George Moredock's innumerablc

4 What, then, shall it be said that
we leave SO great and SO good a
man as the much loved founder of
Hartford City without a suitable
A, monument to further perpetuate
his honored and beloved memory?
(. No, no, certainly not. Ingrati-
tude he detested when a living
man, and his noble characteristics
of soul we always admired. Ad-
miration without notable evidence
of our acts is only an empty phan-
tom.
A monument to his memory we
shall erect, and one that shall per-
ish only with the decay of time.
In this article we merely voice
the sentiments of thousands of APP
preciative citizens with whom we
have come in contact, and clearly
discovered that the same sentiment
inspired ono and all. We have
been, therefore, importuned and
solicited to express the unanimous
desire of Hon. George Moredock's
countless friends and admirers in
one short, yet sweet sentence, and
which just exactly amounts to
what sincerity founded on jus

1t is this:
We earnestly request our two
honorable members of the Legisla
ture from Mason county, in the
forthcoming session to have the
name of Hartford City changed
legally to "Moredock City," in
Mason county, State of West Vir-
ginia, and hencefortb, and forever
in Geography, and in the postal
departments to be known rs "More-
dock City"
LAID To REsr.-The remains of
DR.. R. M. Hogg, of Mcdowell coun-
ty, and son of W. IL. Hogg, Esq, of
this county, arrived at his fathers
home in Pleasant Flats, last We'd
nesday at noon. Funeral services
were conducted at the family resi-
dence on Thursday at p. M, after
which his remains were taken in
charge by Minturn Lodge, A. F. &
a. NJ, of this city, and conveyed to
Lone Oak Cemetery, where they
were inferred, the services being
conducted by the Masons in their
beautiful and impressive burial SER
vice. The funeral was one of the
largest that ever took place in this
county.
The deceased was bright young
man, beloved and respected by ali
who knew him, and was enjoying
lucrative practice at Algoma, in
Mcdowell county, where he had the
practice of several coal companies.
On the Monday before his sad
death he went to Roanoke to call On
DIR. Stone, and staid over night with
him. He was not feeling well, and
about two o'clock Tuesday morning
DR.. Stone got up to fix his associate
a dose of medicine. While hc.was
engaged in this manner, with his
back turned to the bed, he was
startled by the report of a fire arm,
and on looking around, he saw DR..
Hogg with one of his revolvers in
his hand, and a bullet hole in his
right temple, from which the blood
was flowing in a stream.
There is mystery about the
tragic death of DR.. Hogg, and it
should be Investigated. There are
none here who believe that he would
have deliberately committed suicide,
for he had no business troubles, or
any other troubles that would cause
him to become respondent. His
father has gone to Roanoke to in
vestigate the sad affairs. To the
father and mother and brother and
sister, who are now mourning the
death of a son and brother, we tend.
er our sincerest sympathy as we'll
as the sympathies of this entire
county.
MARRIED.-on last Sunday in the
afternoon, on the hill above the
Locks, and at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. G. E. Ord to
