The above sage advice is given by New

and Influence their thought We

order to present the other side OF the pic

not imagine, girls, that you could ever be
happy with man whose chief pleasures are
found in the company Of the unthinking
and hayward, who delights more in the
frivolities and designations of the world
than in the associations of the Preside and
the companionship of thoughtful, high
minded men and women. He would soon
become source Of painful disappointment
and anxiety to yOu.-NorfOE Landmark.

The Chamber Of Commerce.

The city Of Staunton and the country
identified with it in trade-relations have
more good in store through the work Of
the Chamber of Commerce than they may
imagine. The Board of Directors of that
body have something to say 10 day IL their
circular which appears in another column.
1t is an institution which commends itself
for good work to all cities and towns NOV
ing forward with the progress Of tbs tirnes.
Manchester has just come to the front with
the Chamber of Commerce, because of the
benefits her people s,e follow concerted eff
fort. Staunton has had her Chamber of
phenomenal stability and the steady growth
of five years. 1t seems to be inspired with
new life, and at the next meeting in March
it is supposed there will be twenty-five Or
more additions to its membership. The
stronger the Chamber is made the greater
will be its work.

We never heard of the editor of the Spec
tator being in Highland, and the natural
conclusion would be that our Mcdowell
correspondent, resident of the county,
knows more about it's gold and coal mines
than the editor of the Spectator does
Highland Recorder.
If the aforesaid correspondent did not
know 'more" about the "gold" in High
land than "the editor of thu SPECTATOR -
he would not know much about it. Though
''tt editor of the Spectator" has long had
a longing desire to visit that interesting
county in whose oranges and hills, "says the
Recorder, '1ie hidden, in iuexhausible
q lantities, every variety of minerals found
in tie Allegheny SYSTEM" he has never
been able TO crafty that desire; but hopes
to d. SO in "the sweet by-and by"when the
''gold mine" shall be discovered. When
that event occurs, the editor of the Recorder
may hear "of the editor of the Spectator
being iu Highland, "and he hopes that time
will soon arrive, as "hope deferred maketb

SIXTY PER CENT lNTEREST.-A CORE
spondeDt of the Philadelphia Press at
DEVILS Lake, North Dakota, telegraphs a
pitiful account of the want and suffering in
that section of country, the result of crop
failures and severe weather. One farmer,
a New Highlander, whose property is shin
gled all over with mortgages, assured the
correspondent that there was not a bushel
of feed for the stock nor quart of seed
wheat on bis place. Another representa-
tive farmer of the section. New Yorker
by birth, has seventeen head of live stock,
but owing to the drouth and failure to secure
hay crop has sent his four horses sixty
miles away to winter. All of his stock is
covered by chattel mortgages except six
cows. The land Is mortgaged also. He
has no seed grain, but expects to get it from
the county. There are fifty bushels of oats
in his bin, and this he is saving to strength
en- his horses for spring work. Other visits
were paid and the same story repeated. No
feed, no seed wheat, nothing but mortgages.
The trail of the money-lender is oyer it all,
and at good round sixty per cent, rate at
that. Many persons have been obliged to
live on short rations, and despite consider
able outside aid there has been great deal
Of suffering. At one point seventy needy
families we're supplied with the necessaTies
