HAVE YOU SIGNED THE PETIT
TION7

AT every precinct in the county
petitions have been placed, and the
voters approving the enabling act re-
quested to sign the call for an cleo
ton to be held early inSeptember to
decide whether or not the state shall
continue to license the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor within her bounds. The
Governor cannot order an election
except upon request of at least %
per cent. of the voters of thestate.
There is evidence to show an al
arming indifference in the county on
this matter. There are not large lists
of petitioners in the county, and at
tention is called to this in the hone
of arousing the activity of the friends
of the cause all nyc.' the county. If
this cause fails of carrying at the
September election it's failure will be
due to the willful or Indifferent neg
lect of the church people of the
county. West Virginia's 1900 saloons
closed out this week. Pocahontas is
flooded with liquor, and should this
cause fail, not only Pocahontas but
the entire state of Virginia will be
known as chief liquor headquarters
of the South. However this may be,
sign this petition, and let the voters
OF the state say whether ornot they
desire to continue the liquor traffic.
The question should be settled and
will be, in September. Sign up, and
whoop with the crowd!

Pastures are Burnt Tn.

j. G. Buston, the dairyman, has
been "hit harder" perhaps by the
drought, than anybody. He has about
10 cows, and his bluegrass pastures
are as bare as can be, and have been
so for sometime. He turned his cows
on 80 acres of oats this week, as the
oats were not likely togethigh enough
to cut. What helped him to bridge
over was small field of alfalfa
which he cut and fed to his cows
Alfalfa is the dairyman's hope. Wher
ever there is alfalfa growing it will
be found to be green and growing
when all other grass is dead, and by
the time it is cut overonce it is ready
to be cut over again. Alfalfa, when
once we'll set seems to defy the wea-
Their. 1t beats all other clover more
than two to one. Better try it.
