and silk, made in princess style, with
hat to match, and carried bouquet

Moroan's Grove.

Aorgan's Grove.
The directors Of Morgan's Grove AS
ISOLATION have issued an address to
the stockholders, calling upon them
to take part in special effort to
make the coming exhibition surpass
in every particular any previous fair
held since the organization has been
in existence. In order that we may
more fully impress upon the commu-
nifty the necessity of every citizen
working for the success OF the coming
fair we would say that although the
last exhibition surpassed any, formerly
held, yet the live stock and poultry
departments were far short OF what
they should have been.
We know that very many farmers
think it hardly worth the trouble to
take stock to the fair, but we are sure
if it paws merchants to advertise their
wares, if it pays machinery men to
advertise their business, it will pay
any farmer to let the public know
that he keeps good stock upon his
farm. Buyers in coming into our
community ID purchase horses or
other stock are always directed first
to those men who keep stock that is
worth exhibiting at the fairs.
There is no doubt that Jefferson and
Berkeley counties and Washington
county can turn out as good a display
of stock as any other section OF the
country. These three counties, In
two different States, almost join each
other at Morgan's Grove. We there
fore appeal not only to the farmers OF
Jefferson and Berkeley, but to the
farmers of our neighboring county in
MARYLAND, who have in recent years
shown so much interest in breeding
fine horses, as we'll as other live stock,
to take renewed interest in our fair,
and to see that every stall in the stock
department is filled. If you have a
good animal of any kind, bring it to
the fair and show it. Don't leave it at
home and then come to the fair and
disgust your friends by telling them
YOU have colt or a COW at home that
would beat anything on the ground,
but YOU wouldn't take the trouble to
bring it.
The directors and officers of Morgans
Grove can make all preparation in
their power for good fair, but 1t de-
ponds upon the superintendent OF the
various departments and the public
generally to bring stock, poultry and
agricultural products, as well as all
other exhibits, and thus see that each
department is full and that the fair Is
made u success.

County Superintendent.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: In your last IS
sue there appeared an article headed
"County Superintendent" and signed
Mrs. Milo Camp, in which Mrs. Camp
asserts that in conversation held IN
her presence | made the statement
that the term of school opening Oct.
10. 1891, in the town of Scott, Dist,
No. 10, and taught by me, was my
first term of school. With due re-
spect to Mrs. Camps record for truth
and veracity, and her very Jealous eff
forts in behalf of her friend Macin-
tosh, l am compelled to say that no
such statement was made by me, and
Mrs. Camp is positively mistaken. As
to the article in your paper of two
weeks since signed Kate" | cannot
see wherein Mr.. Macintosh's character
and its virgin purity has been assaulted
and deem it wholly unnecessary on
nv part to take up the discussion on
the part of Kate" as think from
the tone of her letter that she is able
to defend herself against the sings
and arrows of her enemies"
Very respectfully,
j, S. WELCH.

A few years ago the question was
asked docs nobility still exist in
Switzerland" And no one was able to
answer it. Of all the thousand of Eng
lish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels in
summer not one, it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach whose equestrian statue they
must have seen, has any living descen-
dants; not one had ever heard Of the
Barnese nobility-a noblesse which holds
itself SO high that it thinks but slightly
Of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura to the Lugano there is hardly a
canton-there is perhaps no canton
in which noble families are not to be
found.
Some of these, such as the Plantas
and the Buols Of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chan
nels and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Sellers, out of the Eng
lish and the American tourists. Others,
like the Won Allmen, have sunk into q
humber rank. But the greater part re-
main in statu quo, still enjoying in the
towns or in the country social pres
tige that varies with their wealth and
their intelligence.-Temple Bar.

The Democrats have very curious
fallacy by which they seek to prove
that the protective tariff is being con-
stantly increased. 1t is by the per
cent" method. If an article which
sells at SO bears tariff of 50 the rate
is 20 per cent. If, under the stimulus
of this tariff, home factories spring up
and competition between them results
in reduction of the selling price to IS
the tariff rate is then p per cent, al
though the tariff has not been changed
at all. When the selling price gets
down to S. the tariff per cent is 33a a
although the amount is still the same
as the first, and when the selling price
gets down to 81 the per cent is so. All
this time the Democratic editor insists
that the public is getting worse off,
and the public wonders how that can
be when it is paying less and less for
the goods. That is the way the tariff
''per cent" has been increased, and the
Democratic stump speakers are "work-
ing it for all it is worth" although they
know the facts are against them, even
if some of their hearers don't under
stand it.
