He Did not Suicide.

Thomas Frankenbery left his
home at Point Marion on July 23rd
and as he was not heard from for
some days a rumor was started that
he had committed suicide. He had
been paying attentions to a Miss
Hildebrand to which his parents and
best friends objected. The report
made it that his attentions were re-
fused and after having an interview
with the young lady he left her tel
ling her that she would be sorry for
refusing him and intimating that
he would drown himself Not being
seen for several days it was reported
that he had drowned himself in
Cheat river. The report is untrue
as is also the report that he had had
trouble at home. He was Tilted by
the girl. When he left Point Mari
on he went to Grafton, w. Va. He
came home on Saturday and on
Monday he left with his father and
a younger brother for Davis Island
to build bear trap dam at that
place. 1t is stated that the person
by whom the report of the suicide
was started knew at the time that
Frankenberry was at Grafton. Con

Why Abolish Town Scales.

We do not understand the pol
icy of abolishing the town scales. 1t
is true that the amount of coal that
will be hauled hereafter will be
comparatively small, but this has
not been the only use to which town
scales have been put,
They are an immense convenience
if not necessity to a community.
There are large quantities of hay
and other commodities hauled into
town which must be weighed as the
only means of ascertaining the ex-
act value. To have public scales in
the town would be satisfaction and
convenience worth more than they
would cost to maintain them. 1t
would be easy to find a man who
would care for the scales for less
than the fees they would bring, and
the whole thing could be kept up
free of expense.
Now that we have the scales it
seems to be only reasonable that the
town authorities should provide for
setting them up at some convenient
point.

Paw Your Pastor.

From more than one section of our
country comes the report that the
minister's salary is unpaid and the
indications are that some of the
ministers of the M. 4. church will go
to conference with from 20 to 33 per
cent of their years salary due them.
This is none to the credit of the
church members and church goers.
People who won't pay their preacher
do not deserve to have the gospel.
Such state of affairs is great i'm
position on the at best poorly paid
pastor There are but few ministers
who do not earn much more than
they receive. AS class they are
hard working, selfsacrificing set
of men who give their best days and
most earnest work for the good OF
their fellow men. Even when every
cent due under the contract is paid
it is little enough and it is shame
to cheat them out of that-and fail
ure to pay is nothing less than that
Be conscientious, aud if you have not
Cancelled your obligations in this di-
rection do so at once and let your
pastor go to conference with good
report of you. Do this and you will
have your reward.

A Sensational Greene County Wedding.

Seymour Hall of Carmichaels. and
Miss Hannah Hartzell of Waynes-
burg, were married on Tuesday in
an unusual way. Miss Hartzell's
mother, disliking Hall forbade him
to come to the house, but the young
couple eluded the old lady. On
Tuesday morning Miss Hartzell was
missing, and her mother, suspecting
a runaway, went to the county
clerks office to forbid the issuing Of
the marriage license, but Hall had
been there before her. She then
went to Halls boarding house and
there found her daughter secreted
in clothes press. just as Mrs.
Hartz": was leaving the room she
met a minister who was coming to
marry the couple. She forbade him
to enter, and while she was notifying
other ministers not to marry her
daughter, a justice of the peace
came to the room and tied the knot.
Halls father arrived soon after and
threatened to fog his son for getting
married. -Courier.

One of the Authorizations that
prevails hereabouts is that any man
can plan a house. We have no use
for an architect. The expense of
an architect is regarded as money
thrown away. A great many exper-
iments are made on this basis. We
have few houses designed by archi-
tects. But the man who attempts
to be his own architect is like the
man who attempts to be his own
lawyer. The proverb says he has a
fool for his client. 1t is an expen-
sive and disappointing experience to
ignore the architect in building.
1t is misfortune to town as well
as to the builders.

his relationship with the church
would be painful to them.

to be played at Fairmont base ball

The Graftons were very anxious to
have the game played on their own

was left to the home club as being
challenged to select the grounds and
the club is unit in favor of the

likely be about Sept. 10.
