HOME AFFAIRS.

Franklin county, Pa. farmers were
maid over 81 500 by the Martins
burg. w. Va. cannery people for to-
matoes furnished them this year.
About ,, 500 bushels went from that
county to Martinsburg.
The above correct item is floating
about among the newspapers. 1t con
tains a text for a sermon on the i'm
portance of looking after home inter
ests. Those Franklin county farmers
believe, and truly, that the Martins
burg people profted somewhat by
reason OF the fact that the tomatoes
were canned here. Acting on that
idea they intend to have cannery OF
their own. They are right. They
know there is big money in growing
tomatoes. They are again right.
Berkeley county farmers do not fully
appreciate the advantage they possess
in having a cannery almost at their
doors. They do not grow one-tenth
of the tomatoes they could or should
grow. No other crop pays so well.
Diversified farming has made the
North rich. The South has stuck to
cotton, corn and wheat and is poor
dog poor, compared to the North.
Send northern farmer South and he
is rich man before his neighbors
know it. Send a southern farmer
North and he starves to death.
Asked his opinion OF Connecticut,
the writer oil this said: you Van
KEGS are obliged to be smart in order
to dig living out of this God forsak-
en- country" Quick came the retort;
THAT is the handsomest compliment
we ever received" Nowhere in West
Virginia is there a region halt SO des-
olate as the Nangatuck valley, yet
that valley supplies the world with
clocks, cheap watches, safety pins,
granite iron ware, copper kettles,
hammers, and hundred other arti-
Giles found in every home. All made
by water power on the banks OF
stream not nearly equal to the Ope-
quon.
Another thought: Martinsburg
people are the most profigate in the
world. They are always on an ex-
cursion somewhere 1t is said they
spent S.. 600 at the last Hagerstown
Fair. That money was all wasted so
far as reaping real benefits were con-
cerned. We do not wish to be under
stood as Directing to the people hav-
ing a good time. But it is not amiss
to assert that Hagerstown people
would not rush to Martipsburg in
such crowds had we a worlds fair
here.
Look out for home interests-home
newspapers, stores, factories, church
es, schools, roads, everything. 1t
will pay. If the money spent on ex.
cursious two years was put into a
fair, we could easily rival Hagers-
town, or if spent in starting factories
all could have plenty of work at good
wages.

HUMBER OR CARLSON.
Probable Appointments on the
Water Board Today.

"8teF IOOays
Mayor Doran, asked last evening for
the name of the neN member of the
water board, said he really could not
give 1t out as he had not been inform
ed whether the gentleman selected
would serve" He expected to hear as
to the intentions Of the gentleman this
morning, but until then would not
make the name public.
A county official who evidently had
discussed the matter with Mayor
Doran, said 1t was dollars to dough-
nuts that the new water commissioner
would be either Patrick W. Hudner
or J. M. Carlson, and he was of the
opinion Hudner would be the one The
mayor, 1t Is claimed, promised in De-
cember, 1896, that he would appoint
practical plumber on the board, and
as he failed to keep his promise then,
is to make 1t good now. Hudner was
the choice of the Plumbers association,
who sent a delegation to the mayor
several weeks ago in his favor

Henry Neff one Of the grocery firm

a stalwart Republican. Mr.. Arosin Is
reported as being candidate for nomi-
nation as county treasurer next fall
and his friends claim that he accepted
the appointment on the fire board for
the reason that he feared his remaining
in the assembly would handicap him
too heavily for the fall election
Under the law the mayor has the ap-
pointing Of one Of the members of the
council as a director of the public
library Mr. Arosin was the represen-
tative Of the council selected by the
mayor and the point is now raised that
with his retirement from the assem-
bly, the mayor will have to name a
new man as a library director. One Of
the city officials stated last evening
that the matter had been looked up,
and that Mr.. Arosip would remain on
the board until the term for which
he was elected to the assembly had
expired.

Victim of the stabbing Promises to

Little Harry Holm, who a week ago yes

KERN, as was told in the G o b of yester-
day, rested comfortably at his home 436
Banfll street, throughout Sunday. The wound
is very near the heart and though the knife
blade missed the vital organ, 1t is thought
to have slightly punctured the left lung, this
fact rendering the lads condition from day
ment of the last two days, however, leads the
physicians attending the boy to hope for his
recovery. AS yet no investigation of the
stabb.ng has been made by the police The
fact that young Holm is said to have mar
