IMPORTANCE OF FARMING

& fs1f 81
The Importance of agriculture
in the financial conditions Of a
country are too little appreciated
and is being lost sight Of in some
sections very fast. In Harrison
county this is largely true. Many
of tire farmers are not half ss
busily engaged in raising crops as
they were a decade ago. To a
large extent the oil and coal IN
dustry has weakened agricultural
pursuits. There is even not the
grazing there used to be. Money
comes easily from coal and oil
and there is nothing that urges the
farmers to pursue with the old
time earnestness the raising of
crops. But they are not alto
gether to blame. Labor is scarcer.
Wages are higher because of the
oil and coal development. Farm
ers these days must either,do the
work themselves or pay high
wages. They feel TOO independ-
ent to wear themselves out in keep
ing their farms in a high state Of
cultivation and western competition
ton will not justify their raising
much more that they need for their
own use And thus it is that they
are doing but little forming,
To show how very important a
part agriculture plays in the
finances of this country, the follow
ing from the Pittsbnrg Gazette is
clipped:

in the state, and one speaker says
ten times as much business is done
here as in Toledo, Ohio, one Of The
big places; but other cities are do
ing things To keep themselves be-
fore the public eye and bring
themselves to the front. Ror in
stance, Eairmont but recently had
the Fitzgerald banquet. And thus
it Is while Clarksburg is so far
ahead, it behooves her to keep
ahead and there is nothing like
mobilizing the people from sur
rounding country at tins place

US instead Of our going away to
blow ourselves. " Y

the Fourth, il the matter is but
properly circulated among them.
Let every one know the fact that
sClarksburg is to have a big cele.
bration. They will come for more
than a radius Of forty miles, be-
cause the people have learned to
know that Clarksburg is the great
est place on the globe to- spend a
holiday, or a Sunday, OF any other
day.
With the city thronged with vis-
itors, without any thing to pay to
see the entertainments, it will be
far better than a circus day, when
the visitors have to go down in
their jeans to see the elephant and
hear the funny cracks of the clown.
And thus it is there viii be no
trouble in raising the necessary
fund for the celebrations such as
paying for fireworks, music, re-
freshments and the like. The Tel
egram verify believes thousands of
dollars can easily be raised for the
PURPOSE, and that it will be spent
the best of any money that has
been expended in Clarksburg for
years
The celebration is going to be
an event and every one can depend
on it. We will not countenance
any cold water on this proposition.
But there can be all the lemonade
and the like that the visitors want
The keys OF the city are turned
over right now.
In this connection it was very
wisely said that tho children Of
Clarksburg are liable to lose the
meaning Of the natal day, and for
that reason, if no other, there ought
to be u demonstration that will
never be forgotten. That is ex-
aetly what the people propose, and
the man who would not help it
along ought to be publicly declar-
ed a nuisance to the community.
With the determination to have

hear of any man, woman or child
discontcnancing it, because if we
do, We will certainly feel duty
bounden to put it up to such to
show why Clarksburg should not
be thoroughly American, and it will
be we'll for any of the kickers, if
there be such, to keep their kicks
to themselves. Better get in the

Some Potent Reasons
Whv You Should Vote for the Bond Issue to
Build end Equip q Modern School
Building for Henderson Township.

State. 1t boasts OF a good citizenship
enterprising business men, and progress
sive people-daily increasing manufactur-
ing, commercial and Industrial enterpris-
es, and excellent railroad facilities. 1t has
opportunities which should put it ahead
OF it's rivals in the State 1t can be done,
and the upbuilding of our educational in
situations will do more to attain this,
than any other one thing. If you think
this true, vote for the bond issue.
Having made rapid strides in the past
few years along educational lines, the de-
feat of this measure now, would mean
black eye" to our community. and
would set us back at least ten years.
Think for a moment what it would
cost you to give your child the benefit of
as good school buildings and facilities as
any other town in the State. Even if the
full limit of taxation as allowed by the
act is levied, and if you should own 81
10000 worth of property, it would be
only one dollar and fifty cents annually.
Would you for this amount have the
measure defeated?
The school buildings proposed are to
be modern in architecture and conven-
fence; up-tO-date and permanent, and are
expected to last for years, and the small
idtc vi CdAdtiOu VIII UdTuly Ue
felt. With increased school facilities
and better buildings, our population will
continue to increase, and with increase
| of population we viii have decrease in
taxation. In other words. we will have
more people to help us meet it.
Let us stand together on this import
| ant measure, and do that for which our
| children and our children's children will
bless US in the days to come. Let us vote
for this bond issue. Let us have better
school buildings. Let's give our children
| all the advantages that can be found in
| the community to secure an education.
Let's give to them that which is worth
more than lands and money, and which
| will fit them for the great struggle in
life; an Inheritance, for which they will
thank us all the days Of their existence.
| Remember, that a failure to come out
and vote for this measure, is equivalent
to voting against it. 1t is to your per-
sonal interest to see to it, that this cleo
ton shall be carried in favor of the en-
largement OF the educational institutions
of your township and town.

many people buy sedatives and all sorts
OF opiates to quiet and deaden the nerves
when they are weakening their entire
nervous system by doing so.

Miss Lizzie Leary OF Burlington, Vt,

Miss EdytheM NJ. Perry ofSt. Paul, Mimi.
