Let me show the picture l like the
best of ALL" and taking us down
cellar she showed us her fruit clos
ct. Along rhe side of the airy eel
lar were ranged cupboards for
fruit. !
There was a sauce cupboard, the ,
jam cupboard, the preserve shelf

tiful picture to any hOuSekeeper but
the owner Of the stores complained
that she was so tired she could
hardly breathe" and in the next
breath pointed out a shelf of fruit
and preserves five years old"
This lady had taken thought for
the morrow" but she hadn't enjoyed
one of the beautiful days of sum-
mer. When it wasn't strawberries
it was cherries, currants, raspber-
ries, blackberries, peaches, pears,
apples. tomatoes and cucumbers,"
she sighed, but | have something

Jack wanted to take a vacation this
summer, but told him he wouldn't
have a thing to eat next winter if
he went away, and he would not 60
without me"
We fancied Jack would have
been happier with the holiday, and
a rested wife, than with the cellar
full of fruit. Certainly we would
have had the family devour the
fruit of five years previous before
putting up more. 1t is very bad
policy to refuse to 60 with ones
husband if there is no better rea-
son for the refusal than work to
be done" There will be work to
be done every day for generations
to come but if by eliminating the
things which ale not absolutely
necessary, time can be had for
COmpanionship with ones husband
and children, it is surely the better
way to eat dried fruit and sorghum
molasses, or plain sauce and honey
or sugar syrup than to be a slave
to the cOOkstove in saving all thu
fruit on the place. The cost o
saving may be more than the say
ing is worth. One should GuarC

Only Want Building to
Protect Records.

county favor a new court house. AS
the Paris papers are talking about
a 100000 building aud for us that
seemed a little too high we have
talked with a large number of the
taxpayers here We found some
WhC 60 not want a new court house
as they believe the old one is safe.
If they are convinced the old one
is not safe they will nearly all vote
for q new one. Then, we find others
who want a new court house but
want 1t built in Monroe City and
say that Monroe City will make
an interesting proposition to
the County. There are others who
think that if Paris wants an orna-
mental court house Paris should at
least pay for the ornaments as the
county is under no obligation to
ornament Paris.
The great majority think $4,000
enough for the county to pay for
the building as that amount would
build one large enough, with enough
ornaments and building in which
the records would be safe and that
is all the taxpayers will stand for.
We found some who would vote for
a $4,000 or even a 100000 build
ing but the percent is so small that
the cheaper building proposition is
the one to be submitted if it is de-
sired to carry.
The Democrat believes that a
new court house should be built and
candidly will say that the cost
; must not be over fifty thousand
dollars to the taxpayers Of the
county and furr hermore, if our peO-
pie are like those i'll other parts Of
: the county that is the only PROPOSE
ton that will carry We have the
!, figures to show that that is the way
it stands down here Then nearly
all favor a twenJy-year bond issue.
No mistake must be made in sub
mittin8 the question to the voters.

Hog Cholera.

Several farmers in this vicinity
are losing their hogs and the dis
ease is supposed to be cholera. DR..
Conway, the veterinarian in the eX-
pertinent station has been COM
mumcated with. c. Egbert Wilson
the assistant in Hog Cholera work
arrived yesterday morning for the
purpose of inOculatin9 hogs with
anti-cholera serum. The services
of Mr.. Wilson and the serum is
furnished free, the farmers, however
are expected to pay the expenses
of the man using the serum. The
object of the state is to control the
disease. Mr.. Wilson advises that If
any sick hogs be in the herd that
the well ones be taken out at once
if possible. If not take out the sick
ones and disinfect the premises
with lime thrown on lots, carbolic
acid is good on beds. feed troughS'
etc. Be sure to burn all hogs. The
veterinary department desires to
keep in touch with all new out
breaks of cholera in order that they
may get the outbreak under control
before it has spread too much. Il
cholera breaks out in your hero
kindly advise the Democrat how
many hogs in herd, how many sicl
and how many dead. And be surC
to burn all dead hogs.

opposition was formed, but that it will
develop seems assured. The trouble
appears to be that the Board of
Trade is dominated by manufacturing
interests and the impression appears
to prevail that organization among
the workers means better wages and
less extortionate profits.
The Trades Assembly sincerely re-
grets this turn Of affairs, as at every
meeting from the first the kindliest
spirit has been manifested toward the
business interest, with the hope being
constantly expressed that they would
work in harmony with organized La
Dor to the betterment Of living condi-
tons for the people Of Moundsville.
The mercantile members of the Board
of Trade. in listening to the selfish
motives Of the manufacturers, are be-
ing led contrary to their own best in
terests, however. for the merchants
get all that Labor RECEIVES. and higher
wages means more retail and whole
sale business. It cannot mean any
thing else.

Watson and Chiffon.
Thus the Senatorial coupel selected
by the Democrats of West Virginia
stands Clarence w. Watson and Will
liam e. Chiffon.
Clarence w. Watson.
Clarence W. Watson is a thorough
going type of the corporationist in
politics. It is currently charged that
he, gave $4,000 to the Democrats
during the past campaign, and in re-
ceiving the Senatorship, simply col
lected the goods for which he had al
ready paid. He has never been known
asa Democrat, as regards the party
principle which theoretically underlies
the party as a political organization,
and it has long been openly stated
that he has not only contributed fnan
cially to the Democrat campaign, but
that he has also contributed to the
Republican party's war chest. It is
stated that there is on file in the Re-
publican committee of Ohio county 4
letter which accompanied an enclo-
sure of good sized check. Watson
is said to live in Fairmont, and really
has palatial mansion there, but
spends more of his time in baltimore
and New York.
William (. Chiffon.
William E. Chiffon is the type of
political boss made possible by the
type of Watson corporationist. The
Watsons put up the money and the
Chiltons handle it. When Chiffon
was state officer his handling of the
state funds secured for him the name
of willie Everpay" Chiffon.

to get the Labor vote, that he would
make the president of the Trades AS
sembly, M. ]. Snyder, his deputy
sheriff, and then, after he had got the
votes and been elected, violated his
promise and turned President Snyder
and Labor down, appointing a man
who did not even take part in the
campaign.
The resolution, which was passed
Sunday unanimously by the Assembly,
thoroughly covers the subject, and is
as follows: a.
The Resolution.
Whereas: John H. Anderson, the
present sheriff of Belmont county,
owes his election mainly to the votes
of the Labor organizations of said
county of which this central body is
the duly authorized head, and,
Whereas: Said John H. Anderson
long ago recognized that his nomina
ton and election was dependent up
on the votes and support of the Labor
element, and also upon the withdrawal
from the race of M. ]. Snyder, true
union man and a loyal Democrat
who was being strongly urged by the
Labor element to become a candidate
for said Office on the Democratic
ticket, and.
Whereas: Said Anderson, in order
to accomplish his political ends, made
such declarations and overtures OF
friendliness toward organized Labor
as to induce that element to believe
his protested friendship sincere, and
whereby Mr.. Snyder willingly with
drew from the contest and he and the
great body Of Labor united SO earn
estly in support of said Anderson as
to make his election sure, and,
Whereas: Said Anderson, in his
overtures of friendship for Labor,
both before and after his nomination
on several occasions, practically ask
ed and led Mr. Snyder to believe that
he (Snyder) would be appointed
chief deputy in the sheriff's office in
the event of the election of Anderson,
and,
Whereas: After his election, An
derson repudiated this virtual promise
to Snyder and the Labor element
and instead of appointing Snyder,
selected a man who for many months
past had been living in the North
western part of the United St&sas ana
who had not been in the county :
to work during the campaign oT" 10
vote at the election. In view OF the
above facts, therefore, be it,
Resolved: That the Belmont Trades
and Labor Assembly, speaking for ~
self and affiliated Labor organizations
as well as other Labor organizations
not affiliated, unqualifedyl condemn
the bad faith of Sheriff Anderson to-
ward Labor and declare him an enemy
of the same. And be it further
Resolved: That in later offering M.
]. Snyder the pitiful Office Of county
jailor, in an effort to repair his mis-
take when he saw that Labor was not
likely to tamely submit to his BAD
faith in violating his implied word
has not only insulted M. ]. Snyder
but has gone out of his way to oftsr
an affront to Labor that will not DO
forgotten.
