Wife ard Eldest Son Drowned.

On Tuesday morning last Mr.. Therit
Towes, of the firm of Towles s. Co. .mer-
chants, received telegram from Don, q
station on the G. & 0. railroad, one mile
east of Hinton, w. Va, conveying the
sad intelligence that on the previous even
ing the wife Of w. W. Boxley, Esq,
and his eldest son, Willie, were drowned
in the Greenbrier river. About7 o'clock
on the evening mentioned, Mr.. and Mrs.
Boxley, with their two little boys, aged
respectively about six and ten years,
started in a skiff to row across the Green
brier river, which flows in front of their
residence at DOM The current be-
ing rather swift, they were carried down,
stream, the boat finally becomming fast
on rock. Mr. W., in his efforts to re-
lease it lost one of his oars, the boat
capsized and the entire party were left
to the mercy of the waves. An Italian,
in his employ, heard their cries and went
to the rescue, and succeeded in getting
Mr. Boxley and his youngest boy to the
shore, but before Mrs. Boxley could be
reached, both she and her second son
had drowned Her body was rescured
about twenty minutes after the sad
occurrence, but the little boy was not
found until the next morning.

4 Visit to Glen Wilton.

We editor with very pleasant company
paid brief visit to this bright little
town on Saturday last. The country ly-
ing between this city and Glen Wilton
is a panorama of delightful scenery,
made up of hills and dales, meadows and
winding streams. There is long strip
of table land in the vicinity of Lick Run,
which is in a high state Of cultivation,
and the various farm houses thereon are
comfortable and in good repair. We
noticed several tracts OF good timber,
but by far the larger portion is valuable
chiefly for it's mineral deposits. The r.
Sc A. railroad follows the Jackson river,
and Chords the people Of this section a
convenient means of sending their pro-
ducts to market.
Princess Furnace, which has closed
temporarily, is known far and wide fol
the high grade iron it makes. The town
itself is clean and has an inviting ap
nearancp.

A Jealous Minister

Rev. E. W. MacCorlzle, the esteemed
Pastor of the Presbyterian church, ex-
hibits marked devotion to the cause in
which he is enlisted. On Sunday last he
Sabbath School exercises and took an
active part in the Young Peoples Meet
ing, known as the Christian Endeavor
Society. To accomplish this work re-
quires careful study aud preparation,
evidencing his great concern for the
spiritual well being of his fellows. Such
q pastor should not only receive the cor
dial support and cooperation of Presby-
terians, but of all persons interested in
the spread of the. Gospel.

Erroneous Inpresslon.

The impression seems to prevail that
the Dime Savings Bank was inaugurated
for the exclusive benefit of the ladies and
children, and that no others could de-
posit their savings in it. This is a mis-
take. 1t is intended not only for the
ladies and the children but for the men
also, and especially for young men who
desire to save mon thly something out of
their earnings.
