esteemed citizen Of our town. He
departed this life, after long and
lingering illness, on last Thursday

located on the now vacant lot, i'm.
mediately west of $. j. King a

A Nice Little Home Story.


The following anecdote, we think, de-
serves mention in Anecdotes OF the
Bench and Bar: r VIZ
1t is proverbially known that Judge j.
j. jackson, of the Federal Court of the
West Virginia District, does not harbor
the most tender regard for the feelings Of
J. j. Davis, of the Clarksbarg bar, hence
ensued the following recently at Ciarks-
burg. 1t appears that in the mail robbery
case, in which there were near $50 wit
nesscs, Davis was for the defense, and
some questions were boisterOusly discuss
ed before the court, whereupoh Jackson,
in his dictatorIal way, commanded silence,
and in the matter under discussion over
ruled Davis, whereupon Davis remarked
with great vehemence, Glow can a man
succeed When he has TO contend with the
world (pointing TO the greet array Of wit
nesscs); the flesh tpointing to the eorpu-
lent Flick, and the devil" (pointing TO
the court).- Weston Repr5lican.
