What Yonr Great Grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the fax and carded
the wool, and wove the linen, and
spun the tow, and made the clothes
for her husband and ten children.
She made butter and cheese, she
dipped tallow candles, to light the
honse at night, and she cooked all
the food for her household by an
open fireplace and brick oven.
Yes; and when she was forty years
of age, she was already. an old lady
whose best days were over Her
shoulders were bent and her joints
enlarged by hard work, and she wore
spectaces and cap. Her great
granddaughter, with all the modern
conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be as charming
and attractive at forty-five as at
twenty. Especially is this true if
she preserves her health and beauty
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which wards off all
female ailments and Irregularities,
cures them if they already exist,
keeps the life current healthfnl and
vigorous, and enables the woman Of
middle age to retain the freshness
of girlhood upon brow and cheek,
the light of youth in her eyes, and
it's elasticity in her step. Sold by
all druggists.

One day harsh word, rashiy said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And like sharp and cruel dart
1t pierced a fond and loving heart;
1t turned friend into foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe,
A kind word followed it one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
1t healed the wound, it soothed the pain,
And friends of old were friends again.
1t made the hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought joy and peace.
But yet the harsh word left trace
The kind word could not quite eiface,
And though the heart its love regained
1t bore the scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive but not forget,
Or lose the sense OF keen regret.
O, if we could but learn to know
How swift and sure Utir words can go,
How would We weigh with utmost care
Each Thought tefuft II sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like Nkite-winget messengers Of love.

Golf in 1892.


No man in West Virginia is more
thoroughly conrersant with Nation
al or State politics than is Exon
gresham George w. Atkinson. Mr..
Atkinson has been in the East sew
eral days, and by means of his
thorough acquaintance with the
leading men of the Republican party
in Washington has er;oyed unusual
facilities for informing himself on
the feeling in the inner party circles.
Mr. Atkinson returned home Satur-
day, and yesterday evening News
reporter called on him in his office.
"Will Blaine be candidate for the
Presidential nomination. was the
abrupt question which the reporter
propounded
mo, he WON'T was the direct re-
ply. The country is for him, from
one end to the other, but there are
two reasons why he will not be a.
candidate for President. . The first
is his health. From what / heard
at Washington, | am really afraid
chat Mr. Blaine is sick man. The
second reason is, that he is mem
Der of Mr.. Harrsons's cabinet. 1t

not be a candidate against Harrison,
for this reason, if for no other. /

dent and the country would like to
see him President. He. would have

would be a President, too"
HARRISON THE MAN.

didate?"
Harrison | think beyond doubt,
and now | want to hedge to some
extent on some assertions | made
recently at Washington, which indi-
Gated doubt of Republican victory.
| have had great reason to be encour-
aged recently, and believe now that
Harrison will be re elected. There
are only two contingencies in which
l can see that he will be beaten
The first is the passage of a free
silver bill by the next Congress and
its veto by the President; the second
is the defeat of the Republican party
by the Alliance in Kahsas, Nebraska,
and Iowa. But the trend of public
sentiment generally, | think, is now
toward the Republican party, in.
stead of away from it.
ITO what do you ascribe this

GOV. FLEMING IN TOWN.
West yirginia's Executive Talks About
His State-Its Wealth.


Gov. A. B. Fleming. of West Vir
ginia, and Attorney General Cald
well, of the Board Of Public Works
of that State, started out last week
on the annual inspection of the rail
roads in that state, for assessment
and taxes. 10 which their state is
considerably interested, and from
there both officers came to Balti-
more. Attorney General Caldwell
went to Attorney General Whyte's
office, to arrange for an adjustment
of the long pending dispute of the
boundsry-line between the two states
on the western frontier of Maryland,
but failed to meet Mr.. Whyte.
Gov. Fleming said that the inspec-
tion of the railroads of his state will
not be completed before the middle
of the week; but he had so far seen
enough of the development of West
Virginia to say that its improvement
is really astonishing, and yet its
mineral wealth is only partly availed
of, and it has great forests of valua-
BILE timber. The State is well known
to be full of coal and rich woods;
but it also has very fertile farming
and grazing lands, that have been
titled for many years, and some of
the farms have been continuously in
the same families for a hundred
years. There is now pear tree on
his own farm where his grand father
told him he had seen an Indian
shoot a snow bird from its branches.
"There are lands in our state"
said Governor Fleming, that the
owners would hardly pay taxes on
ten or fifteen years ago, and now
they demand from $40 to $500 an
acre for them Wesl Virginia is
rapidly filling up with people, and
new industries are being established
along the railroads like those along
the Norfolk and Western and the
West Va. and Pittsburg
A great deal of outside capital has
been put into our State; but the
leaders in its enterprises and devel-
opment have been our own citizens
-men.like ex. Senator Henry G.. Da-
Wis and ex Senator Camden. They
put their own money and work and
energy into our properties. like mines
and timber lands and railroads and

gallery of the fourth corridor to the

course, if he is sick, then he will be
taken to the hospital, or if he is Civ
en- other work he will be put where
it will be the most convenient.
Bardsley will be known hereafter
by number between 5000 and 5000
1t may be 5000, but the classified

He is now engaged in making small
boxes. These boxes will be used to

prisoners meals.
He is given the wood and the
measurement of the box. His duty
then is to make one like the sample
He has to plane the wood, make it
into the proper length and put it to-

making small boxes, in which the
inmates of the prison can keep their

to divulge the number by which
Bardsley will be known He said ::
"Bardsley is dead to the world now.

eloquence against railways and he
studies the tariff of freights. He
passes his % per cent taxed school
house, his 25 to 35 per cent taxed
church, and his 35 to 40 per cent
taxed bridge, all partly built by his
earnings. and he is disturbed and
confused because of the high railway
taxes. That is the one tax he doesn't
love, and he concludes to read up
for broad side against railways at
the next granger gathering. He
takes up the Times-printed on 20

extra taxes by the jute trust, the steel
trust. the soap trust, the linseed oil
trust, the envelope trust, the cordage
trust, the paper bag trust, the rub
Der trust, the crockery trust, the nail
trust, the glass trust. the sugar trust,
the lead trust. the lumber trust, all
of which are the creation of high
war tariff taxes, and he smiles se7

the blessings of farmer taxes never
cease from the 30 per cent taxed

coffin and 80 per cent taxed shroud
for the grave. Such is the luxury of
the farmers tariff taxes.
