ARP VAN WINKLE JOURNAL

The Virginia Chronicle is very
much disturbed because the ap-
preparations OF the last Congress
equal the entire national debt,
prior to the war.
The Chronicle uses this argu-
ment in an endeavor to convince
it's readers that the country is
about to become hopelessly bank
rupt.
A sensible examination OF the
proposition shows that the count
ry has grown since the war, and
that the cost Of running the
country increases in proportion to
its advancement.
The nation is in the same con-
dition as a merchant who finds it
costs more to run a four story
brick establishment, than it did
when his business consisted mere
ly of a peanut stand on the street
corner.
After the South failed on it's eff
forts to dismantle the Union, its
great vitality as nation was fully
demonstrated, and American Sc
curities are now regarded as Gilt
edged in the money marts Of the
Old World.
Since that time the country has
displayed its tremendous recup-
erative energies, and every time
the sun rolls across the sky that
canopies this land, it gilds the
United States with an additional
million dollars of wealth.
After the war the country went
ahead with great leaps of pros
perity. The advancement was az
fected under a Republican regime.
The party was often charged
with corruption, and justly, but
never with old fogyism.
1t simply costs moro to run the
country than ever, because it is
bigger and older, just as the an
nual expenses Of man cost moro
than a boys.
We are rounding up quarter
of century Of progress, and tn.
Rip Van Wrinkle press Of Democ-
racy wonders why we are going
ahead and why our expense bill il
so large.
In ten years more 1t will FRO.
badly be double, and go on in.
creasing as it keeps abreast of the
natural developments Of the
greatest nation Of the earth.

NOT A QUESTION OF SPITE.

Some parties in this city have
charged the APPEAL with being &C
tuated by "spite" In demanding
that the county demand satisfac-
ton Of the bondsmen OF all county
officials who have appropriated
moneys to their own use, which
should have gone into the treas
ury.
Now here is just where a good
many people get things sadly
mixed. The feeling Of the Editor
OF the APPEAL toward the party
charged has nothing whatever to
do with the case. The question
which just now interests the tax
payers Is the guilt or innocsnse OF
the accused and the solvency Of
his bondsmen.
Mr.. Edwards Clerk OF the q. 8.
Court, was hired as an expert to
go over the books and he reported
that one of the county officers had
received $500 which he had not
accounted for.
Mr. Edwards received If we are
not mistaken $3.50 for his work and
the report is now in the hands OF
the County Commissioners.
The $4OO shortage he reported
would if received pay his fees as
expert and leave a balance OF $3.50.
This is business.
Since this matter has been
stirred up Information has come
to the APPEAL OF other shortages
Of county officers which were al
lowed 20 run along and never
collected for fear Of hurting the
feelings Of bondsmen and the
chances are that by this time most
of the cases are outlawed, all be-
cause Grand Jurors are not attent-
tive to business or fear to perform
their duties.

well'known fact, although not ro'
corded IN history, that Columns
and his men anchored their sh;us
IN vertible oyster cove wha"
they first landed on American soil
and old Columbus insisted on an
oyster chowder before he wopId
make a step inland.
Since that time the oyster ba.

the %reiaurant sounds its praises in
silent tones, while The cafe ON The
corner serves up the oyster, fresh
from lis beds in the gulf, as lis
only Iood for the hungry p~opnlaee
In this way The oyster has es,ah.
llshed itself as "A permanancy on
the long list of American eilbles
and has gradually endeared itself
to the hearts Of The public until at
the present time II is the king of
the many varied offerings of The
deep.
The average American is a queer
conglomera'ion OF iancilul ideas
and crankisl beliefs. He Is espec.
tally undivided in his tastes when
il comes TO eating. 1t takes the
oyster to bring out in all ludicrous
absnrdily these innate propensi-
lies Of The American epicurr. Ii
takes the oyster to bring those
strange characteristics TO The front
and hold them mp to The ridicule
of HE public. 1t is always these
instruments OF silent reproach that
accomplish the most good in the
world. For instance, take the
strange revolutions of opinion
wrought by the oyster, and the
charges, also, in the last century.
In those days the oyster was
dipped up from its cosy parlor be.
meath the sheleering edge of some
huge bowlder in the ocean, aad
after being dIvestea of its she'll was
made ready for the OF. But do
you supp} e he was put in that rot
without first being diasccied If
Won do you are much mistaken.
First the oyster was thoroughly
washed. All of that NEE thick
juice was thoroughly cradicaied
from his carcass. Then he was cut
open and his stomach taken oai.
No oyster with his stomach leltlh
him was eaten those days.
The oyster has many names;
many TENS by which il is known.
Some people call them biyalyes,
and il YOU ever hear any one
speak of a thing as being dead
open and shut. you can rely omit
that he is referring t. the oyster.
because The oyster is either dead
open, or shut all The time. They
are also called rnckbcrries or ocean
groundeis. They are eaten IN
most cities, either fried, Slowed or
raw. Real naughty oysters are

an oyster being in the soup you
can put 1t down that he has been
doing something bad, and is a

- Atsefs noefoeo " eeitn Dug Up oy
Farmer In Flowing
MILAN, Tenn, April 9.-There lived
near Troy, oblon County. during the
war, . blacksmith named Blank. The
old man worked early and late and
boarded up what money he made. He
made no display of his wealth, yet
everybody knew he made money and
was saving 1t. When he died it was ex-
pectsd that several thousand dollars
worth of vsluabies and money would
be found, but not enough was found to
bury him. Those who had watched the
old fellow thought that he had buried
his money somewhere, and that the
secret had died with him. These
persons went to work digging up
time and again, every foot OF
ground the old fellow possessed, yet no
success attended their efforts, and 1t
was finally concluded that the old man
bad made some other use OF his money.
One or two who believed differently
dug up year after year. Finally the
land passed into the possession of Bill
Harris. He heard of these rumors bat
did not believe IN them. He titled the
farm every year and yesterday while
plowing the share struck a piece of
wood, making grating sound, and
tearing the earth up for some few feet.
He stopped and went back and found
several gold coins. He then found the
box in which the old blacksmith had
boarded his treasure. 1t is reported
that nearly So, 500 was in the box.
