presence.

preparations in the shape OF camp equip
age, food. rifles, ammunition, and dogs made.
Four officers, servant, two sailors to pull the
boat, and two dogs, composed the party. They
one bright morning embarked and set sail.
It is some II miles from Sitka in a direct
line, but they proposed to mako the circuit Of
the western side, and while doing so TO have a
day of duck shooting, arriving at the camp
ground late in the afternoon. The following
day they were to ascend the mountain, and
upon the third day seek for bear.
The wind was fair, and, throwing up clouds
Of spray from the leo bow, the hunters made a
fine start. The sun was bright, and all nature
seemed to smile. The party was full Of life
and enthusiasm, and numerous stories Of bear
hunts and wonderful shots were related. Each
one prOPhesied how neatly he could

halts took place, and several ducks were
bagged; so that IL was well into the afternoon
when they arrived at the small stream whence
the rough trail led up Mount EdgewoOd.
The debarkatiOn was successfully made,
though rough surf made il a wet job After
ward the two sailors took the boat of short
distance, anchored it, and remained in it over
night. The tent was pitched and fire lighted,
near which the party proceeded to dry their
clothes, while the servant opened out the boxes
Of provisions and made ready to cook the even
ing meal.
The location Of the camp was lovely, the
shore slOping down TO the rocky beach. A little
cascade just hidden among the trees sent out q

EIkton. Virginia.

We spent a few hours very pleas
antly at Elkton, Va, last week. DIR.
S. P. H. Miller, the courteous and eff
ficient President of the EIkton I'm
proyement Company, kindly brought
his buggy and fine span of horses and
gave us drive to the Elkton Lithia
Springs and over the town and sur
roundings. Elkton is beautifully To-
Gated in the richest section of cast
Rockingham, and is destined, we
doubt not, to become place of con-
siderable Importance. Ithas already
a number of industries, including a
cutlery establishment, fine roller mill
of large capacity, machine shops and
engine works, large planning mill,
wagon and buggy factory, bark mill
and stave factory, large steam tan
merry, canning establishment, &c
DIR. Miller presented us knife turned
out from the cutlery establishment.
II is an elegant piece of work, and
speaks we'll for Virginia manufacture
ing industry. " The EIkton" is a
model hotel, which for comfort and
convenience is hard to beat, and has
been well filled with guests all sum-
mer. The town has a number of
comely new buildings, including i'm
posing and substantial bank, store
and other structures. The principal
avenue skirts along beautiful strip
of rising ground, overlooking the
river and rich meadow lands on the
west, with an unobstructed view of
the Massanutton and North mountains
on the one hand, and the Blue Ridge
on the other, and is one of the most
delightful driveways imaginable. The
Lithia Springs Company furnishes
the town pure lithia water, which is
supplied by natural flow to the hotel
and most of the houses in the place.
A new railroad will probably intersect
the N. & W. at this point in the not
distant future. Altogether, Elkton,
we believe, has bright prospects
ahead, and to no man will it owe so
much as to DR.. S. p. II. Miller, the
worthy president of its Improvement
Company.

West Yirginia's share of the amount
appropriated by Congress to refund
to the various States the direct war
tax collected from them will not be
paid. Governor Fleming is in re-
ceipt of letter from the Treasury
Department informing him of the de-
cision of that Department that the
amount appropriated should not be
paid but should be retained as set
off against the amount alleged to be
due the government by this State as
part of the old Virginia debt. In
1869, when Republican governor
was at the helm in West Virginia, the
same set-off was disallowed, and
money due this State was paid. A
Democratic administration in West
Virginia, however, is not treated with
the same Difference, and the people
of the State are by the Harrison ad-
ministration thereby deprived Of over
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars which should now be in their
treasury. They will remember this
ut the polls next year.

A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun, discussing the speaker
ship, says:
In regard to the dark horses in the
race for the speakership, Mr.. Wilson,
of West Virginia, is thought by his
friends to he in most favorable con-
dition. He has everything in his IA
vor and nothing against him. The
great Pennsylvania Democrat, Hon.
Samuel j. Randall, who has gone to
his last home, had this to say of him
in writing under date of January 20,
1887: /" Wilson was very valuable
man on the appropriation committee.
/ do not know whether his appoint
ment to ways and means is his own
wish or not. Be that as it may, /
am sorry to lose him. In my judg-
ment he is the clearest-headed man,
with one exception, that West Vir-
ginia has sent to the House. Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. McAdoo, of New
Jersey, are two men who have use
full career before them"

Catarrh, Not Local, But Consti-
tutional.

Dr. Dio Lewis. the eminent Boston ply
stefan, in magazine article says: " A radical
error uuderlics nearly all medical treatment of
catarrh. 1t Is not disease of the mans nose;
1t is q disease of the man, showing itself in the
nose-a Local exhibition of a Constitutional
trouble" Therefore, he argues. the use of
snuff and other local applicationsis wrong. and
while they seem to give temporary relief, they
really do more harm than good. Other lead
ing authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence.
the only proper method of cure for catarrh is
by taking constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla. which. reaching every part of the
body through the blood, docs eliminate all i'm
purities and makes the whole man healthier.
1t removes the cause of the trouble and re-
stores the diseased membrane to proper condi-
ton. That this is the practical result is proven
by thousands of people who have been cured
of catarrh by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The Next State Convention.

Charles Town desires the distin-
guished honor of having the next
Democratic State Convention held
here. With the completion of the
commodious and elegant Hotel Pow
hatan and the accommodations af-
forded by our other hotels and nu-
merous private boarding houses, we
will have no difficulty in taking care
of delegates and visitors, and will
guarantee suitable place of meeting
for the sessions of the convention.
We have never asked for or had a
State convention here, and we now
think it should be accorded us with
out hesitation. The last convention
held in this section of the State was
at Martinsburg. Since then conven-
tions have been held at Wheeling
Huntington, Charleston and Grafton.
1t is therefore about time one should
come east again, and no county de.
serves it more than Jefferson--this
being one of the strongest and most
reliable Democratic counties in the
State. Our locality is one of the
most easily accessible from all parts
of the State, and our people will give
the Democratic State Convention 3
cordial welcome. Let Charles Town
have the next convention.

TREES AROUND THE CEMETERY.-
Mr.. Chas b. Rouss has again shown
his high esteem and regard for the
place of interment of the beloved and
revered dead of this city by author
izing the cemetery authorities to
place trees around the same, inside
the iron fence which will soon be
erected, and send the bill to him for
payment. 1t was well timed in our
friend TO think, amidst the cares of
business and every day life, of this
act. The trees will certainly beautify
and adorn in few years this sacred
spot. Winchester Times.
