Old age gives good advice whe
it is no longer able to give be-
example.
In every work of genius we rec
ognize our own rejected thoughts;
they come back to us with GER
tain nlienated majesty.
He that hires one garden (Which
he is able to lookeafter) eats birds;
he that hires more than one will be
eaten by the birds.
The more 1 think of it, 1 find
this conclusion more impressed
upon mo-that the greatest thing
a human soul ever does in this
world is to see something and tell
what it saw in plain way. Hun
dreds of people can talk for one
who can think, but thousands can
think for one who can see. To see
clearly is poetry, prophecy, and
religion-all in one.
The following is the language of
Henry Watterson:
"In 1900 we were few millions
of people and we loved liberty. In
1900 we are nearly hundred mil
lions of people and we love money
Moreover, individually and col
lcctively, we have great deal OF
money. Most of this money is in
vested in what is called corpora
tions. From handful of individ-
uals we have become nation OF
institutions. The individual counts
for less and less, organization fol
more and more. 1t is tho idio.
syncrasy of the age in which VIC
live"
And now comes the troubles Of
the dispensers of public patronage
Governor-elect Atkinson says he is
besioged by office seekers, and that
hungry horde of applicants are
haunting him by day and by night
He has but nine offices to be filled
and for these he has already receiv-
ed the application of over 800 per
sons-an average of over 100 fol

body is going to be disappointed

start business in all lines, give
work to the people at good wages,
and reliovo the distress now exist
ing in this country. We are for
livening up business.
The many friends of Major e.
A. Bennett, of Huntington, will be
glad to know that he will be one of
the membcrs OF the House of Dele
gates from Cabell county i'll the
next Legislature. On the recount
had in that county, it was discov-
cred that the Major had run ahead
of his ticket and was elected by a
safe majority.
West Virginia has hundreds of
thousands of acres of cheap lands
and farmers with small capital can
find no better location for homes
than is found in this State, and no
county presents better advantages
to the small farmer, than does
Mason county.
Blessings are sometimes SO well
disguised that they are not recog-
nized for years. But the fellows
who didn't get nominations in the
Democratic State Convention last
summer are hugging themseles
now.
Now we are told to wait for the
new administration to get hold oi
the reins of government and then
we shall see prosperity as this
country never saw before. Let il
come, we repeat it, let it come. We
will welcome good times with
everybody else and endorse the
men and party who are able tc
bring it about.
