the house will be begun at once. 1t
will be a large house with quite an
elaborate stone and brick 'front.'
Rock-faced stone will extend to the
first story and there will be square

main entrance, which will be through
an open vestibule, there will be carved
columns supporting the arch. Above
the entrance carved stone corbel

At meeting of the Directors of the
West Virginia Reform School, held
at Grafton January I'd, Senator Geo.
E. Price, of Keyser, author of the act
creating the institution, was elected
President of the board, and j. Hop
Woods, of Barbour, was elected Sec
rotary. On the Sd the Directors ex-
amined the site selected at Prunty-
town by the commission. The grounds
consist of the old courthouse and
Jail, donated by Taylor county, sew
eral town lots and some four dwelling
houses, and of land, in all, about 126
acres. The Board decided not to
elect a Superintendent nor to take
other steps toward the opening of the
school until their next meeting, which
will be held after the Legislature adj
journs. The properties bought by the
commission at Pruntytown cost $1O,-
722, of which amount the citizeus of
Grafton and Pruntytown contributed
$4,000. The Board can scarcely do
anything decisive with the funds on
hand, and will ask the Legislature
for a small appropriation.

Congressman VIM. L. Wilson, of
this place, was one of the distinguished
guests at the banquet of the Young
Mems Democratic Association of
Philadelphia, last Wednesday, Jack
sons Day.. President Cadwalader
occupied the seat of honor, in the
centre of the guests table. On his
right sat Thomas F. Bayard, Ex-
President CleveIand's Secretary of
State, on his left sat Congressman
William L. Wilson, of West Virginia.
On the right of Ex-Secretary Bayard
sat Henry Flanders, Congressman
Ashbel p. Fitch, of New York, Nor
ton P, Henry and Judge of the Su-
preme Court of the State Brewster
McCoIlum. On the left of Congress
man Wilson. sat Samuel Dickson,
Richard Vaux, Supreme Court Judge
Silas NJ. Clark and Ex-State Senator
Eckley B. Coke. Mr.. Wilson re-
sponded to the toast: "The assertion
ofthe right private property against
needless taxation, whether local or
general" He recited a number of
instances in history to prove that
the great army of wage-workers
throughout the country would best
serve their interests, if they would
but thoroughly inquire into the system
of taxation and afterwards insist upon
being represented in the halls of leg
islation at Washington by men who,
understanding their needs, would
dare stand up for their interests
against the powers of the corporations
whose agents flock there to devise
methods to keep the wage-workers in
a condition of servitude, while the
already immense profits of the mo-
nopolistic cliques are yearly in
creased. His declarations for tariff
reform were received with much APP
plause.

43 years having been initiated June 26, 1916
Resotred, That while we leave it for those
better acquainted with him and his good deeds
to write his biography, we feel that an honored
one from US has crossed the deep waters of
death. we hope. to enter the bright harbor of
celestial light aud love- there to strike hands
with the mighty army of his brethren who have
gone before, and then to wait the coming of
the millions that are to follow on that In his
death one of the brightest stars has been
plucked from the banner of Odd-Ft llowship.
Resotred, That now our brother sleeps in the
quiet city, we offer this feeble tribute to his
memory and tender to the bereaved family our
sympathy.
Resolced, That the members wear the usual

sale of the Hoffman lands on Sugar
creek and Elk river, in Webster coun-

along the line of the new Camden

are regarded, in view of the great de-

as valuable property.
"A decision in the case of the peo-

the American sugar refinery company
was rendered in San Francisco last
week by Judge Wallace in the supe-

determine whether it was lawful for
the company to join the sugar trust.
Judge Wallace decided that it was an
unlawful combination and that in con-
sequence the American sugar refinery
company had forfeited it's corporate
charter. 1t will, therefore, be COM
PEELED to close.

The Senate Committee on claims
has again submitted favorable re-
port on Senator Faulkner's bill to re-
fund to the State of West Virginia
$2,019, the amount paid to certain
officers of the West Virginia militia
for services rendered during the civil
war. 1t appears that there were sew
eral men who performed the duties of
officers, but only received the pay of
privates. This bill is to make good
to the State the difference in the
amount, which was furnished by the
State. The question has been pend
ing in Congress several years, but it
has never been favorably considered
in both houses.

II is proposed to purchase the
Blue Sulphur Springs, in Cabell
county, for a West Virginia Odd
Fellows Home. On this subject the
Odd Fel1otos' Advocate, published at
Huntington, says: Who can con-
ceive of a more noble deed than to
provide homes for aged brethren and
a place where the unfortunate of our
Order may seek refuge under its fra
ternal boughs, protected from the
cares of life and the misfortunes of
old age? Can this Grand Lodge do
any act at this session that will tend
more to the relieving of minds of
what will become of our aged fathers
and orphan children, should misfor-
tune overtake any of them? Besides
this, it is in keeping just what Odd
Fellowship teaches. This is one of
the first principles of Odd Fellow
ship; and if this is so, why should
we hesitate to do our duty?
