Food Report.
Royal Baking Powder Co.,
log Wall St.. n. 2.
We wish we could say something
that would induce our farmers not
to dispose of their stock at such a
sacrifice as many of them have al
ready done. 1t is true the outlook
for feed is discouraging, yet with
the surplus of old corn, and what
the present crop may produce, and
by importing a little hay and using
the abundant crop of straw and
chop, the farmers ought to be able
to retain their stock and have it to
realize on next year. Otherwise
when next year comes, many of the
farmers will have to buy, and al
high prices. We do think the farm
ers are not acting wisely in dispos
ing of their stock at such sacrifices,
and they should no; be scared by
the stringency of the times, drought
and present low prices. Let all
hope for better times. 1t is half the
battle of life to keep up courage and
have faith in our fellowmen, and
the business of the future.
Keep your eye on the nowspa
per, says an exchange, and see
which of the merchants want your
custom and are sufficiently courte-
Gus to invite you to call. There is
much more in advertising than you
think 1t is not only to tell OF his
goods that man advertises, but is
to invite the people who read-the
thinking, the inteIligent-to pay
him visit, and judge for them
selves as to the quality and price
of what he offers for sale. People
read the advertisements. Don't
make any mistake about that.
They are just as much interested
in knowing where to buy to an
advantage as the advertiser is in
selling his goods.
At midnight Saturday night the
Ohio River Railroad Company cea-
sed to run trains into the city of
Huntington. Guyandotte will be
the terminus hereafter. The act
ion was taken because of the large
number of suits brought against
the company by property owners
along its route through Huntington,
the aggregate of which amount to
over $4,000. This will be a hard
blow to the business interests of the
second city" 1t pays to deal lib
orally with railroads.
Two Baptist Ministers down in
Wayne county last week, engaged
in a SANITY" smuggling match
Loud and Iusty cuss words were IL
duIged, and then they went for
each others wigs after the most ap-
proved tactics of the arena. It is
said that after the curtain dropped
they received more pointed and
practical ideas on the efficacy of i'm
mersion than ever before. Strange
wha: effect cold water will produce
upon some people.
The K. & NJ. Railway has arrang-
ed for an excursion from this place
on Sept. IL, 1893, to Kanawha Falls.
Train leaves Junction Depot at G;25
A. NJ, and will arrive at Kanawha
Falls in time for early dinner.
This will be a desirable trip in
every respect, and TO those who
have never heard the ripping
and numbering waters as they
pour over % feet of solid rock, will
be a means of pleasure and JOY.
1t is extremely needed that the
town council take the pruning knife
and cut off the branches of trees
that overlap our side walks, and
awnings that hang so low that they
would knock baby's cap off. 1t is
strange that this matter has been
neglected SO long in the midst of
innumerable complaint. Main
street is Pre-eminently the prone
made street of the town, and should
be made pleasant therefor in all
respects.
