According to the yearly custom of

at this season to appoint day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth. and
during that time we have had on the
whole moreIto be thankful for than
has fallen to the lot of any other peo-
pie. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away
Each has had to beal it's peculiar bur-
dens, each to face its special crises,
and each has known years Of grim
trial. when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drouth or flood or pestilence,
when in bodily distress aud anguish
OF soul it paid the penalty of folly and
a froward heart. Nevertheless, de-
cade by decade. we have struggled
onward and upward; we now album

COAL FROM OUR MINES
Anthracite Shipped From Berkeley
County This Week.
MINES WILL SOON BE OPENED
Finest Quality of Coal is Found in This Coun-
ty in Paying Quantities and Easy Of
Access.

Berkeley County now comes forth
with new product For mauy years
it has been known that coal was to be
found in the county. Promoters how
ever have ALWAYS contended that it on
lv existed in pockets and that it could
not be found in paying quantities.
This latter theory. of late has been
proven to be without foundation. and
the coal has been opened mp. sutfici-
entity to satisfy them that coal is to be
ound, not in pockets, but in large
veins. and as far as investigation has
gone in abundant quantity.
A tract of land back of Cherry Run.
owned by several prominent business
men of this CITY has been pretty thor
oughly gone over lately and the devel-
opments have surprised those who are
interested in the affair. Coal people
have been after it and there are nego-
tiations on foot at the present. time for
the transfer of the property. This
coal. which is not bituminous as is gen
orally supposed. but anthracite OF the
highest quality has been analysed by
coal experts and pronounced to contain
more fixed carbon that the famous Lik-
ems Valley Coal.
A mine has been opened u D for pur-
poses of investigation and after going
to depth of thirty five feet they have
found an eight foot vain, having gone
through a two and four foot vein III
reaching the lower one. This larger
vein has been followed for thirty feet
and holds out well. The course OF the
yein has been followed and il has
been found to extend for quite dis
lance up the valley. Sometime ago q
car load of this coal was gotten out
and brought to this city where it was
used at the plaIt Of the Brooklyn Brass
Manufacturing COMPANY in the smeIt-
ing furnace. The people who used 1t
say that it was the finest coal that they
had ever used in the furnace. There
was no slate or clinkers and the coal
burned mp clean This week another
car was loaded with this coal at Cher
~ Run and shipped to Carlisle. Pa,
There is no doubt bat that by spring
this coal field will be opened up and
mines put in operation. The coal is
Of excellent quality and only shows chat

suicide OF c, A. STUART
Well Known Harper's Ferry Young
Nan Blows His Brains Out.
BODY FOUND IN HIS BACK YARD
Left Note to His Father and Mother Telling
Them That There Was No Bright Future
FOR Him Here.

Harper's Ferry. Oct. 20 This us
ually quiet community was startled
aud thrown into confusion this morn
ing by the report that the dead body
of George A. Stuart had been found
in the yard, back of his house with tho
whole top of the head blown off.
Stuart got up early this morning
and started out. He told the colored
boy about the place that he was going
duck hunting He had double bar
relied breech loading shot gun with
him aud was rather better dressed
than usual
Stuart left the house shortly after
four O'Clock and between half past
five and six O'Clock his dead body was
found by the colored boy, lying still
in death, in his back yard. Only one
barrel of the gun had been discharged
but that load was sufficient TO put an
end TO his existanee. The muzzle of
the gun had evidently been placed to
bis head just over the left eye, for the
charge tore Off the top of his head on
the left side, SCATTERING the brain
When the body was first found there
were all kind of surmises rs to the
cause of the shooting The general
impression was that it had been acct
dental, but there were some who held
TO the theory Of suicide.
Coroner G. H. Briggs was notified
and he summoned jury To view the
remains and render a verdict and es-
tablish the cause of death.
The evidence before til e jury pointed
to suicide. Stuart had left the house.
as he told the colored boy, 70 90 hunt
ing, but had carried only the loaded
gun and no other ammunition, he was
also dressed great deal better than
he would have been if he had intend
cd TO hunt ducks. A note was also
produced, which he had written to his
mother and father and sealed and adj
dressed TO them. In the note he stated
that he saw nothing bright in the fu-
ture before him here and il was either
death or the mad house After con
sidering all the testimony and examine
ing the witnesses the jury returned u
verdict of suicide.
Mr.. Stuart was the son Of Mr.. J. A.
Stuart. who for long time ran the
restaurant at the corner, at the foot of
the steps that lead down from the b.
81 o. station at this place. He WAS
about thirty wears of age and was well
thought of IN the community. He was
in the livery business with his bro
Their and was making considerable
money
There seems to be no cause for the
rash act, as his financial condition
was considered good. He was about
TO make some ventures and IL is
thought that these proved on his mind
ana that in moment of mental de-
preston he committed the deed.
He leaves wife, who was II Miss
Gatrell of this place and three small
children.

CONCERNING POTATOES.
Crown OF stem End Eyes For seed
Popular Varieties

Grown stem End Eyes For seed.
Popular Varieties
Although I'm the United States IL Is
generally understood that the crown
or seed end eyes are the best. yet there
has been a controversy in England
upon the subject OF seed, some claim
ing for a number of years that the
stem end only should be planted and
that these furnished a larger and con-
sequently better potato" So says a
National Stockman correspondent. and
he explains this difference as follows:
1t is well known that the eyes on
the seed end are much more numerous
than on the stem end. Ii has been the
custom generally until recently and
is still the custom except by a few TO
cut OF the seed end and to put two
or even three OF these pieces to each
hill. This. OF course, gives a large
number OF stalks TO each hill, while
the p sm end. Ia wing not half as many
eyes. has only had two or three pieces
TO the hill. the stalk. OF course. being
equally less i'm number.
And now. Of late years. a few per
sons have found out that the hill OF DO
tatoes with only two or three stalks
gives larger and consequently a bet
ter potato than the hills having many
stalks. Therefore, the stem end men
have got the largest and best potatoes
because they have less stalks in the
hills. as they have less eyes. IL is
claimed of late years by those who
have tested il thai large potatoes only
should be selected for seed and that
only one eye should be kept on each
piece and only two pieces used for q
hill If you want large marketable DO
tatoes.
You always find your largest pota-
toes when there is only one large vine.
One great secret in potato cultivation
is not TO have too many eyes i'm one
piece and TO cut large ones for seed.
Alva Agee in the journal mentioned
says as TO seed potatoes: Carman No.
3 gains in popularity among growers
year by year. There are other varie-
ties Of the same type equally good.
l asked one experimenter's opinion OF
them. and he replies: "Carman No. 3.
Sir Walter Raleigh and Banner stand

not consider the difference is sufficient
to warrant much odds I'm choice WIFI
