Church Notes.

Rev. +. G. w. Ford will hold q
quarterly meeting at Fletcher's
Chapel on the 4th and 9th of May.
The following services will be held

town: April 10, Good Friday, night;
collection for promoting Christianity
among the Jews. April 81, Easter

90, Tuesday night, Bishops vista
ton and collection for the Shelter

Minister in charge
A very commendable missionary
spirit now possesses coterie of lit
tie misses and masters of Morgan
town. Far in the land of the heath
en- Chinee there are young people
who go to the missionaries with a
desire for civilized education, and
the money to defray the expenses
incident to their schooling is paid
from funds sent over by charitable
people the world over. There is,
however, one little girl who has a
very ready aptitude at learning and
is on the road to higl er education,
but her pathway became rough and
hard to travel for lack of funds.
These little people in Morgantown
learned of this state of affairs, and,
having been convinced that their lit
tie girl dwelling in the land of the
Mikado was above the average of
her race in intelligence, have organ
lied themselves into club for the
purpose of raising money and re-
hitting to their Chinese girl to de-
fray her expenses while at school.
This kind of missionary work is
satisfactory in so much as their eff
forts and the money they expend
are appreciated practically and the
result of this work is visible so to
speak, thus keeping alive their in
terest in their especial Nakapoo.
God bless the little ones the names
of whom are: Misses Blanche Wood,
Anna Kitchens, Bertha McVicker,
Jennette DeMain, Louisa Huston,
Flora Hayes, Mary Hayes, Jessie
Moorhead, Olive Pierce, Fannie
Wagner, Mary Pickenpaagh, Lottie

ney, Miss Emma Coombs, Ada Wade,
Lucy Wood, Daisy Wood, Lou Hogue,
Maude Rice, Daisy Rice, Nellie Pick
enpaugh, and Masters Vain Wiley,

Wood, Jammie McGrew, Bert Law

why Not Thuse I

President Harrison proclaims that
April 80 should be observed as day
of Thanksgiving for the liberty, pros
perity and peace that have been in
the train of our government since its
formal organization 100 years ago.
This centennial is of an event in
our history that should be apprecia-
ted by all and in some manner all
should give some demonstration OF
thanks for the blessings that have
followed us.
In many places preparations are
in progress for enthusiastic displays
on this to be made gala day. Let
us do the same here in Morgantewn.
We have now plenty of time before
US for the perfecting of all arrange
ments, so now let US all go to work
with will to celebrate in Morgan
town. 1t is an Important and an
illustrious event one to stir up and
make vigorous our fealty to the gov
eminent thus established just cen
tury ago. Morgantown young men
know this and will not stand back
when there is big day in store for
Morgantown and on that day it could
be made. Take up your subscrip-
tions, gentlemen; we're ready to drop
our nickel in the hat to raise the
fund for grand old time. We sug-
gest the matter; now some one go to
work,

An Alleged Murderer Arrested Here.

An Alleged Murderer Arrested Here.
Last Friday Detective Gothrop,
of Clarksburg, went before Squire
Hayes and swore out a warrant for
the arrest of one Gum, alias Jasper
Jones, who worked on the tramway
in this county close to Mt. Morris.
That evening Jones was brought
here and another warrant returnable
at Charleston to await requisition
from the Governor of Kentucky was
sworn out, and the detective and the
supposed criminal left for that place.
A hearing was not held here.
The story, briefly stated, is that
about a year ago man named Kin
caid was foully murdered at his
home at Frankfort, KY, by man
named Gum, and detectives have
been on his track ever since. Jones
answered to all the descriptions and
the photograph and was arrested on
suspicion. He has wife and was
considered a good, steady workman,
providing well for his family. He
has only been in the neighborhood a
short while, but his actions showed
him to be good man. He told his
tale to Attorney Lazzell, which is
that he come from Webster county,
and that he never travelled under
any name but that of Jasper Jones,
and that he never was in the State
Of Kentucky. Should this story be
true it will be no trouble to find vim
dication for his wrongs.
The hard part is what Mrs. Jones
has to bear. She is an honest-ap-
pearing woman and loudly denounces
the action of the authorities and is
much distressed on that account
Time will tell whether it's Jones OF
whether it's Gum.
