ne GO fusion OF the article on
the great iddle West. written for
the CoUH, by MI G.. Mason Couk
lyn, who ~As An eye witness to VIII
he describes IN his story, is publish
ed today on our first page, the first
part OF the article having appeared
several weeks since. Mr.. Conklyn
in his entertaining and vivid style of
describing things, tells of his visit
to different points of interest in
Chicago, from which our readers can
get much information that will be
valuable to them. We thank Mr..
Conklyn for his kind words about
the COURIER staff at the end of his
story, and regret to inform him that
Mr.. Rice Grown, the beau editor of
the COURIER, expects to put up the
quill and go to the balmy CLINE of
Georgia to engage in more profita-
BILE business, his removal howev> r
not being occasioned at the bid" of
Southern maid, for our society re
porter says "his true love he leaves
behind" The senior editor it is said
is not in the market, as he has
been passed upon as marked out. ;"
However, Mr.. Conklyn, the COURIER
staff are not the only ones that are
fond of the girls: we believe people
IN glass houses should not throw
stones.

Our correspondent at Berry's Fer
ry says that lamp explosion in the
home of Mr.. G. III. Smallwood mar.
rowly missed firing the house and
perhaps fatally burning Mr.. Small
woods sister, IN whose hand the
lamp was when it exploded. Mr..
Smallwood rushed into his sisters
room promptly when he heard the
scream aud noise, and 10y display Of
presence of mind he threw a quilt
over the burning oil and smothered
the blaze before it gained any head
way. Fortunately, when the lamp
exploded the blazing oil flew from
Miss Smallwood and did not burn
her. The corn crop in the Berry
Ferry promises large yield, says
our correspondent.

1t was published last week that
George j. Gould had succeeded in
buying controlling interest in the
Norfolk and Western Railway. and
that he would not permit the Penn
sylvania to get possession of the prop

vauia Company at once denied the
story, and one of them said: "No one
need worry about the Pennsylvania
position position in regard to the
Norfolk & Western. 1t has had con
trel Of the Norfolk 4 Western for
some time and still holds that con
troll"

We are indebted to the Morgan's
Grove Fair Association for comph
mentary tickets to their exhibition to
be given this week (3rd, 4th, 9TH
and 9th on their grounds near
Shepherdstown, w. Va. We regret,
however, that the date of holdin Q
the Clarke County Horse and Colt
Show conflicts with the date of this
fair aud precludes our going to
same. The Morgan's Grove Fair is
one of the best in the business in the
Valley, but our colt show promises to
be something better.
