Tho Boom.

There has been considerable wax
sning of public interest in our con-
munity on this subject since our last
issue, and we are glad to report that
it is decidedly liberal and friendly.
AS the promoters Of the enterprise,
perhaps the more prudently, kept
their own counsel as to its progress
during the past couple months, some
Of our people seemed to become I'M
patiept and think it was moving too
slowly.
The news in our article last week OF
q charter obtained, and the notice OF
a meeting for organization on the 14th
inst, thoroughly corrected all this,
revived dropping spirits, and gave
the project a fresh impulse for the
future, and we trust will again verify
the oft repeated experience that it is
better to go sure, even though slow.
While OF course it is quite crafty
ing to hear general expression and
from varied sources favorable to our
many natural advantages as town
for successful development, yet l. Is
not our purpose to recite or dwell on
them at present. Neither isit our de-
sire to try TO anticipate the plans OF
the company before its organization.
which will now likely be consummated
within the next couple weeks, and It's
prospectus be then issued That will
speak authoritatively for the compa'
ny. and present its policy and IN
ducements, which we will be glad 10
supplement from time to time with
such additional information and data
as we can gather, as well as keep our
people informed of its progress and
success.
In the meantime, however, there
are many items OF Improvement 10
which our people as individuals ought
to give attention. Old sheds and
shabby buildings, past use, and hence
mere eye-sores, ought to be removed.
Pavements, streets and sidewalks
ought to be repaired, especially so on
the public thoroughfares. Fences
need strengthening up, and dwellings
here and there a little work, and in
many cases if paint could be added
would greatly improve the appear
ance OF our town and contribute TO
the favorable impression OF strangers
visiting us.
Again, there are several small in
dustries that have been often dis
oussed among us, and never yet fair
ly tried They are within our reach,
and now is the time to take hold. III
YOU want to do something TO help the
boom along, don't wait on somebody
else to start these things, but put the
ball in motion and try leading once
yourself. We feel assured our people
have never been in a more willing
spirit than now TO give enterprise
hearty and liberal support. Try It,

How TO Deal with Rats.

How TO Deal with Rats.
A writer in the Scientific american
says:
We clean premises of these detestn-
BILE vermin by making whitewash yell
low with copperas and covering the
stones and rafters with it, In every
crevice in which rat may go we put
the crystals of the copperas and scat
ter in the corners of the door. The
result was a perfect stampede OF rats
and mice. Since that time not a foot
fall of either rats or mice has been
around the house. Every spring q
coat OF yellow-wash is given the eel
lar as a purifier and rat eItermina-
tor, and no typhoid, dysentery or
fever attack the family. Many per
sons deliberately attI act all the rats
in the neighborhood by leaving fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the Gel
lar. and sometimes even the soap is
left open for their regalement. Cover
up everything eatabls in the cellar
and pantry and you will starve them
out. These precautions, joined to
the service Of good cat, will prove
as good a rat e1terlninaIor as the
chemist can provide. We never al
low a rat to be poisoned in our dwell
ing. They are so apt to go between
the walls and produce much annoy
ance.

reasons for thinking it his duty to &C
cept the work OF Evangelist. Letters
were read from the congregations at
Romney and Springfield protesting
against the dissolution OF the pastoral
relation. The Presbytery then list
ened to the commissioners from these
churches, Aessrs Daley, Pancake
and Dresser, who made strong and
earnest speeches, showing the great
and good work that DR.. Finley is do
ing in Hampshire county.
Rev. r. II. Fleming Of LynchburS
was present, and presented the
reasons why the Synod's Committee
OF Evangelization elected DR.. Finley
as the first Evangelist OF the Synod
and the leader of Southwest Virginia.
After patiently considering the
whole subject Tuesday night. and
Wednesday morning and afternoon, a
vote was taken on q motion to grant
DR.. Finley's request. The vote stood
8 to 8, and the motion was declared
lost, and DR.. Finley's request was not
granted. On motion the Presbytery
adjourned at o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. DR.. Finley and Rev. f.

BLAINE oPHoBIA is a bad thing for
a newspaper. In the end, a journal
with the disease sees crooked in it's
news as we'll as talks crooked Oh its
editorial page. The entire pack has
been in full cry on a false scent and
yelping that this year the seals were
to be given over to destruction on the
ridiculous ground that a company,
which holds a contract for nine years
more of sealing, wanted to ruin the
remaining eight years for the sake Of
one year Of unrestricted slaughter.
This is rauk nonsense. The sensible
facts, clear to sensible men, all along
have been that the United States will
get a close season, will protect the
seals in it, and will obtain arbitration.
