Mr.. Rutherford Replies.

EDITOR COURIER
VIII you kindly publish the fol-
lowing:
intend to lay the truth before
the people of this community.
although | had intended to drop
the matter until Mr.. Bush published
that article in the Charles Town
paper that did not give me Justice.
While a few of my friends and
l were wandering around over the
school ground on February s, we
went into the stable on the school
ground (as 1T was snowing) where
the Bush boys kept their mules.
We had not been in there very long
when Herman and Grover Bush.
Frank Galloway and Henry Star
key came there, each armed with
knife and a brick. Herman
Bush called for his mules and |
politely told him TO come on and
get them, which he and his brother
did, and then tied them to the
fence. Then Frank Galloway said:
There is Jim Rutherford he is a
dirty, lOw-lived dog" which in
suited me, and | went out of the
stable and asked him what he
meant by that. He replied that he
meant just what he said. and |
struck at him, but he lodged and
| did not strike him. Then my
friends said. I'VE will bump him
for that, and grabbed him. |
stood aside until Herman Bush
came running up with his knife
open, and said to him, Don't
cut anybody with that knife" He
cursed me, and grabbed him and
held him against the fence. Then
Grover Bush came running up to
me and stopped. Not thinking of
him cutting me | looked 10 see
what the boys were doing with
Galloway. Then Grover stabbed
me. let loose of the fence and
struck him in the face, turning him
around, and he ran off down street
after the police.
Mr.. Bush stated that | struck
him before he stabbed me, but any
level-headed man knows that
would not strike an armed man
who was not troubling me when
was engaged with another armed
man.
am inclined to say that it was
a very cowardly trick for him To
stab me when had not done any
thing to him or even said anything
TO him, and | think there are others
who will agree with me.
And | am perfectly willing TO
have the matter investigated and
the blame placed where it belongs.

Institute Well Attended.

The Farmers Institute, under
the direction of the Virginia De-
partment of Agriculture. which
was held at the Courthouse last
Wednesday was well attended. and
every address was given the closest
attention.
The binding snow storm which
prevailed during the entire fore
noon kept large number of farm
ers away who would otherwise
have been present.
Hon. G.. w. Koiner. Commits
sloner of Agriculture, was unable
to be present ON account of illness.
and his subject was. handled by
Prof. ;. b. Hedges, of the Test
Farm at SAKE, Va. Professor
Heiges is a thoroughly practical
man, and his lecture was one of
great interest TO every farmer.
His subject, Modern Farming, :"
offered a wide range for his talents
as farmer and lecturer. and he
did not fail to touch up practically
every point of interest.
Prof. Andrew NJ. Soule, dean of
the College of Agriculture and
director cf the Experiment Station,
talked on THE Rational Use of
Cattle Foods" This lecture was
Especially valuable to the cattle
raising interests Of the County.
Prof. II. j. Davidson. who talk
ed on The Application OF Com
.mercial Fertilizers handled his
Subject in an excellent manner.and
the information received by his
hearers was extremely valuable if
applied with close attention to de-
tail.
Mr.. G. Powell holland, Virginia
Agent for Edmund Mortimer &
Co, of New York, importers of
Peruvian Guano, made an an
nouncement to the effect that the
competent parts of fertilizers could
be bought in any quantity through
his firm, who are represented in
this section by the Berryville Mill
ing Company.
These Farmers Institutes. which
are being held all over the State.
under the direction of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. are doing
great good in disseminating infor-
nation To the farmers. fruit grow
ers and cattle raisers of Virginia.
and have now become regular
annual affair.
In the West, the different States
have special trains which go out
over the different railroads and
give illustrations and experiments
free to the farmers. If the attend
ance and interest throughout Vir-
ginia does not abate, and continues
to grow as heretofore. it is very
probable that the Virginia Depart
ment of Agriculture will fit up ex-
pertinent trains and run them over
the State every year.
The farmers who attended the
session last Wednesday went away
wiser in every respect, and those
who failed TO attend missed some,
thing of great value and interest t
themselves.

Yet, after all, though the prob

before us differ from the tasks set
before our fathers who founded
and preserved this Republic, the
spirit in which these tasks must be
undertaken and these problems
faced, if our duty is to be well
done, remains essentially unchang-

no people needs such high traits of
character as that people which
