There has been trouble all week
here among the colored folks. Two
ladies Of color have been "briuging
down WOOL" g,eat deal more
than the Wilson bill ever did, and
we have been trying to get the par.
ticulars in order to prepare spe-
cial article on /" Wool Coming
Down." and may give it next week.
The African NJ. f.. Conference in
session at Washington City, made
he following appointments Of in
terest to our readers Presiding
Elder Of this district. Rev. j. A.
Reid; Grafton. Fairmont and King
wood circuit, Rev. j. H.. Watson.
Rev. A. Title is left at Moore6eld,
Hardy county, aud Rev. Robert S.
Smith, late pastor here, goes to
Wheeling, deserved promotion for
him.
From papers published at Mt.
Carroll, Illinois, we see that Miss
Lynne Waddell, daughter of Il. b.
Waddell, Of Brandonville, tins
county. is making quite reputa-
ton as an author and poet. This
young lady has been attending the
Seminary out there for several
years. We want to publish some
OF her productions in the near
future.
Some claim that the small fruit,
such as cherries and plums, are
killed by the hard winter, but still
we think there is prospect for plenty
Of fruit of all kinds. The apple
crop has failed now for about three
years in this country, and the
chances are that we will have more
this year than we will know what
TO do with. Don't let any old
croaker make you believe the fruit
is killed yet.
Don't fail to read the advertise
ment in another column of j. j.
Cooke & Sons, general merchants,
at TOWNSVILLE. They are selling
goods so cheap for cash. that it will
make some of the other merchants
who don't advertise, hustle to hold
their trade. Just think of it, %
pounds OF best brown sugar or %
pounds of graduated for 81. Bet
ter lay in enough sugar now to last
you the balance of the year.
Henry Bean, who lives or rather
stays near Reedsville, in Valley dis.
trict, this county, was brought here
and lodged in jail last Sunday
charged with helping steal sheep
and some corn, to the amount of
So from David Wright, near
neighbor. He had hearing before
Justice Howard Martin, of Mason
town, who sent him here for safe
keeping to await the action of next
grand jury, on charge of felony,
as they broke in to get the corn.
1t seems that his brother, Bill Bean
who was in trouble not long ago
with Harve Massey was in this
scrape, but skipped out and left the
country for the country's good
The one in Jail here, is ignorant
and no brighter than the law al
lows. He doesnot deny the charge
he is accused of and it is a pity he
couldn't have been scared out OF
the country like his brother Bill,
instead of being a bill OF expense to
the Taxpayers.

"A stenographer, by the nature of his
business, becomes almost devoid of ideas, "
said shorthand writer. I'VE depend SO
much upon other people TO use their brains
for us, merely taking down what they say,
that we not only lose any ideas we might
have had, but our memory as well. IL Ia
said that If an arm or limb be not exer-
cised 1t will soon become useless
II think to a great degree this is true OF
that part of the stenographer's mind that is
brought into use in giving ideas and con-
ceptions and ,-taining impressions of things

listen attentiyely, but when come out my
mind is blank as to what was said unless
I've taken notes and refer to them A ste
nographer becomes nothing more than a

mind except that given to him by other
people.

Some Things Besides Apples That

Some Things Besides Apples That Find
Their Way Into the Mills.
"Thems good cider apples said the
cider miller. "Ain't nothin the matter
with Them
"But they are windfalls, for the most
part, all knotty and dried up. Miserable
things
"Make tiptop cider, them apples will,
persisted the miller.
"But look at the rotten ones. Half of
the apples that | can see are touched with
decay, while n great many of them are rot
ten from skin TO skin. Look at that" said
the correspondent, poking his cane into
Vne OF the apples There isn't a sound
spot in 1t. ~
"That don't hurt 'em none for cider"
answered the miller. "Makes the cider all
the better. some folks says
Glow about wormy apples' Are they fit
to make into cideryn
The miller had talked long enough, and
so one Of the hangers on about the place
volunteered a reply:
"Guess you wasn't ever into cider mill
fore today, was YEP If you had been, l
reckon you wouldn't ask no questions
about worms. Worms don't hurt cider
none"
The correspondent looked incredulous.
"DOnt you blieve it, Well, l tell We
what L do. When you go home tonight,
just try an experiment. Wait till it dark,
an then take two apples an go down int
the cellar an see if you can tell the differ
ence 'twiXt the one with a worm into it an
t'other one"
"What do you meant Why do you tell
me to go down into the CELLAR"
"Why, that's the most darkish place
bout the house, amt ity Don't take no
light with ye. ."
But how am / to examine the apples in
the dark? OF course | shouldn't know
which was which just by feeling of them. -
"Thunder'n lightnin, you don't pose

what | meant What | meant was this;
You jest take a wormy apple an sound
one an 20 down int the cellar an eat 'em,
an I'll bet ye shillin you won't know
when you eat the worm"
The correspondent shuddered.
"Don't that prove itsn ran ON the man.
% "Course it does. We put the worms right
int the Crater long with the rest. How
many of 'em they is we don't know. All
we know is that they all turn into cider,
an the man amt livin that kin tell when
he's drinkin the cider what parts apple
!ui,v an what parts worm juice,
"Then, az in, we couldn't do diff il
we tried. We couldn't send every wormy
apple to a hospital an doctor it with ver-
mifuge till we'd killed of the live stock.

himself for little he declared that he liked
the "Cotter's Saturday Night by far the

This statement seemed to impress Burns,

Unlikely as it may seem to some VIII
read these lines, it is fact, nevertheless
that there is an island in the gulf OF Call
fornia, not more than 90 miles from tn
Mexican mainland, which is inhabited b,
the remnants of a race Of giant cannibals
This startling discovery was made by ives
coast naturalist early in 1891, and has sine,
been confirmed both by United States anc
Mexican explorers, Mr. Mcnamara, til,
scientist referred TO, has a photograph OF
one OF the men found by him on the island
that individual, although not one of the
largest, being over feet in height. The is
land upon which they were found is known
AS the island or isle of Leri, and the orig
inal discoyerer says that there is every eyi
denee Of cannibalism among them.-St
