PCCAHONTAS.
Pocahontas, Va Oct. 9th, '07.

Elkhorn paid of last Saturday,
23rd, and tram lo,ds OF people came
in to trade with our enterprising
merchants.
The Southwest Co. will pay off
next Saturday, seth Mr.. VIM.
Long is the Superintendent and at
tends to business in honey bee
style
The party owning the Philadelphia
houses on tho hill IRE selling them
out. MIR. Jno. Sewers purchased
one. He is good men, outside of
being good blacksmith
Our miners staid in ard worked
while otLers i'll divers places were
out resting, and so our companies
occurred orders ah,ad, aud wo hope
they will hold them.
We still remember that our Re.
publican teachers who were called
to pronch protection, taught us that
if Mckinley was elected the miners
in this region would get raise; but
after tho election they were cut
again. We now ask who inspired
them to preach and interpret
dreams?
Some IIungalians havo left here
in the last year, and it gives more
employment for natives who spend
all their money here. Let us tell
our Congressman and Senators, that
if they do not stop foreigners from
coming here, that We -ill elect some
body who will. Tint is one great
Cause of our panics and tramps.
You SEQ millions of our money is
sont abroad yearly To stay forever.
The remedy for this is in us, the
voters. And the time and plan to
remedy ii is at the polls. Vote for
the best men, honest men, this is
our only salvation!
Hon. A. st Clair was in town last
Monday to the delight of all good
people here. 1t ia rare thing that
we have the chance to vote for SO
good man. Let the people use
their sense aud honesty, and always
vote for the best men, in each party,
and soon you could not induce a
crook to como out for office; because
he would be showed under, to the
lasting honor Of tho voters. "Tell
me tho company YOU keep and 1 will
tell yon what You are" Tell me if
you elect an honest man and then /
will tell you if ho will sell you out if
he gets n chance. A dishonest one
Is always trying to get ~ chance i'll
all parties. We, the voters are get
ting tired Of hypocriIes, scoundrels
and traitors, in the democratic, re.
publican and all other parties. We
want no such men as Hannah, OFFER.
rell, Cleveland aud Carlysle. When
we declare the kind of men we sup
port and vote for, it is q public exhi-
bition Of our intelligence, character
and honor.
May all turn out on the right
side, we can only vote for Our inter.
ersts when we support good honest
men, because dishonest men do not
represent the interests of the people
and State when they are elected by
any party. Let the ladies also
preach for good men like stellar
and Tylor, for in SO doing they will
prove 10 the world their superior in
telligence ind virtue.
Yours for honest men.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Let all young housekeepers bear in

things are indispensable in the manage

At tulip luncheon the ice cream and
biscuit glace were served in natural
flowers for cups. Two blossoms fastened
together with ribbons, the leaf and stem
attached, were laid upon a plate and
served to each guest.
Among the spring blossoms daffodis
and tulips are superseding all Others
for the decoration of fashionable dinner
and luncheon tables. Silver flower
bolders are filled with growing tulips
The flowers will keep fresh for many
days.
A beefsteak that is inclined to be at all
tough may be much improved if it is
well rubbed over on both sides with
mixture of olive oil and vinegar. After
the steak has been covered with this
preparation allow it to remain in
cool place two or three hours before
broiling.

CURE FOR HYDROPHoBlA.
Liver of the Dog Said to BE an lnfalli-
BILE Remedy for Its Dite.

A French missionary in China wit
messed recently how two of his carriers
were bitten by rabid dog. and was
very much worried about it, says Medi-
cine Moderne. Several Chinese who
happened to be there told him that his
worry was absolutely uncalled for,
since they had an undoubtedly safe
preventive against the poison of rab'd
dog taking effect, and to prove the as
sertion five Cinnamon who had been
bitten in March of last year by mad
dog were presented to the missionary.
He found that Cinnamon eat of the raw
liver of a mad dog after being bitten,
and if they partake of this within Il
given time after the accident it is said
they will not be subject to hydro
.phobia. 1t is curious that Plinius in
his Natural History" recommends eat
ing the liver of mad dog, if bitten, as
raw as possible, and they who could not
swallow the liver raw should have it
cooked and drink the broth therefrom.
ct is not positively known whether this
remedy is efficacious, but it appears 10
he worthy of investigation, particularly
since this seems to be the actual begin
ming of the isopathic treatment since
perfected by Pasteur and Koch.

TIE TROLLEY BUZZ.
And Something About the Trolley
Cars as "a Cure for Headache.


Cars as "a Cure for Headache.
Ever hear OF the trolley buzz" said
n Brooklyn resident whose business is
in New York. They say that some
people who travel regularly on the troll
ley cars get the trolley buzz. You know
the sound OF the trolley, the bz-z-z-z
that begins low and rises gradually as
the car increases in speed, keeping
uniform tone when the car is running
at uniform speed, and then declining
again as the car runs slower and stop
ping when the car stops? They say
there are people who travel regularly on
troiieys who hear this sound all the
time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. They call this having
the trolley buzz.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SAFES
Lining So Arranged That the Slight

Lining So Arranged That the Slight
est Break Will Raise Alarm.
The latest idea for the protection of
money and valuables is to have the safe
which contains them secured inside
cabinet, says the ST. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. Where a safe is kept in vault,
the vault serves the purposes of cabi-
net. In either case an electric lining
is used, consisting of strips of metal
mounted in connection with thin metal
sheets, so arranged that even pin
thrust through the cabinet and pene-
trating the lining will sound the alarm.
The door of the vault cannot be opened,
nor can the curtain of the cabinet be
raised, until a time-lock has disconnect-
ed 1t from the alarm system. In order
that the alarm box may be proof against
molestation it is made of steel and
placed within a hood lined in the same
way as the cabinet. Any attempt at
tampering with it will cause an alarm
to be sounded as in the case of the cab
met. The door is held closed by heavy
lag bolts, the partial removal of any of
which will give warning signal. There
are several of these lag bolts, and be-
fore the door can be opened they have
all to be removed, which requires a
considerable length of time.

TAUGHT HER A LESSON.
After That the Key Probably Found
New Hiding Place.

New Hiding Place.
The other day very estimabie lady
came to town to do little shopping,
saws the Atlanta Constitution. VI
course the key was put under the door
mat so that her son could get in. In her
absence a tramp, who had been hanging
around the place plumber of days ana
had caught on, boldly went into the
house, got some of the choicest viands
out of the pantry, put them on the table
and pitched in. He also found bottle
of wine that revived his spirits. He did
not expect anyone there for number
of hours and so took it easy.
In the meantime the lady of the house,
having finished her shopping, returned
home and seeing the front door I'M
locked expected to find her son inside.
Imagine her horror when she opened
the dining-room door and saw sitting
at her table the rustiest-loolling tramp
that ever We'd with his companions In
accommodating dirt on his epidermis.
The lady was dumfounded. In the
silence that followed the tramp coolly
reInarked:
MADAM, | shall become scarce now,
-5 I've eaten enuff. All | kin give yer
back fer this good meal and wat l want
ter say ter yer is that yer ought TO find
a new hidin' place fer yer key. | won't
charge yer nothin' for this advice"
With that the tramp departed.

be given it. No satisfactory substitute
has been discovered. nor is it in the least
degree probable that any will be. stan

riven number of acres divided into two
or more pastures will give better re-

grass will be more evenly cropped,

REDUCING THE STAFF.
The New Shah of Persia Content witt
but Sixty Wives.

The New Shah of Persia Content with
But sixty Wives.
The new shah of Persia has been re.
ducing what the Figaro calls 1.-The fem
mime staff of the palace" at Teheran.
He has kept only 60 wives, and finds the
total sufficient for dignity and within
the limits of wise economy, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. The family tree of 60
wives has at present put forth branches
-twenty-three daughters and four
sons; and here we have the usual in
equality of the sexes, always at it's
worst when polygamy exists. Whether
Muzaffer-ed-Din is happy though mar
ried, and much married. the record does
not state, but things seem to show that
polygasny is on the decline in the Per-
sian court. The last shah. in spite of
his prediction for western habits. was
as lord of the harem an eastern in heart
and soul. He had in the seraglio at
Teheran the magnificent total of 1,720
wives. who now are widows. In the
new American Bible of the women
passage is denounced with special Bit
terness by the feminists of the day.
1t is the one in Genesis where men are
called the sons of God and women are
the daughters of men. In the case of
the late shah, one son of the Divine was
maintaining 1,72O daughters of the
earthly. Surely this was a conscien-
tious effort to make up in quantity
what was wanting in quality.

WAR AND WARRIORS.

Of the 27,6oO muskets picked up at

two charges, about quarter from
three to ten and one piece contained %.
1t is believed that ton of lead Is
cred In the form Of bullets for every
man killed in battle. Statistics of Eu-
ropean wars go to show that from 1900
to 10000 shots are fred for every per-
son disabled.
The President, since his inaugura-
ton, presented to John CARRIER, an old
soldier comrade now residing in Bra
gil, Ind, a camp stool which he used
during the war of the rebellion, and
CARRIER is probably the proudest and
happiest man in the Hoosier state.

Charcoal for Poultry.

1t is not necessary for anyone in the
west to go to any trouble to procure
charcoal to feed to fowls. 1t can be
made at home out of corn. The drier
the corn is the better it will char. Put
the ears in baking pan in the stove
oven and let them remain until the corn
is burned crisp and black The fowl
will eat it greedily, and it is well to feed
them full feed of it once week. This
Is especially good for over-fed hens and
for chicks that have any tendency to
bowel troubles. For little chicks the
"orn should be broken up before feed
