Another meeting in the interest OF
the proposed trolley line will be held
at Onley next Tuesday and the indi-
cations are, that steps will be takel
on the day looking TO its establish
ment between certain points, hereto
fore reported in these columns, at an
early date. To that end, according
to advices received by us, consider
able. sum of money has already been
subscribed-from fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars-and the prospect
for adding to that sum now is SC
bright that enough money is expect
ed to be raised even to give the home
stockholders in the proposed road q
controlling interest in it. That the
people along the proposed routes
heartily approve the movement and
are willing TO put up the money nee
essary for building the road. if it car
be shown that it would be a paying
investment, there can be no question,
Figures will he SUI mitted at the next
meeting which, 1T is believed, will
remove all doubt in the matter by the
vice-president and general manager
of the Tazewell electric road. That
we may act intelligently in the mat
ter, as many as can, should be pres
ent at the meeting at Onley mex
Tuesday to hear him.

Our farmers, if they could utilize
much on their premises that is now
allowed to go to waste, would not be
rich, perhaps, beyond the dreams of
avarice, but i'll the opinion of Pro-
fessor Wiley, of the department of
agriculture, they would be much bet
ter off than they are at present. Corn
stalks for instance, which they regard
as if no special value, could be made,
he says, to yield them considerable
revenue. Their value is told by HIM
in the following:
Say that one acre will yield from
ten to twelve tons of grain stalks, or
about 10000 pounds, and you have a
quantity of raw material which will
produce 1900 pounds of absolute
alcohol, or 216 gallons. Alcohol at the
prs sent time is worth forty cents a
gallon. Ground in wet condition and
dried cornstalks may be kept indefi-
nitely, and are ready at any time for
conversion into alcohol. The alcohol
derivable from the cornstalks that
now 90 to waste in this country would
not only drive all the machinery OF
our factories, but would furnish the
requisite power for all our railroads
and steamboats,, run all of our auto
mobiles, heat and illuminate all of ouI
houses and light the streets of every
city in the Union"

The testimony of Mr.. Cooke, trafh
manager of the New York, Philadel
phia and Norfolk Railroad, as to the
earnings of said road "per passengei
mile" given before the State Cor
poration Commission and publishe'
in another column, will leave no one
in doubt as to the justice of a two
cent fiat passenger rate by said road
and in that view Mr.. Cooke himself
practically concurs. The earnings OF
the road too-twice as much as the
"per train mile' income of any othel
road in the United States-gives us
the right to expect more in Other
respects than we have received in
the past. With the data submit
ted, showing not only an annua
dividend of ten per cent. but
an increase of one-fourth in its
stock, it cannot now be said, that the
stockholders cannot afford to spend
some money in improving their road
bed, for better car service, &C., and
the people have the right not only to
expect but to demand that they pro-
vide better for their safety and COM
fort in the future.
Patrons of the thrift and industry
that its earnings show theirs be art
entitled to decent treatment in every
way, and we should insist that they
give to us not only better equipped
road but more trains. Another loca
train North is now needed and should
be given us at once.

Don't Blame the Cook

If your bread and pastry IS the

kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty of the
offense.
Our flour makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
j rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in quality-Monday, Tuesday,

Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our

superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole,

Burial of Sir John Moore.

Burial OF Sir John Moore.
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral
note,
As his corse to the rampant we hurried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
Ger the grave where our hero we
buried.
We buried him darkly at dead Of night.
The sods with our bayonets turning.
BY the struggling. moonbeams' misty
light
And the lanterns dimly burning.
No useless coffin inclosed his breast.
Nor In sheet nor In shroud we woun
him.
But he lay like a warrior taking his rest.
With his martial cloak around him..
Few and short were the prayers we said.
And we spoke not a word of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face of
the dead,
And we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought rs we followed his narrow
bed
And smoothed down his lonely pillow
That the foe and the stranger would
tread DER his head
n we far away on the billow.
Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's
gone
n Ger his cold ashes upbraid him.
But little he'll reck. II they let him sleep
on
In the grave where a Briton has laid
him.
But half of our heavy task was done
When the clock struck the hour for re-
firing.
Ard we heard the distant and random
u
That the foe was sullenly firing.
Slowly and sadly we laid him down.
From the field of his fam fresh and
CORY;
We carved not a line, and we raised not
q stone.
But we left him alone in his glory.
