—Up in Veoango Co, a little case war.
disposed of by a jury, which put two thirds
of the costs on the prosecutor, and one
third on the defendant. Tbe case started a
year or so ago when one man sued another
for a seven dollar balance on a book ac
count, and this was followed by a prosecu
tion for perjury. The Franklin .Vctcx says
this case illustrated in a grotesque degree
the folly of vindictive litigation, and is a
striking exhibit of tbo cumulative nature
of law costs. Starting on a claim for $7, it
has swelled into a matter of S6OO, wnich the
parties must pay. And yet, with all this
outlay, the difference betweon them is not
settled. They are not happv, nor are they
likely to be. On a quarrel over a matter of
$7, they brought to the county seat sixty
witnesses and kept them here for nine days.
And t heu, Instead of getting satisfaction,
the principals get socked with a bill of S6OO
costs, and tetura homo to skirmish for the
wherewithal, instead of celebrating the
victory over the opposition.

Twenty Thousand Acres of
Wheat.
Few people realize the enormous
growth of the baking industrv wiihiu
the last few years It isn't very long
ago that it was comparatively an
iutarit. Now the immense establish
ment of S, S. Marvin & Co., Pitts
hurg Pa., uses every year the pro
duct of 20 000 acres of wheat, almost
as much a* is grown in the whole of
Pennsylvania Twenty-five years
ago a factorv that used the product
ot 200 acres in a vear would have
been a big one. Of eourse there is a
reason for ibe rapid growth of the
Mrwvin factory. It is all on account
of the quality of the crackers, cakes
and bread made there. People have
come to look upon Marvin's goods as
the best made aud everybody wants
them. Ask your grocer for Marvin's
cakes and crackers uud bread, and
don't buy auy other.

A Novel for Girls
j- [lt is said that Mr. HowelU. who is per
: cap* the foremost ot living American nov
j elists. has long had in his mind a story of
American girl lite, which he believes will
s ;be the best piece of work he has ever done
! The great novelist has now peen induced
t ;to write oat the story, and at. present he
| is at work upon it. It is a novel unlike any
p which Mr. llowells has ever written. It
deals entirely with the struggles of a West
t ern girl who goes to New York, and the
r story will have about it all the flavor which
attaches to a tale of city life with a younic
' girl us the central heroine. Heretofore all
# of Mr. Howell*' novels have gun to the
i Harpers, but this special girl.-.' novel will
be printed during lt>9.! in The Ladies' Home
Journal, ol Philadelphia the publishers of
which have bought the exclusive rights to
1 the story from Mr Howells. The novel is
r to be beautifully illustrated, and r. How
, ells himself believes that it will be as at
tractive a story as any with wuicli his name
1 has been connected.
