The tax sale advertisement is publish
ed in this issue. While there is nomi-
nal increase in the number of town lots,
owing to replacing on the tax list some
lots heretofore sold to state and county,
the list of farm lands is much smaller

most Mill, and the list would have been
still smaller if the weather had permitted
earlier threshing. The lands are to be
sold on Tuesday, Dec. 9th.

Many enquiries are made as to our
last weeks cartoon Of "Me and Kneesh"
and in explanation we may say that the
week previous to election the Chrome
type published a poetical parody with
that title signed "F. A. W." but written
by 7. R. Shaw, Of this city, on political
topicts which are now by-gones and
therefore we do not care to republsh af-

fall of 1897. After an expensive trial
the verdict was set aside and the case
is still pending. Last grand jury at
Cumberland found two indictments
against the new company, the result OF
which has caused the stockholders and

several offers from other cities, and To-

this rather than be subjected to per-
petual annoyance and expense in de-

FAIRMONrr INDUSTRIAL.

Fairmont, w. Va, December "a
The year just drawing to close has
been one of the most successful in the
varied history of the operators OF this
region. Many new markets have sue
cumbed to West Virginia coal and no
strikes or dissensions of any kind have
occurred. The only drawback to the
most extensive development possible
has been a lack of cars. 1t is thought
the reorganization of the B. e o. will
end the delay with which the coal is
handled and take the loaded cars from
the yards at Wheeling and other places.
The results hoped for are being sub
stantially aided by President Camden
and Vice President F>ickinger, of the
Monongahela River railroad. Recent
ly they have arranged for and received
1000 new cars for the exclusive use of
the mines along their railroad. Five
hundred of these are the standard COM
bination coal gondola, the construction
Of which is such that it can be used
either as a fiat bottom or a drop bot
tom. These cars were built by the
Missouri car works at ST. Louis. The
other 500 are the standard hopper car,
and were built by the South Baltimore
car works. These cars are lettered the
same as B. & o. cars, except they bear
instructions that they must be re-
turned to the NJ. R. railroad at once.
These cars have all been received and
are running in the trade. In addition
to this a deal has just been closed
with the South Baltimore car works
for 1000 more combination gondola
cars for this road. This makes 1000
additional cars for next season, all
equipped with air brakes and automatic
couplerS.
The mines at MonOngah are being
improved by steam box car loader, a
new electric locomotive, and a new
generator. These mines employ be-
tween 1000 and LOO men at the pres
ent time. The company is now OPEN
ing new mine 1.-THE Monongah No. 81,
which will be opened in the spring.
1t will be 1900 ton mine, and the
station will be known as Middleton.
The Highland mine just above this has
just begun operations, but only en-
ploys sixteen men as yet. It is doing
about six cars per day. It is owned
by A. J. Ruckman, J. H. Wheelwright,
]. c. Mckinley and the heirs of S. A..
Barnes. They have leased 5000 acres
of coal of Senator Camden and own 40
acres of surface.
The Prichard mine has been aban-
doned as all the coal has been taken
out.
A new mine is being opened at An

FORCED DISCARlDS

Forced discardS are often source or
trouble to players. Most double-dummy
problems turn upon this feature OF
play, and at the whist table the prob
lem Of what card or cards to let go is
not infrequently perplexing one. In
case of doubt certain fundamental
principles should not be lost sight of.
1t is easy enough to part with abso-
lutely worthless cards when the Oppo-
nents are playing trumps or a long
suit which they have succeeded In
bringing in, having care, of course,
not to utterly blank an unplayed suit.
For, if this is done, the adversaries are
enabled to finesse against partner in
that suit with deadly effect. The real
difficulty comes when a decision has
to be made between throwing away
from your own suit or from an unplay-
ed one in which you hold a possible
stopper the previous play having
afforded no indication of where the
strength of such suit may lie. Under
these conditions the temptation is very
great to hold on to the whole OF q
strong-perhaps enthusiastically, ana
trust the defence of the weaker one to
partner.
Such play is not safe. 1t may win
occasionally when partner happens to
be exceptionally strong in the suit you
unguard, being thus enabled to obtain
the lead quickly and having also a card
or cards of your suit to throw you.
But it is against probability, and the
man who bets ON the small end of the
chances will lose in the long run either
at whist or at Monte Carlo. When the
long trumpS are with the adversaries,
or when trumps are dead and oppon
ents are Keeling off an established suit
upon which you must make discards,
conservative tactics are in order.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
In the absence of any definite knowl-
edge as to what may be safely thrown
away, keep weak suits, headed by
queens, jacks, or even tens, intact as
long as possible. Better lose a trick
by parting with a card of your strong
suit than risk loss of three or four
by unguarding possible stopper"
in the other, thus perhaps enabling the
opponents, by a couple of high-card
swings, to catch everything in sight
and bring in the small cards of a sec
ond suit against you. In short, when
strong, play for everything in the
hand; when weak, aim to block the
other fellows grabbing propensities.
That is both common sense and sound
whist.-William A. Potter, in Provi-
dence Journal.

Rowlesburg, W. Va, December "a
The surveyors have completed the pre-
liminary survey for the new railroad to
be built from Rowlesburg to the rich
coal fields in the upper end OF Reno
district and find that seven and half
miles carries them from the Balu-
more and Ohio railroad at Rowlesburg
into the famous, large veins OF coal
which exist in that region The civil
engineers of this proposed line expect
to complete the survey and run the
levels this week, and the company say
tehy expect to run trains over this line
by May next. The discovery of this
new and immense coal fields, coupled
with the large fields previously ascer-
tanned, puts Preston Hounty ahead in
the list OF coal in West Virginia. 1t
not only has the greatest number OF
acres containing coal, but the quality
is unexcelled for both steam and gas
and cooking purposes.

I greatly fear that some OF my tenn
perance readers. when they see that
wine is on my menu for both Christmas
and New Years, will think this very
wrong; but surely this privilege should
be allowed US on the two most i'm
portant holidays of the year, and IL my
friends will only believe me, little
wine taken in moderation at dinner,
occasionally. is one of the best slim
ulants for the system; il sharpens

feeling toward one another, which. II
probably commenced on New Years

Walter Scott has said, "a slight flip
of wine inclines people to be pleased,
disposes them, in short, to be amusing
and amused" The faculty of Paris,

the finest and healthiest OF all wines;
and, one OF the safest wines that can
be taken. IL great quantity, of
course, is taken. its Intoxicating eff
feets are rapid, but of short duration.
However, the wine glasses of to-day,

even if the wine is replenished three or
four times, there is no danger of any
very serious results.
