Sewing Class Organized.

A number of young ladies have organized
Il sewing class among the children of the
town, and which already has membership
of fifty. The class now meets every night,
excepting Saturday and Sunday, in quarters
which have been secured on High street,
where the children are given instruction in
sewing and taught other accomplishments.
The garments and pieces Of clothing which
are made by the class are distributed among
those in need, and in this way much practi-
cal good is being done. The social features
of the class are very attractive to the children
and with the increasing membership the
managers have found it necessary to secure
greater accommodations and have rented
several rooms in the Frazer building Pro-
vision will be- later made for the boys, who
will form class and receive useful instruc-
ton in various lines The young ladies inter
ested in this work are: Misses Bessie Scott
Helen Scott, Mamie Haines, Ollie GiIpin
Grace Wells, Corinne lamar, Florence Tor
bert, Lucille Litzenberg, Mrs. Richard Reese.

or Interest 10 Farmers,

The publications OF the United Stdtes De-
partment OF Agriculture are works OF great
value, and the attention of the farmers of the
county, is called to the fact that they can be
received upon application to the Secretary Of
Agriculture, Washington, ID. c. Farmers

Agriculture deals with foods, their nutritive
value and cost, and is one OF series OF
bulletins prepared under the special appro-
priatlon ITO enable the Secretary OF AgrIcul-
ture to investigate and report upon the nutri-
tive value of the various articles and COM
moditIes used tor human food, with special
suggestion of full, wholesome, and edible
rations less wasteful and more economical
than those in common use." The bulletin
has been prepared by DR.. Atwater, former
director of the Office of Experiment Stations
in the Department and who has for many
years made this subject the object of special
study and investigation. An idea of the
scope covered by the work, which is included
in the series of Farmers Bulletins, from the
fact that it seeks to present the subject in
popular manner, is shown by the table con-
tents, which includes the following captions:
"How food is used in the body, ,'-"The fuel
value of food"-"Dennition of food and food
economy "Nutritive values of different
food materials, -"Composition of food ma
terials, THE digestibility of food, 1.-The
fitting of food to the needs of the body

Another Brick Yard for Mt. Savage.
About two weeks ago articles of in
corporation were drawn up authorizing
the formation OF the Mt. Savage
enameled brick company. The in
corporators are Messrs. Andrew Ram
sey, Warren Delano, John Sheridan,
Hugh A. McMullen and James Find
lay. The capital stock is $75 200

mont, w. Va.
Secretary and Treaswer-Hugh A. Nc
Mullen, of Mt. Savage.
Undergraduates Ramsey.
Mr.. Ramsey is an expert in the
manufacture of all kinds of clay ware.
Until about a year ago he was con-
nected with the Cottness iron COM
pany, of Scotland. He has been ex-
perimenting in the United States for
several months and pronounces the Mt.
Savage clay the very best for his
purpose.
The company will manufacture a
superior quality of enameled building
brick; also fancy decorating brick,
and other fancy clay ware. The
character of the men interested is a
guarantee that every effort will be
made to push the undertaking to
success.
Warren Delano was for a number of
years manager of the Union mining
company.
Capt. Sheridan, the present energetic
manager, is well known to our people
through his connection with the Union
and Barton and Georges Creek Valley

90 or 60. About 25 men are employed.
When the works are completed they
will afford employment for great
numbcr.

Chance for Reform.


1t is an open question whether
Senator Sherman will press his resolu-
ton of inquiry into the Pullman ex-
tortion.
If he does not, some other Senator
should.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun describes it as
follows:
For the privilege of reclining few hours
in cramped, stuffy subdivision you are
compelled to pay the price of a comfortable
room, with commodious bed and perfect
ventilation for twenty-four hours.
1t must be a profitable system that
can keep duo of czars-white and
black, on each car-the first to issue
needless checks, and the otherto make
up beds.
These two high officers ought to be
combined ; or, in the case of chump
named "Davis," running between
Washington and Atlanta, they ought
to be exchanged.
However, if such men as Davis
had to live on tips they couldn't earn
enough salt to keep their dirty blood
from decomposing.

\ Timely Chaptcr

The renewal of the James Clark
Dlstllllng company's advertisement is
a seasonable reminder of the fact that
AS the holidays always occasion an
extra demand for the various bever-
ages, whisky especially, it is import
ant to buyers to remember that while
buying they should get the best that is to
be had. Whisky that goes into culinary
uses should be particularly pure be-
cause, if impure, it taints and impairs
the palatable and nutritive quality of
all the preparations of which it NAV be
a constituent. Indeed, it holds almost
the same Office in cookery that 1t does
in medicine. AS all know, when EN-
ployed in the latter service the pbysic-
ian enjoins the pure>t the patients
friends can secure.
But how are unschooled buyers to
know that they are getting unimpeach-
able goods 9
By buying from high, class people eoho
make them nearest home.
THIS is not an infallbe rule every
where, but it is here. In the case of
the James Clark Distilling company
the reader has guarantee in the per-
sonnet of the gentlemen who compose
it;-that all they say of the materials
and manufacture of the Braddock is
true that ali they advertise of their
methods is done, and that all they
promise they perform.
Hence, in buying for the holidays,
or for any other time, go to the best
makers nearest home-the james
Clark Distllling company, and in buy
ing for medicinal, culinary, or any
other hcaihful use, go to same com
pahy.

Paper was issued at p. m. Friday.
About 10 a. IN. Saturday the satchel
was brought to this Office by young
man nam. Samuel Winebrenner, Nv

The moral of this is-advertise in a
paper that the people not only read,
but wait, look for and devour when
they get it. Here is case where sew
eral valuable articles are restored to
their owners and young man made
richer by $3.50 for bringing them to
town-both by a little 81 adver-

1t isn't much use to advertise in
papers that people admit to their
houses about as they allow English
sparrows to occupy their gardens. For
those only are valuable that are an
actual medium of communication be-
tween people who wish to sell and
people who wish to buy.
Such paper is this. Indeed, the
