MARTINsBURG, w Va, October a.
The twenty-flith annual meeting
of the State Grange began today
with fourteen or the eighteen sub
ordinate oranges represented. T. G
Atkeson, Master of the Grange, de
livered his annual address. He sale
he could see nothing but encourage
nent in the work of the Grange since
the last meeting, and he believed
that the order was at the beginning
of a general revival. He approved
of the rural mail delivery system
and said the farmers should demand
its extension as rapidly as possible
He also complimented the Board Of
Agriculture on its selection of G. G.
Brown as institute director, and
warmly praised the plan Of an agri
cultural home reading course of the
University, and the work of theex-
pertinent station.

STATS SHEEP BREE DERs
And Wool Growers Association Hold mn
Interesting Session at Martinsburg.

MART1NSBURG, w. Va, Oct. II
The state sheep breeders and wool
growers association met in annual
session here to-day and adjourned
after an interesting session to meet
with the state horticultural society
at some point In Greenbrier county,
mkt year. Both Of the organizations
reelected the old officers, and each
added a score, or more OF vice pres
idents.
The resolutions adopted we're in
praise of the management of the
agricultural department of the uniyer-
sity, and OF the action OF the board of
agriculture in electing an institute
director.
Governor Atkinson Is also called
upon to appoint some good practical
farmer on the board OF regents Of the
university in place of Prof. T. G.
Atkeson, who contemplates resigning
on account of his professorship, and
who was the only farmer on the board.
Nj. V. Brown and =. @. Eastman,
are mentioned as satisfactory men.
All phases of the sheep question
were thoroughly discussed. The
concensus OF opinion was that sheep
raising was profitable, particularly in
West Virginia, when properly conduc-
ted, and that we should produce all
the necessary wool in this country
instead OF buying it abroad.

APTER THE COUNTY SEAT
Preipeets ola Lively War in Marion
County Before Long.

There will be merry war in Mar
ion county before this year is up.
The city of Warrington is casting
longing glances at the county seat,
and intends to make play for it.
Warrington contains some very en-
ergetic citizens by the way, who
take great personal pride in their
town, and who will leave no stone
injured nor spare their dollars to
make their hustling town the capt
tai. A petition is now being circu-
lated to present to the county court,
asking for special election to be
held, and the district of Warrington
itself contains enough voters to com
pei the court to hold the election.
One of the strong points of the Man
nington case, and one which they
expect to appeal most sympatheti-
cally to the voters, is that the town
will put up court house at its own
expense, free of charge to the coun-
ty. This is quite an argument
against Fairmont, which is now
building hundred thousand dollar
building at the expense OF the coun-
ty. An injunction, however, has
temporarily stopped proceedings on
that structure. There is no love
lost between the two towns. and
there will be blood on the Marion
moon before long Wheeling Necs.

A Terrible Accident.

Details reached here to day of ter
riblc accident which occurred in Har-
rison county on Sunday.
Dyson Mitchell, a prominent young
farmer residing about four miles frem
Clarksburg, called on his sweetheart
in the morning to drive with her to a
friends house several miles a way,
where it was the intention to spend
the day. The young man took gun
along for the purpose of killing some
squirrels. 1t was lying between the
the two with the muzzle resting
against his side.
They had proceeded on their way
about mile when the young lady,
in shifting her position, in some man.
ner struck the trigger of the gun with
her foot. The gun was discharged,
the entire load entering the young
mans left side, making an awful
wound. He was taken to a house
near by where he expired in half hour.
The young woman was Frustrated
over the awful accident, swooninp
away several times, and is in very
serious condition.

The average man would rather have
a woman sheer at his religion than at
his necktie.
In every novel written by woman,
the men do the proposing and the wo-
men are always trying to stave them
off.
No woman is truly happy until her
husband is sick and she can make him
put his feet In pail of hot mustard
water.
Bishop Gaines, Of Georgia, one of
the most prominent of the negro bish-
ops of the South, is about to publish
book in which he will state that the
black race is being gradually absorbed
by the white, and that as a result of
many mixed marriages the pure blood
ed negro is sure to disappear altogether
at the South. He declares that there
are over l, $50, 900 mulattoes in that
section, and that their number is con-
stantly increasing. This is not the
commonly entertained view, nor do
we believe the correct one. The best
authorities vouch for the fact tn t
since the end Of the ivil war over 80
years ago, there has been mark d
decrease in the addition to the mulatto
population of the South. Nor are the
reasons difficult to understand, TO
those who study the subject in the
light OF recognized facts. The two
words, freedom and slavery, explain it.

The Book or the ROYAL Blue.

The "Book OF the Royal Blue, y
issued by the Passenger Department
of the Baltimore and Ohio II. R., has
made its initial appearance with the
October number, and is undoubtedly
the most creditable magazine of its
nature published. Aside from being
a model example of modern typogra-
ply, it is most interesting as to its
contents. A field for interesting
literature is certainly offered by the
Baltimore and Ohio r. r., because 1t
is the oldest railway in the United
States; is foremost in historical prone
inence, and is rich in magnificent
scenery. The latter especially affords
an endless scope for Illustrations, and
the magazine has started on its ven
ture with all these points full in
hand.
Copies can be obtained by enclosing
four (4 cents in stamps to the Adj
vertising Department, Baltimore and
Ohio r.. R., Baltimore, Md.
