We arrived a. Kenova at tbs

We arrived at Kenova at 7:I5
where we changed cars. 1t was like
entering summer land when we
reached KY. The whole country
was clothed in springs bright gar
ments. Fruit trees, Hyacinths, and
Easter Lilies were in full bloom, and
we saw no prettier country than the
level grass fields ofthe Scioto Valley.
henova and Cattlettsburg ale both
pretty little cities, situated on the
banks of the treacherous Ohio, which
stream OF water we followed for one
hundred aud fifty-five miles, at the
rate OF sixty miles an hour. The
towns are so thick along it's banks
that we could see from one to an
other, and the whole valley was
Hooded. The main r. K. was four
feet under water in some places, and
many Of the houses were filled to
the second story. From Portsmouth
to Cincinnati.we saw quite a number
OF large boats and steamers. At the
little town OF Augusta wo saw some
customers row into "a store and the
clerk stood on the county and waited
on them In rubber boots Each
house had its gondola anchored near
by, and in our minds we named the
entire country Venice Next we
come to the busy city of Cincinnati,
where the Ohio is two miles wide
and deeper than ever in the houses
stores. Here we had to change cars.
We were ''rustled"into the depot and
told to sit there until called for.
In our next letter we will tell you
how long we staid, how we were
transferred to the "Bie Four" station,
aud take you with us ''out West"

DELINQUENT Lam DS.

There are as many people inter-
ested in the taxpaying business in
this country, as in any other line of
industry and apropos of this sub
ject we propose to pick our first
quarrel with the present legislature
of Virginia. Just why they have
arranged delinquent tax law that
gives the scurvy speculator an op-
portunity to double or perhaps treble
the tax that may have become de-
linquent through ordinary neglect
is impossible to conceive, and past
finding out.
If the new regulation has any
merit, we have been unable to ap.
preciate it. 1t was patent to the
darkest intelligence that it would
place the taxpayer in way at the
mercy of any sordid person mean
enough to attend delinquent tax
sales, to speculate on its provisions
to the injury of the already over
burdened taxpayer.

BAILEY ITEMS.

How gladly we welcome the sun
shine again, and hope that nature
in all her beauty will soon come
forth.
Death again visited our midst and
claimed as its victim, our friend and
neighbor, Gordon Saunders.
Rev. W. w. Pyott preached a
good sermon Sunday evening, after
which our brother was tenderlv
borne to his last resting place by the
Masonic Order.
Miss Salli e Wagner, who had
been visiting her sister, Mrs. G. H.
Bailey, of Stellar, returned last
Sunday. We felt troubled when she
tod us she had been suffering very
much from heart effection. Palpi
tation of the heart, believe, yet we
hope IL will no. prove serious.
Miss Jennie Bailey has a very in
teresting IN usc class. She hopes by
the time we get our organ for the
church, that they will all be able to
creditably play for services. Nav
they succeed to this end.
Rev. w. w. Pyott, assisted by
Rev. ID. A. Daugherty, began a
meeting at Macedonia last Sunday
and will continue through this
week.
j. E. Wagner, Hoge Wagner, and
Ed Wagner, Jr., will leave this place
today for Davy, ". Va, to engage in
surveying lands. We hope j. Els
wife and babies will not get lone
some.
Oh 1T rends our hearts and par
alyze our hopes, to even think of
the coming war. Yet as there is no
gain except by loss, we must quietly
submit.

last Sunday. Come again Mamie

FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1898
THE SITUATION.

AS we go TO press the situation
is that which proceeds conflict
of arms. The ultim alum of the
United States has been received
at Madrid, and ere now their min
lister has ''reeeived his passport
and has joined his family in the
Riviera. The Spanish Minister
has also left Washington, thus
effectually" breaking diplomatic
relations between the two count
ries" which means war. Before
our next issue it is probable that
hostilities will have begun. May
God defend the right.

THE HIGHER LAW AND POPULAR SEN.
TIMENT.

Some weeks ago we said that our
only justification we could find for
intervention in Cuban affairs was
III appealing TO law higher than
the law of nations-the law of
heaven. The resolutions agreed
upon IN Congress show this TO be
absolutely, our sole reliance. True
these resolutions advert 10 the
Maiue incident, but by bungling
diplomacy we have lost the van.
tage ground that affair would
have given us with the powers.
We have taken our stand however.
we champion an oppressed people,
and fortunately we are not COM
mitted to the recognition of the
SO called Cuban government. 1t
remains for us now to remember
that the fight is our fight no mat
ter what be the result, and that
the end aimed at is liberty and
humanity. There should be no divi-
sion. of sentiment, and if disaster
overtakeS our arms there should
be no discrimination. The vote
shows that all parties and sub
division apparatus are united for
the struggle. If other nations
should arm against us, and war
always hOrrible-should become
prolonged and disastrous let Ms
have no croaking and no taunting.
This is to be essentially a popular
war-a war precipitted by an
overwhelming public sentiment.

SINGULAR THINGS.

"There area few singular things
connected with the election of the
new Democratic Executive Com
mittee in this district. The Hon.
Murray F. smith, of Vicksbur.g
and the Hon. Jas. X. Vardama q .,of
Greenwood, two of the bitter, EST
critics of Governor McI.Aavur in,
were by force of circunGstam ces
defeated for membership of the
committee. The name of Scott
does not appear on tho list of com
mitteemen, while James K. N'arda-
man, for committeeman, and Fat
Henry for Congress, received ex-
actly the same number of votes,
197T-both a little short. of the
necessary votes to win. Z 1reenvilIe
Democrat.
The above clipping from the
Greeyille Democrat is for from
being ingenious. The editor
knew that Mr.. V ardaman was de-
feated as a me- .nber of the com
mittee becaus sc his name was left
off of the ticket in Sunfower
by oyersl' ght. He also knew that
the ma me of Sect" did not APP
pear IN the list of committeeman,
Decf use no one of that name was a
CO .ndidate for the position. We
will add, however, for his further
information, that the three coun-
ties of Bolivar, Coahoma and Quit
man, where the SCOTS reside,
each gave a majority in favor of
the levee champion. While men
toning "a few singular things as
lconnected with the election, the
editor of the Greenvllle Democrat
| failed to call attention to the fact
| that Mr.. L. Pink Smith was de-
feated for committeeman in his
Iown county by vote of something
ike 500 majority. However there
is nothing very singular about
that. for which reason, we presume.
lit escaped his attention. Bolivar
County Democrat.
