UrNTiNiTos.?We made a (lying
tiip to Huntington lust Sunday ev
ening, returning Monday night.?
While in the city we visited Hro.
Dennett, of the Ade'erliter, io whom
wo imparted a feiv lessons on ''What
we know about publishing n county
newspaper." We are glad to say
that Hro. Bennett is making a good
paper, and that his paper is coming
up to his expectations, financially.
Called 6n Hro. Gibson of the Com
wrivial, and found the whole concern
cheerful and happy, because of the
renewed assurance that Bro. Ciibson
would be retained as Postmaster, not
w ithstanding tho strong influence at
work to remove him. But few edi
tors have a 81500 post-office to help
them along.
Spent a good ileal of our time at
llarmison it Co's., whom we found
shoving off lots of gooils, anil gel
ting the cash. To Messrs. Andy]
.lack and 1!. ('. McCiiUoUgh, of this
firm, we return thanks for the many
special favors shown us. To Mr.
Me. especially, for those transparent
visiting cards.
Had a "big talk" with Judge ('.
W. Smith, at his office, lie is lis
Uadieal as ever, and never loses an
opportunity to dig a Democrat in
the ribs, lie feels confident that
Huntington is going to be a large
city, in the not vei v far future.
Had a chat with Speaker Eustis
(iibson, but "nary" a word did he
utter about that "extra session" of
tho Legislature, frouMvhich we con
eluded that the project had "busted."'
Called on our old friend, Kov. J.
Wesley Webb, but found that he was
absent, iu the mountains of Logan,
tilling his appointments, so we did
not have the pleasure of a ehat with
him.
Went to see Mr. Robert Wilson at
Ids Mill; found him nearly recovered
from the effects of his late accident,
lie informed us that he was doing
very well with his Mill.
Ilailroad officials iuformed us that
tl.eC. it. <>. R. II. is hardly ablo to
carry the freight that is now offered
it from the West, and that the Com
pany needed at least 1,(XX)additional
freight cars to ./^commodate the
freight now lying at Huntington to
!><? shipped to tide-water.
Huntington is improving some,
at this tune. The prospect in the
spring for many buildings to bo er
<vted is vorv Mattering indeed. Near
ly every man you meet wears a
much more cheerful face than ho did
?a year ago.

A Gentle Hint.?In our style of
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature,?rain, wind and nun
shine often intermingled in asingle
day,?it is no wonder that our chil
dren, friends and relatives ure so
frequently taken from us by neglecl
ed colds, half tho deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Boschcc's German Syrup kept about
your home for iuimodiato use will
prevent serious sickness, a large doc
tor's bill, and perhaps death, by the
uso of three or four doses* For cur
ing Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croupor
any disease of the Throat or Lungs,
its success is simply wonderful, as
your druggist will tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in every town and

The organization of the Literary
Society was postponed for another
week 011 the account that every
night of this week was taken up by
proaching or Society meetings.
The Rev. Mr. Crossfield preached
in tho M. E. Church 011 Sunday
evening. Subject "Noah's Flood."
The Rev. gentleman advanced some
strange arguments to prove that
such an event did occur. Wo thought
it might be quite as advantageous to
the cause, however, if clergymen
would say as little as possible upon
tlieso muted and unsettled questions
of the Bible. For it does seem that
the more they try to prove them, the
denser the clouds become, and the
uncertainty still increases.
Eggs'are very scarce in our mar

oSO pounds. How is that for "high?"
Rev. J. II. Cupp, of New Ilaven,
began a scries of meetings at the
Presbyterian church on last Thurs
day, and closed yesterday with only
two accessions to the church. The
revival meeting at Union church,
that was mentioned in my last letter,
closed on Thursday evening, last.
It had been protracted for nearly
four weeks. There were eleven ac
cessions to the church. During this
meeting, Rev. Wm. Weekly, did a
great deal of pastoral work. And I
do think that all christian ministers
ought to condescend to visit the laity
once in a while, and talk and pray
witli them.
Our school is full to overflowing.
About twenty who do not reside in
this sub-district, urc in attcndanco.
This state of affairs is causing some
trouble. Our Boards of Education
ought to sec that enough of suitable
school houses ure provided for all, so
that the just rights of no school will
be imposed upon, by children coming
from othor Districts. Let tho trus
tees bo active and decido in behalf
of our own interests.
Those now steps at tho door of our
school-house, were not put tlierc be*

If you travel the road leading from
