w. S Roose, who spent much time
here last Summer in the life insur-
ance business, seems TO be equally
as popular other places as here. In
the Winfield Democrat OF last week
we find the following: Mr. w. l..
Roose, Of Pittsburgh, agent of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company, has been in town several
days. He came TO adjust and pay
the claim of the late Judge Hoge,
whose policy netted his family
$4,000. Mr.. Roose secured several
applications for insurance among our
citizens while here. He is very
successful agent and withal a pleas
ant gentleman-qualities rarely ever
found in combination.
Mr.. j. A. Peters, Of Butler county,
Pa, has been in town for several
!, days past the guest Of Col. A. 5.
Vance. The two gentlemen are cous-
ms, and both natives Of Frederick
county Virginia. Mr.. Peters was a
b resident of Morgantown from 1885 to
1871. working with Mr.. Vance at the
hatter's trade In the latter year
MIR. Peters removed to Butler county,
Pa, where lie married and reared a
family. Being an industrious care
full business man, has amassed com
potency and can now spend the eve
ming Of life in rest and comfort. He
finds but few of the young men who
were his associates in ''ye olden time"
still here. Among them he named
to us Geo. NJ Reay, George Kiger,
Sanford Pickenpaugh, VIM. NJ. Evans,
DR.. Jos. A. McLane and blackwell
Morgan. He acted as groomsman at
Mr. Reay's wedding. He also says
the features of the town have very
much changed. While the town is
not much if any larger, it has alto
gether changed in appearance. We
found Mr. Peters n very pleasant
gentleman. He will leave the last of
this week for his home in Pennsyl-
