Major N. Fitzhugh.

1t is with a great deal of regret
that we chronicle the death of Major
Nicholas Fitzhugh.
Major Fitzhugh's life is part oil
the history of this valley extending
over a period of nearly half a cen.
fury. In his active days he was
one of the leaders of the Kanawha
bar, then noted throughout the
State of Virginia for its ability and
brilliancy. He was gentleman oil
the old school and practiced always
in his intercourse with everyone
that courtesy that grows rarer as
we recede from the chivalric days
and become more absorbed with the
practical features of present day
existence.
He was positive in his character.
istics, outspoken of opinion, fearless
in his convictions and eloquent and
persuasive in discourse.
He was the contemporary of Sum
mers, Smith, Carr, Patton and
others whose names adorn the roll
of ante bellum lawyers at this bar,
nearly all of whom have passed on
to the Supreme tribunal.-Kand,rha
Gazette.

Mason County will have a little
inauguration of her own on Janua-
ry I'd. as New Years Day is on
Sunday, which will be quite an aus
picious event; but we have not yet
heard that the incoming officials
have put up for inaugural festal
feasts, ball and all this sort of thing.
If the new officers were Democrats,
we would be better pleased, but as
the verdict was against us in this
county, we cannot do less than TO
congratulate the new officers, who
are all good men, and hope that
their official life will be as pure,
honest and popular as has been that
of those whom they succeed.

at Tomlinson's.

Our readers doubtless remember
the towboat Veteran No. 2, which
lay here during the high water of
1884, and her generous captain,
Bert Glow, who rendered such
valuable assistance to the unfortu,
nate sufferers. Capt. Glow is now in
charge of the Mark Winnett which
is at present on the docks at Point
Pleasantundergoing repairs. Mean
while the captain came down to
renew acquaintance made on the
occasion of the flood and in COM
pany with G. Fred Henking, who
was foremost among those who did
noble work here on the occasion re-
ferred to, made this Office pleasant
call Friday evening. 1t was Capt.
Glow with his yawl who in company
with Postmaster Brading and
others met the G. III. V. & T. train
at Mills Station and brought the
mails in after it had been delayed
several days on account of the high
water. He also commanded the
little steamer which went from here
up by Cheshire and other points,
and did SO much toward rescuing
property from inundated houses
and barns, and restoring it to it's
owners. We certainly owe a debt
of gratitude to this big hearted and
generous Captain. Gauipolis

A swindle is being worked in the
following manner: a stranger goes
around insuring property, and de-
livers a handsome policy. If the
farmers building never burns down,
he never knows that he has been
swindled, but if it does and he be-
gins to look around for his money
he finds that there is not, nor never
was any such company. The sup
posed agent pockets the premium
and that is the last you ever hear of
him or his company. To be always
safe deal only with you local agents.

RIVALS FOR THE BAR-RooNs.

A glance at the bar-rooms of the great
hotels of the city will convince tue most
skeptical that the saloon of to-day spares no
pains or expense in catering to the finer
tastes of its patrons, says Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., in Frank Leslie's Weekly. Men
become drunkards often under protest.
Thousands of young men go TO tho devil be-
cause there seems to be nowhere else to 20.
Suppose the ten thousand saloons in New
York were opposed by five thousand coffee
houses on the style of the English establish
ments Suppose they Were fitted up as
handsomely and situated as well, and filed
with good cheer, would not drinking be re.
duce1 to a minimum?
| do not mean so many dingy stores where
coffee and other temperance drinks, creams.
and the like, are servet. What | mean is
that they should be fitted in handsome style
lunch rooms, smoking rooms and
assembly rooms. In other words,
only suppose we should put forth
the same labor and outlay toward saw
ing and elevating men as Is now put forth
