the causes for the hard times. of which
we hear so much complaint. 1t contains
far more truth than poetry:
There is being so much said in this
country about hard times and the scarcity
of money and as everybody has a cause
and knows a remedy, l thought l would
write to tell your readers what think is
the cause, viz;
We buy more than we produce.
There is too much bacon shipped here
every year. The things we ought to
make at home we are buying
We let our timber rot and buy our plow
stocks, singletrees, ax-handles and feno-
ing.
We throw away our ashes an! buy
soap and axel grease.
We give away our beef hides AMI buy
hame-strings and shoestrirgs.
We waste our manure and buy guano.
We buy garden seed in the spring and
cabbage in the winter.
We let our land grow up in weeds aud
buy our brooms.
We waste the wax out of our pine and
gum trees and buy chewing gum for our
children.
We build schooltouses and hire leach
eys and send our children off 20 be edu-
Gated.
We land a I've cent fish with a four

try that there is overproduction of are

No Fish Story Here.

The carp story of the New Market Press
isn't, a circumstance to an encounter that
a Woodstock man once had with gigan.
tic eel near here many years ago.
he had gone to the river to gig fish,
and while on the bank making prepare
tons he heard tearing noise in nearby
garden. Thinking q lot of cattle were
destroying the mans vegetables he start
ed TO see, carrying his gig in his hand,
and following up track from the river
banks which he supposed had been made
by dragging some large drift logs from
the river which had mashed down and
torn out wide road through the wilder
ness of enormous weeds and brush that
grew thickly between the river and the
garden. Reaching the garden he was
surprised to find the stout paling fence
torn down and broken into fragments.
Entering the enclosure his eyes fairly
started from their sockets when he saw
an eel about thirty feet long and as large
round as beer key eating head after
head of cabbage, tearing them from tie
ground as easy as an elephant could have
done it. Although startled in every
nerve our fisherman was as brave as
Achilles, and slipping up to the monster
reptile, for there is nothing Of the fish
IN their abomnabls make up, he drove
his gig with all his strength into the
nasty brute just about twelve inches
back of the head. The startled reptile
turned and made for the river ct light
ming sreed but our brave mans blood was
up, and clinging TO the stout handle of
the gig he jumped astride its back,
waving his blazing pine torch and Civ.
ing warwhoop that echoed for miles
along the river hills.
The eel tore through the water with
the speed of an ocean steamer throwing
TIE spray high above the tree tops along
the banks, occasionally diving beneath
the water but our brave champion held
on and as the reptile came to the surface
elch time in hurry it only required a
flourish Of the torch to start mp the yet
living Goals into fame. Ga the fright
ened eel went, it's loud believing and
the war whoops of its rider rOusing the
paeple from their slumbers, and as they
threw open their windows they were
scared out of their wits as they saw the
flames of the torch making rainbows IN
the spray as the beautiful monster tore
past. Over the dams be few like flash
until reaching the high one below Stras-
burg be darted through the schultz leay-
ing bis bold rider clingipg to the string
piece.
Two days later an American man.of-
war cruising of the Virginia capes saw,
as they supposed the tip of sunken
schooner,s top mast projecting above the
water. Sending boat they found the
dead eel, it's tongue hanging out oyer
two yards, and a gig sticking in its neck
on the handle of which was carved the
letter IL" and the address Woodstock,
Va" That gig now stands in corner OF
the HERALD Office, proof positive of the
above.
