MoRGANTowN WEST VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1897
Augusta County Bill.

The opponents Of the bill to create
the county of Augusta are beginning
to impress the members of the Legis-
lature of the justice of their insist
ence that the bill should not pass. IT
is admitted on all sides that the move
ment in the House of Delegates to
push the bill to second reading
smacked very strongly OF :" snap-judg-
meDt," and a number of members.
who are really opposed TO the bill,
voted for it under the conviction that
it was more for the purpose Of print
ing the bill for general information
than for any other purpose.
The opponents of the measure in
the House now demand that in justice
to the citizens of Marion, Monongalia
and Wetzel counties it would be
no more than proper and just to place
the bill back In the hands of the com.
mittee, in order that the people af-
fected may have an opportunity to
present their side Of the case.
1t is claimed that Marion county
does not at this time possess the re-
quired number of square miles to
constitute "a county under the terms
of the constitution, and to take from
it the area proposed in the bill would
be to reduce it to the dimensions OF
the smallest county in the State. 1t
has also developed that this claim is
substantiated by every official survey
obtainable at this time.
The people of Monongalia county
insist that the dissection of theft
county would be grossly unfair, and
not only reduce their area in the mat
ter of the constitutional requirement,
but take from them a section of peo-
pie which are not at all DESTROYS
of being separated from environ.
ments of such long standing To
add to the strength of the protest
of the Monongalia county people they
have offered to have complete survey
of the county made by disinterested
parties at the expense Of the county,
in order that it may be shown to tbs
satisfaction of all that their claim as tC
the matter of area is true and beyond
cayil.
But the lobby back.of the Augusta
county job has issued the edict that
no quarter is to be shown. They
imagine that because of the fact that
they were able to drive the bill to 8
second reading that they can whip il
though to a finish. In this they reck.
on without their hosts. The goot
sense of the present Legislature is toe
apparent to even suspect such an ac
tion on their part.
The real estate agents and specula
tors of muddyMannington, not to men
tion the budding politicians, who arr
putting on all pressure to secure tn,
passage of the measure will learn be
fore many hours that West Virginia
Legislature is competent at all times t,
do even-handed justice to all sections
and to keep within the bounds of the
constitution-Ch Charleston West Virgin

Just let man be elected President
and the toadies will at once establish
some sort of connection between
him and every man of the same
name who ever attained the slightest
prominence. The Mckinley stories
now being printed are proofs of this.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-02-20

A very good resolution has been
introduced into the legislature, that
should become law, to the effect
that no Incorporated company in
this State shall own exceeding 15,-
600 acres of land. The object is to
head off certain tannery companies
who wish to monopolize the bark
business of the State and keep out
the small fry tanneries, and the OBJ
ject is in every aspect commenda-
BILE one.

There are Republicans in Congress
who are not wise enough to burn up
the ocean, but they were all too wise
to be led by s'nigger" Murray, of South
Carolina, into scheme that might
have resulted in preventing the in
auguration of Mckinley.

yet after all physically and mental
ly, it is nothing but gathering in
to living form of inheritances of body
and of mind that have come down
through generations. Its later life
may convince you even that in some
instances those gifts from earlier
ages reach back to the days of saw
agery. 1t is for you and the teacher
to operate upon conditions as you
find them. Each child in a family
has peculiarities of its own. Each
little creature calls for individual
consideration, just as with each of
all the farms in your town. If the
attempt is made to treat all alike In
training and in control, the result is
disastrous and cruel This one needs
to be urged to self assurance; that
one to be held in check: here perfect
frankness must be used to counterfeit
lying tendency; there littlceftor
made to set too confiding nature
on its guard. Your failure to re
cognize all this means danger to the
child and demonstrates your unfit
ness for training.
know it will be said that it is
fearfully difficult to give this close
personal attention to each one. Ger
tainly it is. So is it much more
difficult to clear piece of land than
to leave it alone, but the farmer goes
to work with a hope of gain and the
eacher and parent should be actu-
ted by the same motive. But the
gain In the latter case is infinitely
above merely material profit. 1t re
presents the removal of bad tenden-
cies and the planting of grand pur-
poses that after being absorbed into
the being of the child shall be trans
mitted to generations yet unborn,
but over whose fate your influence
shall have been exerted. Is not
that reward enough?

A sailmaker's mate i'll the w who
wanted to get out of the service to e
into business with some money he had
fallen heir to made II success of the
monomania dodge. 1t is the business Of
a man-of-war s~ailmaker's mate to sew
up members of the crew who die at sCa
in hammocks preparatory to their be,
ing cast over the side. This s%ailmakcr's
mate appeared on deck one day with q
queer look in his eye and announced tc
his shipnlltes forward that he was dead
self for burial iii the deep. Some of the
men watched him rs he went 10 the
sailmaker's storeroom and began to sew
himself up in Il new hammock. When
he had got the job about half finished,
the men informed the officer of the deck
of the case, and the sailmakor's mate
was put under observation in double
irons. When he was released from the
brig, still under observation, but appar.
emily not aware of the espionage, he
went direct to the storcrooln, got an,
other hammock and began to enshroud
himself again. The skipper of the shil
reduced him to the rate of eaman fol-
this, for the purpose of keeping the man
away from the sailmaker's storeroom,
thinking that if he was removed from
the sight of the stored up hammocks
his mania might leave him. The night
of the day he lost his rate the ex-sail-
makers mate broke into the storeroom
where the new hammocks We're kept and
sewed himself up for burial again. Then
the fleet surgeons held II survey on him,
and he got his discharge. He started Il
tobacco store for sailors near one of the
navy yards, and for some time he made
it u practice to stand III the doorway OF
his shop and grin when any of the board
of surgeons who had pronounced him
insane passed by, as they were conlpell-
ed to do Oh their way to and from the
navy yard.-New York Sun.

finds, to he modification, that she is
ignorant Of all sorts of things connected
with farm life which to her country
cousins are matters of everyday knowl-

her ignorance.
At breakfast the following morning
she sees on the table Il dish of fine hon

There is a North Side s.rl who has a
! laudable ambition - know lust where
her money goes. She has tried two IT
three times TO keep mental track of her
expenditures, but this always proved
unsatisfactory. AT last she decided that
she must keep an exact and minute ac-
count of everything she spent. She got
herself a small book with rulings and
margins and Il pliable cover and set to
work in earnest. She put down reli-
giously everything she spent, the exact
amount, the article and the dutc. She
never allowed the slightest matter to 20
till there was a chance of her forget
ting it. When she made any purchases
down town, she went over the list care
fully i'll the car on her way home and
put the amounts OH the outside of a
package. III this way she succeeded in
keeping a very satisfactory record of
her expenditures.
There was only me drawback. Sho
was forever leaving the book around.
VI course there are Il great many people
who are only too glad to read such
things. The servant would see it. The
man who came to tune the piano might
easily have done it if he liked, and She
did not know whether he had or not. a
%neighbor had once picked it up on the
lawn in front of the house and brought
it i'll, but what was worse than all the
rest was the fact that IA couple Of girl
friends perused it day. There were
some things which she had talked Il
good deal about that she got for down
right bargains. In fact, after this catas-
trophe everything III her record seemed
to be shamefully cheap. However, she
was unwilling to give up the bookkeep-
ing, and if she didn't carry Il notebook
around with her She would certainly
forget something, So she Igthought her
self of another cXpcdicnt. She determine
ed for the purpose Of mystilicatiOn tC
multiply everything she put down by
ten-that is. to add a cipher to each en-.
try. IL this way she could always tell
that every item really cost onc-tenth Of
what appeared OH the book. After this
she didn't care who saw it.
There is Il lot at the side of her IA
Their s house and Il rustic seat. One day
she left the book on this seat. In the
evening the young man who had about
concluded to ask her hand in marriage
came along. He noticed the book, picked
it up and looked through it c~arelcssly.
He was amazed. She had always claim.
ed to be such Il prudent girl, and he had
believed she was. Still there he saw:
