KIND TREArMENr-The Marietta

ing the body of George Dow found
at Letart, W. Va, an account of
which we published before. Capt,
krigbaum, who went for George
Dow received the kindest treatment
at Letart. d. w. Gist, postmaster,
to whom word was sent, was especi-
ally accommodating aad attentive
The body was found by SIR Black,
who would not consider the matter
of accepting any reward. The
authorities had reclothed and given
the body n respectable burial and
turned over to the county authori-
ties articles of value found upon it
The steamer Knox came soon after
Mr.. krigbaum' arrival but in the
spirit shown by all Capt. Varian,
waited an hour to bring the body
and then made no charge for bring
ing the remains, or for the passage
of Capt. Krigbaum. The good
people of Letart, who assisted him
and furnished a team were only
glad to make this little sacrifice in
the spirit Ofsympathy which brings
communities closer together at such
times"

Wool buyers are now in the
county, and they are not paying the
price they should for it, if the East
ern markets are any criterian to go
by. AT any rate, if you do sell, sell
to your own home buyers, and not
to foreign buyers. Our advice is,
however, to hold your wool for
awhile. Don't be in too great u
hurry to sell it. II more farmers
would appreciate the county papers
by subscribing to and paying for
them, they would not be picked ups so
often by sharpers.

RIVER News. -Pilot Napoleon
Jenkins, of Louisville, is dead. He
was the one man who knew whose
mistake caused the terrible collision
in 1868 between the two great side
wheel steamers, United States and
America, which caused the death
of seventy five people. He died
with the secret in his breast.

we reported last week, Riser got his
leg broken, while at work on the
boat, and as he was not in very
good circumstances the crew came
to his assistance by each man donat-
ing to him one days work, or in
other words, each man sent his
family the goods, to the amount of
his wages. When all the goods
consisting of provisions etc were
collected together filed an average
sized wagon.-MiddtepOrt Herald.

We don't want to be understood
as being opposed to the preservation
of good order and discipline in our
town, and what we say in this short
local, is not to be construed in that
light. 1t seems to us, however,
that our police officer is little too
rigid in his ideas of keeping order
in the town. The arrest of the men
Sunday, who came here on an ex-
cursion from Raymond City, is a
case in point, and from all we can
learn, after an investigation of the
matter, was uncalled for and not
justified by the facts. 1t is true,
they may have been under the in
fluence of liquor, but they were at
tending to their own business, and
were not disorderly or annoying
any one, and to arrest them and
place them in Jail, and fine them SO
heavily, was a wrong that is con-
demned by all good citizens.
1t has gotten to be so of late that
people are afraid to come 10 this
town for fear of being arrested, and
trade that ought to come here is
driven to other towns that are more
liberal in their police regulations.
1t is time to curb your policeman,
Mr.. Mayor, or else build a fence
around the town and wind up it's
affairs. Why strangers should be
bounded and prosecuted and our
own people, who are equally
guilty of doing wrong, are permit
ted to go free, is something we can
not understand.
This article is written as an ap-
peal for fairness and justice to all;
but if we have to refer to this mat
ter again, we shall do SO without
gloves, and give some of the reasons
that lead to the arrest of these
people.
