Who IS Independent.

There is BUT one position of actual
personal independence open TO- man
anywhere in this country. The mer-
chant holds his wealth by tenure sub
ject to many contingencies. and small
per cent Of them succeed; and even in
the case of final success, there never
has been day during his career that he
was not to some extent harrassed by
fears. The lawyer depends upon his
clients, the, doctor upon his patients,
the politician upon the whims OF the
voters, but the man who has good
farm. fully paid for. though 1t be small
has an absolute assurance that nothing
less than q political cataclysm,, re-
volution in human affair, can prevent
him from securing fair degree OF
comfort, and abundantly all the neces.
saries OF life. Banks may fail end
wreck the fortunes of the rich; robbers
may steal the substan nee Of the we'll
TODD; clients may refuse to go to law,
and sickly persons may be sensible
enough to take no physic. But .
good soil 10 fee simple is there to stay
and only willful neglect or blind igno-
rance cao cause It to deteriorate or re-
duce its capacity to feed and clothe
the farmer and his family. When
the merchant closes his doors his
business ceases: n he ceases his eft.
forts for ever SO short time, then is
that muck lost. In every other occup-
alton and profession, man must de-
pend upon his fellowman for success.
and keep everlastingly att. The farm
er's crops and cattle grow while he
sleeps, or rests, or goes fishing. His
land is his hank, that never fails, and
his labor and skill are his deposits, that
are always repaid with interest. The
farmer produces the prime necessities
of the world and is independent, while
all others depend upon him fot susie
nance. The world can do without doc
tors, speculators and politicians--and
really much better without than with
them. Vicissitudes of seasons muy
shorten the farmers crop Of wheat. but
he has his corn and potatoes, his cot.
ton and oats may be cut off by boil
worms and rust, but he has hogs and
cattle and hay left. Often the very
cause that shortens once crop enlarges
another. So that as far as human judg
ment can forsee, he has an absolute as
surance that with reasonable effort he
will not want. But for the hamiliating
fact that people desire riches more
than contentmeut, and give more
thought to the fact than the manner of
getting. we would all want to be farm
ers. Up to 1861, when the dogs of war
we're let loose, and all economic laws
were suspended, it was the hope of mer
chants and professional men to eventu-
ally establish themselves upon farms
where they could breathe the pure air
If heaven, with none to make them

vantage of our exceptional subscrip-
ton offer. The past month has seen

become valued possessions in the
homes this paper reaches. None
have failed to fully appreciate the
work and to express themselves in
terms of enthusiastic Commentator
regarding it. New subscribers and
old subscribers who have renew Tor
one year, already have it, still many
may desire an extra copy to send to

is only necessary to secure one new
annual subscription to obtain the
book, which is sure to prove valued
possession in the hands of any one to
whom it may be presented. All
should remember that the offer holds
good through this and next week

A Fish Story.

Two well-known young men from
this city went fishing last week and
tell funny story of how they learned
new way of catching catfish. One
night, simply to have little fun las
they failed in their attempt at catch
ing fish, they took duck which they
had killed, skinned it, aud tying a
string to one of its legs, dropped it in
the river from the side of the boat.
Immediately the catfish began nibbling
it. One of the boys gave it sudden
pull, when to his establishment 8 fish
took hold, ibid notIlet go, and were
safely landed with the duck into the
boat. This was a new and novel ex-
perience with the boys and they kept
on dipping the duck until they had
caught all the fish they conld carry
home. An inventory of the "stock
in trade" showed Io4 fish. caught by
one duck inside of 54 minutes.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces Of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have SO much faith in its cur
alive powers, that they offer One Hun

to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

church at Hedgesville gave series OF

and are correspondingly happy.

and that the odd Time Deestrict

repeated Monday evening.
All persons connected with the en-

perfectly and have the sincere thanks
of the ladies having the matter in
charge.
