Gold for Golden Grain.

Baltimore Sun.
The question arises whether the
fact that Saturdays price was on the
gold standard may not influence oui
silver friends to knock off something
from the price they now get. Theii
chief demand was "dollar wheat, "
but they wanted it in silver. Silver
in their view is the stable standard,
the farmers friend. the money that
does not vary. A dollar in silver
about met their views last summer,
and if they had had their way our
farmers would be now receiving pay
for their wheat in silver at the rate oi
STA per bushel. The silverite argu-
ment was that reconciliation would
bring down the price of gold, so that
it would not be open to Mr.. Bryan to
say that the price of wheat on silver
basis would be higher than it is on the
gold basis. AS a matter OF fact the
gold the farmer now gets per bushel
for his wheat is worth from 81 90 to
s. 10 in silver, or more than twice as
much as he could have got if Mr..
Bryan had prevailed. The average
farmer will no doubt hold on to the
whole $2.6o, but the silverite farmer
ought, it has been suggested, to pay
over 81 90 of the extra price in silver
to his sound money neighbor whose
vote saved him from great loss.

readers will spare this effusion- this
vain attempt of descriptive. To en-
Joy it, it must be seen.
Elkins is a beautiful little place
and one never tires of going there.
1t is the home of at least three dis
tinguished men, Elkins, Davis and
Kerens, who have lavishly spent their
money in building and identifying
the town, and more especially in
erecting each, in a row, a beautiful
home, rather castle ] should say, on
the sloping hills that overlook the
town. The w. Va. Central is having
new rails put down, making their
road bed in excellent order for the in
creasing heavy traffic that is going
over the road. The management of
the road is first class. Men like
Capt. Harrison and c. L. Bretz, the
courteous passenger agent aud gener-
al manager, do credit to the road,
which is the pioneer Of this portion
of the State, carrying natures richest
stores Of coal and timber and deliver
ing them in the markets of the world,
thereby giving employment to thou
sands of her people.
While at Elkins noticed Archbish.
ops Keane and Ireland at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Kerens for a few days
vacation. Since the great fire at FL
kius, which burned nearly half OF the
town, they have begun to erect new
brick buildings and will have the
new courthouse there making Elkins
the capitol Of Randolph county instead
of Beverly.
Davis is also great lumber town
aud one Of Martinsburg boys, c. T..
Gibbs, is doing we'll there. He is
engaged in merchandising. New
coal mines are being opened at
Philippi and Belington, and this part
Of the state is growing in Importance
by the influx of capital from Pennsyl-
vania and other great states.

A SICK WOMAN
Should Consult the Best Physician
Possible.

Possible.
If all the sick mothers, invalid
daughters and diseased sisters in this
broad land would write to DIR. Hart
man when falling to find relief else
where, no pen could describe the BEN
eft that would follow. There are so
many women, especially married
women, who drag themselves YEARLY
around from year to year without any
particular disease, and yet miserable
beyond description. They ache and
tremble and throb, growing more
nervous, tired and debilitated every
day. For this class OF sufferers Pc
ru-na is the most perfect remedy in
existence. It relieves, it soothes, 1t
quiets, it strengthens, and no tired,
overworked woman in the land should
be without Pe.ru-na in the house for
single day.
Those wishing a complete descrip-
ton of female diseases, their causes
and cures, should send their address
to The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a free
copy of Facts and Faces" a book
showing what Dr. Hartman free
treatment has done for a multitude OF
invalid women.

The Shakers OF Mount Lebanon,

The Shakers OF Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God
fearing men and women, have pre-
pared the Shaker Digestive Cordial
for many years, and it is always the
same, simple, honest, curative medi-
cine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long-lived peo-
pie that they are. The Shakers never
have indigestion. This is partly ow-
ing to their simple mode of life, part
ly to the wonderful properties of
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies
what's wanting Shaker Digestive
Cordial invigorates the stomach and
all its glands so that after awhile they
don need help. AS evidence of the
honesty of Shaker Digestive Cordial,
the formula is printed on every bottle.
Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to
81. 90 per bottle.

small wonder that Fitzgerald society re-

other cities for receiving him so gener-

IN state Of collapse. However, some
OF the strictly swell young people of the
city who received invitations to the af-

even seud regrets. This is true of manv
OF the older people as well, so it is to be
hoped that the whole of Fitzgerald will
not be judged by the actions of those not
so particular about the previous record
and character of their associates.

Will Bryant, negro boy, severely cut
Lou Jones, a negro woman, near Rich
land at night. 1t seems that Bryant
had just been paid off by his employer,
and Lou Jones, her sister, Ella Hall, and
two negro men, Joe Nowlen and Frank
Hall, tried to take his money from him.
One of the negro women threw her
apron or a piece of cloth of some kind
over Bryant's head and the others began
to beat him with sticks. Lou Jones at
tempted o use a knife. Bryant thought
his tine had come, SO he began to use a
knife, cutting a cash about seven inches
long in Louis breast, inflicting a very Sc
we're wound. Warrants have been sworn
out against all of the parties.
