Practical Men Wanted.

In these grasping times Of push, en-
terprise, Developments and material al,
yancement in every respect, men ought
to be selected for State and Nationa.
legislation up with the times, in Dracti
cal views and opinions, and not mere
politicians. What the country wants is
wise laws adapted to the growing inter
ests OF the nation, and not schenine
manipula1ors, whose highest ambition
is to get there and take IN the salaries.
A man may be q. good legislator and al
the same time be no novice in politics.
But to select 8 man for q seat IN the
National or State Legislature, merely
because he is a shrewd politician, and
calls himself Democrat, first, last
and all the time or q Republican with
out guile and always true to his party,
is trifling with public interests. In this
practical age we want practical men.
Party-services ought not to weigh q
feather in the choice Of men to make
laws and formulate policies. 1t IS to
this kind OF infatuation that is due all
the laws Of which the people have
right to complain. Give us common
sense men for the State General Assem-
bly, and for Congress. and not mere the
orists and abstractionists, or blatant
demagogues who care for nothing but
the emoluments Of office.

Montgomery Presbvterv

The meeting of Montgomery Presby-
Bluefield, W. Va, last week, was a very
interesting one. There were about thir-
ty delegates in attendance. Capt. R. B.
Moornan, an elder from Roanoke, was
elected Moderator and presided over the
deliberations. Entertaining addresses
in the interest of foreign missions were
made by Rev H NJ Woods, missionary
to China. Addresses were also made on
the observance of the Sabbath. Reports
on these subjects, Were presented by
Rev E. W McCorkle, of Clifton Forge.
Mr.. P. M. McCorkle, an elder III the
1st Presbyterian church, of Lynchburg,
was licensed to preach, and placed in
charge OF the Bird Presbyterian church
in that city.
Rev. T. P. Barklay, was received from
the Presbytery of Fayetteville, in N. c.
and given permission to work as ar
evangelist in this Presbytery.
Rev p C. Clarke was given leave to
supply the church at Glen Wilton, il
connection with Fincastle
A very interesting meeting was held
in the int crest Of Foreign Missions. This
meeting was addressed by Rev. II. NJ
Woods, Missionary from China. This
Presbytery now has eight missionaries
in foreign fields. It has the distinction
also. of having sent forth the first regu
larly licensed female medical missionar,
viz Miss Annie Houston, from New
Castle.
The next meeting OF this body will be
held at New Castle, Craig county.

A Forlorn Hope.

We heard runloI on the streets the other Gay
shops Of Clifton Forge would be moved to this

become q fact. That the Railroad Company
mean something good for Hinton, is evidenced
by the fact that continued and valued improve
ments are being made here. new depot, new
ing OF side tracks certainly mean something
Hinton Herald =
We think we can vouch for the fact
that the above is only ii rumor. We are
not the spokesman for the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad company, but there is
about as greatprobabiiity of this change
as there is OF the removal of the United
States capital to Hinton. We do not
notice the above because we attach any
Importance to it whatever. but merely
to prevent the impression that any such
idea is entertained from being norated
abroad. We trust that it is the purpose
of the railroad company to help Hinton
in building up q town; but that town
will have to rely upon something more
tangible than the above runor before it
makes much progress. There is way
to make Hinton a town, but it will not
be at Clifton FORCES expense.

A Novel Warrant.

On Wednesday, of last week a warrant
was sworn out before Justice Thomas
son, of this place, for the arrest of the
Mayor of Iron Gate, on the charge of his
having improperly taken watch from
a youth whom he had fined for miscon-
duct. He (the mayor was arrested and
brought before the above named JUS
tice. The evidence was to the effect the
youth had been fined for the violation
of some ordinance OF the town, but did
not have the money to pay it. Security
was offered him by a prominent citizen
of the town whom the mayor said he
would accept. but the youth said he pre-
fered to turn over his watch as collate-
raj, which was accepted. His father,
upon learning the facts, swore out the
warrant Justice Thomasson said he
had no jurisdiction on the matter, and
dismissed the case

been commenced upon it under the su-

the wire arrives in time it will be com

The Markets.

The grain market continues firm at
slightly reduced quotations. There are
about 100000 bushels of wheat being
mand is still steady and persistent. The
condition Of the crops and the needs of
the people are such in the old country
that there is no doubt that all our sur
plus breadstuffs will be taken at fair
prices. The money market is easy in
the centers of trade. Large quantities
of gold are coming in, and will continue
to come, as long as the balance Of trade
is largely on our side. Iron is strong
and advancing in price. The railroads
are doing an enormous business, and
because of this earning, stocks and
bonds are in better conditions and more
readily taken than for several years
past.
