wooden Collection Plates Are Popular

Wooden Collection Plates Are Popular.
Collection plates have for a long
time been in general use. One of the
older styles of plates was of brass,
nickel plated. Plates of this kind were
sold at from five dollars to seven dollars
each. AT the present time collection
plates are made of wood and of various
kinds of metals. The wooden plates
are the more popular, and they are
commonly used in city and country
Usually they are of oak or walnut; oak
is now the wood most favored.
A plain plate of quartered oak may
be bought for three dollars. 1t is II 1-2
inches in diameter. Its fiat rim is "a
inches wide, and the plate is IA inches
deep A plush mat is laid in the center.
A plate of the same size, having a text
carved upon the rim, costs five dol
lars
Various texts are used. "God loveth
a cheerful giver" is the one most often
selected. A receiving basin of wood,
into which the collection plates may be
emptied, is 10 inches in diameter and 2
inches deep, and the rim is 3 IA inches
wide. Carved with an appropriate text
and with a plush mat, a basin costs
twelve dollars. York Sun.

Rev. James Nelson.

Much to the surprise of his cOngfega-
Baptist Church at Stanton, rendered
his resignation last Wednesday night.
The suddenness of this declination took
bis congregation unawares and diseon-
eerted the Doctor himself no little. 1t
was on Monday last that he was called
to Richmond, to consider the offer of the
Presidency of the Baptist Female Col
lege at that place. After careful con-
sideration and examination he decided
to accept the offer. Hence his resigna-
ton. Referring to this matter, the
Richmond Dispatch of the 23rd, says;
'.Dr Nelson came to Richnod ON Monday, con
ferred with the Board Of trustees examined the
institute buildings. and on yesterday signifed
his acceptance of the position offered him.
This action on his part has filled the trustees
with the highest satisfaction and they are
thoroughly enthusiastic as to the future success
of the school
DR.. Nelson is a native of Louis county. He
was in Richmond College at the opening of the
war, studied diligently while in camp and took
his diploma at the Columbian University.in 1875
He was for years settled in Maryland, but after
wards became pastor Of the Baptist church in
Farmville and had much to do with the estab
lishment of the Normal School in that place. He
is at present trustee of that institution. For
five years he has been pastor in the city of
Staunton and is held in the highest esteem by
the people Of the Valley and indeed of the whole
State.
DR.. Nelson is about fifty years of age, OF mag
nihcent physique, courtly manners, and genial
and magnetic spirits. He is student, and is
not only familiar with the classics but richly
cultivated in literary and scientific studies He
is also a man of affairs, and by nature leader.
HIS connection with the institute Will mark a
new era in its history. He will bring to its man
agement tact, energy, and enthusiasm which
constitute the amplest prophecies of its success.

Death of MIR. j. @. Kincaid

Mr.. James Clarke Kincaid, an aged
died at the residence of his son on Tues
day, at the venerable age OF 70 years.
having been born on the 10th day of
February, 1918. His funeral took place
yesterday morning at s O'Clock, Rev. E.
w. McCorkle officiating, and his remains
were then carried to Griffith's burial
grounds, near Ben post~office, for inter
ment, Immediately afterward. The de-
ceased leaves wife and two sons, Mes
srs Geo. w, of this place. and III. A
Kincaid, OF Cincinnati, together with a
large circle of friends to mourn his de-
mise, and to whom the sympathy of the
community goes out, in their bereave-
ment
Mr.. Kincaid was born and reared in
Allegheny county, residing here the
greater part of his life. After the war
he went to Bath county where he resided
until two years ago, when he came to
Clifton Forge. His worth and merit are
attested by those who knew him best,
and who respected and admired him as
an upright man and kind neighbor, a
devoted husband and fond father
Though not a Church member, he had
made profession of religion and was
perfectly resigned to the final summons.
His wife, who survives him and mourns
his death after a happy union OF SO many
years, was Miss Isabelle Clarke, of
Union, Monroe county, w. Va.

Our Mineral Waters

1t is not, perhaps, generally known
even by our own citizens that Clifton
Forge possesses three distinct and valua>
BILE mineral springs of excellent flow.
These three are sulphur, chalybeate and
alum. The first of these is about one
mile and half from town on the Healing
Springs road, and is said to be as fine as
is to be found anywhere. The second is
spring on the Clifton Forge Company
property near the Bagby hotel, and is
pronounced to be Of excellent quality
and of good flow. A trace OF the third is
TO be found in a number of places about
town, but IA recent discovery made by
Mr.. Malcolm Haines, while digging for
water, has developed well Of very
strong alum, pronounced by some as
equal to that of Rockbridge Alum
Springs. Mr. Haines, no doubt, feels
some disappointment at having dug for
ty-seyen feet to find a water which is
not fit for domestic purposes We trust,
however, that he may be repaid for his
trouble by its development for medicinal
purposes
We believe none of these waters have
ever been analyZed, but hope that there
may be some investigation of their prop
critics by experts. which would doubtless
prove them to be very valuable to theil
owners, and add also to the many Other
attractions of this community.

I'll VIII Re Mnll

There WIS no IMPROVEMENT com paey
in tie State shat was in q safer or more
promising condition f'isA The CLIFTON
Forge Company al tie time suit was
! instituted against II by several default
ing stock bolders. OF course that action
had Il depressing effect all around, as
tile bii. filed vas sweeping and seemed
10 implicate every interest OF the Conn
pany and the city. Not only was the
clifton Forge Company seriously ar
fected by it. but every other Company
in the State seemed TO share in the de-
..loraiization, as it was an easy matter TO
file bin and ask for an Injunction
whether there were any real facts TO JUS
tify il or not, and If was not known what
miglfs be their fate The degree Of
distrust caused and the amount OF dam
age done by this action cannot we'll be
measured at this time. But it has been
great. And yet those taking this course
will not be benefited one cent. On the
contrary, the defaulting stockholders
vii! be compelled to comply with their
meet all its obligations, and no one be
the gamers but the lawyers who may be
engaged in the case.
This thing of rushing into court with>
out weighing the costs or considering
the effects is always inadvisable. Real
differences can always be better adjusted
by friendly approaches than by hostile
demonstrations, and this could easily
have been the case in this instance, had
there been disposition to do so. But,
no. Lawyers had to be employed; a
suit instituted; an injunction asked for,
and all the interests of the Company
temporarily paralyZed, without first as
pertaining whether there was any pos
sible way out of the contention.
Whatever may be the outcome OF the
controversy, it will have no permanent
effect upon the growth and prosperity
of Clifton Forge. The proceedings were
fled at very inopportune time-a time
when business generally was depressed,
and the public mind in no condition to
receive such a shock. But the condl-
tions surrounding Clifton Forge, the
natural advantages that exist, and the
influences which must operate for the
upbuildipg OF the place, are strong
enough to withstand and overcome the
obstructive and destructive tendency OF
this action of few stockholders. CHI
