constitution Just as freely as any North
0tn state can, and it should always Be
insisted that we are exactly as the other
States are.
But upon political issues there is moth
ing 20 be gained by fighting a battle
with Southern men if We can win IT
more safely with Northern Democrats.
Personal politics will not benefit ihe
South w want hard practical sense,
and the first point that such sense die

sectional, that tend to give the Repub-
licsn party Just the very thing they want.
The wisdom of the situation is 10
