the gathering might have been fruit

WHAT Shall the Harvest Be?" is a
subject that will occupy the minds of
men for the coming few months, and
it is one worthy the most serious re-
Election. We have now entered upon
what promises to be season of uneX-
ampled prosperity. Trade in all
branches is assuming an activity which
has not been experienced for several
years. Capital is bold and is seeking
new channels for investment. Labor
is fully employed at good wages, and
the artisan has his hands full. The
business man is pushed, while men en-
gagged in the various professions are
not wanting in plenty to do. The
busy season for the farmer has arrived,
and the Northwest never presented a
more fiattering outlook for an abund-
ant harvest than now. The heavy
SHOWS have melted away, followed by
warm, invigorating rains, and the soil
is in prime condition for seeding.
Unless all signs fail and all predictions
come to naught, the present will wit
ness the most prosperous season
vouchsafed to this country in many
years. With an outlook so promising
before us, it is time to discard lifelong
drawn-out face and assume a cheerful
countenance in keeping with our sur
roundings. The legislature has ad
journed, we are at peace with the
whole world and now is good time
to enjoy life for little time at least.

SPEAKING Of the Presidents visit
to Little Rock the Arkansas Democrat
says:
When the President comes to-mor-
row he will find no Democrats, no
Republicans, no Union-Labor men,
no partisans, but great mass of pat
riotic, liberty-loving American citi-
zens, proud Of their country and ready
to do honor to its chief magistrate.
Let the stars and stripes float on the
breeze in honor of the Presidents
coming, Let us paint the town red,

And the town was so painted. The
Arkansas people did themselves
proud, and exhibited a loyal spirit
thoroughly creditable.

With Pneumonia. Roots, Herbs, ETC.,
Scott Needs No Poison.
The coroners Jury in the alleged
poisoning case of Clayborne Scott met
at Sisters Sunday and continued their
investigation nearly all day. 1t was
brought out in the evidence that Scott,
who had been attended during tho first
few days of his illness by DR.. Stone,
afterwards drank seven pints of liquor,
eat everything he wanted, two roots and
herbs prescribed by two negro doctors,
drank water that had been standing in
his room for two days and wound up on
large dose of sulphur. One of the
colored physicians was placed on the
stand, and said he was authorized to
practice medicine. Oh, yes; he had a
diploma, not only one, but seven.
Coroner Gray then asked him how he
spelt his name, but he didn't know. He
never learned to spell.
And so post-mortem examination
was made after DIR. Stone stated posi-
lively that tho man had pneumonia.
and there was hardly suspicion that
the negro was poisoned.
The jury adjourned till Wednesday
to hear further report from DR.. j. Il.
Norman, who is making chemical
analysis OF the stomach.

ton of the eastern and western sections

each section to bear its own debt. The
two sections together having the requi-
site number of inhabltaats, five thou
sand, will secure for Radford hust-
ings court.
n great deal of comment Is being
caused and the que stion asked if tho
mining companies above this place can
not be prohibited from allowing the
refuse of their ore washers from empty
ing into the New river. This has been
the cause Of killing all the fish with
which this magnificent stream was we'll
stocked, and the water is very injurious
to the engine boilers Of the manufacture
ing plants along it's course, which are
dependent upon it for their water sup
ply. The mining companies could, at
little expense, build SO stling dams for
their purpose and make New river what
it once was.
