JUST A DRUMMER's YARN.

"Ycs," said an old commercial
Traveller, I've been against all the
slow and sleepy towns in this com-
try, in New England, the central
part of New York, Philadelphia
and the villages of the south, but
the worst | ever was in was a North
Carolina town of about 500. |
was handling canned goods, but the
town had never heard of such a
thing, and there was nothing doing
for me, and after an hours work /
sat down in the hotel to pass away
the hours till train timef
''WhiIc | was sitting there talk
ing to the proprietor there was a
terrible noise in the store next door.
He ran to see what had happened,
and people from various parts Of
the town came running to the scene,
the marshal among them. He ar
rested a man on the charge Of Gre
ating a disturbance. Actually, that
town was so quiet that the noise we
heard was caused by his breaking a
dollar bill.

WOULD NOT BE DOwNED
How Henry Plumley Turned What
Many Would Consider Misfortune
Into citterlng Success.

"Nothing succeeds like perseyer-
ence," said Mark Twain at a dinner.
"When the luck seems most against
MS, then we should work and hope
hardest Of all. In moments of dis
enlargement let us remember my
old friend Plumley. of Virginia
City.
"llcnry Plumley ran collar fac
tory. Times were rcputed TO be
hard with him. When his factory,
which was very heavily insured,
burned down. there was every in
dication that he had set the place
on fire himself in order to ret The
insurance money. Virginia City
was the soul of honor in those days.
Shocked beyond words, it rose en-
masse, seized Henry Plumley, put
a halter round his neck, and lynched
him.
"But he did not die. The sheriff
arrived and cut him down in time.
He was tried and found guilty, and
he served a term in jail.
con his release you wouldn't
have thought that he'd return to
Virginia City again, Ell? He did,
though He came back, reopened
his collar factory and prospered.
'What gave him his start was
the odd advertisement with which
he announced his return to business
among us. Preceded by a brass
band, Henry, in a great gilt chariot,
burst upon our streets. He sat ON
kind Of golden throne, and he
held on a crimson cushion in his
lap an old, old collar. Above the
collar on "A crimson banner waved
this inscription in huge letters Of
gold;
"'This is the collar we wore when
we were lynched. 1t saved our
life. BE wise in time and use no
other. AT all retailers. ten cents

STRANGE BIRD is SHOT.

Inhabitants in the region of Zion 5
Mill, Lee county, Virginia, are
greatly puzzled over the discovery
Of strange bird in the mountains
near by by J. F. Witt, a merchant
of that place The bird is of great
size, measuring nine feet from tip
to tip. The feathers are perfectly
white, except the tips Of the wings,
which are black.
lis head and bill are IS inches in
length, its webbed feet are seven
inches across. \ great pouch under
its bill holds a gallon of water, and
this gives the idea that the bird
mlst'be of the pelican family, found
in southern waters. 1t is supposed
that the bird was driven to the
north by a storm and lost its bear
ings. 1t will be brought to Knox-
vile, Tenn, mounted and e1hib-
tied.

DOES WORK CT b0OxKEEpER
Intricate Machine of English Invention
Can Calcyl-tc Better Than
Human Being.

A new wages calculating machine
Of English mako has recently been
brought out. The design is free
from small and intricate pieces Of
mechanism which are generally a
prolific source OF trouble. This in
strumcnt is time and labor saving
device employed in the case Of
piece-work, for quickly finding, with
out calculation. the total balance Of
money that is due Individually TO
any number Of men sharing profits
on the same contract, the divisions
being proportional to each mans
fixed daily or weekly money rate
When work is paid for on the pre-
MUM system the instrument can
also be used for finding the time
allowance that is to be added TO
the actual time occupied on the con-
tract.
The instrument consists Of two
large wheels. with broad. fiat faces,
mounted on the same spindle. The
spindle is carried at each end in
bearings fixed to the wooden sup
porting stand. One of the two
wheels is securely keyed to the
spindle and the other is free to re-
yolyc. \ spring Of sufficient
strength to cause the two wheels to
rcyoIyo together, presses the loose
wheel against the othcr.-Tcchuical

Senatorial Situation.

While some people may think that
it is none. of our business who the
Democrats select for United States
senator, we are, nevertheless, much
interested. AS the position must be
filed by a Democrat, we hope that
he will be a man Of great ability, one
who will honestly represent the people
Of Ohio and not the corporate inter-
ests.
AS the people Of Ohio have decided
that they want Democrat in the u.
S. senate rather than Republican we
want the Democrats to give us the
best man they have. While we are
always anxious for the success Of the
Republican party as we believe in its
principles and believe that its success
works for the best interest of the
country, we are not such narrow par
tisans as to wish the Democrats to
select an incompetent man or one who
represents special interests because it
is certain to benefit the Republican
party In Ohio. Whoever the Demo-
Gratis select will be i'm the senate for
six years and all the people Of Ohio are
interested that he be a man who will
represent all OF them and represent
them honestly and ably. We hope the
best man wins.

what we are going to do about our
circulation
If there Is one thing more than
another that is especially gratifying
to us i'm the growth of our circulation
1t is that the growth is healthy one
and not due to contest. We have
always been opposed to contests as
circulation lncr asers, believing that
they are an imposition on the people of
community. While we would like to
have the NEWS HERALD go into every
home in Highland county, we want 1t
to go there because the people want 1t
and not because they have been wor-
ried into taking it because by SO doing
some one will get prize. In every
contest many people take paper not
because they want 1t but to help some
one of the contestants and frequently
men in business subscribe for many
people as they do not want to make enc.
mics by not doing so. Most of the con-
testants too are disappointed only
few being successful. The unsuccess-
full ones have worked hard and get
nothing for their labor and the success
full ones are poorly paid. Anyone who
is energetic enoug 10 win prize in a
contest can make more with the same
amount of labor and time at some
legitimate occupation and that too
without imposing upon their friends.
A contest is, when all is said, an
effort on the part OF It's promoters to
secure the labor of many people for
nothing and pay few inadequately
for their services Everyone is impos-
ed upon but the promoters.
A circulation which is due to a con-
test is also nearly always largely con-
fined to certain particular sections of
the county, the places where the sue
cessful contestants reside. While
circulation which has grown as ours
has, because we are giving the people
first class newspaper all the time, is
about equally distributed over all parts
of Highland county.
We appreciate the patronage of our
subscribers and to prove that appre.
citation we are continuously at work
trying to make the NEws-HERALD the
best country newspaper anywhere.
