the latter instance this is generally recog.
nrzed. but the average farmer doesn't be
lieve 1t. To the latter this little incident
may prove an s'eye opener" My brother
owns farm of 1913 acres in Union county,
N. j. A few years ago he valued the land
at from $50 to $75 an acre, but be was un-
able to sell even at that price. The farm
was Improbable. Bad roads made it diff
cult ard expensive to get it's produce to
market, and the profits did not represent
fair rate of interest on the estimated value
of tie land. Every day that he owned the
farm meant dead loss to him. By and
by the "rosd improvement craze" struck
Union county. About sixty miles of good
Telford highways were put down. What is
the result ? Well my brother has within
a few days refused 5000 an acre for his
land. And the cry that increased taxation
more than eats up the increased valuation
certainly does not hold good where the in.
crease of valuation is s125 per acre. More
over, the farm yields good profit now
And absolutely all of this has been brought
about by the Introduction of good roads,"
That such roads can be made in Vir-
ginia as easily and cheaply as in New
Jersey, and with the same profits, there
can be no doubt. Not only do they enable
farmers to transport more than double the
amount of produce in single wagon, and
at much greater speed, and with less wear
and tear, but they add five or ten times
the value to their farm land in the county.
The subject should be specially brought
to the careful attention of the next session
of our legislature. The farmers of the
State should press it with all their vigor."

TaImage's Busy Wife.
GLIMPSE OF THE GREAT PREACHER 8
BUSINESS MANAGER.

Mrs. Talmage is distinctly her husbands
right hand, and all the details of his busy
life are looked after by her, says Edward
W. Box in The Ladies' Home Journal. She
is a business woman, having a rare execu-
tive ability, capable Of easily hsndling q
number of things at the same time. Much
of DIR. Talmage's daily work is planned and
laid out by her. She makes his pastoral
and social engagements, and all his lectur-
ing interests are in her hands. She knows
his capacities even better than he. When
ever journey is to be made, it is she who
lays ont the route, procures the tickets and
staterooms, and attends to all the details.
No public man, perhaps, is saved so many
annoyanoes as is DR.. Talmage by his wife's
foresight and ability. The rear apartment
of the second floor is Mrs. Talmage's work
ing room. 1t is tastefuliy furnished, but
more with an eye to utility than ornamen-
tatiou. In this room Mrs. Talmage spends
most of her time. 1t is cher private den."
All the mail that is left at the house for
DR.. Talmage is taken into this room and is
opened by her. 1t is not an unusual thing
for the postman to deliver between one and
two hundred letters day, all of which pass
through Mrs. Talmage's hands. Business
letters are answered by her, and all letters
that may be of an unpleasant or annoying
personal nature are destroyed. DR.. Tai
mage never sees them.

Coop ROADS AND CAVALIER Does."-
These are two subjects of great practical
i'm portance to the State, and especially to
the farming interest to which the Alliance
would do we'll to turn its earnest attention.
If, in two or three years they san bring
about reform in these two connections, the
time and labor will be well spent.
We refer to the creation of a system of
good roads and to the determination Of
mean sheep killing dogs.
As to the last subject. it is absolutely be-
yond comprehension how sensible people
are contsnt to go on year after year sacri-
ficing great industry in order that con-
paratively small number of people may
keep one, two. OR 8 half dozen 'yai'er dogs. p"
This reform real y needs no argument.
Nine-teuths or pipeteen twentjeths of the
farmers, favor the sheep against the cur,
but will they have the practical wisdom to
concentrate and enforce the reform3
As to good county roads we are glad to
note that great interest seems to have re-
vived in them throughout the country. 1t
would be useless waste of time aud space
to bring forward arguments to enforce the
advantages of good roads and the paralyz
ing effects of bad roads. Ou this question,
opinion is practically unanimous.
The difficulty of the situation is to spur
the people to the point of submitting to the
necessary taxation. All want good roads,
but many shrink from the inevitable price.
We throw out these fragmeDtary sug-
gestious, in the hope that the Farmers
Alliance of Albemarle (which has often
taken the lead of their brethreu) may take
the matter in hand, formulate plan that
will bring about concentration so much

A ROMANCE REeALLED.-Mr. W. W.
Longmoor, clerk of the Kentucky Court of
Appeals, was stricken with paralysis Fri
day last whilst conversing with member
ON the floor of the Constitutional Conven-
tion at Frankfort, and died in less than
thirty minutes. His death recalls romance
of the war, in which he figured. Mr.. Long
moor was an ex.Confederate soldier, who
lost bis right leg in an engagement near
Cynthiana, KY, about the close of the war.
A Mimic ball shattered the limb, necessitat-
ing amputation. Mr.. Longmoor survived
the operation, but he suffered from the in
jury more or less till his death. This ac
cident had strong influence upon his life.
He was left on the battlefield with his ter
rible wound, but he fell into tender hands
When he recovered consciousness he found
himself under the ministering care of a
lovely young lady. The ladies of Cy yhtniana
had organized themselves into relief as
sociation and Mr.. Longmoor had become
the charge of Miss Adams. 1t was a fitting
sequel that love should have followed their
being brought together under such remark
able circumstances, and their union, which
took place as soon as the young soldier was
able to get about, was but the beginning of
their happiness. 1t was a union which
death alone could dissolve Bait. Sun,

The Hatfield Mccoy Entente.

The feuds of Scottish clans have been
the theme of song and story and have en-
listed the interest of the whole English
speaking world, thanks to the genius of
Sir Walter Scott end other writers of To-
mances, but the wars of the Hatfelds and
McCoys along the border line of Kentucky
and West Virginia, though equally import
ant and bloodier, are still without the
glamour of taking description. The at
tention of our romanceis may perhaps be
attracted to this promising field by the an
nouncementj just made that the Hatfield Nc
Coy feud is now to be ended as it began,
with marriage. The vendetta which was
initiated thirty years ago WIS given It's chief
vigor by a Hatfield killing Mccoy who
had married a girl to whom the Hatfield
was betrothed. The bad feeling thereby
produced was not lessened by the fact that
the bride was herself a Mccoy, cousin of
the murdered man. Within the last few
years the sqdsbble has developed into open
war between Wayne county, W. Va, and
Pike county, Kentucky, with the result
that some two hundred lives have been lost
in battles, skirmishes, stand-up fights and
ambuscades. Assassination" and "mur-
der'' are the terms with which the modern
world would describe most of these con-
flicts. ''Street brawl' is perhaps the most
dignifed epithet it would apply to any of
them, though it is doubtful whether the
bloody doings Of the Highland clans-now
adorned in fine poetic phrase-were on
higher plane of refinement or humanity.
So much does the historical aspect of the
acts of half civilized peoples depend upon
the temperament and bias of the histori-
ographer. But wedding, it appears, is
soon to end the state of war between the
Hatfield and Mccoy clans. Aaron Hatfield,
a nephew Of "Devil Anse." the head of the
family, will in May marry daughter of
the Mccoy clan. There will be barbecue
on the banks of the Big Sandy, in Wayne
county, to celebrate the event, and to the
barbecue will gather all the members of
both families, with the object of formally
ratifying the terms of a permanent peace.
That this is the purpose of the parties to
the feud is explicitly announced in letter
to the Wayne NsWs from Cap Hatfield, who
succeeded "Dsvil Ahse" in tho leadership
when the latter was sent to prison. Cap
declares with authority that "a general
amnesty has been declared" The past is
to be forgotten. Il do not wisb," he says,
Ito keep the old feud alive. rejoice at
the prospect of peace. l have devoted my
life to arms. We have undergone the loss
of lives and property. Now l propose to
rest in spirit OF peace" This is reassur-
ing. Kentucky and West Virginia will
doubtless feel relieved at the subsidence of
the disorder that has so long troubled their
relations. 1t will. however, be we'll not to
trust too much to "Cap's" peaceful declar-
ations till after the wedding and barbecue
have occurred. One dram too much of
sold rye" at the proposed gathering might
bring about general interchange of shots
and convert the barbecue into slaughter.
Lovers of peace will, therefore, breathe
easier after the e7entful day in May is past.

Importance of Gsod County Roads.

Importance of Gsod County Roads.
In an article on this subject, the Lynch
burg Meas, in its issue of March 18th,
says:
''The Neos described yesterday the great
want of good couoty roads in Virginia and
the almost complete lack Of them. 1t may
be said that with the exception of the Nc
Adam road, which runs from Winchester
up n portion of the Valley tn Staunton,
there is not really a substantial and navi-
gable wagon read 10 any portion of the
State. OF course all of our people are fully
aware of these distressing facts, and in
such wretched winter as we now have
everybody is most sensibly impressed with
the great evils and disadvantages resulting
from such state of things to- o>all classes of
our people in country and town. But when
good weather comes again, as it will in the
spring, and the county roads become once
more tolerably passable, too many Of our
country friends will forget their present
want of good roads, and fail to apply any

l. may be remarked that our State is
not the only one that is fearfully lacking in
good reads, but we notice that many Of
tbs N thus deficient have set earnestly to
work to remedy the evil and repair the
damage. Among the m We find New Jersey
ahead of all that have come under our OBJ
servatiou. The new plan they have
adopted of making coed and lasting roads
is called the Telford system, and is simply,
as we remarked yesterday, making sound,
solid bottom to the road. Of course they
cost more than common mudpike, such
as we have, but when once made they en-.
dure for years and cost little to keep them
in splendid order. To show the great
practical advantages of them to the farmer,
we need only quote the following from Mr.
Thos. Nevins, of Orange county, N. j.,
where such roads exist, and where theil
great value is already fully appreciated
He says: !:
''Good roads mean everything to COM
munity. In agricultural communities they
mean the difference between prosperity and
adversely; in towns they mean the differ
ence between growth and stagnation. In

The THIRD MAID.

1t was on a wild October evening about
year ago that my wife and arrived by
train at we'll known watering place in the
north of England. The wind was bowling
and roaring with delight in it's resistless
power; the rain came Kissing down in large
drops.
Our hotel was situated on an eminence
overlooking the town; and as we slowly
ascended to it in our cab, we thought,
"Well, we must uot be surprised to fiud our
intended abode for the night has vanished" !"
However. presently we stopped 10 front
of q building which looked substantial
enough to Withstand anything, and in an
swer to our drivers application to the bell,
the door was promptly opened by smartly
attired porter. He was closely followed by
a person full of smiles and bows, who post
ed himself in the door way ready to receive
US.
All at once there was terrific bang, as
though forty-pounder had been fired to
welcome our arrival, and he of the smiles
and bows was hutled headlong against the
muddy wheel of our conveyance by the
slamming to of the large door. Ny wife's
bonnet blew off and tugged hard at its
moorings; the light in the porch was extin-
guished, while the wind seemed to give a
ing upon Us. Here we were, then, in total
darkness and exposed to the drenching rain.
However, half an hour afterward Ill our dis
comforts were forgotten as we sat down to
an excellent dinner la carte.
Next morning l was abroad very early,
looking for lodgings. Fortune seemed to
smile upon me on this occasion, for scarce
ly had proceeded fifty yards from my hotel
when I came upon a very nice looking row
of houses, and in the window of the first
was "Lodgings to let" Knocking at the
door, it was soon opened By very neat
looking maid.

but as told chat Miss G. was not yet

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, A CLEANING KNIFE,
CARELESS HUSBAND.

She came into the room, where he sat
alone, says the New York Mirror, with a
glittering knife in her clinched hand amid
the folds of her dress.
Her face was white and drawn and her
eyes were wild and haggard looking.
He, the man whose name she bore, sat by
the CRATE fire, deep in thought, and never
heard the slippered football of the beautiful
woman who now stood behind his chair
with strange, cold smile upon her lips
Suddenly, with gasp, she cast the
knife from her toward the bed of glowing
GOALS, but it sank silently into a divan at
the other side of the room.

A pitying, Kelceyesque expression broke
across the Gothic granite of his cheek and

But she spoke no word, only raised one
white hand towards him, in which was
clasped lead-pencil.
