A SAD ACCIDENT.
Drowning Of j. j. FOntain and the
Marrow Escape Of j. D. Shumate.

Mr.. J. j. Fontain, member
of the Western Lumber Company,
and a gentleman we'll known in
this and adjoining counties was
drowned in the Guyandotte river,
near the mouth of Gilbert on last
Friday. It appears that Mr.. Fon-
tain, together with J. D. Shumate
OF Oceana, We're IN a skill follow
ing some loose logs, when the
skiff was capsized. Both of the
men held on to the skiff for a half
mile, when they became separ-
ated, Fontain getting hold Of d
log from which he was finally
thrown and drowned. Shumate
held on to the skiff and was res
cued by Mitchell Carter. Fon-
tain's body was found on Satur-
day morning and taken down the
FLYER for burial.
Mr.. Fontain had a great many
friends in Logan county, and his
bereaved wife has our heartfelt
-.ssmpathies.

Our School Elections.

The pratical nnanimity with
which Mr.. j. M. p. Robinette, was
chosen County Superintendent of
Schools for this county on the 21st
of May, is evidence of the fact
that the people of hogan intend
to place education upon higher
plane in the county. Mr.. Robi-
nette is a poor man, and without
family influence. Coming to this
county about twelve Years ago,
he at once identified himself with
the cause of education, and the
advancement of his pupils, have
been marked i'll every neighbor-
hood in which he has taught,and
we are confident that under his
management, the cause of educa-
ton will be rapidly advanced.
following members of the
different Boards of Education
were elected:
Logan District.-H. B. Hale,
Commissioner.
Chapmansvillc District.-Har-
ry Blair, Jr., Commissioner.
Tridelphia Dissatisfaction Al
tizer, President and M. A. Doss
.and-Albert Browning Commits
sioners.
Magnolia District.-E.z E. FILLER
Commissioner. .
Lee District.-John Station,
Commissioner.
Hardee District.-Ira Evans,
Commissioner, with ties between
A. j. Spalding and Levi Evans as
the other Commissioner.
There were practically no votes
against the levy in any of the,
districts.

The Guyandotte river on last
Friday reached its highest stage
for five years, and at least five
thousand logs of the very best
quality, besides some hundred or
more RATS, passed this place for
Guyandotte. The boom in the
river above Huffs creek was
broken and the loose timber
turned adrift. 1t is estimated
that there were more than ten
thousand loose logs in the river,
and if this be SO, there are over
five thousand still above this
place awaiting another rise in the
riyYsr

We give in this issue the official
vote of Cabell county on the
question of issuing bonds for the
Huntington and Guyandotte
Railroad. 1t will be seen that
the citizens of Huntington gave
a large majority for the bonds,
and the noble efforts of the bust
ness men of Huntington, to Sc
cure railroad up the Guyandotte
river, whereby the hidden wealth
of Lincoln and Logan counties
should be developed, should be
appreciated by the people Of
those counties and their trade as
far as possible should be given to
the business men of Huntington.
The town of Guyandotte on the
other hand, which has received all
of its benefits, from the counties
of Lincoln and Logan, gave a
majority of thirty against bonds.
Showing that its citizens had no
gratitude for past favors, and that
they were still anxious to reap
further benefits from the misfor-
tune Of their up river neeighbors.
We are still compelled to use the
Guyandotte river in getting our
timber to market, yet we hope
that the owners of the timber
will see that their patronage is
given to the business men of
Huntington.
As far as we are concerned, We
are not injured by the vote. It's
only a question Of time when the
Norfolk 4 Western Railroad will
be built with a branch road from
the upper Guyandotte by this
place connecting with it, near the
mouth Of Pigeon creek, which
will give us a better outlet, and
