Sinking an Artesian MIX Well.

There comes, in the life of every
nan who canSot afford it a time of
burning unrest, when he is overpow-
cred by an uncomfortable desire to
live in the country, writes Robert T..
Burdette i'll an inimita5le article on
Making a Suburban Home" in the
July Ladies Home Journal. A rail
road man, who doesn't know for the
life of him which end of the pillow
you hitch the horses to, is always
.onging to go OH a farm; a successful
merchant, who vaguely knows that
you dig potatoes, although by that he
rather understands that you mine
them. as you do coal, bankers, after
a certain time of life, for a cheap lit
tie place, not too far out of town, where
ne can sink an artesian milk we'll and
raise his own bananas, of which he is
very fond. And l once knew an able
md eminent lecturer, who had lectur-
ID or 1.-The Pyramids, Their Cause
md Effect" for twenty years, and who
was far more afraid OF a horse than a
ramp is of work, and who thought
hat cows shed their horns every
spring, from which source the brass
bands renewed their supply of instru-
.nents. Well, that man lett the plat
orm at last and invested the spoils OF
many successful lecture tours in a
stock farm. We cannot help it; out

We are drawn. We are children of the
earth, and we do love to creep back

gin to grow long. when the days OF
the second childhood ON upon us,
and the time draws neal when she
will take us into her arms for the last

In the First District.

The Republican primary election fol
Ohio County was held last Saturday.
Much interest was manifested and a
full vote polled. The principal con-
test was between G. w. Atkinson and
B. B. Dovener, candidates for Con
gress, i'll which Dovener was an easy
winner, securing AZ delegates to nine
for Atkinson.
In Lewis County, Atkinson and
Dovener secured eight each, while in
Hancock Dovener made a clean SWEEP
Of the eight delegates.
The indications are that Dovener
will be nominated but there is a
possibility that Maj. Alex. c. Moore,
Of Clarksburg, may win the prize.
There is a strong feeling against Ohio
County in the back counties, and il
they should take a notion to combine
against the Panhandle somebody
might get left.

Making War on the Old Soldiers.


Democratic organs are exultantly
proclaiming that Hoke Smith has cut
down pension expenditures So, ooo,-

stands how this saving" has been
made.
1t has been accomplished by brutal
and dishonest warfare on the old SOL
diers, their widows and their orphans.
1t has been achieved by taking advan-
tage of every loophole afforded by
technicalities in the pension laws; by
arbitrarily and unjustifiably suspend
ing the pensions OF thousands of brave
veterans who depended upon their
meager pittance for a livelihood; by
making new and strained interpreta-
tions of the statutes, always against
the pensioner, and by r-emorselessly
cutting down or cutting off every pen
sion for the reduction or the with
holding of which Bourbon hatred to
the veteran could invent the shadow
of a pretext.
