Death under any circumstance is
sad indeed. The pale rider visits
alike the rich and the poor and
leaves the same sad sting. The
wealthy, however, have the conso-
lation of knowing that they can lay
away their dear ones no matter
what the cost. But under old prices,
the poor seen months of hard labor
staring them in the face to pay for
even common coffin. IT'S not so
now. ]. NJ. Adkins, the Under
taker, has witnessed the extortion
heretofore practiced by uLdertakers
who were members of trusts, and
has undertaken to bring prices
down. This he has accomplished
by bringing collins and caskets
down more than one-haIf their for
mer price. A fine hearse always
ready without extra cost.

OGERADA. = Among the many
beautiful and valuable articles in the
Floral Hall at our Fair this year, a
large picture occupying a promi-
nent place in the Hall, was the
observed of all observers" 1t bore
the name "Ogerada," and all who
saw it acknowledged it's right to the
first premium. The picture is a
handsomely framed oil painting
representing lovely young girl in
n listening attitude; her beautifully
shaped hand raised as if to enioin
silence. This young girl, "Ogerada, .
was Etolen when a child by Indians,
and adopted by them. In after
years loving parents found the lost
one, and this picture represents
Ogerada listening to the farewell
song of her Indian friends. "Oger-
ada" is tho work of an artist of rare
ability; this artist is Mrs. John Nor
gan, formerly Miss Atkeson, but
now of Poca, Putnam county. Mrs.
Morgan's talent has been highly cul-
tivated, but no amount of training
could have produced such an ex-
quisite creation as "Ogerada," un-
less the hand of genius had guided
the brush. Mrs. Morgan has been
solicited to become art teacher at
Barboursville this year but surely
this will only be stepping stone
to something higher. Genius, such
as Mrs. Morgan possesses, cannot
hide its light under bushel. We
wish her every success, for she de-
