To the Public.

I am still in the livery and fee d business. It is my means of mak- ing living, but it appears ther @ is an effort being made to driv @ me out of the business by requir- ing the travelling public to take their teams to the hotel barns. Now, I do not wish to go into the hotel business. but find it neces- sary and will hereafter keep first class eating house, at which the public win find clean rooms. nice beds and plenty to eat at the most reasonable figures. Live and let live is my motto.
 Respectfully,
 T. 0. WALKER.

Advice to Voters.

Next Monday you will be called upon to exercise the highest priye. lege ot a citizen of a free govern. ment-the right to choose the men who shall manage tho affairs of our local government. It is to be hoped that you have the good of the county xt heart when you make up your ticket. The ballot is the expression of every mans will as regards who shall act for him in public capacities. No man should vote for another whom he would not trust to transact his own business. A mans political views have nothing to do with hls fitness for the administration of the affairs of a local office. A man can make just 2as good a record and be just as honest, no matter what views he may have on the the tariffaor currency ques- tions. These things only effect us nationally.
 The name democrat is not a passport sufficiently broad to qual- fly 8 man for local office, nor is the name republican enough to condemn him to defeat.
 Give these questions the eonsld- eration they deserve and lay down your prejudices, if you have any, when you go to make up your county ticket next Monday.

In MemOriam.

Miss Martha M. A. Ham was born in Mississippi August 22nd, 1849, and was moved to Searcy county, Arkansas, in 1853.
 In February, 1868, she professed a hope in the Lord, and in May, 1869, she joined the old Predestin- arian Baptist Church and was bap- tised by Parson o. A. Maberry, a well.known minister of that faith, and was an orderly walking member of that faith for 29 years till it was Gods will to call her away.
 July 18th. 1869. she was mar married to w. H. Lawrence by O.. Maberry. In January, 1874, she moved to the eastern part ot Car roll county and resided there at one place in peace and happiness "A years, 5 months and 26 days. She made good, kind and loving companion for 29 years and II days, and it was Gods will to take her away. She left a lone- some companion and II children to weep over the absence of a companion and mother. She died July 26, 1898.

The Hero of tho Camp.

The war is over, or nearly so. It is doubtful if the thousands of brave men who responded to thelr country's call have been waiting impatiently in camps at Tampa, Chickamauga, Camp Alger and elsewhere to be called into active service, will ever see fighting, says the Cincin. nati Commercial-Gazette. Before long thousands of them will come home and take up their daily oc. equations, earning their living as they did before they enlisted. Many of those who went away, alas, will never come, for levers and accidents have cut down here and there many a soldier who would have proven himself a hero had he the opportunity. Would he had done SO? Cannot a man then be a hero without the accom- panlment of shell and bullets, smoke and death in the air He can; and it is just these heroes who laid down their lives for their country; not on the battlefield, but in the camp, we would call atten- ton. Abate nothing in praise and honor of the men who did; but let us give just praise and love and honor also to the men who would have done. The soldier who, struggling helplessly against ty- phoid, malarial or yellow fever, gives up his life at last, should not be passed over quickly when the roster of the men who died for their country is made up. They braved not shot and shell, because tate willed otherwise, but their courage and their patriotism was just as real and just as endearing as those who got to the front. With tho sorrewing ones whose boys come back to them not "with but on their shield," the nation should mourn; for the life laid down, whether it be on battlefield or in camp, is lite laid down for country, none the loss.
 Honor, then, to the camp heroes those men who have suffered and died for the stars and stripes as truly as those whose lives were ended by shot and sharpnel'

 Little Exie, daughter of Robt. Blasingame, was severely bitten bys cat Tuesday morning. She was playing with the kitten when it was seized by fit and the ani- mal buried its teeth in her hand, and held fast until it's jaws were pried open. In getting the cat loose Robert received 8 bite or two also. The cat was promptly killed, but they feared the possibiI- ity of it having had hydropbobia. and MT. B. took the little girl out to Wills Christain's and had the mad stone applied to the affected places, but without result. He feels quite confident now that the cat did not have hydrophobia,

GRAFTON, W. Va, Nov. 16.-At this
hou-. II O'Clock p. M, the recount OF
the ballots cast at the election in this
county has not been completed, but 50
far us It has been done, there are some
surprising results-very surprising to
Republicans. as X looks now as though
the Republican candidate for the house
Of delegates, who had majority of 81
on the face of the returns. would be
counted out
Thirteen OF the nineteen precincts OF
the county have been recOnnted, which
has resulted In net loss to the Repuo-
lican candidate OF 20 votes. He Is now
but eleven ahead OF his opponent, Dent,
and II the proportionate losses keep up
In the rest OF the precincts yet to be
counted Dent will have pretty safe
majority, thus sending a Democrat to
the legislature from Taylor.
A recount is being had also on con-
gFess, but no uiatetteR cnanBe mas Oeeu

explanation can be made OF the surprlS-

STEEL RAII MANUFACTURERS.

Mestlue 10 bs Held In PlitSbuFEh TO AZ.
tempt TO ItsvIvo old Pool.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 15.-An i'm
portaut meeting has been called for the
near future of the steel rail- manufae-
turers of this city and surrounding sec
tlons. The purpose OF the meeting is to
attempt to revive the old steel rail pool
which existed throughout the country
for many years and which was dic-
banded about year ago One plan that
will be suggested at this meeting is the
ldea Of establishing a central selling
agency. By so doing It will give each
steel rail manufacturing concern a cer-
tain allotment OF orders which viii be
based on the productive capacity.
II is understood that this new plan or
agreement will provide for the control
Of che rail business by single selling
agency, which will probably be organ
ized as a company and will control all
the rail mills under some form OF lease
or contract.
Though conducted very quietly II Is
understood the negotiations for the
new combination have been successful
and that an agreement has been reach
ed on general terms and referred 10 a
committee, which is at present arrang-
ing the details. The situation has been
slmpllaed to come extent by the organ
izatlon Of the Federal Steel Company
which was instrumental in bringing to-
gether some OF the elements which have
previously opposed the new eombina-
ton.
