How the Summer Goes at Blue
Ridge.

BLUE RIDGE SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 8.
Especial The pleasure ono has at
tho springs depends in a great measure
upon ono's self: if we go to place in
summer expecting to have q gay time,
we must leave behind US "long as tho
moral law" faco and listless, disin Ter
estered manner, and bestir ourselves to
give pleasure to others, for only in this
way can pleasure be ours. a law is not
law that will not act both ways, and
giving pleasure reacts in such a way
that the pleasure rebounds to the giver.
There is nothing more tiresome than for
crowd Of people to sit around all day
long, indulRing in no moro exciting
dissipation than simply looking at each
other. Some one must take tho initia-
tive and then others will follow such
lead
Bowling parties and germans, card
parties and forfeit parties have each
In turn been tried, and the last ono is
always considered the best. This was
very true in regard to the very enjoy able
forfeit" party given here on Wednesday
morning by MISSES Dorsey, of Washing.
ton, and Anne Brugh, Of Hagerstown
About fifty people wero present. and
the paying of the forfeits furnished the
chief element of amusement. Tho reci-
tatlons on that occasion by Misses A.
friend and Perkins, Of Richmond, and
Miss Lizzie Johnson, of Atlanta, touched
on the pathetic as we'll as the comic side
OF life, and the brilliant music furnished
by Misses Brugh, Dorsey, Alfriend,
Blair, Shepard and DIR. Nolen, of Balti-
moro, furnished another very attractive
feature to this pleasant entertainments
After all of the forfcits had boon paid
the party adjourned to tho lawn, whore
they enjoyed most spmptuous fruit re-
past. On Thursday night party of
young people from hcre went to Coy
ner's Springs to german. The party
was chaperoned by Mrs. John Armi-
stead, Of Petersburg. On Friday night

about fifteen couples.
This morning Mrs. w. Il. Shepard, of

THE YOUNG THIEVES DISCHARGED.

Kaxors Ordered to Leave Town.
William Henry Ferguson and Della

radoes who were charged with stealing
S05 worth Of pistols and razors, were
given q hearing before Justice Hover.
ton yesterday afternoon. The result Of
the hearing was the discharge of the
boys on condition that they leave town
immediately.
The boys are about ten years OF age.
They were arrested in Vinton about
two weeks ago for trying to cut another
boys throat. They were searched by
tho Vinton officer and six pistols and
eight razors found. On the night of the
29d of July the hardware store OF
Browne, Johnston & Co. was entered by
small rear window and a lot of pistols
and razors were taken.
At the examination yesterday the
boys were represented by Lawyer Oliver
and Officer Schancks conducted the
prosecution. Witnesses were intro
duced, who testified to the finding Of
the goods in the possession Of the boys.
Mr.. Bowdy, of the firm of Brown,
Johnson e Co., identified some of the
razors and said all ,he goods were OF
the same make rs the goods he carried,
but would not swear that they were his
property.
Officer Schancks testified that one of
the boys had confessed to him, but
counsel for the defense objected to this
being taken as testimony on account
that the boys were not competent to
testify on account Of their age.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Lawyer Oliver advanced the theory
that'thc boys were the instruments OF
some older person or persons and asked
that they be discharged and ordered to
leave the city.
Officer Schancks thought it was an
outrage to turn the boys loose, but JUS
tico Howcrton informed the officer that
his opinion would have no influence on
the decision OF the court, and asked the
officer to say no more. The justice was
little exasperated and spoke in 10
uncertain tone. Mr.. Schancks was not
heard from afterwards.
She court asked the boys il they
would Immediately 60 down Campbell
street, on to Vinton. and past Bonsacks
before shutdown If allowed to 60. All
this they promised to do and they were
told to go.

Everybody Is Interested in It.

No paper can be published without
home patronage, and every man is inter-
ested in keeping up home paper. If a
railroad or factory is wanted, the news
paper is expected to work for it. If a
public meeting is wanted for any pur-
pose, the newspaper is called upon for a
free notice. If any Of the societies have
a supper or reception of any kind, the
newspaper is expected to give the neces-
sary notice. The newspaper must puff
the schools and everything else to ad-
vance the interests of the business men
of the place, and then give them hand
some notice when they pass away. And
yet some of them do nothing to keep up
home paper.-Gladstone (Mich.) Ex-

Pay the Printer Promptly.

Persons who patronize papers should
pay promptly, for the pecuniary pros
poets of the press have a peculiar power
in pushing forward public prosperity.
If the printer is paid promptly, and his
pocketbook kept plethoric by prompt pay
ing patrons, he puts his pen to his paper
in peace, his paragraphs are more pointed;
he paints his pictures of passing events in
more pleasing colors, and the perusal of
his paper is a pleasure to the people.
Please paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all per-
SONS can perceive it.-Exchange.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, subscribes
for every paper published in that state.
He also takes all the leading New York
papers, several from Chicago, one from
Philadelphia and other large cities. In
speaking of newspapers the senator says:
l believe in the local newspapers.
They are the leaders, the makers of pub
lie sentiment. They are nearer to the
people than any other papers. Their
editors mingle with the people, and con-
sciously or unconsciously reflect the
views of their readers.
By my private letters from all parts Of
the state, and by reading the local pa
pers, can tell just what the people of
Kansas are thinking and talking about.
can feel the pulse of the people and
take their temperature. l am amazed,
too, at the excellence of our county
papers. The majority of them are care
fully and ably edited. They not only
print the news of their neighborhood,
but have opinions which find it worth
my while to read and reflect upon. l
get no better return for any of the
money which 1 spend than for that
which pay out for the local newspa-
pers of my state.

WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE
And Imagine Vain Thing About
the Newspapers?

Anu Imagine n Vain Thing About
the Newspapers?
The heather rage agaimt the newspa-
per for almost all conceivable reasons
and no reasons-because they don't like
to be published into notoriety, because
they don't wish to have others learn GER
tain things about themselves, because
their friends have been unpleasantly no
ticed, because the paper has published
what they did not wish it to publish,
and because it has not published that
which they asked it to print. Almost
always because of some point which af-
fects their own self interest or SELFISH
ness do the heathen rage; and here and
there is one who RACES ON general prin-
ciples" and utters his fiat abolishing the
whole institution, taking pains, next
day, to secure extra copies containing
his anathema for himself and his friends.
1t Is safe to state that there is not sim
gle issue of newspaper in print which
does not contain something somewhere
at which some heather RACES in spirit.
But putting aside all these causes for
displeasure on the part Of the heather,
let me state one particular circumstance,
and this is really the chief reason why
the heather rage so much and so unrea-
sonably at the daily press. The circum-
stance is this: The fault finder, the car
per, the would be censor of the press,
very rarely asks himself these questions:
SIS this rightY' "Isit justg' "Is it a fair
statement He never seems TO recol-
lect that in reputable journalism the
first law, the guiding rule of an honora-
BILE editor is the simple one of sound
sense and exact justice; and it is because
they do not consider this point that the
heather rage so much more than is nee
essary, and often make asses of them
selves when they might pose as wise
counselors. In fine, then, the heather
rage because they cannot see that in
reputable journalism justice and com
mon sense rule the editor; not malice,
spite and prejudice.
Remember this: Wrongdoers are more
fearful of the press than of law, justice
80 called, or punishment. You can hire
a lawyer; buy jury; judges never tell
tales out of court; doctors keep their own
counsel, and scandal by word of mouth
travels but brief space; but the press
cannot be frightened, bought, or forced
into silence. Big sinners-and they are
the hardest to catch-fear the exposures
of the press more than they dread the
pangs of the law or the pricks of con-
science.
Don't growl if your paper today
doesn't suit you. You are getting for a
couple of cents that which cost much
more than you paid for it, and the ad-
vertiser, whom you scorn, is paying for
your reading matter. This is fact
