GO LIVE ON A FARM.
There Freedom, Health and Happiness
Await Your Coming.

The person who does not love life
of his nature by being cast out of
the garden of Eden at an early period
of his life, to be artificially reared on
the sights, sounds and smells of the
streets, alleys and sewers of some city.
He knows nothing of real home life
cities have very little-as rule, only
number so-and-so, such street; he
has very little sense of home joys and
affections; the pure air and water
of the country; its holy quietudes; its
gentle appeals to all the senses; its
solitude, where tumult and mob never
intrude; it's delightful woods, it's
sports and pleasures; its loves and
friendships, undefiled by the dust and
CRIME of crowded tenements and
thronged thoroughfares; its scared
privacies and seclusions; its leisure,
its freedom and independence from
the intrusions and demands of hur-
rying urban life and its sacred ex-
emptions from the gross contacts
and associations of the bustling and
shCuldering streets-all these, and
more akin to them, make the rural
existence perpetual delight, unde-
fled by the conditions that attend
the constant pressure of mixed ano
crowded population.
The farm Is not bonanza, but it
feeds the world. To one accustomed to
1t its labors are easy and healthy; its
Incidents are interesting; it's rests,
changes and relaXations, with eX-
changes of visits, always full OF
recreation; its crops engage continual
care and attention, with daily vi
cissitudes of weather that never
destroy hope and even cheer with
promise of fruition, and at the last,
with garnered crops, it affords you
plenty, with a roaring fire under
your own roof-happy in being mon
arch of all you survey, despite the
struggles for bread in the cities and
the never ending exertions and
woes inseparable from style and its
silly rivalries. Go back to the
country, young man! Go home to the
farm. Seize the pillow and become an
independent and happy man, though
you may miss wealth, fashion and
luxury. Norfolk Pilot,

SHARPSHOOTERS.
No Provision Made for Them in the
Present War.

In the preparations for the present
war;" observed a veteran to Star
reporter, 81 have failed to, see that
any provision has been made for
sharpshooters, though sharpshooters
played very important part in the
last war. OF all kinds of army men,
sharpshooters were the most in
dependent. They seldom, mustered
and never had to drill, but wandered
about to suit their own tastes, con-
Meeting themselves with such regi-
ments as they desired or as asked
for them. | was with Sherman on his
march to the sea, and at lots Of
places during and before that march
our command had to use sharpshoot-
ers. The Johnny Rebs had a way Of
making themselves very annoying to
our men, while out on picket duty or
when engaged in. going to the springs
and wells for water, by popping away
at them. There did not seem to be
any way to stop it until our regi-
ment got two or three of Berdan's
sharpshooters detailed with US. The
sharpshooters would generally climb
up tree or get high place some
where, and with the aid of their field
glasses would pick out the places
where the annoyance came from. They
took a special delight in picking out
and killing the fellows who would
shoot man while going down to a
spring or we'll to get drink of water.
My own experience was that the
sharpshooters, though there was not
much dress parade in their makeup
or evolutions. performed in their way
more than double the amount of SER
vice that the ordinary soldier did or
could do. They were handy in
many ways, though maybe their war
fare was not strictly legitimate. -

A SUCCESSFUL WRITER

ture and journalism. l mean his
financial success. His artistic sue
cess is not yet to, be considered, for
the simple reason that it is non-ex-
istent. But newspapers and popular
magazines hire him and publish
nearly everything he cares to write
He is hopelessly Indifferent to detail.
His matter is mass Of errors of
style and statement, yet his earnings
are said to be at least $4,000 a year
from all sources. He is but now in
lis. thirty-f1fth year, and has had all
the advantages that could accrue to a
young man whose father was editor of
The Philadelphia Ledger and whose
mother was Rebecca Harding. 1t
cannot be said that he has wasted
his talents, but the chances are that
he never will improve on Gallagher,
his first born. And l have never been
able to find much in Gallagher except
his "go."-New York Press.

IN PREV S COLLISIONS.
La Bourgogne Ran Into Steamer in
1890 and One Two Years Ago.

La Bourgogne which went down in
a collision near Halifax with a load
of $50 souls had former mishaps. In
1890 she almost met the same fate
that has now overtaken her, and,
curiously enough, it was a British
ship that she ran into that time also.
The French liner had left Harve jan
uary I, and at midnight was off the
Scilly islands. 1t was then blowing q
hurricane, when suddenly the British
steamer Torridon, bound for Glasgow,
headed directly across her bow. The
Frenchman crashed into the steamer,
striking her stern, carrying away her
propeller and otherwise damaging
her, She escaped with slight injuries,
and the English vessel, after La
Bourgogne had lain by her all night,
was able to proceed to the nearest
port.
In February, 1896. La Bourgogne
collided with the steamer Ailsa, in
the narrows of New York harbor. off
Fort Wadswortt. The Ailsa sank be-
fore she could be run aground. The
Ailsa's sailors, mostly Spaniards and
Italians. acted with the greatest
cowardice, taking possession Of the
only available life boat and beating
of the women passengers. The pas
sergers were thrown into the rigging.
from which they were subsequently
rescued by tugs. The French ship's
injuries were slight.

political outlook in West Virginia
'.we are going to win because we
deserve to win. We deserve to
win because the National and
State administrations have been
faithful to their trusts. They
have served the people faithfully
and honestly. / thinkI know
something Of the history o. this
State, and / say emphatically
that this State never had q more
faithful, conscientious and econ
omical administration than the
present one" 1t is matter OF
fact, confirming Mr.. Dawson's
assertions, that the conduct OF
the State officers has been with
a view to guarding the States
interests from an economical
standpoint, and the laws have
been executed faithfully and
honestly. reports of the various
State officers, when presented to
the public, will bear this out.
Few men in the State are more
familiar with the past legislative
history of West Virginia and the
affairs of the government Of the
State than Secretary of State
Dawson. He is capable of max
ing comparisons, and they are
very likely to be made from the
official ecords.-Intelli9encer.

THE TELEGRAM takes this oppor-

The TELEGRAM takes this oppor-
tunity to express its high appre-
citation of the manner in which
the Republicans of Harrison coun-
ty responded TO the call to take
an interest in the nomination of
candidates for county offices. We
asked the people to turn out and
attend the primaries, and then
for the delegates, selected,to come
to the convention and make a
ticket for all the people, regard
less Of any bosses or machine
men. The result was just as we
predicted and hoped it would be.
The people took prominent
part, and the bosses, good natur-
eddy let them play havoc with
all States aud set.up games. Now
the Democrats will be lost for an
issue. They had intended to cry
out that the Republican ticket
was made by a ring and by the
bosses. The ''ring" they have
tried so long to locate was not in
evidence on the day of the con
vention, but a number of brave,
fearless Republican workers, be-
fore whom our Democratic friends
have SO often fled in terror, were
there, some for one candidate
some for another, but all determ-
ined to help elect the ticket that
should be nominated. Many
delegates from the county came
expecting to have a firightful col
lision with the socalled Court
House Ring" They went away
declaring that the ring cry was
fraud. The court house officials
and the old members of the eX-
ecutiye committee were having a
friendly contest, and joined the
country people in infusing en-
thusiasm and life and energy into
the convention. The people ruled
and the entire ticket will be
elected. The "rins" is no more
it is torn asunder and busted"
but every fragment of it will be
found voting an unscratched and
unsullled Republican ballot in
November, and an old time vic
tory will be ours.
