Progression means the discard
ing of our errors of yesterday.
The wise man changes his mental
habit as lie does his clothes. He
wants something fresh and new
once in while. If there is no
growth there is decay.
The water i'll the running brook
is pure and sparkling. The pool
is stagnant and unhealthful. If
man is an intelligent being and
experience really counts for any
thing, we ought stamp improve
ment on the wings of time" We
should learn to do things a little
better than we used to do them.
If our fathers had been forever
Joined to the idols bequeathed
them. we should still be living i'll
huts OF caves.
And we should still drive OK
carts and ride in stage coaches.
But we have changed our notions
about some things, and many of
us ride bicycles.

A NEW RAILROAD.
Which Will Play an Important Part
In Coal Development.

Which Will Play an Important Part
In Coal Development.
A very important coal develop
ment in the New river section of
the State is the building of the
Gleanjean, Lower Loup Greek and
Deepwater Railroad which NOW
seems to be in fair way to be con-
structed at an early date. The
road is to begin on Upper Loup
creek, some six miles from Thur
mond station, where the present
Loup Greek division of the @. y
20. Railway intersects with that
road, and then to run up White
Oak brancha distance of six miles.
thence down Lower Loup creek a
distance of sixteen miles toSDeep-
water, small town at the head of
navigation on the Kanawha river.
AT Deepwater the company pro-
poses to builda bridge across the
IIanawlia to interseot with the
Kanawhn & Michigan Railroad, SO
they will have facilities for ship
ping coal by rail over that road as
we'll as the g. so. They will
have the benefit of the river trans
portation also.
Col. j. w. Davis, who is attend.
ing to the interests of the company
says that the new road will run
through the best undeveloped coal
territory in the State, and in fact
as good rs any to be found any
where. He also says that the work
would have begun some time since,
had not litigation been brought
about by Mr.. McKell, ono of the
largest land owners on lower Loup
creek who opposed the building of
the road through his lands. Tho
matter was tried at tho last term of
the u. S. Circuit Court in which n
Jury decided that the company had
the right of way and the com
missioners, Messrs. j. I'll. Couch,
Levi Welch and Geo. Davis were
appointed to nssess the damages.
On Monday they rendered their
decision giving to Mr.. McKell
81 500 damages whichnmount Col.
Davis says will be paid at once,
and work will soon begin ON the
new railroad. -Stnr+Tribune.

They Smoked bird Seed.

Because of a little mistake of his wifes
a well-known uptown lawyer, who has
long prided himself upon his delicate taste
in the matter of smoking tobacco, feels
several sizes too small to fill his own
clothes just at present, says the Philadel-
phia Record. 1t was one of his hobbies
to keep his choicest brands in an old c.
gar box, besprinkled with good brandy TO
keep the tobacco moist and to improve the
flavor.
Not long ago the lawyer invited three
old cronies to visit his house and while
away an evening with the company Of
their pipes. In honor of the occasion the
host produced his finest tobacco and in
vited his friends to help themselves. The
pipes were lighted, and with the first puffs
of smoke same an odor too horrible TO
be described The wife of the distinguish
er member of the bar, who had been up
stairs instituted a search for burning
rags, in the course of which she entered
the room where the smoker was in prog
ress.
do you smell that terrible stench?"
she asked, addressing her husband.
Yes" answered the chorus of three
white-faced visitors, laying aside their
pipes. But her spouse smoked calmly on
in evident enjoyment, and suggested thar,
although he didn't smell anything unus-
ual, perhaps the cook was burning fat
in the kitchen range. 1t was not long,
however, before the odor was traced to
the tobacco smoked by the host and his
three guests.
did you get that tobacco out of the
cigar box on the library tablet" asked
the lawyers wife.
Eyes"
''Well, that's too bad. thought that
box was empty, and I've been throwing
waste birdseed in there every time 1 clean
Bobby's cage. Maybe that's what smells
so unpleasant"
And the laugh was on the lawyer-the
connoisseur, who had smoked half a pipe
full without discovering that anything
was wrong.
