from hog cholera. Keep the hog
house and lot clean. This is inn
portant in preventing outbreaks.
If any of the hogs show signs Of
sickness notify the State live

stages of the disease can prob
ably prevent loss, but if delayed

Civil War Veteran Praises Minot.

civil War Veteran Praises MinOt.
Ny Dear Editor Colcord:
Minot has indeed grown from a
hamlet to thrifty town, and one bet
ter-a no uncertain city. She has al
ways thought to make Minot worthy
Of the town and community it repre-
sents.
She is not satisfied to sit back and
make herself believe that there can
be no more improvements made, yet
while she realizes that perfection has
not yet been reached and that it may
be impossible to reach that goal, new
ertheless Minot intends to come as
near the shining goal as possible. and
she has made her resolves to try.
Minot went into the war to aid in
making the world better place in
which to live and she has appropriat-
ed her share to the fruits of victory.
and she today remembered her SOL
diers gallantly, fttingly, by strewing
the graves of our fallen heroes with
beautiful flowers.
Those flowers will wither but the
memory of their righteous sacrifice
shall never wither. A poet has pa
thetically sung:
Oh, the lost; the unforgotten;
In our hearts they perish not.
May the sweet flowers with their
petaled lips and perfumed fragrant
breath perpetuate their remembrance
forever, even forevermore.

MUD AND DUST.

The muddier a road gets the more
dust will result when it dries up. The
sides Of the ruts are ground to dust.
The road bed that is kept well crown
ed, hard and smooth offers no place
for water to stand, SO it will not de-
velop bad ruts or much dust. The
road drag is one Of the best imple-
ments for keeping road bed smooth.

Mr.. MaMrkham will later send word
asking for u larger number Of repres.
entatives from here.
Some time ago F. J. Patton, secre.
tary Of the Northern West Virginia

protest against the proposed plan.
Should the prepayment scheme be ef.
fecttye 1t would mean that all opera.
tors in the Fairmotlt region who have
coal to be shipped to tidewater POINTS
will be obliged to prepay the freight.
AS all OF the cars are billed at Keyser

to the local operators because the
