Horses that are to be used for drlv-
Ing on the road do not require so much
hay as is usually given them; in fact
a horse gorged with hay cannot be
driven fast without great danger to his
wind and his digestion. Most livery
stable keepers understand this and
feed hay sparingly. They depend moro
on oats with sufficient hay given to
make proper ration Where farmers
have been feeding their horses more
hay with view Of saving oats 1t
would often be to their advantage to
sell some Of the hay and huy oats,
provided that the latter could be bought
for reasonable price.

Moonshlners Being Sentenced.

The United States court last week
began the trial Of the moonshners who
have been in Jail at Covington for some
weeks. There are eighty of them, from
nearly all parts of the state. Ten were
found guilty, and as many more con-
fessed. They received a sentence of 800
fine and a month in Jail. The increased
number of such offenders bears witness
that moonshining is not among the de-
pressed industries Of the country.

last week, and if the remainder of the
term proves as sensational as the first
day, the town will at least have some
thing to talk about. About noon, Edgar
Sanders, confined in Jail for disturbing
the peace, broke Jail, but, after a hot
chase, was captured, and now has fifty
pound weight attached to his leg, The
Jordon brothers, Of Salvisa, attending
court, furnished the second sensation by
furnishing lively fstic encounter, in
which Derwood, Sylvester and Bailey
were the participants, the first named
being arrayed against the two last. They
fought in front of the city court, and
inside of ten minutes were tried, and
Derwood given sentence of ten daysi

Seldom, is 1t that the steady young
men of staid old West Virginia elope
with their best girls and marry them in
spite Of her parents opposition. but
whenever there is an elopement the af-
fair is generally done up in some highly
sensational and unique manner. This
was demonstrated the other day when,
at Gauley, . young couple boarded the
local passenger train, westbound from
Hinto TO Huntingdon, in great haste, &C.
companied by minister, and paralyzed
the conductor by informing him that
they intended to get married then and
there.
The condutor, who was r. b. William
son, protested and said that II would be
against the rules Of the @. and O. COM
pany, but the groom wouldn't have it
that way. He was big fellow, and he
proposed to marry the girl on the train
or pommel the conductor The argu-
ment attracted the attention of the pas.
sengers, and they advised the conductor
to let the performance 60 on, otherwise
they would not protect him from any
harm that might arise.
BY this time the train was flying along
at terrible clip. A happy thought
flashed through the mind of the conduc-
tor. There was an empty coach attached
to the train which was being dead.
headed" to Huntington. He told the
couple TO have the minister tie the knot
in that car, and to the car the three
went, followed by every passenger on
the train, who crowded into the coach to
see the ceremony. 1t didn't take the
minister long to do the job. 1t was ac
complished between Gauley and Kama
wha Falls, distance of four miles. At
the next station the couple left the train.
