JONES SPRING.

The farmers in this vicinity, with but
few exceptions, are done planting corn.
c. w. Stuckey is still pleughing and
planting. c. w. thinks the present
administration has, to some extent, eff
fected his progress. This may, or may
not be true. G. w. is very industrious
and energetic farmer, and in former
years was one of the first to finish plant
ing corn. The wheat in this valley never
showed more fattering prospect, and
the farmers are hopeful of reaping a fine
harvest.
The citizens of Back Creek, according
to previous arrangements, met at Jones
Springs May 25th, 1889, and elected Mi
chael Stuckey chairman and G.. H. Horn
er secretary. The object of this meeting
was to appoint a committee before the
Court at the June term, and solicit their
cooperation with the citizens of Back
Creek in the construction of bridge
over Back Creek at the Parks Gap Road
After discussing the matter pro and con,
the following committee was appointed /:
Jacob Stuckey, Geo. Snyder, James B.
Shipper, j. G. Kitchen, j. D. Stuckey,
James w. Wood and D. N KEGS.
This committee was instructed to re-
port to the Court as near possible the cost
of erecting said Bridge. The citizens of
this valley are law abiding, and are en-
titled at least to some of the funds in the
way of public improvement, and it is to
be hoped that the Court will concur with
the wishes of the people of this valley.

Points About Advertising.

Newspaper men in soliciting
advertising are often met with the
statement, :. do not need to adver-
tise Just now; am unable to I'LL my
orders; when business begins to
slacken up, l shall, perhaps, avail
myself of your columns. /" 1t is the
old story of the leaKy roof, which did
not need repairing when the weather
was tair, and could not be repaired
" lille it rained. The wisest business
men and the most successful ones are
those who keep their names proml-
nently before the public when trade
is good as we'll when it is poor. The
time to boom town is when every
BODY is interested in it. When the
interest fails, one might as well Try
to sweep back the advancing waves
of the ocean, as to withstand the
stampede of confidence. When trade
is driving is the time to make ones
business so we'll known that when
the dull season comes there Will Stiil
be customers to keep the advertiser
busy. Men will deal with those
whom they know, or of whom they
have heard so much that they feel
acquainted. A constant and continual
advertisement in a reputable journal,
which is constantly seen, is like the
dripping water which is wearing
away the flinty rock. slowly it may
be, but surely. Circulars are thrown
in the waste basket. Catalogues may
find Judgment on a shelf, but the
frequent arrival of reputable journal
is a constant and sure reminder
which sooner or later must bear
fruit. 1t is the non-advertiser who
complains of hard times. When
everybody is rushed, it is no trick to
secure custom; it is when his neigh
borS are idle that the man who has
wisely kept his name and goods
before the public finds himself so
we'll known that he gets his full
share of what patronage is to be had.
The time to make hay is while the
sun shines. Repair the roof while the
weather is favorable, and there will
be no leak when the storms come

The country is aroused over the
assassination OF DR.. Cronin in Chica-
go; and as public sentiment demand
ed the death penalty for the loss of
life by the Anarchist uprising, how
much more deserving of death the
cold blooded Oath-bound assassins
of DR.. Cronin. The funeral of DR..
Cronin was attended by ten thous.
and people in the Chicago Cathedral,
and high tribute was paid to his
life and labors. The enemies OF
Home Rule IN England want nothing
better than murder and dissension
among the leaders of the Irish move
ment in America whence comes Ire
lands greatest support. Worse than
murder is the suspicion that the
hard-earned dollars of many a poor
friend in Erin's troubles have gone
for evil purposes and not for the re.
lief of Irish suffering. Many of these
great Irish agitators are eminent
prelates and distinguished citizens.
Until the mystery is cleared away
and the murderers hang, cloud as
dark as the gloom of death will hang
over many bright name. Silent con.
demnation will not cover the crime.
Most of the Irish leaders and jour
nails have less to say over the assas.
sination than if poor tenant in Ire
land had been turned out by an Eng
lish landlord. The murder of DR..
Cronin reads more like the work of
French or Italian revolntiOnists in
the palmiest days of court intrigue,
than an actual occurrence in free
America and in a cause in which
statesmen and church dignitaries are
interested. The assassins did their
work in true Jacobin style,-not only
taking life but trying to drag the
pail of death over character and rep.
utation. They were assassins bred
to stab. rs4 .-.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at E. c. Will

The details of the lynchin

The details of the lynchiDg of a
colorcd man in Port Huron, Mich,
are almost too horrible for belief.
The mob shot, stabbed, kicked,
struck, threw, dragged, jumped on,
and then hung his lifeless and
mangled body to a bridge. Indian
warfare was decent towards such
brutality. Cannibalism is respecta.
BILE towards a mob's hunger for a
colored mans blood, flesh and bones.
His name was Albert Martin: he
had committed an assault on a
woman, and was in Jail waiting trial.
TheIaw would have hung him for the
crime and justice would have been
satisfied. and the country spared an
lnhuman butchery of one hundred
against one.

TURN DOWN THAT LEAF.

The appointment of Beverly Tuck.
or by the President us special envoy
to Hayti, has been with drawn for
the present, and We hope for aye.
1t raised storia as soon as announc
ed and justly so. Mr.. fuckers
record on the Canadian border dur
ing the war, and his indictment with
the aec0mplices in the Lincoln, assas-
sination, should have deferred the
President from hazarding the
thought of such an appointment.
Those who arc foremost in advising
such selections are the leaders of an
element as hostile to the Republi-
cans as the worst enemies of the
party's cause in the days in which
they figured SO conspicuously in their
country's history. These very lead
ers bring up such relics of the past
with special delight as an aggrava-
ton to the Republicans. The course
is inspired more by defunct social re-
lations than for political credit, as
the masses of the Democratic party
are opposed to rewarding political
dead beats. There are plenty of
better men in the Democratic par
ty from whom to make Republican
acknowledgements of modern
construction who stand shoulder to
shoulder with their Republican
brethren in every good work; and
whose records are alike honorable
and commendable because they live
together as they fought together for
the cause their hearts and hands
espoused as the right. They were no
border plotters or political assassins,
but true soldiers if they wore the
blue.-true men if they wore the
gray.
The President should know that
West Virginia is the last place in
which to give his friends pain and
his enemies comfort.
The Republican leaders and Re-
publican voters are making fight
in this State against an element that
fights like Stonewall jackson, and
dies like Jefferson Davis. The Re.
publicans have the good viii of the
more liberal element of the Demo-
aratic party of West Virginia, and
if the President wishes to honor any
Democrats with appointments dur
ing his administration he will do a
more deserving act by chOsing men
on their merits as citizens, than by
trucking to the feudal lords Of a
realm that exists only in socially
diseased imagination. !
For the honor and respect due
West Virginia as bright and grow.
ing State,-growing in wealth, in

Since first we heard the battle, cry;
In memory of the soldiers dear.
Who sleep beneath the hallowed clay
On this bright Decoration Day:
While we DER them our flowers strew,
Who fought and fell meath the Red

Bravely they fought and nobly they died
Who started forth in their manhood 4
pride
And many home of its stay bereft,
In sadness and solitude was left.
How many were left on the field to Ian
guish,
With no one near to share their anguish,
While they thought of their homes, chill.
dren anc wives,
Bearer to them than their fast-ebbing
lives.
But not one of them all thought to COM
plain
Each patiently bore his terrible pain,
And rested securely in the belief

And in many a home. sad and forlorn,
Wives and children were left to mourn,
A husband, father, brother or friend,
Who left them their country to defend.
Oh hard and long was the battle waged
Fiercely and furiously it ragged;
But our Cause was just and though dear
ly we paid,
The Stars and Stripes the balance out
weighed.
And now DER our Land waves the Ban
ner of Peace,
From Bondage forever we have our re-
lease
From the North to the South, the East

Our people are prosperous, happy and

To those who suffered, bled and died
