LEARN TO SwIM.-The frequent
reports of boys drowned seem to
point the moral that boys who ex-
pect ever to go near water (and no
healthy boy can be kept away from
it) should be early taught to swim.
Swimming is simple but valuable
accomplishment. 1t very frequent
~ saves life and is always source
of cheap and wholesome pleasure.
For lack of it, many parents have
been worried and disobeyed, and
many boys and men and women
have been drowned.

In CAMP ON KANAwHA-
June 20, 1891,

June 20, 1891.
Editor Register: Your correspond
ent drove down this beautiful and
fertile valley on Thursday last as
far as the residence of Gen. John
McCauslands and of the thousands
of acres under cultivation in wheat,
corn, timothy, oats, etc, all gave
promise of abundant yield, except
oats. The whole valley presented
evidences of thrift and prosperity,
and the ahorn OF plenty was visible
on very hand
After kindly greeting, the Gem
eral showed me through his spacious
and elegant dwelling, which is built
in modern style of stone, two sto-
RIGS and a basement where the fur
mace for heating the building is To-
Gated. The house is also fitted up
with water works and other mod
ern improvements, and stone milk
house al the southwest corner was
fast nearing completion, the water
for which will be led through under
ground pipeing from a never fail
ing spring of cold water located on
hill side about one. eighth of mile
distant
In field fronting his residence,
containing eighty acres, two reap
ers were harvesting wheat. The
General spent over two thousand
dollars in ditching, thing, clearing
and fertilizing this field before he
ever turned furrow in it. His
plantation embracing 1,760 acres,
has over twenty five miles of thing.
Everything is done on a grand scale,
and under his intelligent direction,
the lowlands, which were worn out
ycars,ago, are now brought up again
to the highest state of cultivation.
The tract is a part of the George
Washington ten thousand acre sur
vey, and the surveyors marks are
still visible on the trees which indi-
Gates the lines and curves.
Among the relics which carry one
back to the past, Gen. McCausland
showed me two chairs over a hun
dred years old. They are of solid
mahogany, with straight, square
posts and legs and with thin, nova
BILE cushions covered with green
leather. These chairs were once
the property of John Randolph and
were imported from England
They were bought at the Randolph
sale, by Capt. Parksdale, the grand
father of Mrs. McCausland, and
have been handed down to the
third generation.
Gen. McCausland is one of the
largest planters in the Kanawha
valley, and he gives employment to
an army of men and horses. He is
continually adding to, and improv-
ing his estate, having recently pur-
chased five hundred acre planta-
ton near by. He had over one
hundred acres in wheat this year,
and above five hundred acres in
corn, oats, timothy, etc. He is now
maturing plans for cultivating his
uplands that have heretofore been
used for pasturage only.
But tempus fugit, and this letter
has grown so long that l must de-
fer what l intended to say of other
localities in the valley and embrace
them in future communication.
Respectfully, HAL.

If a farmer living along the line
of one of our country roads should
take purchaser over them to see
his land, the road itself would re-
duce the salable value of his farm
20 per cent. A stranger, unaccus-
toned to such roads, would be afraid
to ride over them. lie would pro-
nounce them impossible. He would
think it reckless to risk his vehicle
or his horses legs in these bottom
lessqaools.
If there is any subject upon which
public sentiment in this county
needs to be aroused it is on the mat
ter of public roads No country
ever improves or develops beyond
its estimate of roadway. Its roads
are the test of its thrift and civiliza-
ton. You might as well expect the
mercury TO rise without heat as to
look for apopulation to thrive with
out good roadways. 1t has never
occurred. Itnever will. The road
way is the infallible index to the
character of any people.-Ne,o Do
miniOn.
The above is as applicable to
Mason county as it is 20 Monongalia,
or any other county in the State.
We intend to keep hammering away
at this "bad road" business, until we
get decent roads.
