the idea that his ailment is incurable

Disbelief in the ability of medicine to
cure is only mild form of monomania,
although in some cases repeated failures
to obtian relief from many different
sources would almost seem TO justify
the doubt. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has demonstrated its ability to overcome
dyspepsia, constipation, liver and kid

nervousness, and its record achieve

least to warrant its trial by any one

AcANNINo F AoroRY-A Canning

A cANSING FAcToRY.-A Canning
Factory has been talked of for Point
Pleasant, and there are some con-
siderations which make it a matter
of especial interest to the eommnni-
ty, first, the splendid advantages
from the climate and variety of
soils. The Ohio Valley is the home
of the tomato aud the great variety
of soils possessed by the Ohio and
Kanawha river bottoms, and the adj
jacent hills insure crop whether
the season be wet or dry, and a
longer period of fruitiDg than is
possible where such variety does
not exist. The sandy, the aIIuvial,
and the clay soils along the rivers
produce tomatoes of the finest quail
ity, so do the heavy clay and the
lime stone soils of the bills. In
such advantages Point Pleasant is
not lacking, and her transportation
facilities are eqally favorable; the
markets for the products of can
ming factory are near; there is the
great market of the Kanawha VAL
ley, the cities along the Ohio river,
and all points accessible by rail
roads, there is in fact, no limit to
the market.
IF it was settled fact that can
ming factory would be established at
Point Pleasant it would be subject
of great interest to the farmers and
the gardeners; it would be of inter-
est to the merchants; it would be OF
great interest to those who earn
their living by their labor, all cIas-
ses would look forward to its bene-
fits; there is no one in the commu-
nifty who would not either directly
or Indirectly feel the benefit of the
canning factory.
Several hundred acres of ground
would be engaged in producing
crops for the purpose OF canning,
and would in great measure be such
crops as the farmers are not now
engaged in producing, and yet no
farmer would displace the crops
which he is already growing, but
could appropriate land from which
he is at present realizing very little
profit. His market would be sure,
and he would be able to employ adj
ditional labor to assist upon his
farm. A canning factory would
employ one hundred or more of
people, and they would mostly be
those who would not have other
employment, and the earnings
would be that much added to the
income OF the families represented
in the factory, and the community
at large would secure the proceeds
both from the crops grown by the
farmers, and the labor employed il
the factory.
Point Pleasant now has no can
ming factory, but with her advan-
tages, such an institution could not
fail to add largely to her wealth
and it could be shared by a larger
number of people than any other in
stitution which her opportunities
could secure.

tive work of Mr.. c. K. Blackwood,
he was located on Mr.. G. E. MeCul-

ALL Down ON THE Cow.-For
the last few days the town COW has
had full sway. She has had her
nose in every barrel, basket or box
in front of the grocery. She has
sampled every load of cabbage, tur-
nips or potatoes which has come to
town. She has scaled stone walls,
climbed steps, crossed fences, brok-
en- down gates, crept through cracks
and crevices, plundered gardens,
pillaged yards, destroyed shrubbery
and every other act and thing which
of right she should not be permitted
to do she has done. Cannot some
thing be done by the Council to
stay her ravages2
