Name Progressive Tickets.

Speaking of the selection Of tickets
for municipal offices and of the pol
icy that ought to be pursued by the
government Of It's city, the Sisters
Vile Oil Review has the following
splendid editorial that might well
apply to every city that desires to
advance to greater proportion and
greatness:
"The Review hopes that none Of
the parties which purpose to unfurl
their banners in March viii forget
that one paramount issue which we
recently proposed: "A Greater Sis
tersyllle.' This issue totally eclip-
ses any other that may be raised for
the sake of expediency, and without
that no party is entitled to or should
receive the suffrages Of our people.
We have a municipality incompar-
able for its size and the advancement
that is its destiny should not be
jeopardized or retarded by bigots or

An Honored Old Age.

The Wheeling Intelllgencer is
agreed with in the following concern
ing clarksburg's Oldest citizen:
on Saturday last. the venerable
Luther Raymond, of Clarksburg, cell
ebrated his ninety-ninth birthday. In
the span of life time it has been
given him to see the growth of this
great republic from struggling in
fancy to lusty manhood: to see the
development of Wilderness into a
tlourishing commonwealth, the birth
and growth Of great cities, the extern
sion of national territory from the
Rockies to the Pacific, the great
struggle of the Mexican and Civil
wars, and a thousand other souls
stirring events in the history of the
American people. When we reflect
that more than half of the history of
this great country is comprised in
the life time Of a single man, we OBJ
tain some idea of the startling ra-
pidity with which this country has
grown. Truly one year of life in
such u land is worth a cycle of Ca
thay.
To the patriarch, who has rounded
his nlnety-ninth year of useful living,
the Intelllgencer extends Fluctuations.
Long life is given but to the few, and
is almost invariably the fruits Of alb
stemious habits and judicious self
control. Col. Haymond's life has
been one of usefulness, of quiet, ern-
est service for the good of his family
and his fellow men. 1t has been
spectacular, but has been dignifed,
honorable and upright, and in his
honored old age he enjoys the respect
and esteem that come from the con-
sclentious performance of duty and
the kindly consideration of your fell
low men.

fanatics or those whose stunted
minds and natures have not kept
pace with the city's progress. sis
tersyllle doesn't want men in office
whose ideas are for village placidity
and who would hold up their hands
in horror when It is proposed to
mar the symmetry of our streets by
laying rails for noisy trolley cars, or
to venture in any other Industrial
direction that means temporary In
Jury or inconvenience. Neither
does It want city officers who take
the line Of argument that public I'M
provements, for instance, a crema-
tory, are extrayagances to be decrled
and deplored. Elect men who be-
lleve the truth, that sistersville is
one OF the cleanest, most progress
slve, orderly and up-to-date cities Of
It's class in the United States or the
world and that the constant aim and
purpose should be to maintain that
advantage in these, difficult times
and to lose no opportunity to adj
vance"

WHY Credit Mere Rumor2

A Parkersburg newspaper takes
the pains to butt into the congress
sional affairs of this district. 1t
shows evidence of studied effort
just little willy, you know, for GER
tain designs, the principal one Of
which is to create disturbance among
the Republicans of the district. It's
assertions are chiefly founded either
on heresay or imagination and GER
tainly not on real fact or act. If
innocent of any design, it has made
itself unwlttingly the victim Of
credHlity, taking in all the fanciful
stories conCocted in Democratic
newspaper offices for political effect
The Telegram is obseryant, tries
to be carefully so, but so far it has
failed to learn or be informed that
any county or other organization has
taken action to behead Mr. Hubbard
as congressman from this district,
and, until such action is taken, there
is no excuse for jumping at conclu-
slons. In fact to do so, does not
show that high degree Of political
astuteness the Telegram long since
ascribed to the able editorshlp of the
pispatch-News. Again, this paper
is not inclined to the belief that the
D!spatch-News would resort to foxy
deeds in order TO elicit things that
are not.
In answer to the question pro
pounded in the caption OF this edi-
torial the opinion is more than ven
tured here that the Dispatch News
will say: "WelI, we heard it." or
course, that paper certainly can not
point out any official or other act
of any county organization in the
district that has done what it says,
under the mistaken idea conveyed by
mere rumor. Hence, why make such
positive assertions based on the
fiimsy foundation of rumor. Indeed,
the Telegram hopes its highly es-
teemed contemporary will not fall
into another egregious error.

Investigate if Necessary.

y
Thus far this newspaper has fall
ed to learn any thing to substantiate
the sensational charge made in a
front page article by the Parkersburg
Dispatch-News that the man who
died Sunday morning in local hos
pital was slain in the city prison. 1t
is true that the officers arrested him
and found him bleeding some from
the nose, hut that did not happen in
prison. The officers do not bear out
the story that any terrific fight took
place in the prison cell. Nor does
the city physician-Dr. Harvey V.
Varner-corroborate any such SEN
sational statement. TO the contrary
Dr.. Warner dispels the theory that
the fight, such as it was,' did
cause his death. But, II there be
any question about the manner Of
the mans death, it would be well
for the coroner to investigate, bring
ing out all the facts, but a mere
waste of money unless there is a
basis more than the sensational
rumor to justify it.

A Helpful Law.

One OF the several good things ac-
complished by the special session Of
the state legislature was the passing
Of the bill providing that graduates
Of the state normal schools shall be
entitled to No, / teachers certificates
for five years following the date OF
a diploma. The bill is now law
of the State, having been signed by
Governor Dawson. 1t is a good one
for the reason that it will, in all
likelihood, give further encourage
ment to teachers to take advantage
of the training facilities provided by
the normal schools and to better fit
them for the vocation of teaching.
Educators Of experience and ability
say that the law will assist material.
ly in raising the educational stand
ard of our schools.
Students Of the normal school
surely must acquire knowledge suf-
ficient to enable them to pass an
examination for a number one teach
ers' certificate before they can re-
ceice a diploma. If not the normal
school must be in bad shape and as
they are quite to the contrary there
is indeed a very small pinhole of a
chance for would-be teacher to
slide into possession of a five years

English walnuts have become the
prevailing fad in the line of tree
planting in many parts of the Will
llmette valley, where the prul.e
craze held sway Is to 20 years ago,
and many prune trees are being up
rooted to make room for those pro-
ducing the toothsome nut, says the
Portland Telegram
The walnut tree begins to bear in
the fourth year, and is supposed to
become profitable the sixth, al
though it is generally understood
that the grower must wait 10 to II
years for the best returns. After
the tenth year the business of wal
nut growing is said to pay better
than any other agricultural enter
prise in the state. The trees to be
set out in the tract in question are
to be three years old, and so are to
begin to pay for the trouble and ex-
pense within three or four years of
the time of planting.
Why wouldn't it be good scheme
for Lincoln county orchardists tc
set out walnuts? We have the eli.
mate and undoubtedly the soil fol
the production Of nuts. Walnuts
do well here as has been proven by
several farmers who have few tree:
growing. Try walnuts.
