From the Tunes:

From the Times:
Mr.. John Willett, of Sterling, Ill.,,
is on a visit to his parents, near this
place.
Mr. E. P. Hutton has been suffer.
ing with a very sore arm. but it is
improving.
The biggest hog of the neishbor
hood, this season, was killed by Mr..
d. D. Coils, and weighed $50 lbs.
Miss Maude Gordon has returned
from Hedgesville. She was accom-
panied by Miss Essie Martin, of Mis-
soari.
Mr. Cyrus Fl. Herbert, who has
been at Columbus, O., for treatment
of his eyes, returned home last week
somewhat improved.
The accommodating mail messen-
ger between here and Inwood, John
III. Myers, has been sick for several
days, but hopes to be on the drivers
again In few days.
We are sorry to hear that Rev. G..
]. Price, pastor of the nj. E. church,
who was unable to fill his last two
appointments on the circuit, is still
quite sick at the parsonage, in Darks-
vile.
Rev r Ashlin White met with a
serious accident, and made a narrow
escape from personal injury while
returning from Shanghai, about dusk
last Sunday evening. When near
the house of Mr.. James Faircloth,
his horse frightened at dog lying

around, began to kick and run. Mr..
White jumped out and was uniniured
but the buggy was completely wreck

Shun Debt.

It is better TO live in some dis
comfort, than to live in the fear of
creditors whose bills we are not able
to pay. If a man is in easy circums-
tances the bland tradesman urges
you to buy and 'pay when you
please" If you are poor and your
character for honesty and integrity
is above reproach and you borrow
on that, you pawn your character.
If man has the courage to say,
no." when he is tempted togo into
debt, he may have to suffer some
privation, perhaps he may for some
what keenly his want, but he will
not imperil his honor nor suffer the
worry and discomfort of dunning
creditors.
Indirectly men incur indebtedness
that ruins them. To do a friend a
favor by the use of your name is often
necessary in business. 1t is simple
complying with the form ola bust
ness contract. He needs money,
and to borrow it requires security.
Still the responsibility for the entire
sum rests on the security which he
must pay if the principal fails.
Some of the best and most honor
able men have been ruined by accom-
modating their friends. We do not
advise against security in all cases,
because that would make a radical
change necessary in the business
world, or stop large amount of
business transactions, but it is fool
ish in the extreme to accommodate
a friend at the expense of your own
ruin.
1t would be better in all cases to
give your friend money, if you have
not, you are probably not IN sit
uation to safely secure him. We
think the following rules would pre-
vent vast amount Of financial disas-
ter.
"Never borrow where there is a
chance, however, remote, that you
will not be able to pay. Never lend
what you are not prepared to give.
Never guarantee for another what
you cannot fulfill if the other should
fail" In this way your financial
condition ca mot be seriously en-
barrassed..

THE Work AT HARPER's FERRY
Work on the new railroad bridge at
Harper's Ferry is progressing slow
ly. The two short spans across the
public road and the canal and the
first span over the river are in place.
Six long spans are yet to be put in
position. The four spans in the mid
die of the river will be of the over
head brace bridge style. The re-
naming parts of the bridge at each
end will be of extra heavy truss
bridge style. The excessive cold at
the point where the bridge is being
built makes it impossible to make
much speed. The bridge iron is I'M
loaded az Sandy Hook, or side track
ed on cars at that place. 1t is taken
to the bridge on cars by way of the
new tunnel, through which one
track has been laid. The iron is
hoisted into position from the cars
with steam derrieks. The grading
near the depot Is nearly done. The
sewer from Shenandoah street to the
river is about completed, also the
arch over the road leading to the
bridge. The grading for the valley
branch is also well under way. Up
along the hillside as far as Island
Park, the road bed is practically
done. The spot where John Browns
Fort stood and all the surrounding
grounds are being graded up on a
new track. Unless exceedingly Sc.
we're weather should set in the bridge
will be completed by April Both, and
the other improvements few months
later.--BrunsaoicE Herald.
