these poems as labor of love, and in so
doing has made very valuable contri-
button to Southern literature. We are
proud to add this book 10 our library,-it
ought to be in every Southern home.

ing at almost anything they can get and
will suffer heavy loss. The price offreSh
eggs has dropped to Is cents dozen IN
Shepherdstown. Butter is still Is cents
pound.

all through this section. The catalogue
this year is bigger and better than ever,
and contains much valuable information
for those who need anything in their
line. II can be had for the asking.
The opposition TO Senator Gray Silver'S
bill, which would permit orchardiSts to
destroy The cedar trees in West Virginia,
has been very great in this section, and
numerously signed petitions have been
sent TO the Legislature at Charleston pro-
testing against its passage. The bill
would be most serious infringement Of
private rights, and under its provisions
any mans land might be denuded Of its
most beautiful shrubbery-indeed, these
vandals could 60 into our cemeteries, even.
and hew down trees that might by some
stretch of imagination be regarded as in
imical to good apple crop. 1t is very
Objectionable measure in many respects,
and we hope that it will not pass.
