DOES PUBLIC WANT TRUTH?
Indiana Editor Decided TO Quit Lying
The Result.


The following, entitled "rcllinp tho
TRUTH" is taken from the Sugarcrecl
Weekly Budget, an Ohio publication
1t is not pleasant and profitable al
ways to tell the truth in the columns
of IL newspaper. Men who have tried
tins heretofore always have come To
grief. Only Il few days ago the
editor OF Il paper in Indiana grew tir-
ed of being called liar, and an
nounced he would tell the truth i'm
the future. The next issue of the
paper contained the following items:
John Bonin, the LATEST merchant
IN town, made II trip to Bcllcvillc
yesterday.
"John Coylc, our grocer man. is
DONG II poor business. Ills store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?
"The Rev. Styx preached last Sum
day night on Charity The sermon
was punk.
Dave Sonkcy died at his home in
this place. The doctor gave it out as
heart failure. Whiskcy killed him.
"Marricd-Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
james Colin, last Saturday, at the
baptist parsonage. The bride is a
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than "a
rabbit, and never helped her moth
er three days in her life. She is not a
beauty by any means. and has Il gait
likc IL duck. The groom is an up-to-
date loafer. He has been living off
the Old folks ut home all his life, and
IS not worth shucks. IL will be n hard
life.
The governor of our great State,
Il very ordinary man, and who was
elected by accident, was here ycstcr
day. lie has very few friends here
now. lie promised some of the vot-
erS OF his precinct piece of pie in
event OF his election, but had for.
gotten all about it when the time TO
hand over the little Office rolled
around"
Which reminds us of the Illinois
editor who became tired of welding
the whltcwash in the matter of obit-
uaries, decided to reform and tell the
truth just once. He commented as
follows upon the death of citizen:
"Died-John Brown, aged fifty six
years, six months and thirteen days.
Deceased was Il mild hammered pirate
with n mouth for whiskcy. He came
here in the night with another mans
wife and joined the church the first
chance. He owes us several dollars
for the paper, a large meat mill, and
you could hear him pray six blocks.
lie died singing, Jesus Paid 1t An
and we think he is right; he never
paid anything himself. He was buried
IN an asbestos casket, and his many
friends threw palm leaf fans in his
grave, as he may need them. His
tombstone will be a favorite resting
place for ho0towls."

THE CROPS IN THE EAST.

Viewed from the car windows and
private conveyanccs along the coun-
ty roads, the crops make fine show
ing. There was lack of rain during
May, but the recent rains have
brought out the crops wonderfully.
East of the Blue Ridge the crops are
ahead in growth and size of plants.
Wheat is good-much of it ready to
harvest. Many fine patches and some
large fields of alfalfa are seen from
Roanoke county to Richmond, and
around Richmond. One cutting has
been made already and the second
crop will be cut towards the last of
the month. The finest meadows seen
was one on Hollins' College farm.
There was about equal quantities of
alfalfa, red clover and timothy, and
the growth was very heavy. The
growing of alfalfa is becoming more
general each year. 1t is estimated that
there are now something near 5000
acres in the State. August and Sep
tember are the best months in which
to sow. Every farmer should grow
an acre or two Of this "queen of the
cloverS"

LIKES MARYLAND HOME.
Simon Keely and Family Are Well
Situated in New Home.

Dear Sir: enclose subscription.
We are very well satisfied in our
Maryland home. We live in an up
to-date neighborhood and have fine
lot of people for ncighbors. Most of
them live in splendid homes and their
sons and daughters are well educat-
ed and refined. We have n county
club in sight of our home, where the
older members of the families meet
every week or two and have their sup
plies, such as machinery, fertilizer.
grass seeds, etc, ordered at wholesale
prices, and the young people meet
there almost every week for some So
cial function.
1 have forty acres in wheat this
year and thirty-three acres in corn
both of which are looking well. A
yield of forty bushels of wheat to the
acre is not uncommon in this com
lmunity, and good many farmers
here produce over seventy-five bush
els of corn to the acre.
With kind regards for YOU, Mr..
Editor, and for my many friends in
|TaZewell, | remain,
Yours very turly,
SIMON KELLY.

During the winter of 1861, We were
IN camp ut Manassas junction. My
bcdfcllow was Jim Winston, and n
splendid specimen he waS-a lawyer
and u University man. lie told me
that he would be killed, and that he
would be shot through the head. In
lS62, at Chantilly, almost in sight of
Washington city, he was shot through
the head and killed. Kit Wnlthnll was
one of NV mess. He also told me thai
he would he shot through the head
and killed. In the Shenandoah Valley
III 1861, he was killed in battle, the
ball passing through his head. About
the first of May, 1861, we were in
Orange county, on the Rapidan river.

said that if he did not absolutely
know that he would not he killed,

wounded in the leg. Then told him
that ! had as much as could stand.
an d he had better leave All this he
told to the whole company.
On the fifth day of May, 1861, the
fighting began. Every morning the
boys would say, "Schacht, is this the
day you are going to be wounded in
the leeg?" lie answered, "No, this is
not the day" This passed under nv
eye until the 18th Of May. On that
day | was shot down and carried
away. The boys told me this went
on until the 18th Of May. On that
morning they again asked, "Schacht.
IS Tins the day you are going to be
shot lie said, Eyes, this is the
day" They were then near the road
that leads from Fredericksburg to
Spottsylvania &. III. That morning n
Sklrmish line was thrown out. but

Schacht was shot through the leg.
Again, late in the summer. he was
shot through the leg. After the war
he lived iii Louisa county.
