the Tucker Democrat is a goner and

case of hydrophobia on record and

We have rec wed a letter from a
citizen Of GAINESVILLE, who wants
the ARGUS, and from the letter we
extract the following;

This matches the letter the Jour-

About three years ago his wife was
taken away by death, which no

slant grief to weigh on his mind.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The Farmers Institute held in
kingwood last Thursday and Fri
day was not the success it should
have been, as the attendance was
small, and the very ones intended to
be benefited most by it, the farm
ers, were conspicuous by their ab-
sence. Thursday was fine dlv for
work and they were probably busy
making ready for the spring plow-
ing. Friday the weather was bad
and number of the horny handed
tillers of the soil were here, but the
attendance was small till Friday
night, when the people seemed to
find out what a good thing it was,
and the Court House was crowded.
Prof. Hopkins and Col. Dan John
son, OF the Experiment Station at
Morgantown, entertained the audi
ence, the former with lecture on
"lnsects," illustrated by magic lam
tern pictures, and the latter gave
an eloquent address on CLONE
Adornment." DR.. John A. Myers
was also here and gave several in
teresting talks during the day SEES

that tho Maine delegates to Mime apolis be

heard that such message was sent. and these

1t is we'll understood that Mr.. Manlev dssIrsd
