 Rare Indian Relies.
 An unusually rare and interesting Indian relic was unearthed the other day on farm near White Horse. N. J. TAe relic. evidently the work Of some Indian sculptor, is of baked clay and represents the head Of an h. dian. The head is two and a half inches long and an inch and a half wide. Shell ornaments, known to have been used by the Delaware In- dians, are attached to the ears. while the lips and nose have been slightly abraded. The artistic ability shown in this relic is said to nave been unusually high for an Indian.

TO TEACH APPLE PACKING
Apple Growers of This County Will
Be Given Instructions by Experts
From the State College.
success.

So much interest was manifested in
the box packing of apples ON the spe-
cial agricultural train recently run
through Eastern West Virginia by the
state College of Agriculture and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad that il
| has been determined TO carry the
work still further. For this purpose
packers have been engaged for the
month of September to go into these
communities where sufficient interest
is manifested and give practical in
struction in the packing of apples in
boxes. Since it requires considerable
practice to enable man to pack a box
neatly and quickly, 1t will be impossi-
BILE because of lack of time for the
demonstrators to visit and train each
grower separately. If several grow
ers or their packers will get togeth 1r
in any convenient orchard for a few
days, they will be given all the neces-
sary training required for packing
boxed apples.
The State College of Agriculture
pays Oil cdldA iSo anu CApChStS Vi mo
expert instructors, so that 40 obliga-
tons, financial of otherwise, rest up
on the growers who attend these or
chard packing schools, except that
they are expected to have materials
on hand to work with, such as paper,
boxes. packing tables. etc. A detailed
list of these articles with information
as to where they may be secured will
be furnished upon request. If you wish
TO secure one of these schools in your
locality talk the matter over with
your neighbors and if several will at
tend send an application at once to w.

APPLE CARNIVAL.
suoagted That show Be Held While
Apples Are Still on Trees In
stead of After Picking.

From The World Of Tuesday:
The committee appointed by the
Derkely County Horticultural Associa-
tlon for the purpose of selecting a
date for the Apple Carnival TO be held
here this fall, met last night at the
Office I'd Justice s. 8. Felker
This committee consists OF s. S. Felix
er, chairman; DIT. E. H. Bitner, DR.. W.
K. Langford. Edgar l.. Henshaw and
Clifford w. Tabler.
II was decided to hold the carnival
earlier In the season than heretofore,
and the time suggested was Ssptem'
Ter 1890. This action OF the commit
tee will be reported to the orchard
meeting Of the association at Mr.. HON
or Small's on Thursday of this week
fod its approval.
I.agt year and the year before the
apple show was held early in Novem-
be1, after the apples had all been pick
ed and many of them shipped out OF
the county. Thus, in some instances,
The best specimens Of the crop were
rot obtainable, and the fruit exhibit,
however meritorious II may have
been, might have been little better.
By holding the carnival before the fall
apples are picked first and best
choice of fruit can be had. But there
is another consideration the commit
tee has in mind. Many people from
distance VISIT the apple show in Mar
tinsburg, and by holding the carnival
while the apples are still on the trees
the visitors, or those so desiring, could
be taken around and shown some OF
Berkeley coulty's famous apple orch
srds when they are looking their best,
laden as they would be with lucious
looking fruit, instead of showing them
bare trees in November. The i'm
rression left ON the visitor by the
former plan could not be otherwise
than favorable and would be the best
kind of a practical advertisement.
The place for holding the carnival
has not been defnitly determined up
on though Firemen's Hall has been
suggested. Last year and the year
before the show was held in the rink,
but that building has been leased for
a garage and lis so occupied. But
wherever it is held it is sure to be a
success.

MOTHERS NOT ALL TO BLAME.

Mothers to blame for four million
bachelors; parents who marry an I'M
equipped girl to young man who has
yet to make his way in the world per
petrate froud," such is the state
nlent made by writer in a wOman's
column of a newspaper. There is
some truth in it, but just how much
truth IT is hard to discover. At the
same time. there are some men so
"nonery" that it is a blessing. TO any
girl that these men should choose
Eachelorhocd Ii would be a great
deal worse thar cruelty to animals to
yoke a woman with them, for it would
be truly yoke that would bind them
and a heavy yoke at that The re-
sponsibility for unequipment for mar
age does not lay alone with the
mothers, nor is it confined to the fe-
male sex. Young men who become
beer guzzlers and frequenters Ct the
gambling dens, with a positive dis
taste for work, would make no girl a
desirable husband The burden is not
& lone upon the mother. Father also
has his responsibilities aad the scion
who is to bear and perpetuate, in
honor or disgrace, the fathers name,
needs a little looking after too, and in
some respects in many ways in
which only father himself can Offici-
ate. Don't blame it all on the wo-
man.

wHAck THE "sooTLEGeER."

The bootlegger is an admittedly evil
cutgrowth of prohibition in any com
munity.
Arrests for bootlegging are also FIRE
qUently made in communities that ara
not under compulsory temperance
laws.
But 1t is frankly admitted by even
the most rabid prob bitionists that
this species of law-breaker is more
frequently found in the prohibited ter
ritory than in territory where liquor
is openly sold by licensed and regulat-
cd dealers.
That this argument is sometimes
used against prohibition by those in
favor of the licensed saloon is beside
the question here, and is not TO be
taken into consideration.
The main thing is to whack the per-
n.cious and vicious bootlegger, and
whack him hard. He is a double
felon, panderer to uncomfortable ap-
petites and a seducer of the young aid
irresponsible. He peddles his vile
stuff to whomsoever he may whether
It be the man of go OF the boy of 16,
working secretly and In the dark, and
leaves his Shiny trail behind him as
long as he can evade the law. The Ii
censed saloon-keeper is compelled by
law to sell goods of a certain stand
ard, but the bootlegger is not ham
pered by any restrictions, and ped
dies his horrible decoction of prune
juice, rosin, red pepper and rain water
to old and young alike.
A majority OF the people of Martins
burg voted the town dry" at the spe-
cial election last spring, and the town
should very properly be made 'dry"
until the legally constituted authori-
ties give the people the right TO sell
liquor in open market, under such re-
strictions and safeguards as may be
deemed best and proper.
This is not question between pro-
hibitionist and the advocate OF the sa-
loon. 1t is a matter, purely and sim
ply, OF preventing crimes by thoss
who have absolutely no regard for
law OF deceacy.
There is a law against such prac-
tees, and it is the duty of every re-
spector of that law to aid in the pun
ishment of the man or woman who
violates it. Bootlegging utilities the
will of the majority of our people, ex-
poses the young and comparatively in
nocent to strong temptation, and re-
acts powerfully upon those who advo-
cate the licensed saloon as the best
method of handling the liquor ques-
ton.
Whack the bootlegger-and whack
him hard.
