On Tuesday Mr.. John Staub, of
Green Spring Mills, met with quite n
serious accident. He was driving a
two-horsc wagon near Mr.. G. c. jan
ney's ware house. when the horses
got frightened at the cars and be-

thrown from the wagon and received
very severe bruise on his shoulder,
but fortunately no bones were broken.
The team ran into the planning mill
yard, and there broke loose from the
wagon and ran to the Valley House
stable.
The truth I" that in the midst of
life we arc in DEATH" was exemplified
anew on Tuesday morning by the sad
news that Mr.. Lawrence StearDs. a
worthy and prominent citizen of
IIedgesvilIc, was found dead in his
bed. lie had been about as usual on
the day previous and had acted as
pail bearer at the funeral of Mrs.
Jacob +. Harrison. and we arc in
formed that when he retired for the
night he seemed to he in his usually
good health. The cause of his death
is supposed to have been appoplcxy
or heart disease.

Wcst Virginia is little but manages
to make herself heard in Congress
through her able Representatives.
The latest and greatest of the gar
lands which have been awarded the
Mountain State is gracefully and
worthily worn by Hon. VIM. l.. Will
son, the member from the Second
District.
His speech in the debate on the
pension bill is spoken of by the lead
ing dailies of the country as being
one of the best that has been heard
in Congress this session. He de-
serves all the praise that is bestowed
upon him, for he is most worthy
gentleman, and is well equipped for
the high position he occupies.
Mr.. Wilson certainly has a bright
political future. If he lives and
''luck's'' well his chances for the
United States Senate are good.
