She Kills a Deer.

RoMNEY, w. VA, November l6.-
This section of West Virginia has
many expert deer hunters and many
women who are crack shots with
the rifle. Till Saturday, however,
there was no record of woman kill :
ing deer, the wild turkeys being
the acme of feminine effort in the
hunting line. Such record was es-
tahlished, however, by Miss Susie
Harness, Of Wardensville. Ell er
fathers home is located at the edge
of fine stretch of forest, on the Po-
tomac river, where deer frequently
came to drink before the country
was so thickly settled. Saturday
Miss Harness was standing on the
front piazza, when fine buck came
down to the river. about 200 yards
away. She went into the house, and
got her fathers Winchester rife,
and the first shot crippled the buck.
A second shot put him out of his
misery. The antlers are fine ones,
and will be handsomely mounted,
with gold tips, and the skin will
make a hearth rug for Miss Har-
ness room.

A WARNING.

We do not believe that the Repub-
lican Executive Committee are fools
enough to attempt to slate the ap-
pointments for either state or local
positions. If they do, they will find
no endorsement by the people, and
instead of cohesion, they will OBJ
tain, and no doubt merit, division
and destruction. 1t will not do to
always keep few pets at the crib,
who really are useless, and whose
time is occupied in sighting around
the corner looking for the next
batch of a soft snap. Take time,
consider, be careful, otherwise it will
only take the lapse of little time
for a political funeral, and the States
man will be relieved of any necessi,
ty to aid.

local church and the Baptist profess
sors at the university made some
Roadway towards perfecting it. The
Episcopalians took the initiative IN
the dormitory system here, and it
has proved such success that all
the denominations are expected to
follow suit. The Baptists have in
contemplation also q home for the
young women students, where in
