Braxton Central.

piuAAoh tSulidI.
During the campaign of 1892 one Of
our Democratic friends of this place,
while %canvassing in the lower end OF
the county, took dinner at a certain
place and was surprised to learn that
the man with whom he dined was
the father Of fourteen sons, all Demo
Gratis. Our %townsman, being DESTROYS
Of showing his appreciation of the old
gentleman's contribution to the Dem
ocratic majority in Braxton, told the
old man that if he would raise two
more sons he would make him a
present of a fine rocking chair. The
old mar was determined to get the
chair and before twelve months rolled
around he amt to town and reported
that his wife had given birth to twin
babies, but they were both girls. Our
generous townsmantold the gentleman
that he deserved to be rewarded any,
how, and accordingly he went to the
furniture store and purchased a fine
rocker, together with a large portrait
of Grover Cleveland, handsomely
framed, and presented them to the
proud father. The first Of this week
our friend in town received word from
the old gentleman that he and his
fourteen sons had all Topped and
were now good Republicans, aud that
on Saturday they had a shooting
match, and had shot off the rocking
chair and Cleveland's picture.

A Sham. and Disgrace.

There is truth in the following item
from the Morgan Messenger:
ain the last two weeks alone We
have given Berkeley Springs, as a
summer resort, over $500 worth OF
free advertising. And of this, the
hotels receive the greater portion OF
the benefit, yet we fail to find either
of the two hotels on our subscription
list. And we have a gentle feeling
as though their letter heads and such
like are ven printed away from
home"
Instead of $500 make it $4,000,
which would be nearer right, but still
too low.
The ame condition of affairs exists
here and we presume elsewhere.
Many persons who are most benefited
by a newspaper and should accord it
it a handsome support are not only
mean but niggardly in all their trans
actions with the institutions which
do most for them. They haggle over
the subscription price. either do not
advertise or else browbeat the propri-
etor in an effort to reduce the rate,
demand irst-class job work at snide
rates and then go to some snide con-
Germ aud pay their money for stuff
they are ever after ashamed of. Ask
such an one to pay what he owes and
he gets mad and stopsh his paper in the
firm belief that the paper will die
without his Support"
Not all are of that class, but there are
too many of them in every communi-
ty. What a pity it is that the editors
of newspapers have not the privilege
~ofselecting subjects for the undertaken.
How soon they would lift 1.-THE old
man ofthe sea" off the backs Of thrift
and prosperity and make this earth a
paradise.

THE TOP NOTCH REACHED,
"A Remarkable War Souvenir
Offered Absolutely Free
Read This Carefully.

The top notch of enterprise and lib
erality has been reached by the Pitts
burg Times, which that
every one of its sixty thousand sub
scribers, and all who will become reg
ular readers before Saturday, May II,
will be presented with the First Part
of the most remarkable Art Portfolio
Of the year. The work referred to is
Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits
of the Civil War; which will furnish
a complete and authentic history OF
the conflict between the States in
pictures drawn on the spot and in de-
scriptive prose. The First Part will
be delivered free to all readers of the
Pittsburg Times in exchange for the
first six coupons, and the other TWEEN
ty-nine parts will be furnished in ex-
change for six coupons clipped from
the Times and ten cents for each part.
There will be thirty parts, twenty
six of which will be devoted to illus
~trations and four to reading matter.
Each Of the first twenty-six parts will
contain sixteen illustrations, making
a total of four hundred and sixteen in
the complete volume. Short descrip-
tions will accompany the pictures in
each part. The pictures were made
On the scene of battle by the most
famous artists of the time, and can
therefore be relied upon as absolutely
accurate. The work will be a supple
ment to every written history. por-
traying as it does the striking Incl
dents of battle, and giving the like
nesses of the leaders whose names
were on every lip in the days of
strife. Here the veterans will find the
past recalled, and here the young may
gain inspiration to emulate their pa
triotis1n and devotion.
The Pittsburg Times deserves
thanks for placing this SPLENDID his
tory within reach of the people at
nominal cost, and its proposed free dis
tribution of the First Part to all its
readers is generosity without a paral-
lei. If you are not a reader Of the
Times, order it from your news agent
at once. If there is no agent for the
Times in your locality, write to The
Times, P~ittsburg, Pa, for terms to
clubs and agents.

New Enterprises in 1909.

The Manufacturers Record says the
record Of the new industrial enter
prises established in the South during
1898 naturally showed a large decrease
compared with previous years; but
when the dullness in other sections
and the extreme monetary depression
is taken into account, the South's in
dustrial advancement during the year
is really more remarkable than that of
any former period, In view of the
financial stringeney and of the stag
nation in industrial interests through
out the country,i it is amazing that the
South should have established nearly
1900 new enterprises during 1898,
and enlarged and improved a larger
number. What it has accomplished
this year givs.s some idea of what may
be expected with a return of prosper
ity to the country at large.

difference between progressiveness
and mossbackism. This town is, as
a prominent Democrat remarked in
our hearing, twenty-five years behind
the times, but will not remain so.
The change which has come over the
minds of the people is the bug in the
