A Mr.. Riggs reprenting the Dry Fork
Railroad Company is in the county this
week purchasing timber as it stands in the
forest. We learn of one purchase he has
made, that of Mr.. George Colaw's timber
somewhere in the neighborhood of Hard
scrabble. He made a trip down Jackson's
river Wednesday in company with Mr.. Co.
law. This could probably be twisted into
some railroad news when we consider that
the g. & o. company has purchased the Dry

through this county to Hot Springs.

An Effort to Lynch shue.

Wo learn from W. Va. papers that an at
tempt was made last week to lynch E. S.
Shue, the wife murderer in Greenbrier coun-
ty. Whilst the mob was assembling the
Sheriff OF the county, came along and he was
held up at the muzzle of Winchester. He
eluded his captors however and went very
rapidly to Lewisburg and took Shue to a
place OF safety. Warrants have been issued
for some of the mob who were recog-
nized. After the sheriff eluded them, they
did not attempt the lynching.

We are apt to pride ourselves upon
what we call singleness of purpose. This
is well if such be the duty of the hour, or
il we mean rather singleness of will.
Surely there can be nothing improper in
doubleness of purpose provided all the
purposes are good. And just there lies
danger. One purpose may be good.
another as nearly morally Indifferent as
any purpose can be. and third bad.
The one good purpose will not give char
acter to the whole number. 1t is proper
to apply truth to as many uses as pos.
sible, to utilize anything in as many
fields as circumstances will permit. II
he is benefactor of his kind who makes
two blades of grass to grow where but
one grew before, he who finds a new use
for anything whatever, is also benefac-
tor of his race. 1t is proper. then. to
cause an act OF ours to serve several pur-
poses, the more the better, provided each
will pass the moral examination with
credit.
1t is more than proper. it is both wise
and praise worthy. If deed of ours is
certain to accomplish good, and we OBJ
serve that by slight change in time.
form or spirit it will accomplish others.
why not have the double purpose, why
not take the opportunity to do as many
things as possible? Christian character
often manifests itself in that way. Cen
ius, both mechanical and moral. mani
tests itself in much the same way.-Rev.
E. A. Perry.
