Mrss RAnpwIN,s NOTION.

In Frank Stout the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children and
the Society for Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals have an agent who serves
their best interests with untiring zeal
and fidelity, and yet with discrimina-
tion which demonstrates that he is the
possessor Of his full share Of that eX-
cellent quality known as horse sense.
The Wayfarer has known him person
ally for several years, and during that
time has been much impressed by the
cleverness with which he has covered
the large extent of territory allotted tC
him by the friends of suffering chill
dren aud dumb animals. He receives
more or less public cooperation in hl'
good work, but it should be more gen
eral. In conversation with the Way

unwlllingness of persons to appear II

COUNTY SEAT BUDGET.

Middlebourne, March ro.-The
old town had quite a hustling ali
about the streets today. The roads
have been almost impossible all
winter and our merchants have
been crampec for supplies of all
kinds. Since the good weather
opened up they have secured every
available team in town and around
town to haul their goods, and from
four to six four horse wagon loads
have been coming in for the last
week. They pay about sixty cents
a hundred for hauling, and it
takes two days to make the
trip. Taking all these mat
tiers in consideration, is there any
reasonable man when he thinks the
matter over carefully and calmly,
in any of the districts who are to
vote on the proposition Of subscrip-
ton to the capital stock of the Sis
tersville and Salem railroad who
will vote against it. Let each man
study the question thoroughly and
carefully and Re will most assuredly
vote for it.
