The vegetable crop this year was quite a large one, not only in Nome but in the Hot Springs sec tion where the plants seemed to do very well notwithstanding the late season.

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today is very practical as compared with the senti- mental exhortations of yesterday" ," pertinently remarks an exchange Tn these days. when efficiency is so gen. eral a watchword in the world of busi- ness and labor, we are finding not so directly that a man Is knave who drinks to excess, or even as all as that he is a fool. A runner who ties a weight about his leg is no greater dunce than the workingman or the merchant who puts a dram of liquor into his digestion or his brain It is capable of proof by figures and dia. grams that the drinker of even an occasional glass of wine or beer or whisky injures the work of both his hands and his mind, while the habit ual drinker sews up his mental and manual machinery permanently This Is the gospel of the new temperance movement"

In certain sections of West Virginia there is no liking for automobilists, as was evidenced in the case of a Washingtonian who was motoring in a sparsely settled region of the state.
 This gentleman was hauled before a local magistrate upon the complaint of a constable. The magistrate, a good-natured man, was not, however, absolutely certain that the Washing tonian's car had been driven too fast, and the owner stoutiy insisted that he had been progressing at the rate of only six miles an hour.
 Why, youh honor," he said, my engine was out of order, and was going very slowly because l was afraid it would break down complete ly. give you my word, sir, you could have walked as fast as I was running.
 "Well,' said the magistrate. after due reflection, you don't appear to have been exceeding the speed limit but at the same time you must have been guilty of something, or you wouldn't be here. fine you ten dol lars for lettering"
