WINTER SONG.

Sing me n song of the fierce north wind
Whiring the snow into eddies and waves,
Tell of the havoc he leaves behind
AS he onward raves.
Sing me n song of the flashing steel
That skins the face of the pool and pond
OF the tingling blood the skaters feel
And OF gances fond.
Sing of the cider and nuts and wine
or the sparkling cup with Its wreath Of
foam,
OF the flaming logs of the scented pine.
oh, sing of home!
Sing of the frost and the cold without
OF the Jingle OF bells as the cutters spin,
The echoing laughter and merry shout
And the joyous din.
Sing how the wind for the dead year walls,
The stark dead year In his mantle hid;
OF stars that spangle the sky like nails
In his coffin lid.

viii Case.

The time of the circuit court
last week was occupied in tryin e
al important will case. Mrs. Nan
cy Pcery died last year leaving a
will in which she gave all her
property to her husband Henry II.
Peery. Mr.. Peery is over eighty
years old. They never had any
children, but Mrs. Pecry had one
child-a daughter-by q former
marriage. This daughter, Mrs.
Gillespie, brought suit to set
aside the will on the ground of in
sanity and undue influence. Mrs.
Peery had received stroke of
paralysis about year before her
death, and it is claimed that she
was never mentally sound after
wards. Other circumstances sur
rounding the execution Of the will
to show undue influence. Mr.. and
Mrs. Peery were among the few
original owners of the coal land
in the Pocahontas coal field who
proiited much from the coal. They
sold their property in Mcdowell
county, w. Va, for a cOnsidera-
bic sum of money, the estimates
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
Mrs. Gillespie claims that this
property really all belonged to her
mother No civil trial for years
has aroused as much interest as
this one. The jury failed to agree.

1t is ALREADY apparent that the

ing State election if the silver
men insist upon pushing through
the convention platform rcitcr-
ating and endorsing the silver
plank adopted at Chicago last
year. Several informal references
have been held among the leaders
of this wing of the paitr, aud it is
their purpose to make fight
against the endorsement in spe-
cific terms of the currency plank
OF the Chicago platform. They
are anxious to see the breach i'm
the party healed and to again
with those with whom they have
beenassOciated in politics all their
lives, but it is insisted that there
shall be no sacrifice of principle
required of them. A general en-.
dorsement of Democratic princi-
pies is all that the gold men feel
should he asked this year.-Rich
mond correspondent Norfolk Land
mark.
This is the same old story that
has been sent out from Richmond
for the past month. No reasons
can bc assigned for sending out
these statements unless it he that
the minority wing of the Demo.
cratic party are only playing a
game of bluff. The Democratic
party in Virginia is DESTROYS of
having harmony with in the ranks
OF the party, but such statements
AS the one above are not calculat-
ed to bring about the desired re-
suit. The Democrats won last
year without the and Of the gold
people, and when they, with the
Republicans were scattering hood
lie in all parts of the State, and it
IS not supposed that the silver
Democrats, who a'e in the MAORI
~, are going to sacrifice their
principles simply to satisfy those
who felt called upon last year to
vote for Mckinley and the Repub.
lican aid society. If the gold PEG
pie had charge of the party, or if
Mr.. Cleveland had been the nomi
nee last year, these very same
people would now be favoring the
endorsement of the Chicago plat
form.
It's all well enough for breth
rem to dwell together in unity,
but it Is asking little too much
of the regular Democra ic party
to stifle their convictions just to
please those who are as apt to bolt

they will do if the Democratic con
