THE HOME oE THE SOUL

The release of the SOUL through
the birth Of Christ. was brought to
the attention of the readers Of the
Independent one yea ago. 1t will
not be amiss to add o few words
this Christmas season, about "The
Home Of the Soul" 1t is theme
made very tender by the memory of
one, who, always viewed it with rap
turous pleasure-a departed moth
err. The release of the soul from
death through sin, by the birth of
Christ, whose natal day is so uni
versally celebrated, made the Home
of the Soul, joyous, eternal, by the
crucifxion, death, esurrection, of
the same Jesus, who was the Christ
Child, and did he not also say: ''In
my fathers house are many man.
sions,' and add thereto, 81 go to
prepare a place for you What
place? The Home Of the Soul. Even
though the blind poets eyes were
sealed. yet the effulgent light of the
ransom and the home led him to
write, "Thy mansion waits thee,
AGam; rise" Clean the spirit of
the only hope mortality has, or can
conjecture, from a writer, who far
surpasses us in expression:
will sing you song of that beautiful
land,
The far away home of the soul,
Where no storms ever beat on the glitter
ing strand
While the years of eternity roll;
That Interchangeable home is for you and
for me,
Where Jesus ofNazsreth stands;
The King of all kingdoms forever is He,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands
Ponder as to the crown deserved.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The Agricultural Department has
made very interesting report as
to the outlook of this very i'm.
portant cereal. It shows the sore.
age of winter wheat to be 100000
acres greater than that of 1898. The
estimate of the total crop of 1899 is
placed at SAT 100000 bushels, based
upon an average Of 1878 bushels per
acre, but as the final statement for
the 1898 crop exceeded the estimate
by 1875 upon the same ratio of in,
crease, the final result for 1899
crop would be more than 600,000,-
900 bushels. Ifthese figures should
turn out to be correct, it will prove
TO be the largest production ever
made, except those Of 1891 ard 1898
which were respectively 6l2,000.-
900 and 6T5,000,000 bushels. That
is why the price of wheat is low,
and IS farmer remarked to US, yes
terday, "with 200 sheep he sold 200
lambs, at 81 each, and the fleece OF
the old ONES averaged one dollar
each. The wheat comes from the
level lands of the West, and Kansas
has raised ebough corn for the ma
ton. Eastern farmers should look
after supplying meat food for the
large eastern cities.

j. Baker Kearf0tt.

Mr.. j. Baker Keariott, we'll known
by almost every family in Berkeley
county, has gone to rest. Esteemed
and respected as man, and citizen,
recognized for usefulness In his
business career, by the decree of the
Creator, he has bid Us temporary
adieu, for we all must follow.
He was born here, grew TO man
hood in this county, and for only a
few years was he away from the
home of his birth and youth. Though
at times farming, he was best
known as a practical surveyor and
engineer. He several terms filed
honorably and well, the Office OF
County Surveyor, and has furnished
excellent maps OF both town and
county. He was progressive, USE
fui citizen, an ardent member OF
the Baptist church, end an official
therein.
Mr.. Kearfott was in his SEVENTEEN
year, and was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Mary Ruth Cor
rell and his second Miss Rachael
A. Bro,herton, of Jefferson county.
He leaves FIVE children: Or. Clar-

MCGRAW VS.. SCOTT.

BY peculiar coincidence, posi-
bly, for the want of a TIVE. fol-
twelve, the genial and talented gen
tleman from Grafton, is endeavoring
not to contest the seat of Mr.. Scott
in the U. S. Senate, but, to decide
upon the legitimacy of the issue de.
livered by the recent legislature o.
West Virginia. 1t is q peculiar pro-
ceeding, inso ucb, as should he pre-.
vail, there is neither entailment Of
the heirship, or a chance for alien
age inheritance, for the reason, that
Governor Atkinson would appoint
during the interim. But apart
from this, the briefs of the parties
have been presented, and they are
very carefully prepared, and it is
pleasure 10 read them, and observe
the study and research they en-
brace. For this, each side is cntit-
led to credit, but really, that Of
Senator SCOTS, prepared and pre-
sented by ex-senator Faulkner,
seems unanswerable, and from that
presentation, there does not appear
any hope for Mr.: McG.aw.

II: IL. The prophecy Of which this
lesson is part begins with Crap.
u I. Israel and Judah were nearing
great political crises. The final
destruction ofIsrael was only four
teen or fifteen years in the future,
and the forces, which wrought that
terrible disaster were actively at
work, like the breaking of dam
high up among the mountains,
whence the waters were rolling in
swift disaster.

Such were the last words of the

Notes and Comments.

The merchant harvest is due.
Santa Claus, fills stockings and
makes presents.
Some of our city folks will not en-
Joy the coming festivities on account
Of illness.
What has become of"Lot?" There
is too much talent there to be idle
and we miss her spicy articles.
When young man asks q girl to
share his lot, she should always be
sure to know he is in possession OF
enough money to build house up
on it,
Poor Roberts, suffers enough with
three wives and their children, who
must all be supplied with Christmas
presents, without those congress-
men adding to his torment. 1t is
not any wonder he represents an
empty purse.
For month before marriage, and
a month after death, some men re-
gard their wife as an angel. Well,
if a woman only knew her husband
as well before marriage, as she does
a(tarward she would marry some
other fellow. There is heap of
lottery about it anyway.
As tue holidays are near and
every'person that can, will have a
joyful time, the Editor and typos
want TO breathe the fresh atmosphere
and the patrons of the Independent
will not lay aside their jolification
to peruse its columns. Suppose we
all take week off, in the mean time
study over what arrangements we
can make, which will be advanta-
geous. Its a great stimulant to set.
tie old scores and start anew in
1900. The paper will look brighter
and become newsier, then ask your
neighbor if he won't subscribe, its
cheap, only about the cost Of a
Christmas turkey, this is what max
es good editor, and a good editor
makes q good paper. We extend the
kindliest wishes for the success of
the patrons Of the Independent, its
editor and employees. We are go
ing out of 1899 with the kindliest
feelings for all and with enmity TO-
ward none, and now adieu until the
dawn of 1900.

GEN. LAYTON S DEATH.

Manila, Dec. 2G-Details OF Gen.
Lawton's death throw strong side
lights on the nobility of his char
acter. With a strong force The Gen.
eral on Tuesday marched all day in
a driving rain and attacked the Fill.
ipinos at San Mateo.
Captain Breckenridge was shot in
the skirmisb and Gen,rel LAYTON
dismounted and helped TO carry the
wounded officers litter.
While bending over the litter and
assisting in dressing Breckenridges
wound a Filipino bullet, more
treacherous or better aimed than
others, passed through his heart
and he fell dead.
Officers near him had called the
Generals attention TO the fact thai
the Filipino sharpshooters were aim
ing at him. They begged him TO he
careful. General Lawton resolu'ely
replied: ~ must see what is going
on in the firing line"
He then started off and had ira
versed about fifty feet when he was
shot. He tipped forward, with blood
gushing from his mouth. He did
not speak again, for he was dead.
