AN INCIDENT
Concerning tile Establishment
OfOur First Ferry.

Gallipolis Tribune.
In Howe's History of Ohio ls
related an interesting incident rela-
tive to the establishment of the
ferry between Point Pleasant, w.
Va, and Fair Haven, Ohio For
some reason or other the inhabi-
tants of our sister State opposed
the ferry, and as the jurisdict on
of Virginia extended over the Ohio
river, they were very rabid in their
denunoiation of the Buckeyes, and
and went so far as to threaten to
take the life of the first passenger
who should attempt to land in
their little village from the ferry,
There lived in Gallipolis at this
time Gen. Edward Tupper, an old
veteran of the war of 1872, as
brave and fearless as a lion, as he
had amply demonstrated on vari-
GUS hardly contested and bloody
fields. This old fire. eater, on learn
ing of the attitude of the citizens
of PIT. Pleasant, summoned his old
war horse, buckied on his sword
and acoo utrements, demanded to
be set across The ferryman COM
piled. an ! the General was soon on
the hostile shore. He rode up the
bank and galloped through the
streets, and with his fine old soldier
ly figure alert and his eyes full of
daring no one ventured to molest
him, and thus was established the
ferry between the two towns.
Gen. Tupper lived for many
wears in house fronting on the
Public Square, and was a promi,
nent figure in the early history OF
our little city,

ment

The following is clipped from
the Now York Literary Digest:
Many people think that the ex-
penditure of large sums by the
state governments or the federal
Government in improving country
roads will raise the value of the
adjacent farms enough to warrant
the outlay. Massachusetts, in fact,
spends considerable money in this
way every year, and Governor
Odell recommended in his inaugu-
raj address that New York State
should begin similar policy. En-
gineering News (New Yor&), how
ever, holds an opposite view, and
thinks that the good.road advocates
are doing actual harm by advooat-
ing an unsound business policy.
1t says:
Now where transportation over
common roads is carried on as a
business, the direct return from the
improvement of the road can be
computed. There are thousands of
such roads, where products of
mines, mile, or forests are hauled
to shipping point, or where mar
ket.gardeners and milkmen carry
their products TO towns and cities.
Roads of this class, if only sufffoi.
ent traffic is lin sight can very
generally be improved so that the
reduced cost of transportation shall
we'll repay the cost of the improve
ment.
but on roads in the farming
districts, remote from towns and
oities-on country roads proper
there is very little of transporta-
ton as business. The farmer
carries most of his products to
market at times when he and his
mon and horses would otherwise
be idle. He would obtain benefit
from good roads; but it is incorrect
to measure it in the same way that
we measure the benefit to the team
ster who, as result of improved
roads, oan do his work with fewer
horses and wagons, and who can
thus afford to work at lower prices
so that the final benefit aoorues to
the public. 1t ought to be plain
enough that no suoh benefit ao-
crues in the case of the farmer. He
will get the current price for his
grain, whether he hauls it to mark
ct over bad road or good one;
and as we have already seen, his
total outlay for horses and laborers
is fixed by his farm conditions, and
not by the state of the highway to
market,
"The farmer understands this
perfectly we'll. He is not for a
minute deceived by the theorists
who tell him that by taxing him
self to pay for good roads he can
put dollars in his pocket He re-
CARDS good roads as he does Gov
cred carriage or fine house or any
other pleasant and desirable thing
as something very good to have
when and where it can be afforded"

Angcrcd Them.

pittsburg Post.
The English by their South AT
rican war have angered the whole
German people of the continent
and particularly the Dutch of the
Netherlands. Predictions are made
that the annexation of the Neither
lands by Germany is a probability
of the future, and this is strength
ened by the marriage of Wilhelmi-
ma with a German prince. Re-
gently MIR Labouchere in London
predicted the time was not far off
when Holland would voluntarily
enter into union with her great
neighbor by treaty of federation
which would guarantee the preser-
vation of the Dutch nationality
and make the Netherlands a sort
of maritime bulwark and CONNER
cial emporium for tho Teutonic
races of the continent. The Brit
ish Radical considers this process
much fastened by the results of
the South African war, which has
alienated the kind feelings of Hol-
land toward England and changed
them into aversion, if not sublime
hatred, as against a power that
gives no longer any guarantee to
the preservation and independence
of smaller commonwealth.
