LIBERTY FURNACE REPORT.

Mr.. EDITOR The people OF and
around Liberty are in good health ex-
ceptng slight colds.
Our farmers are all busy planting corn
and potatoes or in getting the ground
ready for Planting.
Bark peelngs are abont at their height
now, and have taken mp all the floating
population of this section. They are gong
and coming daily as regular as bees to
their hives.
Two young men were so unfortunate
last week as to get lost going 60 S@artz's
peeling owing 10 the dense fog in the
mountains. They wandered several miles
into Trout Run Valley aud spent pleas
ant night with Mr.. Heishman and reach
ed the bark camp next day. TIVE of their
chums went astray in the same way the
following day, but less fortunate were
compelled TO stop over at the Woods
House. They claim the bills were moder-
ate but accommodations poor.
We have bad plenty of refreshing rains
during the past few weeks accompanied
with high winds.
Jack Frost made his usual rounds the
last of April, only nipping a few tender
plants, the fruit crop being apparently
safe so far, and if we car Judge by the
bloom there will be an abundance of fruit
for ALL
The West Virginia mail carrier at this
place gave in rather comical experience
after being rendered a second term. He
said, "When started from this Office 1t

sun in summer, and the rain, hail, snow,

their valuable remedies, and how high be

seeker is heard in the land.
Mr. Clarence Redfern, of Shenandoah,
Page county, Va, with his friend, Mr.
Atwell Shull, of the same place, are spend

Rsdfern, on pleasant Hill"
Mr.. G. W. Stickley, the veteran Straw
berry man of this section, says Is Of the
opinion that the Strawberry crop his sea-
81 n will be much below the average,
owing to the wet and cold weather that
has so extensively prevailed the present
spring.
A large acreage of corn is being put out
in this section. Some few of our farmers
have finished planting. but the majority
of them have not. The frequent heavy
rains for some days past has greatly re-
tarded operations in this line.
Should the Hon. NJ. L. WALTON be a
candidate for congress in tie near
future to succeed Col. Chas. T. O'Ferrall.
we violate no confidence in say ing that his
supporters from this voting precinct. from
men composing both the great political
parties, will be larger perhaps than that
cast at any election OF the kind in the last
score Of years.
Should the wet weather continue much
longer, accompanied as it IS with cool and
followed by cloudy days, our farmers say
that much corn Will rot in the ground
In fact an examination by different ones
has shown that already a number of fields
will have to be replantej the first plant

DIED.

Sayilla Francis, wife of Stuart I. Fur,
and daughter of VIM. and Hannah Killer,
died April 9th, 1893, being "a years, 3
months and "a days old. She was the
mother of four children, three sons and
one daughter. She was loving and
faithful wife, and a kind and tender
mother. Those dear little children have
lost the best friend they have on EARTH
Ii is sad, that but few really know the
value of a Christian mother till she is
gone. But these dear little children
should know that their dear mother can
never return to them, but that they must
ere long 90 to her. May they remember
the early instruction and example of their
mother, and so live and die that they may
meet her 10 heaven. Nav her mourning
husband remember the Christian life Of
his loving and 'affdctiOnate wife. so that
he may so direct his life that he again
may meet her where parting will be no
more.
She was a member of the Ev. lutheran
church from eaIly youth. being catechlsed
and confirmed by Rev. II. Wetzel. In this
faith she lived and died, and we believe
that she is TO day enjoying the presence
of her dear sister, who less than a year
ago, preceded her to that beautiful land
of rest
May the good Lord richly bless her
friends and relatives, so that they may
willingly submit to HIS will, who doeth
all things we'll. NJ. L. CARPENTER, Pastor,

Female Prohibition Society.

For some time 1t has been rumored that
a number of young ladies in this place
had determined to form a female pro-
hlbition society, the members of which
were to pledge themselves not to associ-
ate with or entertain men who use to-
baccO, liquor, play cards, or indulge in
any other bad habit. That the society
has been formed and is now 10 active
working order is proved by the following
sat of rules and regulations that were
overlooked and left living on the floor of
a paIl)r in which the society's last meet
ing was held. We will say right here we
will never, under any punishment reveal
how the paper came into our possession.
The following is the contents of the paper
The man who drinks the red, red wine,
Can never glue his lips to mine.
The man who chews the nasty plug,
Will in our parlOr get no hug.
Who smokes or drinks or cuts deck,
Can never bite us on the neck.
So don't you monkey with the cards,
Or we can never more be pards.
The man who guzzles lager beer,
Can never, never chew my ear.
Drink nothing stronger than red pop,
Or in your lap well never flop.
The man who smokes the cigarette,
Car never get squeeze, you bet.
We learn that branch of the organzl-
tiOn Is to be started In Edinburg in few
days, so the unfortunate lads of that
town can also look out for squalls as well
as their poor Woodstock brothers.

Ohiectionable P1ctures.

Siauntor Spec 'dtOr : We learn that it II
the fixed purpose of Mayor Fuliz to pro
hibit in future the plsycarding of pictures
for shows which represent female charac'
ters, such as dancers, &c, with dresses
that expose too much of their lower limbs.
This is a step in favor of decency and
morality, and the judicious exercise OF bis
legitimate authority in that direction
will be generally approved. If his au-
thority could be exercised 10 a similar
way to Influence the dress of females at
balls and social parties, it would be even
more beneficial, for a dress which is too
short at the top is more Objectionable than
one too short at the bottom and yet there
be some who would express great objection
to picture ola ballet girl in short
dresses, who would deem it en- regle and
altogether proper for young society
lady to enter a large company in
dccOllette dress so short at the top as to ex-
Dc her shoulders and half Of her bosom
aud back in nude condition. This is
not consistent, yet it is true. we would
like TO see reform in this matter COM
