TRUTH WILL PREY ALL.
Another Native Son Leads the Van and
Beautiful Results Follow.
The Public Not to be Fooled With Noise
and Outcry, but Quick to Realize
the Truth and Always After the
Best-The Best Gives
Quick Results.

MIR. THOMAS OBRIEN. ONE OF THE
M successful merchants and business men
of Freeport, Cal, has this to say: was born
and reared in California, and am not only q
native son oy nature, but one by profession.
For the last five years 1 have lived in Sacra-
mento County, and up to about one year ago
l enjoyed good health. AT that time l con-
tracted a very severe cold, with malarial
fever. This ended in bad case OF catarrh
and bronchitis. My catarrh caused constant
headache and violent cough and pain in my
chest, with dryness of the nose and throat,
and at times dropping into my throat OF
offensive mucous
l suffered q great deal with Indigestion and
had pain and bloating of my stomach after
eating even the lghtest food

VESPER TIME AT THE MISSION

VESPER TIME AT THE MISSION.
Turmoil and care are done, peace reigns in
stead;
Cool shadows shroud the days bright glare;
The mission bells proclaim the hour of
prayer,
And benediction falls upon my head.
The graceful pepper swings its beads of red,
And odor-laden breath pervades the air,
AS when Il censer filled with spices rare,
The solemn priest swings DER the holy dead.
The distant mountains amethystine hue,
Harmonious mingIes with the tlnts above,
And sWeetly blend in one the sky and sod;
And SO the yearning soul with pulsing true
Responds to natures tender touch of love-
And loi this mortal man is one with God.

ABSOLUTELY EUmE
Proride Feed stunfor Nest Winter.

From information at hand itappesrs there
is a shortage of the hay crop in this State
this year. In many sections of the State
there will not be half tie usual yield.
This shortage renders it necessary for far
mers to devise means for keeping their stock
through the coming winter at as little ex-
pense as possible. Some are sowing millet.
Others are inquiring how they may supple
ment their short forage crop.
1 suggest that all farmers who find their
feed will be scarce next winter should at
the earliest possible date break up some land
and drill in a few acres of corn for fodder,
or ensilage. Corn drilled in rows about
three feet apart and the plants left about
eight inches apart in the row will produce
an enormous amount OF feed stuff per acre.
And if the season should be favorable for
the remainder of the summer there need be
little outlay for hay. In order to hasten the
growth it will be well to soak the seed for
two or three days in water before planting
There is ample time for the production Of
a large growth after July 10Th if the wealth
er is reasonably favorable, but the sooner
it can be planted the better. Let farmers
act promptly in this matter. 1t means
money in their hands. JOHN A. MYERS.

little company of amateur actors and
singers OF Charles Town, most of
whom are already favorably known
to audiences here, tor the presenta-
ton in August of a musical comedy
bearing the name For Congress.
The interesting point about this ven
ture is that the comedy has never
been produced on any stage, and is
entirelv, words and music, the com
position of Mr.. Black. The time of
the play is moved forward to the

The Glorious Fourth

The Fourth. of-July in Charles
Town vas observed more generally,
We believe, than it has been for a
number Of years. The banks, post
Office and factories were all closed,
and nearly all branches of business
except the mercantile were suspend
ed and employees in holiday garb
sought pleasure in various ways
The day was most auspicious, very
little sunshine, a nice breeze blow
ing, making it quite agreeable for
out door sport. The small boy was
not without his share in the f%estivi-
ties, the bang Of giant fre-crackers
and other explosives being heard in
all sections of the city from early in
the morning until late at night.
The town was enlivened in the morn
ing by some good music from the
Charles Town COrnet Band, in
marching from the Citizens Fire
Company Hall on West street to
Armory Hall on Charles. Here they
were Joined by Co. /, lst. Regt. w.
v. \. c., with Captain Pyne in
command. About thirty men were
in ranks.and under inspiring strains
from the band marched down
Charles to Main, ard thence out
Coo treet, where they broke
l..LAs and entered conyeyances,
which transported them to Shannon
dale Springs, where they spent the
day. Their soldierly bearing, good
marching and various evOlutions
were highly complimented by the
looker-on. Shanondale Springs was
the objective point of almost every
one, and a crowd estimated at be
tween five and seven hundred is said
to have lined the banks of the She
nandoah and the beautiful lawn in
front and around the hotel. The
livery stables here were taxed TO
their utmost to convey the multitude
and many of our young men went
down on their wheels. Private CON
yeyauccs were also in service, and
several two horse wagons carried a
goodly number. Shannondale is a
lovely place, beautiful in its sur
roundings and scenery, and our peo-
pie are not slow in taking advantage
of an opportunity in spending a DAY
of rest and pleasure, at this old and
we'll known summer resort. The
chief attraction there yesterday was
a tournament, participated in by
twelve gallant young men. Mr.. VIM.
II. Wilson delivered the charge to
the knights. and after a lively contest
resulted as follows: Mr.. Jas. Beans,
