War and Its Results.

After our season was over last fall the
Hotel was closed for the winter. Re-
Gently discovered the house was in
tested with rats, they were destroying
the bedding and bed clothes and max
ing havoc of everything. RAT CHEESE
was recommended; I tried it and was
surprised at the marvellous result. In
few days there was not a rat about
the place, they seemed to have left the
barns and out houses as we'll as the Ho-
tel. Every one who is pestered with
rats or mice should try Rat Cheese at
once; it did the work quickly and well

Doubt" said Gen. Watts, THAT Mr..
Bryan is as strong with the Democrats
of West Virginia as he was in 1896. If
there had been anything like fair ex-
preston of the will of the voters in that
campaign he would have carried the
State, but his friends were powerless
against the methods employed by the
opposition. The financial plank of the
Chicago platform is still in favor with
the West Virginia Democracy, for the
single gold standard has not brought
the prosperity to our people which its
advocates promised. Since the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act our financial sky has been
clouded, and there is no prospect of
betternment as long as the present sys-
tenn is maintained.

on the health of the mother, both be-
fore and after birth. Most all of wo.

weakness that most strongly influences

Highland county is looking up in an
educational point, there will be some
fifteen OF twenty young ladies and
gentlemen sent away this year to co..
leges and high schools. One trouble
about educating our youth is so few of
them remain in the county after they
receive their education. / Can name
twenty or more of Highland s soas who
have been educated and occupy good
positions away from home. Did you ever
have it called to your attention that a
latger per cent of the educated people
from the mountain districts turn out
better than from other communities.
Highland county needs high school
OF classical school very much. There is
a fine opening for such a school in
Monterey. A great many mo e parents
would educate their children if they
could do so without sending them so
far away from home. Our people are
very much disappointed that Hon. 9.
P. Jones was not appointed to the
vacant judgeship caused by the death
of Judge Mclaughlin. We make no
objection to Mr.. Letcher, but we think
our little county ought sometimes to
be honored with an office, and especially
