Corn cutting in the Calverton neigh
berhood is all done. The crop will not
be large one by any means. Seeding
is nearly all finished and quite large
acreage put out this season probably on
account of rise in price. Wheat seed
ed early is growing nicely, but slowly.
Mr.. John L. Crittenden has been
postmaster at Pine View, in this coun-
ty, ever since 1856. An effort has been
made recently to change the postal
route and leave Pine View out. Such
matters under the present administra-
ton have been and will be referred to
Mr.. R. R. Campbell. who, We are
pleased to know, is not in sympathy
with the move, and will use mis- infu.
ence to retain in the service long and
faithful officer whose tenure of Office
has become a matter of interest and
lifts him above the reach of small poll

THE Turkish government ID now Try
ing to devise some unobjectionaole
means by which to get American MIS-
sionaries out of Armenia. as they are
constantly stirring up the disorderly
people of that country into revolts and
disturbances, provocative OF arrests
bloodshed and imprisonment, and the
necessarily incident expense and SUI
tering. This is in accord with what
disinterested Americans familiar with
the condition of affairs in Turkey, say
OF those affairs. 1t is to the personal,
selfish interest of the American mis-
sionaries in Armenia to engender and
continue strife and trouble in that
couDtry, as they thereby evoke the
sympathy and charity of the credulons
people at home, who are utterly igno'
rant of those affairs, and accept as true
all the erroneous accounts the mission
aries referred to send to and have
printed 10 the newspapers here. Even
American citizens, native and to the
manner born, if they be Mormons, are
not allowed to preach their peaceful
doctrines in many parts OF this coun-
try. Why then should people OF a
differebt race and religion be permitted
to provoke disorder and bloodshed
among the subjects OF Turkey? uo-
Outstanding is as lacking in this coun-
try as it is in any other on the face OF

suicide at the house OF relative, Mr..
Howard A. Graham, some time after IL
o'clock Wednesday night by inhaliDg
Illuminating ga. Since the death of her
husband, about FIVE years ago, she
made two previous attempts, and 1t is
thought that her bereavement had un-

The grand jury OF Washington

throat with huge butcher-knife, which
he carefully sharpened for the purpose
before making the attack. Mrs. Steiner
being somewhat less feeble than her
husband, succeeded in thwarting his
efforts at her destruction by tightly
grasping him by the wrist until her
cries brought help, and the old man was
diSarmed

IRON THE annoyance to which Mr..
Mckinley is subjected by the two fac
tons of his party in this State, and
their respective hackers from other
States, he may well pray to be deliver
ed from both, especially as neither can
help him in any conceivable way. Mr..
Edgar Allan says the President is
thoroughly aware of the true condition
of the affairs of his party in Virginia.
If that be so, he must agree with Mr..
John Wise's opinion of the white mem
bers of that party, though he doesn't
approve Mr.. Wise's applications or en-.
dorsements for Office.

that of last October. But while this
may be gratifying to the democrats, it
affords matter for serious consideration
to all men who have any real interest

fords another illustration of the we'll

for good government, is the chief factor

Mr.. JAMES SELDOM CowDEN, who
now halls from Vienna, Fairfax coun-
ty, and has announced himself as a
candidate for the legislature in that
county, says he is in favor OF the ex-
emption of all personal property and
the homestead of every family from
taxation, OF the repeal of the school
poll tax, of repeating laws for the col
lection of debts, of establishing public in
dustries and providing employment for
every body who wants it, at good wages,
aud frequent vacations, with pay while
on leave OF absence. Now that is 8
platform that beats Mr.. Georges single
land tax all hollow, and if Mr.. Cowden
lived in some of the ''liberty loving
and "highly educated" sections of the
North, he would receive great many
more votes than he will get in Fairfax.
