:PREsIpENT HESS SPEAKS.

President Hess, Of the West Vir-
gtnia Editorial Association, mas the
following very interesting statement
In his paper. the Warrington Enter,
prisce, Of recent date:
'iAs to the inquiries we have mad
and the comment Of the press as to
whether the editors will be carried
free to the meeting Of the Associa-
ltion We would say that our replies
from Baltimore say they are unable
to say for the present what their
policy will be. AS to the com,
.ments Of the press on the question
of this killing the Association, we
would say that since the meeting ss
Ito be 50 far from the center Of the
State We would appreciate your
booming tho meeting rather than
knocking. Give us your aid in SO.
curing a good meeting. 1t will be
hard enough even with free trans.
portation."
The railroad company seems very
uncertain Of itself on several propo'
sitions Just now. but we hope it will
get to paying its Just and full share Of
taxes, make some badly needed inl-
proyements and give everybody a
straight two.cent fare before II
changes its mind on the pass ques.
ton.

sIsERT NOT MARRIED.

The West Virginian is unwilling to
do any man an injustice and in order
TO be perfectly fair we desire to state
that an examination Of Sergeant ST.
bert's record shows that he is not .
married man. That sibert was caught
In bad company and caused quite
a stir in army circles here, is true
and the West vlrginian gave the
plain, unvarnlshed facts about the case
as It knew them; but we are reliably
Informed that he Is not married and
We cheerfully make the correction. II
nov turns out that he has some
friends here who believe he has been
somewhat imposed upon and a re
quest has been made of Captain Bar
bour not to close the station. An an
swer is expected before long from
that officer. In any event, sibert will
be transferred as this unfortunate Of
fair would make it inadyisable fol-
him to remain.

LETTER TO JOHN DOEAHOE
fredericksburg, Va


Dear Sir The way 10 reckon thecost OIL
paint is to put both costs together: the
cost OF the paint and the cost OF putting
il on.
IL would save this country hundedsOi
millions Of dollars year; it would save
you alone iii you happen to be a victlm)
several dollars year.
See how il works. ltcOsts as much to
pnt-on one paint as another, don't II?
Yes, if you use the same number OF
gallons.
Well, don't |?
No. You'll use twice as many gallons OF
adulterated paint as Dcyoe; and you've
got to pay twice as much for putting it
on.
MrN Avery, Delhi, n Y, has two houses
alike and in same condition. Painted
one house with DevOe: Ggallons. Paint
ed the other house with paint that was
