Word comes from Washington that
the Hon. George NJ. Bowers, OF
Berkeley County, is to have one Of
the two Census Supervisorships for
this State. 1t is stated that his dis.
trict will comprise the First and Sec.
ond Congressional districts and some
counties of the Fourth, and that he
will have about $50 ennmerators
under him. Mr.. Bowers is splendid
man for the place. He is young.
active and q fine business man, and
this is what the position requires

1t is possible that even Fleming
himself may want session of the

The thousand colored Republicans
who were not permitted to vote in
1888, in this State, will surely have
a residence in 1892.
Railroads, electric lights, coal
mines, coke manufactures. etc, will
cause West Virginia to go Republi-

1892.
Both the majority aud the ininori-
ty reports of the gubernatorial con-
test committee. in case of pressing
necessity, could be written in ten
minutes.
The waiting on the gubernatorial
contest committee to report, before
converting the Legislature in extra
session, is nothing hut miserable
pretext for delay.
There will be no discount on the
Republican majorities in Mercer and
Mcdowell counties next time. Even
the fourteen Virginia darkies will
acquire residence by 1892.

HEROES OF PEACE.

Peace 5ss der heroes as ell as

were at work III the California POW.

Walker was on duty looking after
the nitrog lycerine department. Sud-
denly a boiling vat of that terrible
explosive ran over and the whole
top was a sheet OF fame. Without
an instant's hesitation Walksr set to
work unaided to distinguish the
flames. His clothing caught fire,
but he worked on. He succeeded,
though he was burning to death as
he worked. When he had stopped
the fire and the danger was past, he
staggered away, his clothing on the
lower part OF his body dropping
from him in ashes as he walked.
He had saved his fellow workmen,
but at the cost Of his own life. Had
he fed when the explosive boiled
Overland took fire he could have es-
capped unscathed, bat every man in
the works wonld have been destroy
ed.
Vandyke Heyser was the 1S-year-
old son of a Kentucky farmer. He
boarded slow accommodation train
to go to Louisville to seek work.
Through some oversight a fast mail
train crashed into the accommoda-
ton train, telescoping it. When it
was seen that an accident was ineyi-
table the passengers rose and fed
from the ear. Heyser had nearly
reached the platform and in a sec
ond more whould have been safe,
when woman reached his side
nearly faintiug with fright. She
would have fallen and been killed
had not Heyser stopped and sup.
ported her with one arm, stepped to
one side and forced her to pass him
to the platform. Before he could
follow her the crash came. When
Heyser was dragged out from the
ruins of the coach, be was so badly
crushed about the hips that he died
within few hours. Truly these
two men were heroes, indeed

DR.. TALMAGE'S SERMON.

DR.. Talmage's text was: "God
shall wipe away all tears from their
ey es." He said:
81 speak of the tears of the good.
They are falling all the time. Though
it may be all fright round about us,
there is shower of trouble some
where all the time. | will tell you
what tear is; it is agony in solu.
ton.
cit is the design of trouble to
keep this world from being TOO attrac.
tive. Something must be done to
make US willing to quit this exis.
tence. If it were not for trouble this
world would be a good enough
heaven for me. You and Iwould be
willing to take ii lease of this life for
a hundred million years if there
were no trouble.
sit was not until Job had been
worn out with bereavement and car
buncles and a pest of q wife that he
wanted to see God. 1t was not until
the prodigal got tired of living
among the hogs that he wanted to
90 to his fathers house. 1t is the
ministry of trouble to make this
world worth less and heaven worth
more.
"Can you not tell when you hear
a man pray whether he has had
trouble? / can. The cadence, the
phraseology indicated it. Why do
women pray better than men? Be-
cause they have had more trouble.
Before a man has had any trouble,
his prayers are poetic, and he begins
way up among the sun, moon and
stars and gives the Lord a great
deal of astronomical information
that must be highly gratifying. He
then comes down gradually over
beautiful tablelands to forever and
ever, amen But after q man has
had trouble, prayed is with him a
taking hold of the armof God and
crying for help.n

WINTER APPLES.

What cheer is there that is half SO good
In the snowy waste of winter night.
As q dancing fire of hickory wood.
And an easy chair in its mellow light
And pearmain apple. rudy and slick,
Or jennetting with freckled cheek ?
A russell apple is fair to view,
With a tawny tint like an autumn leaf,
The warmth of ripened cornfield s hue,
Or golden hint of a harvest sheaf
And the wholesome breath of the finish.

They bring you a thought of the orchard
trees,
In blossomy April and leafy June,
And the sleepy droning of bumble-bees,
In the lazy light of the afternoon,
And tangled clover and bobolinks,
Tiger-lilies and garden pinks.
If you've somewhere left, with its gables

A farm house set in an orchard old,
You II see it all in the winter tide
At sight of a pippin g green and gold.
Or pearmain apple, ruddy and sleek,
Or jennetlng with freckled cheek.

SAVE THE FRUIT.-The GOLD LEAF
commends to fruit growers in this sec
ton the following timely advice from
Hon. John Robinson, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, which we find in the cur
rent issue of the Bulletin:
The present fruit crop of the State is
abundant-especially is this true Of the
peach If properly taken care of it must
prove source of much comfort and lux
urv rs well as immense revenue.
From PRESENT indications there can be
no money in shipping the peach as it
ripens, possibly not paying transpOrta-
ton.
Euaporated fruits Arrays bring good prices
when nicely handled, and are then in con
dition to be kept. The testimony of all
grOcerymen with whom have cOnversed
is, that North Carolina canned goods are
equal to any, ii not superior, which, to
say the least, is very encouraging. There
unquestiOnably is more money in can
ming than in any other mode of preserv-
ing the fruit when parties are prepared
for it and understand it. Where not pre-
pared to can, save by evaporation, by all
means save the fruit. An evaporation
costs but little, and is easily handled
One North Carolina dealer in dried fruits
told this writer last summer, long before
the close of the season, that he had ship
ped seventeen ear loads OF dried black
berries, and he was satisfied he would
ship eighteen more, making in all thirty
five ear loads.
This is merely given to show the i'm
mense demand, and how difficult to over
/ stock the market in dried or canned
| fruits.
