Quite gloom was cast over our
town week before last by the sudden
and unexpected death of Miss Emma
Fream. She had been sick for about
three weeks, confined part of the
time to her bed The evening be-
fore she died she was quite lively.
Late in the evening, on Friday, she
was taken worse, and her friends
were Immediately summoned to her
bedside. DIR. Dent was dispatched
for and came Immediately, but could
do nothing to relieve her. She lay
in spasms for eight hours, when
death relieved her suffering. Miss
Emma was noble Christian, hav-
ing made a profession of religion
when quite young and united with
the Baptist church. We heard her
pastor say that she not only pro-
fessed religion, but that she "lived
religion in her daily life" The
church has lost one of it brightest
ornaments. She leaves father,
mother, two sisters and three broth
ers and many other relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. Services
were held at the house by Rev. E.
M. Sapp at 10 o'clock, on Monday.
after which the remains were taken
to Newburg and inferred in the Gem
etery.
Mr.. J. E. Stuck died at his home
in Newburg, last Saturday morning
at 9 o'clock. He was conscious and
talked until Z o'clock. The last
words he was heard to utter were,
"All is well; all is WE'LL" His re-
mains we're taken to the NJ f. church
in Newburg, Sunday afternoon,
where funeral sermon was preached
by the Rev. B. B. Evans, assisted by
Rev. !. A. Barnes. After which his
remains were taken to the cemetery
and placed in their final resting
place. He was buried with the hon
ors of the Knights of Pythias, of
which lodge he was leading men,
Der at the time of his death. Mr.
Stuck leaves a wife and seven chill
dren to mourn the loss of kind
and loving husband, fond and af-
fectionate father. Mr.. Stuck had
made a profession of religion short
time before the fatal accident, and
during his sickness he enjoyed the
peace and comfort of religion.
The protracted meeting at indie
pendence closed last Friday night
1t had lasted nearly four weeks, and
the result was, as near as we can as
certain, twenty conversions. Four
were still forward as seekers when
the meeting closed.
John B. Ford, of York's Run, who
is teaching school on Sand Ridge,
came very near being killed last Sat
urday week. When the west bound
accommodation stopped, he jumped
off and ran over to the postoffice to
get his mail, and went back to get
on the train. As it pulled out he
waited till it got by him and then
gave grab" but unfortunately he
had one foot on the rail and it slip
ped and threw him by the side of the
track. He jumped up and tried it
the second time, but was knocked
down. After the train had gone
some distance it stopped and waited
until he got on. Strong men turned
their backs, as they expected him to
be instantly killed.

The Parthenon society has order
ed a reprint Of its constitution and
a committee has been appointed to
examine and suggest amendments to
the same before the copies are prin-
ted.
The last session of the Columbian
society was quite exciting. 1t was
indeed time to try boys hearts and
make them carry canes as weapons
of defense. The elections did not
take place at all as was expected,
but was deferred to some future
time. A full account of the proceed
ings would in the language of Horace
Greedy snake some mighty interest

present during the meeting.

A GENERAL MELANGE.


eff were newspaper man I'd
blow up the cow-sheds on the Uni
versity campus" said law student
yesterday afternoon.
"You would?'
Eyes, and $he old cows, too. They
have no business on that campus"
We have no doubt he's got hold of
the right end of the string. 1t
seems to us that the University
campus might be put to better use
than the pasturing of COWS, calves
and horses. Cow sheds are very I'M
slightly objects to stand in the very
shadow of the beautiful and magnifi-
cent University buildings, The
property is State property and should
be kept clean and in perfect order.
There is hardly small park in the
country which has more natural
beauty than our University campus,
and it is but reasonable that the
State should expect it to be kept in
good order.
President Turner returned from
Clarksburg Friday evening, and says
that the business men of Harrison
county are enthusiastic over the pro-
posed w. Va. & Pa. Railroad. He
says that the project is in better
shape than ever before, and that he
was assured, by men who ought to
know, that large body of men will
be set to work in the spring and the
road opened up as soon as possible.
Morgantown has a delegation ready
to send out and meet it with trum-
pets and banners and all manner of
stringed instruments.

We handed the following clipping
from the Wheeling Iatelligencer to
President Turner yesterday:
Hon. E. Marsh Turner, of Harri-
son county, President of the State
University at Morgantown, is being
mentioned as probable Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district
His predecessor, Hon. W. L. Wilson,
was sent to Congress from the Sec
ond district while President of the
University.
"Are you going to Congress-
mo, this is all stuff. I'm not a
candidate and wouldn't accept the
nomination if it were offered me-
And then ! don't live in the First
district now Moruantovn is nv
home, and I'm thinking about the
University and not about politics.
I'll tell you how this originated.
Somebody in Harrison county wrote
letter to the Gilmer Banner NAM
ing eligible men for Congress from
the First district, and among them
he mentioned my name. No, you
may say for me that there isn't
thing in it, and that it should be
stopped at once, because it may have
a tendency to injure tns University.

WHAT WE LIKE.-We like to hear
a man refuse to take his home paper,
and all the time sponge on his neigh
Dor for the reading of it.
We like to hear man complain
when asked to subscribe for his home
paper that he takes more papers
than he reads now, and then 90
round the corner and borrow his
neighbours, or loaf around till he
gathers in the news from it.
We like to see man run down
his home paper as not worth tax
ing, and every now and then beg
the editor for favors in the editorial
line.
We like to see a mechanic or mer-
chant refuse to advertise in his home
paper, and then try to get share
of the trade which the newspapers
brings to town.
We like to see these things; it
looks very economical, thrifty, pro-
gressive NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Jonr-

YES, WE BELIEVE Our EYEs.-On
Monday, the 18th ult., the new rail
road from Fairmont to Morgantown
was declared open to the traffic of
the world. For years the people of
Morgantown have been watching
and waiting and dreaming of some
convenient way to get out of the
woods. And now a real locomotive
rolls into the old town and they can
scarcely believe their eyes, Beverly
has been as anxious for railroad
perhaps as ever were the people of
any country. They have followed
every rumor of an approaching rail
road only to see it recede away like
a will-o'-t wisp, but time brings
many unthought of changes and as
soon as roads are built all over the
land and when there is no place to
build them then may capitalists seek
our section and build us a raiIroad.-

their looks were very deceptive.

SAVED THE VALUE OF FARM
Sellers Cough Syrup has attained a
reputation almost equal to Sellers
Pills, and more could hardly be said
of any other medicine. The Syrup
should be kept in every family where
there are children, and grown up
people find it most valuable medi-
cine for coughs, colds, hoarseness
and throat and lung diseases. The
pills are such a standard remedy in
some parts of the country that a
family never thinks of doing without
them. Said an old gentleman in
Eastern Maryland, "Why / have
raised my family on Sellers Pills.
and / consider them almost as es-
sential to a family as bread. In the
last thirty years they have saved me
enough, in doctor bills, to pay for a
farm.-CiRcinRdi Times-Star.
