LIMESTONE

We are having nice rains and the farmers who were croaking droth are now for telling a season so wet that crops will be ruined for want of work.
Blue Ribbon garden people have been putting out tomato and cabbage and planting melons.
The Sunday School at this place is progressing the officers, H B Carlton, Sup;.; Mrs J M Fisher and J E Davis, assistants, Mrs Purdy, Treas; Mr Hubet Malone, Sect; J C Kephart, assistant Sect; Mrs J M Fisher, Organist; Miss Ester Kephart, Librarian.

We note what Uncle John says in last week's Tribune about good roads and again we say, amen.
It seems rather presumptuous for the farmers to kick against the movement of auto owners to have a big circle of good road for their benefit. Money talks and the auto men are supposed to have the means, yet our farmers are going to vote down any bond issue if it comes to a vote.
Mr Editor, what about the Primary election law that both parties promised to the people? Who is at fault? The Repubs blame the blamed Demmys and the Demmys blame the blamed Repubs, truth told the professional politician and office seeker of both parties were opposed to nominations by primaries.
They can more easily control the delegates in a convention than the voter at the ballot box.
Had the Repubs wanted it they would have had is before the Demmys became so numerous in Senate and house.
Had the Demmys wanted it they could have worked for it lst month (I refer to the party bosses of each party.) This is just once more that the voter finds himself betrayed by the Shrewd professional politicians. Once more he sees broken pledges, promises unkept.
How long will the voter stand for such a breach of confidence?
Let the people arise to the occasion, let them put men in office who are not and never have been professional politicians.
Men who have not habitually been office seekers, men who have not and never did have a political boss, men who are untrained in political trickery, men who value honor above party success, and who hold a promise of more value than the wealth of any party millionaire, men who love their state and her people and they will score the check book and fountain pen that is said to be used by dishonest men for dishonest ends, and will and will be true their promises, keep their pledges, honor their constituency, and fear the God of the universe who has said, "Thou shalt not lie," "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Let each office be filled by men who would rather be right than be president.
Then will W Va stand for the a glorious state beckoning her sister states to follow in the path of truth, honor and true greatness.

MT STORM ITEMS

June 6, 1911
When we began laying tiling about 8 years ago, some people told us it would not drain or dry land. Some said it would do all right for a short while but would soon become filled up and cease to drain. Some said that after being water soaked for some time the tiling would become rotten and crumble. We have just been taking up a part of a 4 inch main in order to replace it with 6 inch. This tiling was laid six years ago on ground that was so nearly level that one could scarcely tell with the naked eye which was up or down, and so wet that it was almost worthless. The land was plowed the year after it was tiled and, after being cropped two years, was sowed to timothy and clover. The draining was complete, although the ground was so soft when the tiling was laid that it was necessary to bed it in places, we found every piece in perfect tact, just as it was when laid, and in perfect state of preservation, nor was there a bit of sediment in the tiling, except near the outlet, which had not been kept well open at times. We found no water at all but plenty of crab holes under the tiling. While making the excavation we became interest in the long clover roots, some of which we undertook to follow to the end. The longest one we found had penetrated the earth to the depth of 26 inches. Another was 24 inches long and plenty of them were 20 inches long. These were the common red clover.
Mr A V Parker was here last week in the interest of his farm.
Kitzmiller and Luzier are running their sawmill at full blast now on Jas Endler's place.
Miss Leona Shillingburg and Prof E L Haines were here last week on a pleasure trip. Some said they were hunting a clergyman. As the belong to brother Lodi's territory we will say no more except to suggest an investigation.
Rev E P Idleman preached in the ME Church here last Sun morning to a good congregation. He will begin a series of meetings at this place June 19th.
We are to have a District Sun School convention here June 22nd and 23rd.
Mr George Champ, who lives with his son-in-law Job Cosner, is very low with ailments, incident to old age. ? "Good Road" movement in Mineral County and seems to think he has floored us. Why, Sir, we have passed the talking stage long ago. Even some of the "Stand patters" have joined the muster corps and will soon be full fledged soldiers. Talk about a bonded appropriation of $88,000 on the roads of Mineral County. Why, Sir, we have been spending from 300 to 500 dollars per mile each year on some of our rods for several years, with an increasing demand each year, and we are paying as we go. We are not making debts for our children and our great-grandchildren today. We have an army of men at work whose payroll approaches, if indeed, it does not exceed, $100 per day. They formerly told us that when the roads were once put in good condition appropriations would be cut down, but that would be a step backward and we musts march forward, and so, with increased appropriations we are now beautifying our roads - and, shall we say, without a murmur from the tax-payers?
Farmers are receiving orders to clean up their fence rows along or near the road, and if they fail to do it, it is done by the army at the expense of the tax payers. Everything near the road that is unsightly must be covered up or removed and we should not be at all surprised if in the near future the fences along the road would be white-washed and rose bushes growing in the corners.
No, no, Uncle John, we are on the forward march and we never shall go away back and sit down.

June 13, 1911
We have had several good rains and vegetation has taken a new lease of life; the meadows now look as though they would, if the season continues good, make a fairly good yield of hay.
It is an old saying that a cold and wet spring is always bad for cut worms, which is true, but now we know that in a dry and hot spring they are much worse. On last Sun evening, Blaine and surrounding country was visited by one of the most terrific thunderstorms and downpour of rain that they have experienced in many years.

Last Fri, June 11, the writer passed another anniversary of his birth. This brings to mind an item of history which we have never seen recorded in any book of history. This day, June 11, 1911, is the 50th anniversary of the firing the first gun that was fired in the Civil War, east of the Alleghany Mountains. (The first battle of the war had been fought at Philippi, WV in May 1861). On the morning of June 11, 1861, Col Lew Wallace of Indiana, came up from Cumberland to New Creek, with his regiment of Zouaves - 1000 men strong and marched by way of Headsville to Romney, where Col Ed McDonald was trying to organize the 77th regiment, Va militia. The most of this regiment - the writer being one of them - hadn't gotten mad enough at that time to fight, the Col was having some trouble to "muster them in." He had, however, gotten some 400 of them together and was drilling them for the service. When the news reached Romney that the Yankees were coming, Col Mack marched his men out onto the bluff east of the river bridge, to receive them. When Col Wallace's advance immerged from the gap - being near opposite the Shull Mill - Col McDonald ordered his men to fire, which they did, their shot falling far short of the Yankee's lines. Col Wallace marched on to the bridge and into Gibson's bottom, below the pike where he drew his men into the line; they had scarcely formed, when Col Mack gave them another volley, this time going clear over them. Some of the boys, who were in the confederate rank, were our authority for the following: When the smoke of their fire had cleared so they could see across the river the beheld Wallace's whole regiment laying flat upon the ground, whereupon Col McDonald threw his hat in the air and shouted, "we have killed every d--d one of them." Just at that time, Col Wallace gave the order, "aim high and fire, " when the volley from their rifles brought down a shower of leaves and twigs form the timber over them, Col Mack yelled, "every man take care of himself," but the boys said none of them could keep up with the Col on their "advance" to the mountain. Col Wallace marched on into Romney, destroyed two printing presses, scattered the type in the street, took dinner and marched back to New Creek that evening. There were three or four "Southern Yankees" who had talked too loud, confined in the Hampshire County jail. Col Wallace opened the jail and liberated them. Among their number was an old man from Ridgeville. Now, this man if not as brave as Stonewall Jackson was fully equal to him on a march. This man, when liberated, struck a trot for Ridgeville; when he got to Mechanisburg gap, he saw two soldiers sitting under a shad by the roadside, one with his head bandaged and both quite bloody. (This man had fallen and cut his head on a rock that morning just below Wm Taylor's house, at the head of the Gap, and a comrade had been detailed to stay with and take care of him). When Old Ben saw those two bloody men he increased his speed to about a 2:40 trot, which he never broke until he got home. When he passed through Burlington, he called to some of the people there, without slacking his speed, that there was a great slaughter going on in Romney, and that the Gap was so blocked with dead and wounded that he could hardly get through. It is needless to say that he was never seen by a Confederate soldier from that date until the close of the war.

BE MERCIFUL

Merchants, Liverymen and others are hereby reminded to see to it that their horses are humanely handled and harnessed and not driven unnecessarily fast, especially during the hot weather. Many drivers have little or no mercy on the horse flesh. They do not seem to realize that these noble, valuable animals have feeling, but drive recklessly over rough roads, up hill and down. Think of it.
"A merciful man is merciful to his beasts."
Yours for humanity,
Mrs X Y Z

WILD MAN CAPTURED

Charles Lynch, of Hardy Co, who boasts of having been in the asylum seven times, was captured near the Wilson School House, up Limestone, by Messrs Don and F G Davis, last Mon afternoon and brought to Keyser. He had two 22 Cal. revolvers, one being loaded. With these he had terrorized the inhabitants of that community.
For several days he evaded the officers. He is being held for the grand jury on the charge of carrying concealed weapons.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO

Their unceasing work keeps us strong and healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on may diseases and symptoms - pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Harry Kercheval, 142 S Water St, Keyser W Va says: "My experience with Doan's Kidney Pills has been so satisfactory that I can highly recommend them. I had a backache and weak kidneys and seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I got a supply. They soon stopped the pain, and restored my kidneys to normal condition."
