A TRIUMPH OF PEACE.

At this time, when facts and ap-
pearances so strongly convey the i'm
preston that the world is given over
to war, triumph of peace is proved
in the announcement of Secretary of
State Bryan that twenty-six treaties
have been signed, and eight others
approved, between the United States
and other countries, including the
great powers now at war in Europe,
providing that no hostilities shall be
declared between this nation and any
OF these countries before an interval
of year shall have elapsed, to in
quire into the matters in dispute, and
the 'latter shall have been inyestigat-
ed by aduly qualified commission.
Here is a splendid victory for the
peace principle gained under circum-
stances so intensely initiating

rs it necessary that this county
expend $4,000 or $4,000 in the erec-
ton of new Jail at Philippi?" is a
question that should be given con-
sideration by the taxpayers of the
county. If the present Jail can be
made sanitary to conform with the
state law, we see no reason why we
should be burdened with a large debt
for building that is Unnecessary. The
voters and taxpayers Of the county
should rise up and petition the court
to employ counsel and defend the &C
ton that is pending in the circuit
court. OF course if the mater is cut
and dried there is no use whatever to
plead with the controllers of the af-
fairs of the county.

THE OLD MILL,

Lonely in a spot uncanny,
Standing dark and grim and still,
Moss-grown wheel and rusty shafting
Is the old deserted mill
Only hising, foaming water,
Dashing, swirling in the race,
Or the hot of lonely owlet,
Breaks the silence round the place.
Years have passed since thrifty far
mer.
Ger its threshold ceased to come;
Since its wheels with ponderous motion
Turned with ceaseless, driving hum
Still forever are its grindings,
And the windows in its roof,
Like the eyes Of giant COLLINS,
Seem to stare as in reproof.
Of mans false and tickle nature
When in service worn away,
Left to Times eternal changes,
And the inroads Of decay.
But the miller sleeps forever,
Where the river skirts the hill,
And it's waters sing his requium,
Dancing idly past the mill.
In the mill in musty corners,
Hangs the spiders silken snare;
Clings the bat to blackened rafters
High above the broken stair.
In the night the simple rustic,
Hurries by with nervous thrill,
Peering backward DER his shoulder
For the ghost that hauns the mill.
