rs TT True ?

There is rumor current upon our
streets that the County within the
past two years has contracted debts
to the extent of from eight to ten
thousand dollars, caused by the issue
of orders by the County Court in ex-
cess of the annual levy. If true, tins
is bad showing for the fiscal man
agement of affairs by the County
Court, Coming as it does, right pre-
ceding an election, it will be the sub
iect of much comment and discus
sion, and whoever takes office the
succeeding term will be burdened
and hampered by the outstanding
indebtedness. We shall be glad tc

Nearly Buried Alive.

CArRo, Ill, June GA singular
story has reached here from Clinton,
Ky. 1t appears that George o. Dan
iels, of that place, had been i'll for
several months, and last Wednesday,
to all appearances, died The re-
mains were put in q casket, waere
they remained for twenty hoars,
awaiting the arrival of relatives to at
tend the funeral. At midnight Thurs.
day the watchers who surrounded the
coffin were startled by deep groan
emanating from it, and all but one, q
German named Wabbeking, precipi-
lately rushed from the room. Wab-
beking remained, and as the groans
continued, he raised the coffin lid and
saw that Daniels was alive. Selling
the body, he placed it upright. A
few spasmodic gasps; ehudder, and
the corpse spoke aloud. The rela-
tives returned to find the man sitting
in chair and conversing with rea-
sonable strength Mr.. Daniels claims
to have been perfectly conscious of
everything which passed around him,
but says he was unable to move
muscle. He heard the sobs of his
relatives when he was pronounced
dead by doctors, and noticed the pre-
parations for the funeral. He is
about eighty years of age.

Judge Barrett, of New York City,
in a recent charge to a jury, made the
following significant and terse re-
mark. in reference TO labor unions,
viz: 'The law of these unions is not
yet superior to the law Of the land +"
This is a simple truth, and fact that
every citizen must understand. There
is but one supreme authority in this
country and that is the law. Any eff
fort to override or infringe upon the
law must necessarily meetits penalty.
The union that does not have the law

cerainly be short-lived and end in
disgrace

Mrs. Cooley kept house for a Mr..

spent his time between Baldwins-
Vile and Templeton. Cooley went
to Hill's house while the family were
at supper Mrs. Cooley saw him
outside and shouted, Ny God, there
comes my husband" She ran into

ran to the kitchen He followed
and shot her again. The woman
then fed to the street where the
brutal husband fred third time,

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF
w. VA.-This is certainly one of the Asso-
Citations that has come to stay. It's found
ers and officers are among the prominent
business men Of Martinsburg, w. Va, who
are determined on building itup on sound
basis. They have guaranteed the face of
their policies from the start, without re-
gard to the amount produced by single
Mutual UnderWrtter, Green
Spring, Ohio.
Cheap Life Insurance.-Among the
patrons of the Equitable Life Association,
Of West va, in our town, will be found the
best class of people and many Of our best
business men, who after a careful eXamin-
alton of the Associations Plan felt convin-
ced that it was one of the best that they
had yet met with, and of course the agent
had no difficulty in getting their consent to
write them policies. 1t affords safe and
cheap insurance, while it's Endowment
Plan affords advantages superior to those
of savings bank inasmuch as you are as
sured of much larger returns for the money
invested and at the same time is equally as
safe, in fact safer than most institutions
of the latter kind usually are. We would
advise those desiring to carry policy of
life insurance to examine the plan Of the
Equitable Grafton CIV. Va Eagle.
We are glad to note the comments of
the State press. Good words come from all
directions, wherever its business has been
introduced. Why send money out of the
State for what can be furnished as safely
and cheaply at home? Why not encourage
home enterprise? Besides, tits being con-
coded by persons who are competent to
Judge, that the plan of the Equitable gives
more advantages to policy holders than
any other now before the public

PEPSECTTI0N.

The Legislators Of the French Re
public propose expelling the Princes
from France This is wrong in a Re
public, and savors of prescription and
ostracism. 1t is contrary to every
republican principle, and in opposi-
ton to sound republican ideas. They
might pass an act doing away with
all titles and class distinction, and
place men before the law as they are
by nature, simply men, but to ban
ish, expel, prescribe and prosecute, is
contrary to Christian ethics and hu
man rights.
