A grave question arises in the
face of the bicycle craze which
threatens to engulph mankind. Sup
pose that everybody should ride
bicycles for the next hundredIyears,
what physical effect would it have
on the human family? 1t has been
suggested that people would have
abnormal lower limbs, slender and
feeble bodies, large humps and swan
like crooks to the necks. They
would lose their agility on the
ground, and be almost helpless ex-
cept on wheels.

There are entirely too many dogs
in this town. Many of them sent
away when the Assessor was on his
rounds, have been brought back,
and have thus escaped taxes or
license. Let every dog upon which
license has not been paid, be kill
ed. The safety of this community
from mad dogs is demanded by the
citizens.

Wool.

Editor Register:-If eastern man
ufacturers of wooden goods seal the
fate of the American shepherd by
Persisting in the purchase of free
foreign woods, to the almost entire
exclusion of our native woods, why
would it nat be a good policy for
the farmers to boycott American
WOODEN fabrics except when said
fabrics are made at factory
known to purchase and use Amer
lean woods exclusively? America
can raise all the different grades of
wool necessary for the manufacture
of all fabrics of wool. x

There is a good deal of kicking,
by the disappointed ones and their
friends, over the selection of teach
ers for our high school. The Point
Pleasant teachers, did not seem to
be recognized except in two instan-
ces From what we can learn the
Principal selected will not prove
very satisfactory to the patrons of
the school. The corps of lady
teachers, however, are very salts
factory. 1t seems that politics had
much to do with the selection of a
Principal. If the Board did not
want Prof. Kenny, there were hun
dreds of other good teachers in this
State, graduates of the State Uni
versity at Morgantown, to have Sc
lected from, some of whom were ap-
plieants, we understand. There
was no need of going to Ohio for
Principal. If the Board hasn't
raised a storm by its selection Of
Principal, we are very much mista-
ken.

The Ohio River Railroad Com
pany has issued an order to take up
and abate all side tracks leading to
coal mines, salt furnaces, saw mills
and other plants, and many have
been taken up. In this county ali
the side tracks leading to the sew
eraI coal mines, except at Camden
and New Haven, have been aban-
doned. This morning workmen
commenced to tear up the switch
leading to the Electric Light Plant.
This will be a sad blow to many
operators and will destroy the bust
ness of some of the coal men en-
tireIy. 1t looks very much like q
piece of injustice. Some of the
parties interested are talking Of
bringing suits for damages against
the Company.

Shoes Free
from shoddy, but with lots
of fit, style, and wear in
them, are the best sellers,
because the best wearers.
Such are
Little Giant Shoes,
found only at our store.
The false and the low
prices and vague decept-
ions of merchants are the
chief characteristics of the
advertisements printed in
Point Pleasant newspapers
nowadays.
The honest merchant
who really has the except
ional low values to offer is
at a loss to know how to
advertise the facts, so that
the oft-bitten public will
believe him.
Remember we can and
do sell better goods at all
times for less money than
any store in town, but new
er have we sold goods SO
cheaply as now,
Not only do we want to
sell what we've got, but
what you like and want
So that after you have
bought and paid for any
article you are under no
obligation to keep it, unless
it pleases you and meets
your requirements exactly;
otherwise bring it back
and get your money.

CHARLESTON, July II, 1995.-Busi-
ness fairly brisk, and the building
boom is still on. The continued
low water in the Kanawha river,
however, visibly affects our army
of buyers and shippers and all eyes
are turned to the much wished for
completion of the locks and dams
between here and the mouth.
The political cauldron is begin
ming to simmer, and already several
candidates of the two great parties
are out button-holing the working
class, but they frequently get their
fingers in the moro numerous other
holes found in the average voters
clothing.
The gold bugs have been getting
in some systematic wook here which
has aroused the advocates of the
white metal, and a call has been
issued for a meeting at the court
house, next Tuesday night, signed
by about fifty OF our most promi-
nent and influential citizens of all
parties.
Judging from personal contact
with a great many well posted
laborlng men of all trades and pro-
fessions, and of all parties, l think
it is safe to say that seven-tenths of
them are out-spoken advocates of
free silver, regardless of their old
party's lash.
A Iaborer said to me the other
day, every gold bug with whom
am acquainted has dead coolies of
the yellow stuff, or is a person who
dresses himself in the back number
clothing of the man who does his
thinking" Both of the great
parties would do well to keep an
eye on the vast army of the jung
ling sil7erites in this State. C.
