THE WEST VIRGINIA ARGUS, but

wait aud see.
We have boon enjoyinga variety
of weather for the last three weeks.
sometimes il would be as hot as
| Nickademus aud then lt would cool
of aud get reasonable again. III
I Peter Are Smith don't deliver suit
able weather we will have proceed
lngs iRjURctio ObtdiAiO instituted
against him. We wonder if Peter

tendent of schools this fall.

been at the Surgical Hospital at
Columbus, Ohio, getting recruited
up for the hard Democratic times
that the Republicans say are com,
ing, has returned home and is look
ing well and is feeling like cross
cut saw. Everybody is glad to see

w. Va. has been visiting friends
and relatives here and at Pisgah for
few days.
viii Hennessey. Of Pennsylvania,
has been visiting his uncle, Thomas
Hennessey, of this place.
We are informed that n picnic
was held at Beech Run, August IL.
We sec that some of the papers
arc advocating the proposition TO
hold State Convention to nom
mate u Democratic candidate for
u. S. Senator. We earnestly favor
this plan rs it will give every voter
n chance TO express his opinion and
will do away with the wire pulling
so much engaged in by candidates
in the Legislature. Illinois has set
the example, West Virginia should
follow suit. Give us u. S. Senators
by direct vote of the people.
Crops Corn has been greatly
improved by the rains last week aud
has been much benefited by the
showers that fell the last few days.
Hay is nearly all put up, but only
about one-half crop. Pasture is
grecnlng up some. Wheat contin-
ues to thresh out fairly we'll. Buck
wheat is getting fair start and
growing rapidly. Oats nearly all
cut and somewhat short. Black .
berries saved considerably by the
rains. An average yield gathered.
Apples falling, will be very scarce.
Potatoes will be an average crop.
Yours Economically.
