NO EXTRA SESSION WANTED.

The Cumberland News says: If Presi-
dent Wilson is determined to drive
another nail in the Democratic coffin,
he will force an extra session of Con-
gress rather than abandon his ship
purchase bill. Not every prospect
ahead of the country is bright, but no
darker cloud could loom on the horizon
just now than the thought of having
Congress in session beyond March A.
No Congress ever sat at Washington
that cost the country so much as the
present one. 1t was estimated at the
time the second Cleveland term cost as
much as the four years of Civil war.
The past two years of Democratic con-
troll have already equaled that vast sum,
and plunged the national government
into a deficit approximating 500, OOO,-
600 for the current twelve months.
The less the country sees and hears
of craftsmanship of that prosperity
wrecking kind the better 1t will be
pleased. 1t is not encouraging news.
therefore, that Mr.. Wilson proposes
to urge his shipping bill to the point of
forcing an extra session.

GATHERING SAEAVES.

The following lines of 4 hymn, COM
posed at Mountain Lake Park July, 9,
1883. by Miss Fannie J. Crosby, whose
death occurred last Friday at the ad-
vanced age of ninty-fve years, was
dedicated TO the late DIR. David
Updegraff, published in the Philadelphia
Christian Standard Immediately follow
ing the closing Of the camp meeting at
the Park in 1898. This HYMN is SAID to
be one Of the master pieces of the COM
poser and is used more extensively in
camp meeting and other services than
any other OF like nature:
Gathering sheaves with tireless hand,
Gathering sheavcs at thy Lords COM
mand,
Looking to Him for the power divine,
o, what a glorious work is thine!
Gathering sheaves in the morn's bright
ray,
Beraing thy toll in the heat of day,
Lifting full many broken vine,
o, what labor of love is thine!
Love, is thy watchword, and still shall be.
Love, on thy banner, inscribed | see,
Love is the keynote of every song,
How like a river it flows along!
Brother, the words from thy lips that
fall,
Tenderly echo thy Savior's call.
Thou art inspired by voice divine,
0, what labor for souls is thinel
Yonder thy home d.thy mansion fair,
Yonder the crown thou! shalt win and
wear,
Beautiful stars in.that crown will shine,
o, what meeting will soon be thinel
Meeting with friends who have gone
before,
Waiting for thee on the Eden shore,
Meeting where trials and storms shall
cease,
Meeting with Jesus the Prince of Peace.

A DOG CASE FROM DISTRICT NO. 6
Nearly Every Prominent Resident of
That Section Attended Tuesday.

Before Justice Rudisill on Tuesday tie
case of the State VS.. Mr.. Ode Dewitt,
OF near Hoves. was aired. Mr.. Dewitt
was arrested upon a warrant sworn out
by Constable Coddington charging him
with an assault, the implement used be-
ing double bit axe and grew out of the
attempt of the official to collect taxes
upon a dog owned by Mr. Dewitt.
At the trial it was clearly in evidence
that no assault had been made by Mr..
Dewitt; that he paid the amount de-
manded by the constable and that while
the latter was writing the receipt for
the money Mr.. Dewitt continued to
work in cutting up log to be used in
firing lime kiln. The decision of the
Justice was favorable to Mr.. Dewitt
and the case was dismissed.
The matter was of such intense in
terest to the people of the Hoyes and
Accident sections of the county that
they came to Oakland in body, their
presence here being for the purpose of
giving Mr.. Dewitt their moral support,
whose standing in the community has
never been questioned and who is held
in the highest esteem by all who know
him. Among those here we're Messrs.

Think IL Oyer.

The weekly newspaper promotes the
interests of the town in which it is
published to such an extent that it be-
comes impossible to place All estimate
upon its worth. There is no enterprise
that does so much for the corporation
or the individual citizen as the paper.
1t stands opposed to the town knocker,
the town kicker, the town fanatic and
the town drones. 1t stands for &C
ton as against dry rot. 1t stands for
progress as against stagnation. 1t is
ever ready to combat the schemes OF
Missionaries and as ready to aid the COM
structive plans of the wise and level
headed citizens. 1t is for the upbuild-
ing of the community. The paper has
not yet come into its own, however,
because it is never appreciated to the
extent of its worth by the people at
large. Yet when battles are to be
fought for town or county a rush is
made to the newspaper Office always to
find the loyal editor ready, frequently
without hope of reward. Many other
enterprises are encouraged by bonus,
but rarely is the newspaper offered any
such help and still more often not given
the support it is entitled to. Com
munities frequently lose sight OF their
real benefactor when they fail to
recognize the weekly journal as such.
The editor and his paper stand as the
bulwarks of defense against the at
tacks of evil or designing schemes af-
fecting the good of the individual or
the town. For these and other reasons
the newspapers of the town and county
should receive the support of the
public at large in very liberal de-
