Don't Appreciate 1t.

1t is said that the Copley girls,
in Lewis county, owners of the big
gusher, fail to appreciate or realize
the stream of wealth that is CON-
ing their way. In face of the fact
that the first check they received
for royalty amounted to $4,000,
they bemoan the fact that the
fences about the farm are being
wrecked to make room for thous-
and barrel gushers. A little
meadow of about four acres, on
which they probably raised two
tons of hay, has been transformed
into village of shanties and a
yard for oil we'll supplies, from
which the Copleys get great big
income, causes them anguish be-
cause the grass is being tramped
down and they are figuring on
how to get it cleaned up by spring
for another hay crop.

Holiday Shopping.

We clip the following from the
Pittsburg Post on holiday buying,
and substitute it as our own:
"This week and next will be the
great season for holiday shopping,
which has already commenced with
a purpose that means business"
on the part of buyer and seller.
The advertising columns of "The
Register" bear witness to the fact
that our city merchants have made
extraordinary preparations. Great
crowds already fill the stores or
linger about the shop windows.
Some years the purchasers fall off
in numbers, although the aggre-
gate of sales may be very large.
The fortunate few do the bulk of
the buying. This year will be diff
ferent. The toiling million take
tho field, so that the crowds at the
stores the next two weeks will
probably exceed the numbers of
holiday buyers In any previous
season. A good plan always rec
commended to Christmas buyers is
to study the holiday announce
ments in The Register make up
their minds what they want, whore
they expect te get it, and then
sally forth on mercantile thoughts
intent 1t saves time, abolishes
worry and produces most satisfao-
tory results. For every Christmas
buyer, whether the purse be large
or small, there is a wonderful vari-
ETY. of articles from which to choose.
The world has been ransaoked for
this Christmas season.

Fought Like Tigers.

An old grudge terminated in a
serious battle the other day at
Swan Creek, Clyde Picket and
the three Saunders boys have been
waging hostilities for some time.
They met near Joe Johnson's store
and quarrel ensued. Picket was
terribly beaten with clubs and has
been laid mp ever since the row.
One of the Saunders boys had an
arm broken and his shoulder dis
located in the mixup.-Gallipolis

state Defaners.
The West Virginian,

The West Virginian.
West Virginia is unusually af-
flioted with set of lying CORES
pondents who send news to outside
papers with the only end in view
that of padding their string to the
cashier. The news sent out about
the smallpox, mine falling in, and
the dream account of wreck on
the O. & o. r, r. are recent
samples of the work of "penny-a-
line vuItures." The next meeting
of the State Press Association
should take up the matter and
publish the names of the liars and
warn the public at large not to
put any confidence in their tele-
grams. One pleasant thing about
the matter is that the defamers
are not newspaper men.

The Politician.

MoUNDsvILLE, w, VA, Dec, 10.
Editor Register:
observed the following in the
last number of the Literary Digest,
which L thought good enough for
the Daily Register, tits as follows:
"The politician is my shepherd,
1 shall not want for anything dur
ing the campaign. He leadeth me
into the saloon for my votes sake;
he flleth my pocket with good OF.
gars; my beer runneth over. He
inquireth after my family to the
third and fourth generation. Yea,
though 1 walk through the mud
and rain and vote for him, and
shout myself hoarse, when elected
straightway he forgetteth me. L
meet him in his own house and he
knoweth me not. Surely the wool
hath been pulled over my eyes all
the days of my life, aud L will
dwell in the ranks of the old party
forever" Upward.
