To Own q Bit OF Land.

lone Of the healthiest instincts
OF Anglo-Saxon nature is 10 acquire
broad acres, said an elderly man.
e'This love of the soil, which In Eng
lang among the better class has for
SO many hundreds OF years amount
ed to passion, has done more to
enpuble the nation and give IL It's
prestige than anything else. and it is
Of no small importance TO our national
development that young men of edu-
cation and social standing so frequent
ly nowadays buy small holdings where
they can live the country life that
every healthy mind delights In. To
own bit of land is a hostage To re-
spectability and success, and when it
Is in The country and carries with IL a
certain amount or country living and
thinking itamounts TO moral tonic,
strengthening all that is best and
most virile in young mans nature.
Public spirit becomes aroused In
stinctively, the affairs OF the country
side grow To interest him keenly,
his rural neIghbors become of import
anee to him, and he grows in touch
with the community, as he votes with
them and works with them for their
common local interests 1t is the
bit OF land that does 1t all; the
sense of ownership and mutual inter-
est that awakens the dignity and
responsibility OF citizenship which is so
important TO the rounding of mans
character. And that young men Of
business are developing such tastes is
a happy augury for the future Of town
and State.

Good FelIna in Fairmont District

Fairmont, w Va, March 25.--It has
been reported that the West Virginia
coal miners will go upon a strike soon,
but there are no indications in north
ern West Virginia of labor troubles
or dissatisfaction. In this Fairmont
region, where 5000 men are employed
in the mines, the utmost good feeling
prevails between employer and en-
ployes. There is no organization
among the miners here, and they are
earning good wages. The strike rumor
appears to be without foundation.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Young Edward Gates of Fairchance
has his leg Shattered.

On Saturday some marksmen were
shooting at target at distance of 200
yards. Edward Gates, 15-year-old son
of j. X. Gates, ran across the firing
line just as one of the shooters dis
charged his gun at the target. The
ball entered the rear fleshy part Of the
left leg just below the thigh, and
passed clean through, coming out on
the front side. Drs. Holbert Of Fair
chance and Hackney and Baton of
Uniontown attended the victim and
dressed the limb, finding the bone
shattered. On account of the age of
the boy they think that the leg will
not have TO be amputated.
