LUCKLESS LOVELESS.
A Pop Vender Sells Whiskey and Gets a Hard Dose of Law.
Charles Loveless came from the Clark's Hill neighborhood to be commander in chief of a pop stand at the Cravvforasville fair. Mr. Loveless very unjudiciously brought along with hiin a few half pint bottles of the native corn juice and began to peddle it out on the sly. Wednesday afternoon the young man approached fair ground policeman Charles White and asked if he had a hankering for something stronger than insipid pop. He was not aware of the official identity of Mr. White or he would probably have been more cautious. Mr. White promptly bought half a pint and then took Loveless into custody, landing him in jail. Thursday the luckless individual pleaded guilty before Mayor Bandel and was fined §25 and costs and given thirty days in jail. He was made a warning for all others with a penchant to sell liquor on the fair ground.

William Davis is feeding wheat to his hogs. He is feeding sixteen head and they eat from a bushel to a bushel and a half a day. What is fed at night is put to soak that morning in enough water to cover it all -up. Then it will swell up and be soft so the hogs can eat it better and will be easier digested. We never had hogs to do better.
Mr. Swamp College says I called him a dandy. If lie will look again he will find he is mistaken about the dandy part, but if I did I have nothing to take back. Of course I know what Webster calls a dandy. What I did say was that many of us went to town on business and I don't deem it of much news and I think the editor will bear me out in what I say.
Lambert Smith says he has lost some sheep. As sheep are in good demand he hates to lose them. He paid a fancy price for them about two years ago. We are inclined to think that he found them the other day but they were so ugly he would not claim them. He said he did not think they could walk home. Lambert, you had better take the wagon and go after them and if they should die you could pull wool and hollow for Vory this fall.

Dayton, of Barbour county, in opposition to Chairman William L. Wilson, of the ways and means committee. Ex-President Harrison is visiting ex-Secretary Elkins. The ex-president said: "This district will be before all eyes this autumn. The contest is not local. It happons that your present representative bus been assigned to prepare the tariil bill and has attached his name to it. It Is therefore expected tliat his conduct will be subjected to severe and careful scrutiny. Fortunately tiie proclamation has been made by President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson that the tarlfl bill is not a finality but distinctive warfare is to go on. If you approve this show it by returning Mr. AVilson to congress: but if, on the other hand, you have felt the ellects of the depression, if you think more of those who prefer to lend the country out of the slough of despondency, show it by deieating him. "1 cannot say much of the last administra tion delicacy forbids mo to say much of this, but if you consider the heads of departments and subordinate ofllcer.- you will see that there was an attempt to act for the best interests of all the peopl. 1 cannot say how lar we suecec'ed. but only that we did the brst we could do. if the people at the elections this fall condemn the recent action on the tariff we shall have an end of tariil tinkerings. ••When tho tide of emigration started from the seaboard it turned to Ohio and the interior valleys but it is now toward West \rlrginla. Now the tide of commerce
Is coursing through your fertile valleyt The pick and shovel are busy. Is this a time' through the cheap ocean rates, to bring Into competition with your products tha cheap coal of Nova Scotia? 1 speak as a patriotic American who feels an interest in the honest people. To your judgment by the quiet November firesides this question must be settled, and may you have the courage to do your duty. I thank you for your attention and hops that you will immediately nominato the best man."
