That West Virginia beats the
world for timber, we have but to
publish tho following to prove 1t:
"Recently Capt Griffith fell a
poplar tree in Boone conntyi which
was as he expressed it ga whale. :"
The tree made six logs of u feet
each and measured as follows: first
cut z feet i inches across the small
end, second; Z feet; third, 6 feet 8
inches, fourth; 6 feet inch and the
sixth 5 feet inches. This is one
of the largest trees, if not the largest
ever cut in this State. Our forests
are filed with just such timber and
purchasers arc focking in to reap
wealth from the purchase and sale
of fine timber"
II looks like the bridges of this
county were built so that the life of
them would not be over eight or
ten years. We have in view now
the two bridges spanning crooked
creek, at this place. Both of them
have been built within the last ten
years and now neithor one of them
is considered safe for travel. The
one ON the Clarksburg road, is doubt
less the worst, and if something is
not soon done with 1t, the county
will have big damage suit ON its
hands. We do not wish to say more
at present.
We notice from Chattanooga
(Tenn.) papers that Mr.. John G.
Bowyer, formerly of this city, has
been promoted. The following is
clipped from the Tribune: At the
Directors meeting of Tho Peoples
Bank held yesterday, Mr.. John G.
Bowyer was unanimously elected
assistant chashier, an Office that re-
quircs Il thoroughly competent bus
mess man and n man we'll versed in
all its various terms.
Mr.. Bowyer, who is quite a young
man, is at present the popular and
efficient paying teller of the First
National Bank, and in that capacity
he has not only won the respect and
esteem of his employers but the
praises of the merchants and bust
ness men; for the satisfactory way
in which he has always performed
his duties.
He has rendered his resignation
to President Montague; to take effect
on April /, and on that date will
commence operations under the new
regime.
With its splendid location, its
magnificent equipment and thor
oughly competent officials, who
represent large banking capital,
the Peoples Bank deserves and will
attain eminent success.
SoRkY HE'S GoSE.-Dr. 8. H.
Gregory removed to Point Pleasant
yesterday, where he will continne
the practice Of his profession, den
tistry. The Doctor has been a good
citizen, a genial neighbor and a
trustworthy man in every respect.
As a dentist his work has given the
best of satisfaction. His discovery
and invention of Il new process for
fitting mouths with teeth, no matter
how badly the processes are absorb
ed, is an important and successful
one. We happen TO have personal
knowledge Sf three outfits of teeth
he has made for as many different
persons. Two of them never had
sets to suit before, and one of them
was a lady over eighty years old
The first two are highly pleased
with his work, and the old lady can
bite thread and says her teeth fit
like the bark on Il tree. DIR. Gregory
is sure to do wei! at the Point as
soon as the people learn his prof
ciency.-Racine Tribune.
