ABOUT People WE ALL KNOW.
ATTORNEY w. S. Wiley, of New M

| Attorney w. S. Wiley, of New Mar
tinsville, was in the city yesterday lie
reports that the fine weather of the
past week has been of inestimabe
value to the farmers in his section.
| They have about finished harvesting all
along the bottoms in Marshall, WetzeI
and Tyler, and are more than half
through on the hills. The wheat crop
in Wetzel will be larger than ordinary,
and of an excellent quality.
Prof. Hook, who is in charge of the
drawing department of the Manual
Training School at Charlotte, n. c., is
visiting relatives in this city. Mr..
Hook thinks Wheeling will never keep
abreast of the growing, progressive
cities until she has manual training
school. 1t is the one vital thing in
which she is lacking to aid and pro-
mote her prosperity. As it is now every
industrious ambitious boy and girl who
have originality and genius in their
make up must migrate TO other aud fav-
ored cities, TO prepare themselves to
battle successfully with the world
Once they leave the city of their birth,
their affection for it is alienated;
they form new acquaintance and aSsoci-
ations and the result is that what is
Wheeling's irreparable loss Is valua-
BILE gain TO their adopted town. They
make valuable citizens, by their push
and energy, and by imparting new and
practical knowledge to the business or
industry in which they become inter-
eSted.
Hon. w. X. Pendleton, formerly the
able President of Bethany College, is
spending few weeks visiting relatives
in Bethany and this city. Several years
ago Mr.. Pendleton took up his residence
on the Peninsula of Florida for his
health, which at that time was quite
delicate. He has become so enamored
with the country and the climate that
he has invested largely in lands and
beautiful home among the stalwart
pines of the State oil oranges ard other
tropical fruits. To hear this venerable
but well preserved gentleman describe
in his inimitable way the attractions of
this new country, so TO speak, and it's
SalubriouS climate, is enough to
make one, regardless of consequences,
pack up forthwith and HE himself
to that invigorating section. Mr.. Pen
dleton is located at point near EuStis,
about one hundred and fifteen miles
from the eaSternmoSt point of the
State, and midway between the Atlantic
on the north and the Gulf on the south,
so that when the tonic laden breezes OF
the one are not waited over his favored
home the other is. The atmosphere is
heavily surcharged with ozone, and by
virtue of the sandy soil the heavy
moisture of the sea is absorbed suf-
ficiently to make it delightfully."- dry,
hence these qualities, together with the
even mildness, makes the climate about
perfect. Last February he was feasting
on strawberries and early vegetables.
Florida, he says, is destined to be the
great truck State Of the South. Rail-
roads are gridironing Florida in all di-
rectionS, so that fruits and vegetables |
can reach the great cities of the north
in 36 to As hours after shipment. AL
most anything can be raised there ex-
cept the cereals, and even they can be
raised by the aid of irrigation, which |
at no distant day, Mr.. Pendleton thinks,
will be in successful operation.
