Celebrated Their Tin Wedding.

Tuesday evening was the tenth an
niversary Of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. F. Legge, and they celebrated
it by giving most enjoyable reception
at their home on Main street. Invi-
tations to help celebrate the anniver-
sary were accepted by great many Of
their friends from here and a number
from other places, and congenial par
ty assembled in the hospitable home.
The ladies looked most charming in
their stylish and becoming toilettes,
and it was observed that now, as al
ways, Shepherdstown can furnish her
full quota Of beautiful and attractive
women. Refreshments were served in
the spacious dining-rOom and were de-
hcious, of course-in keeping with Mrs.
Legges usual method. The guests re-
membered the metallic feature of the
affair by contributing tinware in such
variety and prOfusion as to make it
quite immaterial to Mr.. and Mrs.
Legge whether there is tariff on tin
or not during the next ten years. The
evening passed all too quickly, and it
was with reluctance that the guests
took their departure, for the affair was
one of those delightful informal gath
erings that could not but be enjoyable
to ali who were there. We trust that
we may all be here to celebrate with
Mr.. and Mrs. Legge such pleasant an
niversaries for many years to come.

Not An VnmIXed EVIL.


"a great many southern papers are
complaining exceedingly of the low
price of cotton and dilsting Oh the
great calamity of low-priced cotton
aud high-priced flour and corn. 1t Is
of course, fact that the low price OF
cotton will act as hardship this year,
but we do not agree with those peO-
pie who think high-priced cotton al
uumixed boon 10 the southern farmer.
We have noticed that the best times
for the southern farmer within the
last eight years followed the extreme
" low price for cotton in 1894 Ii is
fact that men generally coatract
debts in flush times and pay them
selves out 10 hard times. This seems
somewhat psradoxicsl, but it is fact
nevertheless. In times of stringcucy
greater economy is praciccd, and
likewise when the southern farmer
sees that he is likely to realize low
price for his cotton he at once begins
to diversity, that is, he is more eco
uomicsl, in that he raises his own corn
and meat. instead of having the north
ern farmer do il for him. Ia reality
we believe that 51-2 cent cotton this
fall will eventually result in much
good to southern farmers. Ehis is
of course, cotton producing couulry
and should aud will continue to make
cotton its staple crop but the time has
passed when the exclusive growing
of cotton can be made profitable with
the average faImer. Iu short The low
price of cotton this fall Will force The
South back to greater diversltilatious,
such as she began three years ago, but
in a measure discontinued when cot
ton went up to Z ceuts; sn1 TO the ex-
tent that it induces a greater diversi-
6cation of crops just so far will cent
Gotten be instrumental in bringing
greater prosperity to the southern
farmer"
