spent lie for Others to pattern after

Road dragging has firmly got hold

Park have stood alone for years.
They believed the principle was right
and was q moral duty that man
owes to the work animals as well as
to his neighbor. A man that looks
to his own interest only comes short
OF the fulfillment OF the moral law,
when he can sit Idly by aud look at
bis horse and his neighbours horse
pull through deep mud hole along
his acres OF land. God created the
horse and mule as we'll as man, who
is our neighbor. The man that will
not treat animals right, will not
treat his neighbors kindly. We are
glad that the spirit Of humanity has
got hold OF 80 many. We passed a
church not long ago with deep mud
hole at the platform. We don't be-

The wise men for miles around Vir-
0inia have been gathering at Virginia
for several days, and they are about
equally divided, each side contending

a straight one. We fear il they do

get road dragging and all moral
questions OF the dav. Judge Wolfe
is already neglecting court, aud
esquire Hockett has entirely dropped
the matrimonial question.
| Aaron met "Gabe." Peeler. WISE
man and Judge Cole Saturday.
Aaron had formed a wrong opinion
as to the makeup OF Gabe. We
thought he was a small man, white
headed, white chin whiskers When
we got to see him, we found him to
be q large man, broad shoulders and
broad minded, large social qualities.
