The Four Learned Professions.

There are four learned professions
law, medicine, teaching and divin-
ity.
The lawyer cares for property and
estate, and because men love lucre
more than aught else, the lawyer is
paid more than the graduates of any
other profession.
The doctor cares for the body. and
because men esteem their bodies
and this temporal life much, he is
paid well.
The teacher cares for the mind,
and because men do not think so
much about their minds as about
their bodies and estates, the teacher
is paid less than the lawyer or the
doctor.
The preacher looks to the immor-
tai soul and its eternal veal or woe,
and as most men esteem this ofleast
Importance, so it is that the ministry
is paid less than other profession,
and ministers are expected to look
to the hereafter for their reward for
toll and thought. -Ladies' Messen-

of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who

tain by proper enquiry, have offered

how long standing, which they can
not cure. The Remedy, which is

Never Heard Of "Davy CrOcket's COon9',

That's queer! Well, it was like
this: Col. Crockett was noted for
his skill as a marksman. One day
he lereled his gun at racoon in a
tree, when the animal, knowing the
JoloneIs proves, cried out, Hello,
there. Are you Davy Crockett? If
you are, I'll just come down, for /
know I'm gone COON" Just take
a dose OF DR.. Plerce's Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets, and see how quickly
your biliousness and indigestion
will emulate the example Of ''Davy
Crockett's coon" and "climb down."
They are specifics for al derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and
bowels.

REWARD OF INGENUITY.

A large fortune has been reaped
by miner who invented metal
rivet or eyelet at each end Of the
mouth OF coat trousers pockets to
resist the strain caused by the car
rlage of pieces of ore or heavy tools.
In recent legal action it trans
pired in evidence that the inventor
of the metal plates used to protect
soles and heels from wear sold up
ward Of 100000 plates in 1879,
and in 1887 the number reached
143, 100000, producing realized pro-
fits of 81, 100000.
As large sum as was ever OBJ
tanned tor any invention was enjoy
ed by the inventor Of the inverted
glass bell to hang over gas to pro-
tect the ceilings from being blacken-
ed, and scarcely less lucrative patent
was that for simply putting emery
powder on cloth.
Frequently times and circum-
stances are wanted bcfore an inven-
ton is appreciated; but it will be
seen that patience is well rewarded
for the inventor OF roller skate made
over 81, 100000, Notwithstanding the
fact that his patent had nearly ex-
pired before its value was ascertain
ed.
The gimlet pointed screw has pro-
duced more wealth than most silver
pines, and the American who first
thought of putting copper tips to
children's shoes is as we'll as if his
father had left him 100000 in
United States bonds.

made by the inventor of the COM

going might be added thousands Of

paid.
Few inventions pay better than

ton of strange little play thing to

The invention of "Pharoah's ser.
penis" toy much in vogue some
years ago, was the outcome of some
chemical experiments, apd brought
the inventor more than $4,000.

A Large Sale of Land,

On Tuesday last, at Warm Springs,
Commissioner John W. Stephenson sold
Samuel Strong's one-half of SO 900 acres
of land located IN Bath county, east of the
Warm Springs mountain. 1t was bought
by John u. Baker of Washington city, for
$4,000. The land has history 1t was
formerly owned by Gen. Benz. f. Butler
of Massachusetts,, who sold it to Samuel
Strong, masonry contractor from West
moreland county, Va. Strong afterwards
got Gen. Butler to make the deed to his
brother, Robert Strong, instead of himself
Strong's creditors attacked the deed and
the case was referred by Judge McLaugh-
lin to Special Commissioner W. M. Meal
lister Of Warm Springs. The Special Com
missioner reported chat it was Samuel
Strong's land and liable for his debts, and
it was under that report, which was con-
firmed by the court, that the sale was
made. The purchaser, Mr.. Baker, was
one of the creditors OF Strong. Last week,
Strong obtained an award of $28 257 ,3S
from the government, for masonry work
done in Washington city. Gen. Butler,
who has been his principal counsel since
1885, claimed the award. as the assignee of
over $40 900 of whatever claim shall be
awarded Strong, and got out an Injunction
restraining Strong from drawing it. Mr..
S. T. Thomas, former attorney of Strong,
has an assignment also from Strong cover
ing this award. dated in 1887.

The Question of Immigration.

The State Board of Agriculture met at
Richmond on Monday. President Absalom
Koiner of Augusta, presiding. Judge
Grattan of Staunton, the State Immjgra-
ton Solicitor Of the Board, made briei
business talk to the members. He recon-
mended the issuance of publication set
ting forth the advantages and resources of
the State, anG that a page CT more be CIV
en- to each county, and that statements of
several farms in each county be given.
Let these statements show the actual
profit and loss. If he could point to Mr..
A who owned farm worth $50 an acre
and yielding 12 per cent. it would have a
wonderful effect on those who are making
not more than per cent, and have to pay
II cents tax. In his section Of the State
many of the farms would show returns of
from to IL per cent, whereas in Indiana
and Ohio many farms that cost large
prices return not more than per cent.
He said the one thing necessary was to
keep the ball in motion and drive it on.
Judge Grattan recommended that the
lands be rated at fair prices and not held
at fictitious figures. In conclusion the
Judge submitted an outline of such a pub
LEGATION as he thinks should be issued.
State Commissioner Of Agriculture Thos.
Whitehead, Maj. W. T. Sutherlin of Dan
vile, and H. l.. Lyman of Albemarle. all
heartily endorsed the views of Judge Graf
tan. On Tuesday the Board adopted
resolution looking to maps of the State,
and also maps of the counties, the latter
to be furnished by the Boards of County
Supervisors. On Tuesday, Judge Grattan
addressed the Farmers Assembly on the
subject. The Assembly requested a copy
of his address for publication.

TFrom the Florence, Ala. Wave Jan. 18th
Mr.. G. B. Koiner. of Fishersvllle. and
Mr.. j. F. Templeton, of Waynesboro,
Va, paid our office call on Wednesday
last. They informed US that both had be-
come interested in our town, by the
purchase of stock and property, and as
they wished to keep Informed of the pro-
gress we made, each became subscriber
to the Wave. We inferred from their con-
versation that one and probably both
would become citizens of Our town at an
early day.
Col. E. I, Jones, Superintendent of the
Florence Building Co., showed US tele-
gram upon yesterday. instructlng him to
commence at once the construction of 40
new houses and to complete if possible by
the first day of ensuing month. He says
that he cannot complete them all by Feb.
LIST, but that it will be an eye opener to some
builders and contractors to see how soon
he will do it.

Secretary Dadmun's Bible Training
Glass.

Not less than eight hundred persons at
tended public session of the Y. M. q. A.
Bible Training Glass at the First PresbY-
terrain church, last Sunday evening.
Besides the teacher. General Secretary
E. T. Dadmun, there were present four
teen members of the class-Messrs. II. M.
McIlhany, Guy Cochran, James Ker, Jr.,
c. G. Berry, A. M Howison, Jas. L. Tenn
pleton, J. J. Prufer. Jas. T. Lightner
Geo. II. Bell, T. K. Woodhouse, Harry
Coleman, VIM. H. Shirley, Taylor Mccoy
and Ed. Hotchkiss.
There was no set lesson, but the exer-
else was partial review of what the class
has been over during the last three months,
no one knowing what was coming. The
questions were rapid and general, and the
prompt ness with which they were answer.
ed, and the familiarity with the Bible
which was shown, was a surprise and de.
light to the audience, who could hardly
understand how business men, absorbed in
their business, could have found the time
to obtain such proficiency IN so short a
time.
While all recited so creditably, it is diff
cult to particalarlze. but on this occasion
the general promptness, accuracy. and
distinctness of Mr.. Ker's replies, made
so strong an impression on the audience
that the general verdict awarded him the
championship.

Gen. Harrison replied in remarks of
some five minutes in length.
"What did Gen. Harrison say about the
mission, ANYTHING touching his intentions
in the matter p"
81 am not at liberty to report what he
said. He requested of the delegation that
his remarks should not be made public, as.
there being no reporters present. they
would only be made the subject of unin-
formed comment. After DR.. Webb pre-
| sented the memorial Of the members of
the legislature, the formalities ended, and
Gen. Harrison asked us to make ourselves
! at home. A general conversation begun.
in which we found Gen. Harrison very
approachable and pleasant man. He
inquired about many things in Virginia.
He gave US he impression from his whole
manner that he is man of great deter
mination and is going to be President
himself. He has sober and dignified
demeanor, but withall affable. He looked
like man who had been greatly over
worked. We staid there about an hour
and then went straight back to the hotel
and took the $40 train reaching here at
$40 Sunday evening.
"What was the general outlook for
Gen. Malone, as far rs you could gather,

"On our whole trip, and while in India
napolis we found that every prominent
Republican seemed to recognize Malone
, as the leading Southern Republican, and
| to regard the recent action of the opposi-
, ton to him in Virginia. as belated, ill
timed and to have no place in the matter
of making up cabinet. 1t seemed to be
generally recognized that since John s.
Wise had left the State, and the two Yosts
had fallen into line, the whole opposition
movement Is substantially at an end"
II see that the Republicans of the North
Carolina legislature are reported to have
rescinded their action endorsing Gen. Ma
hone for the cabinet. How will that affect
his prospects ?"
mo; the Moth Carolina Republicans
have not resc1nded their action. The body
that adopted that action has held no meet
ing since. A number of outsiders met later
in Raleigh and got a few members of the
former caucus with them and adopted re-
scinding resolutions, but that will have
no weight with anybody and amounts to
nothing"

! half of Gen. Malone the end of effort in
