Crops i'm West Virginia.

The West Virginia crop report for
July, just printed by the Department
of Agriculture, shows that the grain
and fruit of our neighboring State,
Notwithstanding rather hard weather
conditions, are in fairly good condi-
tion says the Dispatch.
July was hot and sunny month,
with severe thunderstorms, yet West
Virginia reaped good harvests of
wheat and oats, and the corn is COM
ing on excellently. There will be a
fine crop of buckwheat, so, that there
will be good eating for the West Vir-
ginians during the winter. Peaches,
pears and grapes are in good supply
and in some sections the apple trees
are overloaded. There will doubtless
be a large yield of cider this fall.
The report overlooks the fact THAI
politics is also exceedingly abundant
in West Virginia this season.

STRIKING INNOVATIONS
To be Presented at the West Virginia
State Fair Opening September 10th.

This combined Fair and Exhibition
has annually achieved a wide popu-
larity for nineteen years past. The
season to open on Septamber 10th will
be the twentieth, and the manage
ment has determined to improve the
occasion and opportunity to launch
out upon broader field, and to amuse
the people by night as well as by day.
During each day there will be on ex
hibition an enhanced aggregation Of
Fair and Exposition exhibits, splen-
did programme Of racing numbering
twelve events, commencing on Tues
day, September 18th and lasting
through four days, a meritorious dis
play of General outdoor attractions,
previously unequalled upon these or
any other grounds, while at night I'M
der electric lights which will make
track and grounds as brilliant as day,
will be seen chariot racing, running
races, greas vaudeville acts in front OF
the grand stand, and number of 9TH
er attractions, while the best of mu-
sic will be provided. The grounds
will be open until II o'clock every
evening This is a decided innovation
IN Fair practice, but the change will
please the public and measurably
contribute TO their recreation and sat-
isfaction.

ture giving details. You can have it

WILL USE A FIDDLE.
Hon. John III. Holt Injects a Pictur-
eseue Feature into the Campaign.

John H. Holt, the Democratic NOM
inee for Governor, will take a fiddle
into the eampain and attempt to fol-
low in the footsteps of several other
West Virginia politicians who have
found the fiddle a very powerful vote
getter in the mountain counties.
The late United States Senator
Kenna always carried violin with
him in his campaigning trips through
the southern part OF the state, and he
was the idol OF the Third district.
Ex-Governor Wilson used the violin
with good effect in his campaign and
Governor Atkinson made use of a
violin which was presented to him by
a friend who had laughingly remark
ed several years before that he would
give him his fine violin when he was
nominated for Governor.
When Atkinson was nominated his
friend remembered his promise and
presented him the violin, which fgur-
ed successfully in the election of At
kinson. Holt has already taken up
the fiddle and has been playing '"The
Arkansaw Traveller and 1.-THE DEVILS
Dream in some of the lumber camps
along Tug river with good effect.

DIR. GUNSAULUS.
Gave His Audience Great Treat Last
Evening.

The large audience at Commences
ment Hall last night had q great
surprise and delightful treat il
store for them. 1t had been under
stood that DIR. Frank w Gunsauins
was to deliver the first of series Of
four lectures on Contemporary Eng
lish Literature, but President Ray
mond announced that he had pre-
vailed upon DR.. Gunsanlus to give
an additional lecture, and this extra
lecture would be Dir. Gunsaulus' IA
nous lecture on Savonarola. Hard
ly any other public lecture has re-
ceived so much praise as this one,
and the audience was greatly pleased
to know that they would have an OPP
portunity to hear him. Their ex-
pectations were high and were more
than fulfilled. The lecture wss q
marvellous combination Of eloquenee,
scholarship, and portrait painting
for the picture Of the great Italian
preacher and statesman will always
stand out bright and bold In the
minds of those who heard the lecture
last night. The general opinion is
that it was one of the best things
ever heard in that hall.
The addition of this extra lecture
makes slight change Of program
necessary. This afternoon at 4
o'clock in Commencement Hall DR.
Gunsaulus will deliver the lecture
which he was announced to give last
night, namely, The Higher Minis
tries of Contemporary English Poe
try. His other lectuaes for this
week are as follows:

A Card from T. 2. Reay.
or of the New DOMINION:

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
There appears to be an effort on the
part Of some six or eight gentlemen in
the town and county to have me retire
from active participation in democratic
politics in Monongalia county. To this
Bakers Dozen of disgruntled democrats

business nature would demand good
share OF my time and would prevent me

it, and further being two good demo-
crat to cause any friction in the party on
account OF personal ambition especially

at all times and under all circumstances
to aid the different committees to the
extent of my ability and do all in my
power to secure the election of the en-
tire Democratic ticket from President to
Constable. Allow me to add that / beg
that the few gentlemen interested in my
retirement will still permit me to vote
to democratic ticket. It's an old habit

tor, and am 10th to give up any of the
few good habits / have acquired. |

when quite number of these gentle
men were in swaddling cloths or abb

V. Thompson of uniontown the Pur-
chaser-The Names OF the Sellers.

Captain John Hatfield went to I'm
iontown on Tuesday morning to close
UP deal that takes in territory on
each side of the Pennsylvania line.
Part of the land bought lies in this
county and the remainder ia Greene
county. The amount of money in
volved is about twenty-five thousand
dollars.
This Is the first deal OF Importance
that has taken place in the county for
some time. Thomas M. Gummert of
Tarentum, Pa, optioned the land and
Donley and Hatfield of this place have
done the abstracting. They have
been at work on it for some time.
]. V. Thompson OF Uniontown is
the purchaser. The lands sold were
owned by d. L. Donley, Ida M. Pat
terson, Aaron Rose, Eugene Wade
and Samuel Lemley the latter of
whom sells two tracts. All of it lies
along Dunkard creek and comprises
the Pittsburg vein Of coal.
Mr.. Thompson has been a heavy
buyer OF coal in that section and owns
the river front for several miles
This purchase lies directly back OF a
lot that he had formerly bought.
He is firm believer in the extern
sion of the P. V. & G. up the river in
the near future aud has bought the
land with that belief in view. As
soon as the road is extended the land
will be developed. The railroad is
expected TO start for this section be-
fore very many months.

MILLER LOOKS FOR SUCCESS
Thinks the Democracy Never Present.
ed Better Fighting Front Than

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, Aug. Ia. Hon.
James II. Miller, chairman OF the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, has just returned from trip
through the Second Congressional
district. When asked what he
thought Of the outlook in the East
ern Panhandle, he said: 1T could
not be better. From the entire Sec
ond district the reports are encourg
ing. In fact the Democracy is in
fine fighting trim all over the State.
While the Republicans are torn by
contending factions everywhere,
Democrats are standing together as
they have not stood for 80 years,
presenting a front that appears in
v;ncible, and nothing but the most
outrageous frauds and wholesale use
Of money to debauch the ballot can
keep us from electing our full State
ticket"
When asked what he had heard
concerning the colonization of color
ed voters in the Second district he
replied: Il understand that many
strange negroes are being seen IN
the counties where there are new
works of any kind being carried on,
many more than are accounted for
by the work there is for them. But
our friends are vigilant and we prom
Use to make the colonization bust
ness very hazardous enterprise in
West Virginia.
Concerning the reports sent out
from Parkersburg to the effect that
Judge Holt had virtually abandoned
the race for Governor and is now
fighting for election to the Senate,
Mr.. Miller stated: II never saw a
more enthusiastic candidate than
Judge Holt, or one who felt more
confident of success. He firmly be
lieves that he is going to be elected
Governor and is now interested in
making the majority as large as
possible"

Council took hold of the matter OF
numbering the town for free delivery
at its session on Monday evening.
They hauled the street committee
over the Goals for having let it go so
long without action but the mem
bers of that body stated that they
had done everything that they could
do to move it along.
Several people put in bids for the
contract of placing the numbers in
position. Samples will be here Ia a
few days and the contract will be let
at once. The town will do the work
and will assess property owners the
amount required to do it,
Any one who wishes TO put up a
better style of number than that pro
yided In the contract will be at liber-
ty to do SO. The numbers will run
in blocks of one hundred from Deck
er's creek north on each street and
from the river east in cross streets.
Engineer John Samsel was ordered
some time ago to prepare map OF
the town properly numbered but he
has not yet done SO. In case it is not
done Immediately the street commit
tee was ordered to get another engi-
near to do it.
Seneca, Greenmont and South Nor
gantown states that they have been
waiting on the motions OF Morgan
town before they took any steps them
selves. Chairman Hayes Of the street
committee states that they expect to
have everything in readiness by the
tenth Of September SO that a post
ponement in the date at which free
delivery is to be inaugurated here will
mol be necessary.
Posts for street boxes are to be put

GAS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM
DO UNTO YOU"

The Galveston disaster has brought
out what Is best and worst in human
nature. 1t has shown anew-if new
man may rise, to what depths he may
sink. From the gbouls mutilating the
dead for the rings on their flyers to
the man standing hcrocally by tese
stricken city and giving his very life,
as many are doing. to alleviate the
ssufferings of the unfortunate, how vast
I is the stretch!
AT least there Is much more that is
inspiring than humiliating in all that
has followed the disaster. The re-
Spouse of the country to the appeal for
aid has shown how strong, despite the
pessimists, are the ties that bind man
to man. In no other country. and in
no other age, perhaps. in the world s
history would this work of relief have
earnestness or pushed with such vi
gor.
The bearing of the people of the
stricken city has been such as to COM
mHnd the HdrIfTTrfUH or rne wh0Te
country and TO inspire confidence in
the permanence OF our institutions. In
the midst of ruin and desolution the
monster of anarchy raised it's head
a and these men left their unburied dead
TO throttle 1t. I'VE have brought or
der out of chaos" said the Mayor oil
Galveston. when the short, SHARP
struggle was ended and the law was
once more supreme. None save those
j on the scene can ever understand just
how much that meant.
Here are people that help them
4 selves. Their deserts are not less than
their bitter needs. They are our fell
sslow men. our countrymen. We should
4 help them and cheerfuly-as an ex-
( preston at once of our pride in their
spirit and of our sympathy at their
infsfortunes The Golden Rule as a
guiding principle OF action was never
I, more golden than in this instance.
