TI,e Democratic Party.

Clarksburg News.
The Democratic party has out
lived two great parties, the Federal
and the Wing. Each of these in
turn went to pieces leaving the
Democratic party in possession of
the government. There is a vital
ity about this party which should
command the respect of all thiuk-
ing men. The three opposing
parties, the Federal, the Wing and
the Republican, have each in turn
stood for certain principles which
have been and are today represent
ed in the structure of our govern
ment, SO that in one sense these
three successive parties might be
called one continuous party with
different names at different times.
Yet the fact still remains that as to
organization and governmental
policy there have been two disas-
trous endings of the parties which
opposed the one and continuous

Some of the coal operators in
West Virginia who have heavy in
vestments in this line of business
are alarmed over the vast territory
that has been taken up by syndi-
oates during the past year or two
with the purpose of opening up
new mines. They say that if even
a reasonable fraction of this terri
tory is developed and it's coal put
on the market there will be such
an overproduotion that general dis
aster will follow.

Burpee,s Seeds Grow.

Burpee s. Co., Seedsmen, of Phila-
deIphia, have justly merited the con
fidence of the gardeners of the United
States and Canada, who purchase
seeds in large quantities, and tens of
thousands of other patrons who send
smaller orders for seeds every year.
They advertise almost an endless va
riety of field, garden and flower seeds,
and bulbs and plants.
They have many customers in Ma
son county, all of whom will attest to
the genuineness of their seeds, which
are always as represeDte6-pure in
kind, fresh and good in quality.
Burpee's famous FordhOOk Farms,
in Bucks county, adjoining the coun-
ty of Philadelphia, are the largest
trial grounds in America. Here the
seeds are grown with special care, and
thousands of comparative tests are
made every year.
The special quarter-century edition
of Burpee's Farm Annual for 1901,
gives brief history of their progress
during the last % years in business.
Any one desiring this Farm Annual,
of 22O pages, can get it by sending
10 cents worth of stamps, and in addi-
ton, receive n, 10 cent package of
Burpee's "Quarter- Century" tomato
seed. Address w. Atlee Burpee &
Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
