A Pleasant Occasion

On Wednesday evening the large
audience room of the M. +. Church
was crowded to its fullest capacity
by spectators and friends and rela-
tiyes of the contracting parties, to
witness the wedding of Thos. Cole,
Esq, of Pittsburg, Pa, representing
the firm of Messrs. Elkins * Flack,
extensive oil refners, and Miss Bet
tie Davis, of this place. The cere-
mony was performed at Z o'clock by
by Rev. ]. w. Cornelius. OF course
the affair was a most enjoyable one,
and the many warm congratulations
received by the young voyagers only
feebly expressed the pleasure and
prosperity unbounded all wished
them. The couple went from the
church Immediately to the depot,
where they took the train for Pitts
burg. As the groom passed out the
church door he was handed a pack
age containing presents to himself
and bride from well-known firm of
this city. Bon voyage, young cou-
pie.

Explanatory.

4 couple of communications re-
Gently appeared in the Independent,
no doubt written in a peculiar vein,
which reflects unjustly upon an en-
inent and widely known physician
Of Hedgesville, and might have the
tendency to do him injury where he
is not known. The article referred
to escaped our supervision at the time.
Our personal relations and friendship
for the gentleman referred to are
such, that we could never knowingly
he induced to be become a party to
dissemination of any story, even
though jocularly told, which might
in the slightest degree inure to his
iniury or annoyance.

IN NEMORIAM.

DIED AT his residence near
Darkesville, Nov. LIST. 1915, ROBERT
STEWART, aged So years.
Mr.. Stewart had been afflicted for
several years past, but not so serious
ly as to require medical aid until
one week previous to his death. But
alas the unrelenting hand of disease
had taken strong hold upon him,
impaifing his voice and reducing his
strength, causing him to feel that the
great struggle of final dissolution was
approaching, and soon his eyes must
close in death. With a lustrous smile
impressed upon his lips, he sleeps the
last sleep sweetly. BY his death the
community has lost one of its most
worthy, respectable and useful citi-
zens. AS wise advisor and good
benefactor he will be generally miss
ed. His acts Of benevolence gained
him many friends, and he has never
turned deaf ear to the poor or to
those who necessarily required aid.
He was of accommodating DISPOSE
ton, witha strong and determined
mind and active mode of transacting
business. Only reaching an average
age, still his friends know he was
useful and mankind was blessed by
his living. In our late National
struggle he bore his part regardless
of fear or favor" and when the dark
clouds of smoke enveloped the heav-
ems, and the terrific sound of mus
kerry gave indication of an advanc-
ing army with devastation and dan
ger on all sides, he was found, as he
was ever found, ready to give as well
as to exact justice to himself, family
and friends, willing to share with
them in all trouble and battles at
home where his interests as well as
the interests of his country required
him. Forgetting the Past, improv-
ing the Present, time wore away and
every day prospects grew brighter,
and at the last hour no lamentation
or regret was heard. Calling his
family to his bed side, he gave them
a parting blessing and closed his eyes
in death.
Did time and space allow, our pen
would fam run on for columns in
praise of this plain, humble, but no.
bic and respected private citizen. In
his death his wife and children have
lost devoted and afTectionate hus-
and father, and the Orders of which
he was a member one Of their prom
inent pillars, and the community
good and useful citizen. We hereby
extend our most heartfelt sympathies
to the bereaved family, and invoke
upon them the blessings Of Him who
maketh .sall things work together
for good to those who have faithful
ly walked In the path Of rectitude,
ard they shall forever dwell in the
celestial city on high" 5.
