Governor MeCorkle's speech be
fore the members of the Editorial
. ssociation at Clarksburg was a
good one, and was highly appre-

tendance. When the Governor
gets down to talking of the unde-
veloped mineral and other re-
sources of West Virginia he is
right there every time, and makes
every one of his fellow citizens
rather proud that he may claim
West Virginia as his home. The
Governor seems to think we ought
to have Cuba in spite of Spain,
probably in order to sell her some
of the iron and coal we don't need

While typhoid fever is quite prev
alent in many sections of this State
and deaths are frequently resulting
from this dread disease, the causes
producing it, as stated by the sever
al physicians treating the cases, ap-
pear to be quite as varied as are the
localities in which it prevails.
The majority of the medical pro-
fession agree that the use of impure
water is the leading cause, yet in
some places where it exists in it's
most fatal forms, the water comes
from mountain springs, the purity
of which is unquestioned.
Again it is claimed that the disease
is not contagious yet it is a peculiar
fact when it breaks out in any To-
cality it usually has many victims.
Whatever be the causes every
possible precaution should be taken
and used to prevent its inception
and spread.-Kanawha Gazette.
An exchange publishes the follow
ing formula as sure cure for small
pox: "Sulphate of zinc, one grain;
foxglove Cdigitalis), one grain; half
a teaspoonfuls of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfuls of water; when
thoroughly mixed add four ounces
of water. Take a spoonful every
hour. The disease will disappear
in twelve hours. For child, small
Ter doses, according to age. If
counties would compel their physi-
clans to use this there would be no
need of pest houses. If you value
advice and experience use this for
that terrible disease"
Parties have been buying walnut
stumps in Pocahontas county and

loads. Walnut stumps do not de
cay readily, there being some
stumps cut during the war that are
in a pretty fair state of preservation.

The wide prevalence of typhoid
fever as an epidemic is causing
CONSERVATION in many localities
AT Chillicothe it is raging as an
epidemic; our Davisville CORES
pendent reports several cases there;
at Wayne c. II. the circuit court
was adjourned by Judge Harvey,
as the sheriff reported that one
fifth of the people of the town
were down with the fever. In our
town there have been an unusual
number of cases. This condition is
probably traceable to bad sanitary
conditions and impure water. A
general cleaning up OF all promises
should be enforced, and all water
used for drinking purposes should
be boiled.-Parkersburg Sentinel.
