The eleventh annual meeting of
the Virginia State Bar association
was held at Hot Springs last week.
The attendance was larger than usu-
al and was drawn from all parts of
the State. Among the principal
speakers who addressed the meeting
was Hon. Marshall Mccormick, of
this place.

Had we needed any persuasion to
admit the claim set up by the Charles
town Free Press, brave aud honest
newspaper, that jefferson county was
Goods country" in West Va, the
following very generous touch from
Brother Gallaher's pen would have
brought us to our knees in contrition
for harboring such an unworthy
thought;
Friend Grown, we are just joking.
We wouldn't deprive Clarke of an
acorn. Clarke is Goods country" in
Virginia; Jefferson is Goods coun-
try in West Virginia. And we
don't blame you for cherishing and
nourishing a sentiment "a sort O.
tender feeling" for the State whose
troops rescued Washington's army.
We like that old State for lots of
things, among them for the good fell
low and excellent editor she let

temporary of the Clarke Courier-to

1t is evident that Beresford's inves-
tigation in China has impressed him
with the fact that the main struggle in
China must come between Russia and
his own country. In his visit to the
United States he hopes so to influence
public opinion as to make it possible to
secure the aid of the United States in
the inevitable struggle. 1t may be that
when the struggle comes we shall find
that our best interests do not lie very
close to those of Great Britain, but
there is no haste. Our trade in China
is growing, and when our commerce
is actually threatened it will be time
enough for us to interfere. Russia is
our friend always. England-well,
history tells that story.

M. Meigs shows that America is Mt a
disadvantage in competition with many
of the worlds markets because of her
bad roads, much as the railroads have
done to bring the producer and the
consumer together. 1t costs on an aver
age 25 cents per ton to market the
produce of our farms over the coun-
try roads. often much more: or the
farmers spend as much for one mile as
the railroads ask for seventy-five miles
of haulage. Mr.. Meigs believes that
cheap OF! is going to work a revolu-
ton in country roads. Mr.. Meigs' in
structions are that the road should
first be smoothly graded and we'll
rounded, so as to shed water; the oil
should be applied while the roadbed
is dry. II the soil is filled with water
the oil will penetrate with difficulty.
and much of it will be carried off on
the wheels of passing wagons. As the
oil has a tendency to collect in ruts
and shallow hollows, the road should
be well rolled after the oil is put on.
The rolling forces it into the soil and
distributes it evenly.

members of the Illinois legislature to
demand the resignation of United

The British government has now TO
face storm of criticism from all
classes of society, which, it is not i'm
possible, the opposition may turn to
its advantage. 1t is now tolerably GER
tain that there will be a deficit of f1,-
100000 in the years accounts, which,
If it is actually so, means much lar
ger deficit for the coming year. 1t is
quite evident, therefore. that England
is living beyond its income. If the ex-
penditure be not decreased the revenue
must be increased. The idea of in
creasing the income tax undoubtedly
would be received with universal dis
gust and Indignation, and so, too, with
the schemes of Indirect taxation that

The senate has refused to appropri-

A BUSINESS CONFIDANTE.

Wife with business Matters
of Mutual Interest.

1t is mans duty to acquaint his wife
with every business matter of mutual in
terest. She should be given an insight
into the purpose Of his business or
profession, her sympathetic interest
in these matters should be encouraged,
not turned aside; moreover, she should
be taught the meaning Of at least the
ordinary business expressions and tech
nicalities. Then if she fail to do her
part the man will be in nowise respon-
sible for her mistakes.

others procrastinate. The towards are
afraid that the mere act of drawing
up a will might precipitate them into
a premature grave, while the procrasti'
nator puts off recognized duty from

RIBBONS TO BE PROMINENT.
This Authority says Fall Mtu,ner,
L. to BE Decked Out in
Bright Colors.

III Is by no means an unimportant fea-
ture of the latest creations that the
trimming often includes ribbons.
There is every probability that these
are about TO take signal revenge for
the neglect in which they have been
held throughout more than two sea-
sons. The ribbon manufacturers are
chiefly responsible for this reaction.
Their new productions, brought out for
late summer and autumn, are in all
ways admirable, and deserve patronage.
In the first rank stand the warp-printed
lowered ribbons, mostly shown in POM
padour and other delicate combinations
of color on white or very light grounds,
and edged with plain bands or else
fringed. Others, also with light
grounds, and printed in the same way.
with bouquets of field flowers and
wheat ears, fruits, flowers or foliage
are interviewer with lines of black scor-
ing the design lengthwise. Plain rib
bons are sometimes divided into bands
of two colors or shades, with fringe
on one or both edges. Those with mar
row bands of open work are in much
request. They are made in ribbons of
different textures-pongee, foulard,
fetas merveilleux-anda are self colored.
In the lighter textures they have more
the appearance of bands of material
with fancy hemstitched borders than
ribbons.
A capeline exhibited is trimmed with
this sort of ribbon, which forms bow
in front of the crown and is then passed
through the straw over the ears and
tied under the chin. Black ribbon vel,
vet is used for the trimming quilting
that surrounds the edges of the crown
and brim. This is in much request in
all widths, while other ribbons, plain
and figured, are shown only in me.
djum-wide and wide widths. AS in
the case of feathers, now and again
the brush comes into play, and plain OF
shaded ribbons are touched up with
body color. Milliners also (this work is
generally accomplished by them)
sketch out simple outline patterns on
the ribbon and then stitch down loulou
straw braids upon it. A special sort Of
pencil is provided for the purpose.
These complicated practices, however,
are seldom worth the time and trouble
devoted to them, which, of course, must
be reckoned at in the price Of the hat.
After all, handsome figured ribbon
gives usually far more satisfaction
