Dixie.



Obi Dixie's homes are bonnie,
And Dixie's homes are true;
Twas down in dear old Dixie,
Our life'sfirst breath we drew
Our life's first breath We drew
And there our last we'll sigh.
And for dear old Dixie,
Will lay US down and die.
No fairer land than Dizie,s
Has ever seen the light:
No drawer boys than Dt1ie's.
To stand for Dixie's night :
To stand for Dixie's right
With hearts so true and high.
And for Dixie, dear old. Dixie.
To lay them DC wn and die.
oh! Dixie's Wales are syInny.
And Dixie's hills are blue:
And Dixie's heav'ns are bonnie,
And Dixie's daughters too
And Dixie's daughters too
As stars in D!xie's sky.
For Dixie, dear old Dixie.
We'd lay us down and die.
No more upon the M .untain,
No longer by the shure-
The trumpet-soDg of Dixie
Shall shake the world no moe;
For Dixie's songs are over,
Her glory gone on high,
The brave who bl.d for Dixie
Have liid them downsto die.

Charles Town Election.

In the Charles Town corporation
election held last Thursday the advo-
Gates of saloon license won in all
three wards by narrow margins, elect
ing councilman in each ward, and
a mayor. The use of the Australian
ballot system in a modified form
proved satisfactory in preventing in
timdation and disorder. There was
no serious disorder, though disputes
over challenged votes were spirited
at times. In detail the result was as
follows: For Mayor-First Ward, John
). yesterday 90, Clarence D. Eby 81:
Counciimen, c. F. Conrad "a, Claw
ton L. Haines 81; For Mayor-Second
Ward, John S. yesterday s., Clarence
ID. Ely 81; Councilmen, R. d. Shua-
ert SO, c. E. AIiley 81; Fer Mayon.
Third Ward, John S. yesterday "a,
Clarence D. Ely 70; Councilmen.
DR.. c. L. Skinner 90, H. c. Page 80
The new councilmen will enter up
up then offlclal duties in June. In
sentiment on the license question, the
ceuncilmen elected on Thursday are
sad to favor high license with the
number of saloons Limited to four O,
live. Whether licenses will be grant
ed TOR the next license year, begin
ming July l, depends upon the action
OF the County Court, which consists of
the same membership it had last year
when license was refused. The Probi-
bition Amendment will be voted upon in
November, and whether the liquor bust
ness will be carried on or discontinued
indefinitely in West Virginia will depend
upon the result of that cleo ion.

BEAVERS BUILD a DAM


According to reports from the yicin-
sity of Itasca state park the beavers
are gradually working out of the park
and extending their field
of operations in every direction where
there are streams. A Park Rapids
gentleman who owned a fine farm
near the park took a prospective buy
er# out to sell the farm. On the way
out.sthe owner spoke enthusiastic ically
of a 20-acre meadow on the farm.
When he reached the farm and found
the meadow under two. feet, of water.
his surprise may be imagined. The
beavers had built dam and the wa
ter had backed up and flooded the
meadow. Their dam was blown out
five consecutive times With t1ymanits
before the little workers left. Fergus
