It is to me the most queer thing
The different prices thing does bring:
To Fredericksburg, 25 cents on the Car.
oline--
One dollar and quarter on other boats
OF the line.
Fifty cents foi meals on some of the
boats,
The Caroline only TWENTY-FIVE for your
feed of oats"
Why all this cannot perceive,
Unless it is to cause US to grieve
That things are not the same as they
seem
When you come TO travel on the line
called "Weems."
When people desire better accommoda-
ton
From point to point of a location,
And are met with answer, ut will not
pay"
And another line tries TO show the way,
Why cut the rates on one boat slone9
This does not all the fault condone.
Ii the thing done, is not done right,
Il leaves rs In a pretty plight
IL on day we miss the Caroline"
The other boats on the same line
Will cause US cash five times 10 show,
IL to Fredericksburg we must go.
These things seem queer, as 1 said before,
Unless they own the river from shore to
shore,
And il they drive opposition away
No accommodation" will win the day,
Aud twice week will be the time,
Walk, or wait for the Weems Line.
Miss Douglass Northup and sister,
Miss Florence, are visiting in Freder-
icksburg.
1t is some time yet to Jan uary, but
we are to have next year three hotels
in Warsaw.
VIM. Parr will soon be down. to
his farm "Islaud" to spend a long
vacation and see how well the farm
has been managed in his interest.
Hon. j. NJ. Lyell is man of pro-
gress and will in introducing a new
business venture in the county add
much to his many good deeds in be-
half of his people.
Warsaw is to have enough stores,
L am certain, which shows that bust
ness enterprise knows when a good
opening is offered.
The clerk of the county appears as
happy as rose in June since his
term without a contest is found to
extend to 1906.
L. ID. Marks is going to show that
he knows how to pickle, and this is
different FROM being in a pickle as
our friend Bryan is, / am sorry to
say.
Q. Homer Lyons spends every Sun
day IN the county, but am not 60
ing to tell why. You can all guess,
however, as he is fond of ladies' So
ciety.
Schools being closed and the schol-
airs being home there is nothing for
the boys but baseball, aud Warsaw
is right on top when it comes to
meeting the rival mines.
Labor is scarce in the county aud
there is project on foot to get some
from the cities. We all hope that
the effort will be successful.
K. U. Northup is at Wheaton and
the prospects are that he will remain
there some time. He likes the peo-
pie and enjoys the life there led. He
is in hopes that his family will soon
join him and enjoy the change from
present location.
II seems We are not to have Hill,
But a man named Parker to fill the bill.
Times ripen for efforts to conquer the
trusts
That rule moneyed centers undercrust.
Cleveland no more can make the ME
That Capital eats and flies on so high.
But We will surely win In 1904
This Is certain, I'll say no more.
So say we all In FARNuAm.

IN PLACE OF COUNTY COURT.

The fredericksburg Free Lance
offers the following suggestion in
lieu OF the soon-to-be abolished
county court, but we have seen no
suggestion yet that will knock out
Lucius Flippo's idea of alternating
District courts, Confederate reunions
and horse-trading bazaars under the
auspices of such noted equerries as
Bunny Webb and Mat Donahoe.
Says the Lance:
Many people are inquirins as to
what can be inaugurated to take the
place of the County Court days,
which will soon be thing of the
past. The new Constitution has
wiped out the court, but 1t has not
destroyed the strong love the farmers
have for those monthly gatherings
and their desire to substitute some
thing in the place of the court to
draw them together. Some have
suggested horse sales or stock ex-
changes, which would be acceptable
to many, but it Is feared that two
such meetings in quarter would
soon lose their interest and the
farmers would not attend them. To
keep the meeting from becoming
monotonous, there might be added
farmers institutes, and discussions
on other matters of public interest,
such as good roads, improvement of
the public schools of the county, and
many other things that might draw
the people together once month.
when there is no Circuit Court, and
be discussed with profit to all who
attend and to the matters discuss ed.
Let the farmers think of these
things, and if they are considered
worthy of attention, raise a commit
tee to take the matter in hand and
provide for the various meetings
and speakers, taking care not to
overlook home talent in looking after
persons to interest and instruct the
people.

ANENT the recent baccalaureate
sermon of DIR. Van Dyke, that a
strenuous life is a"nervous spasm,"
we are reminded that man had
better wear out than rust out. The
man that is cold and lethargic may
outlive his nervous energetic brother,
but the chances are that his life is a
nonentity, no good to his country or
his fellow man. The nervous man is
usually an excitable one, but with all
his mistakes he usually amounts to
something and his hand will be
missed when gone.

Among the recent features pre-
pared by the archaeological Depart

inches high, having four or five toes,
with which he scampered over the

earth.

NORTHUMBERLAND NOTES.

July court promises to be a big
day with the people of Northumber-
land. Judge Wright, known and
loved by all our people, will be on
hand to assist in the presentation of
number of portraits of men here
tofore prominent in the affairs of
this county. Eloquent speeches will
be made in which will be WILDLY set
forth the virtues and characteristics
of the men who stepped upon life's
stage and acted well their part. The
unveillng of these pictures forms a
striking object lesson to our young
men. Our very best musical talent
will furnish numerous selections.
We hope the people of the county
will show their appreciation of Judge
Wrights efforts to make beautiful
their courthouse by their attendance
at that time.
Thomas III. Fallin has notified
Judge Ewell that he would resign as
Supervisor of Heathsville district,

ter a careful survey of the eligibles
we unhesitatingly pronounce in
favor of John e. Belts. Mr.. Belts
has served in this capacity before
and made model officer. If ap-
pointed he can be elected this fall
without opposition. We. sincerely
hope the court will select him for
the position.
Our boysare making arrangements
for the ball contest on Thursday. We
went down in defeat before the Kill
marnock team last year, but hope
for better results this season. The
Northumberland team is a strong
one, well managed, and if overcome
ball has got to be played.
Mac Morgan has been quite sick
of late.
w. p. Anderson is selling buggies
faster than he can order them, and

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils Of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
foilows:- =
"lt gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that / could hardly walk
without help. used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. was completely cured"

Rarest nf Pheasants.

Country Life ia America: OF all the
phcasants the great Argus Is the rarest
and NOSE peculiar in Mis- habits. In his
wild state he inhabits the dense forests
of Sumatra, the Javan peninsula, and he
Is also found in similar localities in Bor-
nco. The big birds are large and tender,
and rarely ever take to wing. There Is
no record Of one ever being shot. So
shy are they hat only a modern rife
could reach one, even If a man could be
found cruel enough to pull the trigger.
They are, however, trapped by the ma
tives for their wonderful wing feathers,
Of which nature can produce no equal in
a feather way. The male bird, when full
ly grown, is about seven feet in length.
HI shows no beauty until his wings are
spread; then you forget where and who
you are. He lives the life Of a bachelor
q modern bachelor. He fans a spot on the
level earth with his wings, some ten or
twelve feet square, near his bachelor
apartments. Here he comes frequently,
except when moulting, and displays his
enormous wings, like a butterfly or a
skirt dancer, by erecting his wings out
over past his head, where the peculiar
argus eyes are revealed in a diagonal po-
%sition, at which slant they show off to the
best effect.
Perhaps the best and finest of the true
pheasants are the Reeves inhabiting the
mountains of China, their tail feathers
frequently reaching the enormous length
of six feet. They are hardy, standing any
winter weather and any degree of heat,
never becoming quite as tame as some
Of the others. The male bird displays his
plumage by swelling up and drawing in
the head as though ready to burst, and
then jumping stiff-legged in a big circle
around his hen, his long tail being held
almost straight up.
