Prof, Atkeson an Author.

Prof. T. C. Atkeson, of this place
is the author of Bookkeeping for
Farmers" a comprehensive treatise
on farm accounts, which has just
been published by the Orange Judd
Company. The book contains all the
suggestions, plane and rules for a
thorough system of all manner of
farm accounts, and shows that it is
as necessary for farmer to do "of-
flee work" as for a man in any other
business. 1t is work that will be
appreciated by every farmer who is
so fortunate as to secure copy.
Farming, like everything else, will
not pay unless every detail of the
business is carefully looked after
Prof. Atkeson's book is guide To
the looking after these details. The
method outlined by him is entirely
an original one and one that farmers
would readily understand. Prof At
keson, in his book, has supplied "a
long felt want"

Again Visited by Death.

On Tuesday the infant child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Google died at
the home of its parents in Rivesville
This is the family we reported last
week as having had four children to
die with diphtheria within the month
of November. The little one was bur.
led on Wednesday along side its
brothers and sisters. Five newly
made graves to visit and cover with
tokens of love. The eldest and only
child left, daughter, who is also
sick with the same disease is slowly
improving, and it is thought will
soon be well. Twill be dreary
Christmas time for Mr.. and Mrs
Google and their daughter. How
thankful all should be who have not
been afflicted in this manner, but not
so happy that we should forget those
who are afflicted. Again the sym.
patty of all goes out to Mr.. and Mrs
Google in their unbearable distress

Not Yet, But Some Time,

An item has gone the rounds of
the press that the B. a. O. would
take charge of the w. Va. q P. r. r
Co. the first of December. Senator
Camden is reported as saying in ref
erence to it, you can say that. this
is mistake, as no such deal has
ever taken place, nor is it likely to
in the future | do not know how
this item arose unless it be from
some negotiations pending some
time ago between the B. d o. and
the w. Va. d p. road, wherein the
former was figuring to control the
operations, allowing me to retain the
management as before, but it never
came to a head. shall likely re-
linqnish to the B, d o. both the
operation and management at some
future time.

Thrown from Her Horse.

The following from the Fairmont
index tells of an accident to very
estimable lady of this county:
"On Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. c.
L. Shuman, of McCurdysville, came
to town horseback on shopping trip
They got through shopping about
one o'clock and started home When
near Kerr's restaurant the horses be
came frightened at the show band
which was playing at Reinheimer's
corner, and reared and plunged
frightfully. Mr.. Shuman jumped
from his horse, but Mrs. Shumar
was thrown to the muddy street, re-
ceiving but slight bruises, we are
glad to report. 1t was very narrow
escape for Mrs. s., for while lying or
the street, the horse jumped and
kicked and it seemed that the lady
was being seriously injured. The
horse that Mr.. S. rode was caught
and the parties were soon again or
their journey home"

Chestnut Tactics.
To the editor of the New DOMINION

L u Tile SditOf Oh the NEW DOMINION.
There was time when the tactics
of the Post were not so well known.
In that time ferevcc past and gone a
counterfeit correspondence probably
would not have been detected. Any.
how the late Mr.. Hoffman was wor
thy foeman and was square in his
political dealings. But in these times
the scheme of the present editor OF
that paper to create dissention in our
ranks won't work. He has been caught
up once too often in his bogus cor
respondence, which he writes him
self, but for some peculiar reason
will not let bold opinion have a
place as regular editorial matter.
Keep on with the good work for Mr..
Moreland. He does not object. The
ruse of the disgruntled Post is too old
to be believed in.

The following from the Waynes-

interest by all of Mr.. Martins old
friends here. His recovery has been
almost miraculous. The paper says:
"We are pleased to state that our
friend Chas. A. Martin, who fell from

his back, is improving. The fracture

A Thirst for knowledge Satisfied.

A correspondent, with soul to
save and chirograply somewhat after
the fashion of Egyptian hireoglyph
les, says: "Some of the boys say
that they are using the court house,
and | knowed you knowed whether
they was or not, so have went and
wrote to ask if it's So"
In reply we can say that the sub
scription price of this paper is 81 so
per annum payable in advance. II
you have not the money, try and
raise it. We claim to do what has
never been done by competitor in
the county--print the news. FrrtheT-
more, the court house was built to
use. IT. is somewhat ornamental,
it is true, but is far more Useful.
Another thing that may interest you
is that all trains stop at this station,
bu- they have good reasons for do
ing SO. You needn't stop to inquire
what they are. There are also
schools and mud in this town and
they are used. We have fiddler
and blacksmith shop and are get
ting along nicely.

The State Line Railroad.

The Connellsville Courier says:
The State Line railroad will be
formally opened To Smithficld next
Monday. The schedule and all the
preliminary arrangements are being
made this week. The schedule, it is
said, will provide for the running of
three trains daily each way over the
new road. The trains to make the
runs to the present terminal of the
road will probably be Trains Nos. /,
5 and 81. The first will leave Smith
field early in the morning. the second
shortly after noon and the third
about 5 o'clock in the evening. AS
yet no steps have been taken toward
the erection Of depot at Snsithfield,
but platforms have been put down at
all stopping points along the new
road The road is said to be in an
excellent condition, and its opening
will be hailed with delight by the
people of the southern end of the
county. Work on the other end Of
the road is progressing rapidly, but
it is not likely that trains can be run
through to Morgantown before next
I fall.
