Is Halley's comet responsible for
the eccentric weather we have had
this spring? Many persons believe
so, while others hold to the contra
ry view. Mr.. II. f. Hillen meyer of
Lexington, is out in newspaper

previous years Of comets there was
almost complete crop f0ilue.
There was a comet in 1858, and
Mr.. Hillenmeyer gives the follow

that time:

COM M ENTS
Upon the Candidacy Of A. E. Kenney
Braxton Democrat

MIR. Kenney is citizen of Calhoun conn
ty and is lawyer, statesman and politician
of statewide reputation. He has served
several terms in the House of Delegates
from HIS county and was always leader Of
the Democratic side. He would make us
a splendid Senator.
PocahOntas Tines
This gentleman Is a lawyer of the CAL
houn bar and has represented that county
in the Legislature several terms, aud was
very prominent in the lower house as an
orator and floor leader. He is a very astute
politician and on several occasions served
on the State campaign committee. He has
received the endorsement OF Calhoun coun-
ty. We have the kindest feeling for the
gentleman, but we have a candidate for
the Office this year ourselves, and think
that Calhoun should yield to Pocahontas
under the circumstances. We hope to see
Calhoun supporting our candidate should
her favorite son fail in his ambitions at
this time We think good deal Of Mr..
Kenney and are sorry to give him pam,
but we think we will give him a fine OPP
portunity to move to make the nomina-
ton of Mr.. McClintic unanimous.

The editor, accompanied by
John S. Cain, one Of the leading
stocknlen of Gilmer county, had
the pleasure of looking over the
fine herd of Hereford cattle
owned by Messrs. A. and r. c..
Hardman, at their Maplewood
stock farm below town last Fri
day. They own about ninety
head of thoroughbreds, and
among them are some as fine cat
tie as the world produces. The
whole herd is excellent, but
some of their younger cattle,
with which they have taken
great care in their breeding, ex-
eel anything it has ever been our
pleasure to look at. The great
bull, Beau Donnald, 87th, for
which these gentlemen paid the
princely sum of Stops. 90, is a
magnificent specimen, and his
owners believe him to be one of
the best bulls in the United
States. In September, this year
they will take about forty of the
best young brutes of their herd
to Spencer, where they will have
a sale. The great bull Beau
Bummell will be included in this
sale and many of as fine bulls
and heifers will be offered as
were ever put up in the United
States.

President Willard at Parkersburg.
May Inspect the Little Kauawha R. R.

President Willard, of the B.
and 0. system, is expected to ar.
rive here tomorrow, in his pri-
vate car, for the purpose of max
ing a tour of inspection over the
line of the Little Kanawha rail
road.
This will be the first trip of
President Willard over the l.. K
r. r. and much significance is
being attached to it. 1t is being
rumored that it means that the
L. K. is to be extended in the
very near future. A step of this
kind would forestall the tapping
OF the upper county coal fields
by extended improvements of
the river by the government.
The rumor is no surprise to
those who have watched the de-
velopement of the L. X. Ever
since the B. & o. took it over,
it has been expected by the in
lated that an extension would
follow ultimately. Such a course
would only follow out the inten-
tons of the original builders and
promoters Of the l.. K. and
would prove a popular move all
along the line. State Journal,
