Drinking a Farm.

My homeless friend with the chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring
up the sugar in ten cent glass of
gin, let me give you fact to wash it
down with it, You say you have
longed for years for the free indie
pendent life of the farmer, but have
not been able to get enough money
together to buy farm. But this is
just where you are mistaken. For
several years you have been drink
ing good improved farm at the rate
of 100 square feet at a gulp. If you
doubt this statement figure it out
for yourself An acre of land con
tains 43, $50 square feet. Estimating,
for convenience, the land at $43.56
per acre, you will see that it brings
the land to just one mill per square
foot, one cent for ten square feet.
Now pour down the fiery dose and
imagine you are swallowing straw
berry patch. Call in five of your
friends and have them help you gulp
down 500 foot garden. Get on a
prolonged spree some day, and see
how long time it requires TO swal-
low pasture large enough to feed
COW. Put down that glass of gin !;
there's dirt in it-100 square feet of
good, rich dirt, worth $43.56 per
acre.-B0b Burdette.

CLEVELAND AND HARRISON.
Parallel Passages from the Messages
of Two Presidents.

The simple and plain duty which
we owe the people is to reduce taxa
ton to the necessary expenses of an
economical administration of the
government and to restore to the
business of the country the money
which we hold in the treasury
through the perversion OF govern
mental powers. These things can
and should be done with safety to all
our industries. President Ctece-
lands Message, 1857.
The collection of moneys not need.
ed for public uses imposes an unnec
essary burden upon our people, and
the presence of 50 large n surplus in
the public vaults is disturbing ele-
ment in the conduct of private bust
ness President Harrison's Mes
sage, 1889.
Under our present laws more than
four thousand articles are subject to
duty. Many of these do not in any
way compete with our own manufac.
turers. A considerable reduction
can be made in the aggregate by ad-
ding them TO the free list.-Presi
dent CleUeland's Message, 1881.
The free list can very safely be
extended by placing thereon articles
that do not offer injurious competi.
tion to such domestic products as
our home labor can supply.-Presi-
dent Harrison's MESSAGE, 1889.

American Highways.

The enormous increase in railroads
has resulted in proportionate neg
lect of ordinary roadways. The
average county road is far from be-
ing what it easily might be, and even
its present condition is not main
tanned in an economical manner
This is the natural result of rapid
transit between markets. But a
reaction already begins to show it.
self, as the population Of the rural
districts multiplies and the demand
for good highways increase in pro-
portion Col. Pope is laboring to
stimulate this improvement by lay
ing before the people the best ideas
upon road making and road-men
ding. His connection with the bicy-
Gle trade naturally interests him in
this subject and has led him to make
a thorough study oft. While wheel
men are anxious for the improvement
of the roads, it is subject of still
greater Importance to those who en-
ploy teams of any kind to transport
produce. Ninety nine per cent, of
every load by railroad, steamboat,
or express has been carried in a wag-
on or truck over highway. Thus
even steam transportation is meas
urably dependent for support on the
draught horse and his load "The
prosperity of any city," says Col.
Pope, depends largely upon the
surrounding country, and the better
the road facilities the faster the
country will grow in population. y
This makes the advantage of good
roads mutual to both city and coun-
try A road over which bicycle
can be ridden with case and safety
will save hundreds of dollars to far
mers and others driving heavy loads
The earliest communities to recog-
nize and act upon this truth will be
the first to benefit by it.
Throughout this State and the
whole country are farms, eight OIL
ten miles from the railroad; whose
value is minimum, yet which,
were the roads interseeting them OF
the first class, would at once raise
in value were they twice as far from
steam transportation. Good roads
are national benefit. All business
originates in natural product which
must find its way over a common
highway before it can reach a mar
ket and attain its full value. Smooth
hard roads, well drained, and easily
traversable through large part OF
the year furnish this outlet, and a
lone can furnish it. To neglect the
highways is worse than to neglect
fences and woodpiles and weeds.

A BIG LAND CASE.
Settled in the Federal Court at Charles.
ton-4SO, 900 acres Involved.

The case of Marie Hoyt, plaintiff,
VS.. w. B. Mcclure, commissioner of
school lands of Wyoming county,
and q. b. Buskirk, commissioner of
school lands Of Logan county, in
volving the title to what has been
known as the 100000 acre Robert
Morris tract of land lying in the
counties of Wyoming, Mcdowell and
Logan, instituted in the United
States Circuit Court for this State
last January and which has hereto
fore attracted much attention both
in and out of the State was decided
by Judge John j. jackson, at Char
lesion.
The history of the case is briefly
as follows: In 1885 Col. Jesse X.
Irwin, of New Orleans, but now of
Oceana, this State, purchased the
tract under proceedings in the Cir
cult Court of Wyoming county. In
1888 this land became very valuable
owing to recent improvements ia
that part of the State, and the
School Commissioners, denying the
ownership of Marie Hoyt in her title
under Irwin, made efforts to re sell
the property for the school fund.
Marie Hoyt paied for and obtained
from the Federal Court an injunction
restraining the Commissioners from
selling or offering for sale the land
specified. The case was argued by
Malcolm jackson and ex-Attorney
General c. C. Watt for the plaintiff,
and by Judge David f. johnson, of
Princeton, Col. z. L. Vinson, of
Huntington, and James II. Fergu-
son and Joseph E. Chiffon, of Char
lesion.
The court decided for the plain
tiff, awarded the order Of injunction
prayed for in her bill against both of
the school commissioners, holding
Twins purchase and title under the
Wyoming circuit proceedings to be
good and valid, as shown by the
proofs, and that the State could not
be allowed to proceed to recover
money second time from this land
for the same purpose; that it was
not the States policy, object or in
tention to do anything of the kind,
and that the conduct of w. b. Nc
Clure, one of the commissioners, and
l.. ID. Chambers, former commission
err, in seeking to subject these lands
second time to sale, was most rep
rehensible and that if out side par
ties wanted to litigate as to this til
tie they must come to the front and
make the fight in their own names,
not through the State of West Vir-
ginia.

The Ohio Amendment.

A petition for a writ of mandamus
has been filed in the Supreme Court
of Ohio, at Columbus, to compel
Governor Foraker to declare the con-
stitutional amendment for biennial
elections carried. The amendment
was submitted to popular vote at
the recent elections. 1t received
more ayes than noes, but the ques-
ton arose whether majority of the
votes cast on the head Of the ticket
was necessary for the adoption of the
amendment. The Governor refused
to issue proclamation declaring the
amendment adopted. hence the man.
damus proceedings. If it should be
declared adopted, Governor-elecl
Campbell will remain In Office thres
years instead Of two.

Experts of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station of New York have
recently prepared statistics showing
the relative condition of farmers in
this country compared with any
former period. Following is sum-
mary of the conclusions reached.
1. There has of late years been a
relative increase in the number of
farms and farmers 2. There has
been steady decrease in the average
size of farms in this country. 3,
There has been a steady decrease in
the relative amount of unimproved
lands in the farms. 4. There has
been a great increase in the purchas-
ing power of farm products. s.
There has been great increase in
the producing power Of manual la.
Dor through the introduction of farm
implements and machinery. g
There has been an enormous increase
in the aggregate value of farms
buildings, stock and implements Of
husbandry. 7. The Indebtedness Of
farmers is apparently not increasing
and has probably diminished very
appreciably the past few years. s
There has been a wonderful advance
in the intelligence of the farming
population, an increase in the de
mands of rural life and the means
found for the qualification Of such
dema nds and desires as this changed
condition in the average farmer
life has imposed and awakened.

News Paper Law.

Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to continue their
subscription.
If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their paper from the office to
which it is directed, they are respon-
sible until they have paid for the
same in full and ordered it discon-
tinued.
Ifsubscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and
the papers are sent to the former di.
rection, they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that re
fusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for is prima facie evidence
or intentional fraud, and the sub
scriber throws himself liable tc
prosecution.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice to publish
ers at the end of their time, il they
do not wish to continue taking it
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it, and the subscriber will b.
responsible unless an express notice
with payment for all arrearages, il
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are sucl
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest any one for fraud who takes ;
paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under this law the man who al
lows bis subscription to run along
for some time unpaid and he orders
it discontinued, or tells the post
master to mark it refused" and
have a postal card sent, notifying
the publisher, lays himself liable tt
arrest and fine, the same as for theft

OWN YOUR HONE.
One Of the First Things to Be Thought
OF by Young Couple.

1t is all very we'll to rent for a few
months if the house is pleasant and
cozy, but perhaps the house is for
sale, and some one buys it, and you
are obliged to move The next
house you secure is not as pleasant,
possibly the location is not good, or
you may be troubled with sewer gas.
BY the time You have moved half q
dozen times you are heartily sick Of
it, and wish you had home, and
not mere staying place. But it is
cheaper to rent, you say. There are
no taxes to pay. | don't believe It
is cheaper in the long run to rent,
and if did think so, should advo-
cate buying or building home, no
matter how simple it might be, in
preference to everlasting renting.
Take into consideration the cost
of moving each time, the making
over of old carpets to fit new rooms,
the wear and tear of furniture, ard
the general expense that moving
necessitates, and am sure you will
not say it is cheaper to rent. Even
though it is cheaper from money
point of view, it is not cheaper in
strength, for it is not you my mas
culine friends, who have the hardest
part of it, but your patient, self
sacrificing wives, mothers and sisters
who are obliged to work early and
late, before and after the moving.
If you haven't the money with which
to purchase home, have one built
on the installmcnt plan. This will
enable you to pay SO much n month
until your home is paid for. Thous-
ands of homes have been secured
for the working people, and those
unable to pay cash for a home, by
this method.
1t is said "that three moves are as
bad as a fire." as far as destroying
things are concerned. People who
have homes of their own are moro
economical as usual thing, and nre
always planning and devising ways
for identifying them. Again let me
urge it upon every one to have a
home Of their own, even though it
has but two rooms in it.-Nationdt
