Mad Dog Scare Profitable.

The hydrophobia scare has brok-
en- out at several points in the
State, and the result is that Wig
orous campaign of determination
is being inaugurated against the
unfortunate CANNES. The cultiva-
ton of dogs is probably given more
attention, and is being pushed with
more vi.yor than any other indust-
ry or interest of like reward or re-
Enumeration. The dog habit is a
growing evil and the cost attend
ing it is simply enormous. Few
counties in this State but have
more dogs than sheep, and yet
there is no comparison in the re-
turns that might be derived from
the two species of animals. It is
well that the mad dog scare breaks
out periodically; otherwise, the
country would be overwhelmed
with dogs.

The work of Harvesting the
Kanawha Falls for use as power is
going rapidly forward. The Will

Kanawha Falls and is pushing it as
rapidly as possible. Considerable

The dam is being built immedi-
ately on the Falls rock, the inten-
ton being to throw the water into
narrow channel on the north
side, where a power house will first
be built and the force utilized,
Afterwards another power house
will be built on the south side of
the river. A large force of men is
employed and the completion
means much to the industrial in

A Good Story.

Here's n pretty good one as told
by drummer you all know. We
met him Saturday evening at the
Phoenix and he proceeded to tell
us of wedding which took place
in town not far from here, one
day last week, and which was a
surprising and amusing affair.
The happy couple were from the
country-very far out in the ooun-
try. They went to the best hotel
and wanted everything done up in
style. The father of the bride was
especially anxious that it should
be SO. Everything was ready when
someone suggested wedding
march. There stood piano, and
inquiry revealed the fact that a
drummer somewhere in the hotel
could play the wedding march for
them. He was found in the liquid
sample room, not as sober as he
had been few hours before, but
his fingers, nevertheless, were in
in good playing order. oh, yes,
certainly he would play. He wad-
died up the stairs and to the piano
stool. He Immediately began the
march, which must have been re-
garded as somewhat fast, but some
people have faculty for adapting
themselves to most anything. The
bridal party came in, and the mu-
sic softened down with many extra
hourishes and runs while the
nuptial knot was being tied, then
the party marched out, while the
minister smiled broadly, he being
one of two people present who I'M
derstood the situation, for the
piano rumbled and crashed under
the fingers of the drummer, who
had played for the wedding march,

The price of space is just the
samo whether the advertisement
that is put into it is good adver-
tisoment or bad one. An adver-
tisement that costs twenty dollars
and pays is good deal better than
and advertisement that costs two
dollars and does not pay. AS a
general thing L believe that the
twenty dollar advertisement is
more likely to bring really profit
able results than the two dollar
advertisement is. This is to soy.
if the two dollar advertisement will
result in ton dollar sale, the
twenty dollar advertisement will
bring more than ten times as much,
