A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.-Never in
the history of Summit Point, W.
Va, was the M. e. Church, South,
SO crowded as when Miss Florence
Cynthia Snyder, of the above place,
was united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony to Mr.. Leslie e. Coyle, oil
this city. The bride entered the
church leaning on the arm of her
father, who gave her away, and pro-
ceeded to the alter to the strains OF
the wedding march, played by Prof.
r. Middlekauff, of CharlesTown, W.
Va, where the ceremony was per.
formed by the Rev. DR.. A. A. P.
Neal, of Shepherdstown, W. Va.
She wore travelling gown of brown
broadcloth and velvet, with vest of
cream livery cloth, and carried a
bouquet of white roses and lilies of the
valley. Miss Belle Snyder, sister
of the bride, was maid of honor, and
Mr.. Herbert L. Alexander, of this
city, was best man. The ushers were
Messrs. Luther Snyder, of Summit
Point, W. Va, George S. Shirley, oil
CharlesTown,W. Va, and Arlington
Roush and Peyton Ramer, of this
city. Immediately after the cere-
mony the happy couple left for q

THE COUNTY FAIR.-Neil Burgess
famous play, "The County Fair"
was at the New Opera House last
Saturday night, and played to a
large house. Abigual Prue was the
central character, and a more pic
turesque, Anticipated looking, but
right up to date practical country
woman we never saw. The entire
cast was excellent, and the play
mirth provoking from beginning to
end. Play-goers never received
more for their admission fee than at
"The County Fair" and altogether
no better comedy ever visited Mar
tinsburg. The specialties introduced
were not only new, but their origi-
nality of a striking degree.

THE CROPS.
Prospects, Never Brighter Since the
First EurroW Was Turned.

Prospects Never brighter since the
First FurroW Was Turned.
Crop prospects could not be better, is
the universal opinion of farmers and
merchants in this county. The early
frosts are now regarded ~ a benefit in
stead Of an injury, and the reasoning
used 10 this: that grain was too heavy
for one thing, and thus by the frost be-
came thinned. Another and more Inn
portant reason was that vegetation was
growing too rapidly and the grain GO
ing to straw instead of head and kerr
mel. Thus by retardtng it more root
Wal formed, giving the plant Il more
vigorous hold and 4 stronger constitu-
ton, and wheni 1t came to forming the
kernel there will be sap to aid in it's
formation. Everything points to a
monster wheat crop, the acreage being
larger than that OF any previous year
In the history Of the county. Quite a
number of the fields have more than
their usual share of mustard, and a trip
by the editor from this place tn Sioux
Falls last Saturday surprised him to
find such q large quantity Of mustard
in the fields. Yet this is not to be re-
garded as any injury to the crop, ex-
! cept as to the docking" when it comes
to the market.
Corn looks fine. The plants are now
from four to five feet high. They are
| vigorous, bright in color. and look the
| DISQUALIFICATION of health.
Other small grains are doing nicely,
ana no complaint is heard. Potatoes
are not so backward as would be i'm
agined from the blighting effects Of the
early frost. Still 1t Is regarded that
new potatoes will ne In the market b,
the crop will be q monster n wheI
harvested.
All In all the farmers are as happy n
they could we'll be, and II the prospect
keep up a. favorable TO harvest tim.

Anna L., the IA ~mOnths-Old child q
Mrs. Mary Dack Of this city, died OF
Wednesday morning At S o'clock al the

her death from the effects Of a severe
attack OF whooping cough.
The total receipts Of the Elk Poin,
driving association were l.261.l5 and
the expenses 81. l67. IS leaving a balance
of 500. 10 on hand. That's the way tu

e~xchequer. The Sioux City and Sioux
Falls way is to run in the hole for
several thousand.
According to some Of the lawyes 8
there is u very close question to be de-
cided in the suit of States Attorney
Keller against the county, and that Is
whether a beard of county commission
ers a fix the salary Of a states at
torney. 1t seems that the constitution
declares that the Legislature shall
have power 10 fix the salary of the
states attorney" As yet the legisla-
ture has never fixed it. There is an
old law inherited FROM territorial days
providing that the county commission
ers may fix the size of the salary, but
some lawyers contend on the n hand
that the legislature cannot delegate its
power, and, there being no law, the
salary must be a fair and just compen-
sation TO be determined by evidence
before the court If there is a dispute.
The reverse is maintained by other at
torneys, and thus it is, that the dispute
must be adjusted by the courts as to
what compensation the states attorney
may obtain.
Some persons still complain about
the "bicycle hump You watch the
next rider that passes you and note his
position on the machine. 1t is ten to
one that the rider who supports part of
his weight with his arms is the rider
who secures the most benefit. His
shoulders are pushed back and his
chest expanded, thus giving his lungs
the greatest amount of room for the
work they are designed to do. His rid
ing is easier, the whole body being
braced from five points Of support. On
the other side the rider whose hobby is
his straight back has to reach forward
to grasp the handles, and in doing this
he pulls his shoulners forward and
cramps the lungs. If his handles are
high-another freak hobby-his arms
are bent at the elbow, and the muscles
of the arm are made to do many times
more work than necessary. Well, his
back is straight. But is 1t? Instead
al making the hips the hinge. every
joint in his back is used 10 throw his
body forward. Draw your own conclus-
ions. The riders who do the most work
on a machine are the ones who use low
handles and a seat we'll over the pedals.
