WHAT TO DO ON THE FARM IN WINTER.

WHAT TO DO ON THE FARM IN WINTER.
While the thrifty farmer will in
winter ease up advantageously from
much of the driving pressure incid-
ent to summer, fall and spring, it is
not wholesome for man or beast to
be entirely idle at any tims. Neith-
er is it profitable to be so, and the
very large majority of tillers of the
soil, and not only they but those en-
gagged in any business, find it nee
essary to be generally employed at
all times. Many mechanics, car
penters, etc., knock off altogether
because winter is not as favora-
bic as summer for their work. But
who ever knew a merchant a trader
to lock up their stores in a dull time?
No, they know better than to forego
the small trade they do in the dull
est time of year. So the enterpris-
ing agriculturist will keep pretty
busy all through the winter.
Those who do little or nothing,
but visit and spend money for three
or four months of the most incle-
ment seasons, are pretty sure to get
badly left behind in the race for
even comfortable competence.
Besides I" idleness is emptiness p;
the tree in which the sap is stag
nant, remains fruitless.
Again, "what heart can think, or
tongue express, the harm that
groweth of idleness.
Ploughing in the fall and winter
months when possible has been and
is almost universally commended.
1t is very generally decided that the
action of frost on the upturned soil
is really beneficial. Besides, it is
just delightful in the pressure of
spring work to find several fields
ploughed and all ready to plant at
the earliest possible moment. Also
this early start in spring will be felt
all the summer through, / am Of
ten reminded by the example of a
formerly adjoining neigbbor who
was noted for earliness and being
forward in everything, his crops al
ways showing up accordingly.
Then again the small farmers who
do most of their own work can sur
prisingly take time by the forelock
in spring, by doing all the plough
ing possible in fall and winter.
Keeping the manure we'll hauled
out, having a sufficient quantity of
wood prepared, repairing all the
tools, and if the ground becomes
bare and frost lets up a little, stones
can be hauled off and any other de
bris, so as to greatly relieve the pres
sure of hard spring and summer
work and forward everything.
OF course calling and visiting and
all necessary business and running
about can be disposed of during the
season of comparative leisure.
'Take time by the forelock ~
Yes, We all must be trying to do
this from the beginning to the end
of the year, or rank among the lit
tie behind hands.
$50 to the ant thou sluggard, con-
slider her ways and be wise" What
a perfect example is contained in
this injunction Perhaps the ants
excel even the honey bee in in
dustry. resolution and perseverance,.
Well consider her ways then agri-
eulturist, and if you follow them
with any degree of vim and tenacity,
you will certainly succeed.

contracts and furnish good, pure
ice. made of distilled water, to
the citizens of Clarksburg cheap

handle the natural ice. Just
where the company will locate
its plant has not been decided,
but it will probably be at the
west end of town near the Monon-

GOVERNOR LOWNDES
Rstlrss From The Maryland Senatorial
Flight. Endorses Judge MeCanas'
Candidacy. "A VERY Candid
Statement.

Governor Lowndes has with.
drawn from the Senatorial con-
test. Speaking of the Senatorial
situation, and his position in re-.
gard to it. the Governor says ):
This conclusion L have reached
after carefully considering the
circumstances surrounding my
nomination by the Republican
party for the Office I hold and the
circumstances under which / was
elected to that Office.
l shall not attempt to conceal
the fact that I have had an ambi.
ton to represent my State in the
Senate OF the United States, and
1 have SO publicly expressed
myself. But I wish it distinctly
understood that it was never my
intention as has been insinuated,
to use my Office as Governor of
this State in the manner which
has been attributed to me. l be-
lieve that if I desired to use the
patronage of my Office to make
myself the Senator from Mary
land it could be done. l think
those who know me feel that
rather than crafty any desire ]
may have had to be Senator from
Maryland by the prostitution of
the office 1 hold for my own per-
sonal advancement, | would re-
signit tomorrow and never again
enter public life.
Governor Lowndes was asked
what his ideas were regarding
the Senatorial race, and what.
would be the effect of his with
drawal. He said:
Judge McComas has a strong
following. he is eminently quali-
fed to represent Maryland in the
Senate of the United States"

WILLIAMS MORRIS.

What seems rather a remark
able event took place at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w, M. Morris
at Mount Glare on last Tuesday,
December 2sth. A special car
without about twenty-five guests,
the immediate friends of the
bride. arrived at IL 20 o'clock
to witness the ceremony that
was to make Miss Nettie Morris
the wife of Mr.. Edwin Williams,
of Louisville, KY. AT high noon
instead of the ceremony, a mar
rage certificate was read by
Rev. W. II. Wentz, certifying
that they had been married on
the 31st of last August at Nash
vile, Tenn, during the EXPOSE
ton. This was quite a surprise
to her many friends, as it had
been kept very quiet. But while
they were discussing what a joke
she had treated them to, the
minister asked for their atten-
ton and this time produced a
second certificate. which read
that on the 18th day of July,
1897, Henry Basel and Dora
Morris had been married at Oak
land. This was the greatest sur
prise of all, not only to a few
friends present, but the members
Of the family. Mr.. Basel has
been employed as bookkeeper for
a lumber company at Hardwood,
w. Va, since last June.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams will
leave Friday morning for Sellers
burg, Ind, their future home.

MAY HAVE HYDROPHOBlA.
A Hog Bitten BY a Mad Dog Spreads the
PoIsun-Tha Doctors at Sea.

Considerable excitement has
been caused at Newport, o.,
by the report that several people
have been affected by eating the
meat of a hog which was bitten
several months ago by dog,
which was supposed to have hyd-
rophobia.
About three months ago a dog
belonging to an old man went
mad and before it could be put
out of the way, it bit several
other dogs, cows and a horse or
two. Allo these animals show
ed signs of going mad and were
promptly killed. A hog belong
ing to Asa Bevans was blt5en by
the rabid canine, but as 1t never
showed any signs of hydrophobia
nothing was thought of it. Its
owner fattened it in time and
then butchered it. The meat
was sold to different families in
the neighborhood, and among
others who purchased it was
Henry Mackelfresh.
Several days ago Mrs. Mackel-
fresh began to be afflicted with
something resembling epileptic
fits. Physicians were called in,
but could not get at the seat OF
the trouble. The story of the
mad dog was revived and it is
now believed that her peculiar
illness is due to eating the hog
meat, which was affected with
hydrophobia, although it had
never shown it.
Other people who ate of the
meat are considerable worried
over the affair.

The little town of Grantsville
is again stirred up over the sud-
den and unexplained disappear
ance Of Mrs. A. g. Blair. the wife
of a prominent doctor of that
place. 1t seems as though the
couple had agreed to disagree
once before, but a few weeks ago
became reconciled and it was
supposed that all differences had
been adjusted, and no reason can
be assigned for her sudden de-.
parture at this time. On last
Wednesday she went to Harris
vile for a few days visit,-but
she didn't visit-she just hired a
team and drove to Ellensboro.
where she took an east bound
train without buyinga ticket, and
it is said she is now living with
friends IN ClarkSDurR. Inc
Pennsboro Ne,0s says
"Dr. Blair followed her as soon
as her absence became SUSPECT
Gus and came to Pennsboro on
Wednesday night. He sad they
had no trouble and could give no
reason for her escapade. He
scoffed at the suggestion that
there would be any other man IN
the case. but was at a loss for
any explanation of his wife's con
duct and was nearly broken
hearted. This time public SYM
pathy is entirely with DR.. Blair"
