Judge J. J. Jackson recently rendered n
decision in favor of the Caperton heirs, thus
clearing the title to one hundred thousand
acres of land in Webster and other counties.
The Parkersburg Journal says:
"Senator J. y. Camden is very closely
interested in this case from the fact that
some time ago he purchased from the Ca
perton heirs nearly the whole Of the tract OF
land involved in the litigation with the
agreement that it was to be taken and paid
for when the title was cleared. 1t Is under
-tood that Senator Camdel Is so well salts
fled with the status Of the case that he now
takes the land and pays for it. he land is
well timbered and also contains coal and
other minerals. 1t is a tremendous real es-
tate deal, and is doubtless a good one for
the material prosperity OF the State, for Sen
ator Camden and those interested with him
in the purchase of this large tract Of land
will develop its resources, which have been
untouched"
The Richie Gazette, a few days ago, sneer-
ingly remarked:
Hon. D. B. Lucas is practicing law and Hon
J. y. Camden is building railroads-that is all
Camden is developing the resources of the
State to degree that will immortalize him,
whilst Lucas Is practicing law with an abil-
ity that would paralyze Brother Morris il
he got a chance at him" that is all.

Old-Styie CourtsItip.

Boston girls do not take kindly to the
proposition to reduce the surplus Of mar
riageable young women in that city by
deporting them in "job lots" to the new
States of the far West to meet the de-
mand there for wives.
One of the bright and pretty salesgirl'
interviewed on the subject by a reporter
said "When | get married it will be at
ter one of the old-fashioned courtships. "
She secuted the idea of jumping into n
matrimonial grab-bag TO get a husband,
and declined as wholly unsatisfactory the
plan of courtship by correspondence.
The Boston girls are right. The "old-
fashioned courtships' are best. A young
woman misses the sweetest thing in life,
and a young man is defrauded Of his
dearest birthright, in marrying without o
courtship that courts. The old-lashioned
kind may need some amendment to adopt
it to the unwritten law Of buckram and
financial civilization. But it is doubtful
if all the changes are improvements.
The old-fashioned courtship did not re
quire too much "mothering' or chaper
oning. 1t trusted something to the ma
tive purity and prudence Of young wo
men and to the honor and chiyalry Of
young men. And it is very doubtful il
the proportion Of happy marriages has
been increased by the guards and checks
which have been thrown around court
ship by the gradual introduction here OF
old world social customs.
The Boston girls who are not subject
to these customs propose to stand up for
their rights and privileges, and the young
men, at least, will glor, in their spunk.

was on the porch of the village tav-
ern when a tow-headed boy of 10 came
riding up on an old roam mare to spread
the news that his uncle Jim was dead
killed by falling tree. 1t appeared that
the uncle had many friends and relatives
in the village, ann it wasn't long before a
score of them gathered about the boy and
piled him with questions. He was rather
bashful, but he gave pretty straight ac-
count and furnished all particulars. The
crowd was still asking questions when a
man about sixty years old, lame and bent
and bald-headed, pushed his way in and
called out:

The brilliant but erratic Captain Eustace
Gibson probably gets as much fun out OF the
practice of the law a. any other attorney IN
the State, not excepting Robert ;. Blair, OF
Ritchie. About eighteen months ago Glb-
son was fined aud ordered imprisoned by
Judge McGnnis for cOntemptof court. An
appeal was taken and the Supreme Court
has reversed Judge McGinnis' decision and
remanded the case. As fighter Gibson IS
eoual to a banketed Indian, and unless he
can have some such diversion on hand as
the one Just mentioned, life soon becomes
monotonous. Whatever else may be said OF
Eustace. and this paper has said good
many things, it cannot be charged that the
musca domeaica lights on him in very great
numbers -ParkeTs5Hg Journal.
No, no-there are no flies on Eustaee
He isn't still long enough for that.
