The WEBBING REGIS. gR was founded In
1863, at the time OF the Inauguration Of the
State Of West Virginia. AS a part snd par
eel OF the new State eIusely identified with
It's enterprises and contributing in modes,
measure to its advancement, the Register"
shares in the Just exultation with whIch our
people regard Its bright career. The popu-
lation Of tie State has increased In greater
ratio than most Of the old States, her schoo Is
have multiplied and improved In efficiency,
her government has been we'll and econom-
ically administeted, her resources are b,ins
developed with energy, and her people are
growing In enlightenment and thrift. With
the growth Of the State the "Registsr" has
grown, with its development the "Register"
hiss developed; with Its prosperity the Reg.
lister" has prospered. And As showing the
estimation in which the paper ID held by the
citizens Of the State for whose interests 1t
has steadfastly battled,we can say With truth
tha. NO other paper is read by as many West
VirginIans, nor does any other penetrate every
part Of the State as 1t does,

.oUT WEST"
Where Is that Mythical RcgiOn?-.
FILLING in the National Domain.

The story is told of an English visi-
tor to this country who went to Niagara
Falls from New York. Accu-tumed only
60 English distance he regarded the trip
% . great jonney, and wheu asked II he
were going West replied that he thought
he was already there. Another equally
exactlng journey took him 10 Chicago,
which he was amazed 20 find on Eastern
! city. At St. Paul, With It's beautiful
buildings, i!s broad streets laced by
horse cars and lighted by electricity, Its
busting and driving population, he still
found himself at the East. At Denver
he found a magnificent city where o
dozen years ago buffaloes and bears and
foxes we're hunted and killed by Indi-
ans, bui was laughed at when he inquired
where .Oul West" was And not until
he stood in San Francisco, city more
truly Eastern in every respect than
many he had seen, did he learn, as the
answering fiager was pointrl over the
great ocean, that "Out West" is a myth
spun from the Imagination.
"0u, West" represents new and unl
settled country. the unbroken wilder
ness. the region beyond civilization. In
1915 and 'l6 the two coolest years
known 10 this country, thousands of
New Eoglsnders unrooted themselves
and, packing their possessions on grea,
wagons, started for Out West" Hun
dreds of them found It on the beautiful
/. lakes in central and western New IOrG
and in the western counties OF Pennsyl-
vania. The wave spent itself In Ohio,
giving the northern and central part OF
that territory su impetus before un-
known. A few more daring spirits than
the rect settled in Michigan and founded
! village in 8 swamp. on the southwes
tern corner OF the lake, which became
Chicago. Washington found Out West
at Pittsburg Jackson found it in Ten
nessee; and while Jefferson was Presi-
dent, Lewis and Clark set the country
almost wild by their account of jour
ney frnm the Mississippi through Ore
eon to the Pacific ocean. Their story
Was regarded as incredible by thousands,
and il took years 10 lift their hook out
OF the category of fiction. Nothing
better illustrates the growth OF the coun-
Try than the Total disappearance OF such
aregion as Is indicated by the words
"Oui Wes,." There are yasts tracts OF
country not cleared nor surveyed; but
they have been surrounded hv civiliza-
ton and have already Fixed the greedy
eyes of settlers or capitalists. The Ne
brsska woman wss TOO incensed to eat

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
Its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make Il beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class ears ON fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to. the
west. northwest and southwest, making
but single change of ears to Iowa,
I.,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
ssc. No other line can offer such advan-
tspes as the Baltimore and Ohio.--1is
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as we'll as
money. Above all things do not pur-
ehs.e tickets before having talk or re-

The Brookhaven ledger. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1882-09-14

The sad intelligence of fatal rem.
counter between Mr.. John T. L.
Holmes, and his nephew John C.
Holmes which occurred at Watson's
store, st. Helena Parish, La, on
the 2Sth ult, has just reached us
and has caused general regret among
large number of highly respecta-
bic relatives and friends hereabout.
The particulars of the tragic affair
as related to US as follows: The
parties removed from this county
some two years since and settled
near each other in st. Helena, Par
ish, La. They met at Watson's
store, on the 2Sth, and engaged in a
difficulty in which the uncle was
badly worsted. Shortly after the
uncle, renewed the fight, struck
young Holmes twice with a gun
barrel on each side of the head,
fracturing his skull in both instan-
ces, and retreated to the rear of the
store, closely pursued by the nephew
who drew q revolver and shot his
antagonist through the breast from
tue effects Of which death . imme-
diately ensued. The younger man
is said to be in most critical con-
dition, and it is thought cannot pos

campmeetlng Marriages,

The campmeeting near Chester
was one of some romance. One
young man stole his girl and carri-
ed her to the campground, and were
married. Another stole his on the
ground, and they were married in
Chester. The first couple made an
effort to get to Oktibbeha county
to obtain license. Taking it after
the most primitive manner of tray
cling they got as far as Whitefield.
Asking how far it was to the court
house, and being told it was seven
teen miles, they concluded to return
to old Choctaw. 1t ~ Isl said they
met some man who told them he
was the chap to fix up the whole
matter, license and all. The gallant
young fellow paid the stranger
$500 and went ON his way rejoicing,
believing himself lawfully married
But learning better ct the camp
ground, lie made the amendc honor
able. The polite clerk, j. d. Full
cher, and the accommodating cler-
gyman, W. r. Rainey put the final
touch to this romantic adventure
