Sometimes one branch OF farming

another. At the present time the co v
has the post of honor and seems 10 be
forging ahead with telling strides. Talk
about money: all the money there Is at
the present time Is In butter and cheese.
IL takes pretty good colt TO bring iifty
dollars, or good fat pig to bring ten,
but IL you have n good COW she will
readily bring tifty dollars, or box of
butter il will bring - cents apound. IL
you have heifer calf or yearling IL
will sell for cash II once. So don't be
scared. but take good care OF all the
promising heifers. DO not let the
butcher take them of, but make cows Of
them and be ready TO supply the de-

THE DEATH OF COLONEL PENN.

The death of Col. John e. Penn was
severe shock to this community, OF
which he was member almost from
the foundation of the city, and in whi,h
no was held in the highest esteem by
all the people. Although it was known
for several days that there was little
chance of his recovery. 1t was hard to
and useful, and so much beloved, was
about to pass away. Death, however,
loves shining mark, and when it's un-
sparing hand struck down Colonel Penn
it deprived Roanoke OF one OF her best
and most useful citizens, and his family
Of loving husband and devoted
father.
AS lawyer he stood in the front
rank OF his profession; as q soldier he
was true and brave; as Christian
earnest and onsistent and as man and
citizen he measured fully up to the
standard of the most rigid rec uirements.
He will be sadly missed in the city
which he has done so much to upbuild,
and the teArs that will bs shed n mem
orY OF his good deeds and loving kind
ness will be many aud sincere; but
while the psople mourn the loss of such
man how great must be- the sorrow of
thoss to whom he was 30 near and
80 dear. Il is needless ID say that in
their great afiitcsion they have the deep
sympathy OF oil in this community. A
good man has gone to his reward. May
the flowers OF momory always be kept
pure and fresh above his grave.

while the farm was left unworked, the

facts were that If the energies thus

10 TIE EDITOR OF THE SALEM TINES
REGISTER: In the local columns of
your issue Of the Goth instant, YOU pub
lish an article. which l cannot construe
otherwise than as re flee ton upon nv
character as gentleman, l allude to
the following personal reference TO nv
SELF
The Salem correspondent of tho RoA-
NokE ZINES had the following in Tues
days paper:
ut ia said that a gentleman from
Roanoke, who had an interest in the
Virginia Brewing Company, of that
place. Just to show the 'falsity OF local
option in salem, sat in front OF Hotel
Duval Saturday evening and had forty
nine bottles of bear and thirteen half-
pint bottles OF whiskey brought to him
by colored boys, whom he had stopped
and told to get the liquor for him.
That man, we guess. was none other
than the iucorrigible Waller Poe .hontas
Huff, and no doubt IL tho real facts were
known Waller brought his beer and
whissey over from Roanoke and stored
it where he could send runners after 1t.
lS was done to show the folly of local
option of course, hut 1t was too plain
to deceive. Il WAS overdone, so TO speak
But the grand jury looked into It sill che
same; all TO no purpose, however, for
Waller did not know any OF the psople
from whom he got his abundant supply.
1t Is safe TO say, however, tina. it was
only great big bluff, and thai tho law
was net violated here to the extent that
the above item would make it appear.
Your in.imstion that / did not prop
erly regard my oath, in my statements
to the grand jury is without founda-
ton, as you could easily have ascsr-
tanned had you taken pains to investi-
gate before eusaying to "enlighten the
public" in regard 20 matter upon
which you were totally ignorant
prefer 20 attribute the injury done ms
to ignorance OF the facs rather than
to malice on your part. at least until I
have afforded you an opportunity OF an
eXplsnst on, or withdrawal of your
ground less accusations, which are SLAM
derous in eif,cs if not in intent.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTION.
Decline in the Older Fields and In
crease in the Newer.

Several notable features of the production
1894 are pointed out in the report of
Special Agent Joseph d. Weeks of the
United States geological survey. The prin-
cipal features were the continued decline
in production in the older fields and the
increase in the newer. especially in Cali
fornia and the Lima, Indiana, fields; in
crease of consumption over production, re-
sulting in heavy decline in stocks held
at the wells and the increase in price as
compared with 1893.
The chief increase in production was in
the eastern Ohio district, showing 5S1 ,97G
more barrels than in 1893. the standard
barrel being forty-two Winchester gallons.
The production of New York declined al
most $1,000 barrels and Pennsylvania over
a million barrels. Ohio's OUTPUT increased
about 1,3O0,0N. Colorado's output decreas-
ed about $4,000 barrels; Californins in
creased over 100000, while the production
in Kansas, which did not appear as Fro
Queer in 1893. aggregated 10000 barrels in
1894. The total increase for the entire
product being 49,3i4,516.
AT the close of the year the stocks of
crude petroleum in the Appalachian oil
field We're 6499.SSo barrels, a reduction of
yearly 6,O0OotO barrels as compared with
the previous year. and against decline of
only 100000 in production.
Wyoming and Kansas are added to the
petroleum producing localities, the former
fields showing a total production of 1850
barrels. Both of these fields are cited as
showing great possibilities for the future
The total value of the years production
was So, 30, 095, or - cents a barrel, an in
crease in aggregate valuation of almost
S1,000,000 over 1898.

SERIOUS COMPLAINT.
An Oyster Cannery's Alleged Peculiar
Methods.


An intelligent young colored man named
Henry Tolson called on Lawyer Jones this
afternoon and asked il he could not lend
him assistance III his effort to right an al
legged wrong. His story, as related to the
lawyer and a Star reporter, was that he
was employed to 50 to a place called
Lewisetta, on Coan river, where there Is an
oyster canning factory. He was told that
he could earn from S1.50 to 81 day, and
was asked to get as many more young men
as he could to go down the river with him.
He says that there were fifty-six in two
parties, some Of whom went Tuesday and
others went Thursday of last week. Many
of the men took their families with them
When they reached Coan river, he says,
they found that no sleeping quarters had
been provided for them, and there was
Iothing given them to eat except what they
drew from the commissary after they had
worked. Instead of being paid in cash, he
at the commissary would not always honor
them for supplies.
Toson says that the colored people in the
country gave them places to sleep. and as
sisted them as much as they could, but
many of them suffered from hunger, and
were unable to do much work When he
found it necessary to leave he says he
managed to borrow money to pay the fare
on the steamboat for his wife and himself,
ard he got home Sunday night.
Nineteen Of the men in the party, he says,
left the place and started to tramp home,
and he supposes they are somewhere in
Virginia tramping in this direction. What
he wanted the lawyer to do was to make
some move whereby those left down there
might be assisted. He gave the lawyer a
list of the names of the men in the party,
ard the lawyer will make an effort to assist
the men.
