DOLLAR WHEAT.

Last Saturday wheat rushed up tc
SIo3 a bushel here. 1t was near 81. &c
in New York and other eastern cities
The greatest excitement prevailed
Quite a number of farmers sold al
SI.oo to $I.o3.
Monday it dropped of some but it
has now about recovered its position
of a week ago.
Wheat has been nowhere near its
present figure since February 10, 1892,
when it sold in Baltimore for 81 OF.
The lowest point reached since then
was in August, 1894, when S. Is cents
was the selling figure. The lowest
price reached in 1895 was 5534 cents,
and last year the bottom notch was
59H cents.
The prospect for good prices is
more than fair, all reports being favor
able, but it will scarcely reach the
figures some anticipates. so.

Peach PrOSpecfS.

The Delaware peach crop is fail
ure and no mistake. This should be
good news to our peach men, who
will not be slow to accept any adj
vantage offered. The bulk of the
peaches for the eastern market must
come from this section, which includes
the Shenandoah and Cumberland
valleys together with the South
mountain region, and the Juniata
belt, in Pennsylvania. While the
Valley crop is not large, the fruit is
fine, being especially we'll colored,
and the recent rains have added a
Iusciousness which is truly delight
ful.

Ex.Sheriff Louis c. Gerling, has

and has his receipts in full with
thanks and the assurance that his
promptness is highly appreciated,
During his term Mr.. Gerling paid the
State nearly $3.50, 600 and he was
always on time, which, considering
the stringency Of the times in this
section, is a record Of which he and
his deputies are reasonably and com
mendably proud.
The business Of the term is row

already paid their taxes in fall should

Boards of education and trustees
should, in making their estimates OF
the seating capacity of the schools,
take into consideration the compulsory
school law which is likely to add
largely to the attendance. 1t is the
duty of officers to enforce the law and
parents should make arrangements to
have their children in school. The
law is good one and when its bene.
fits are once realized all will agree
that it should have been enacted years
ago. Another thought: Children
under six years of age should not be
allowed to attend school. The fact is,
seven years is none too old for child
to begin regular school work.

IMMIGRATION IMMINENT.

There is now but one barrier be-
tween good and hard times for labor,
and that is foreign immigration. 1t is
we'll known that the influx of for
eigners has been very light during
the past three or four years, which
would have tendency to assist labor
in securing remuneratiye prices. The
immigration bill passed by the last
Congress and vetoed by President
Cleveland would have solved the prob.
lem, had it become law. 1t is there
fore the duty OF the Congress to pass
it or some other equally effective
measure before the tide of immigra-
ton turns this way. The danger is
too imminent to permit of delay

Better Telephone Facilities Demanded

Better Telephone Facilities Demanded.
This city is behind the times in the
matter of telephone facilities. The
demand is for an increased service.
Lines should be extended throughout
the county and to neighboring towns
and counties. Rates should be re-
duced to about one-third what they
now are and long-distance phones
should be added.
Winchester now has a modern ser
vice and is reaching out to all of the
surrounding country. This coanty
has been invaded and business that
belongs here is being taken away,
while we sit idly by paying an exor-
bitant price for an inferior service.
There is a splendid opening for
some live men to form a company and
give the people what they need.
The cost is not great and reward is
certain.

who were fighting the flames. Wolfe,

less inhabitants, many of whom in theil
terror rushed into the burning houses
and were cremated. The desperate
Spaniards then charged through th'
streets, using the bayonets on oil whom
they met. sparing neither women no
