As typhoid fever is again making
its dreaded appearance in our town
and country, word of advice in
regard to the water you drink seems
necessary at this time. All those
dependent upon the rivers for their
water supply. should not use a pint
of it without first boiling. In this
way you get rid of nearly all of the
impurities contained in the water.

WEST VIRGINIA R1vERs.vA glance
at the map shows that majority OF
the West Virginia rivers have their
sources in the same part of the state
The Greenbrier and the several
branches of Cheat head near the
line between Pocahontas and RAN
dolph counties. A little to the east
in Pendleton county is the head of
the North Fork of the Potomac,
whose waters eventually find their
way to the Atlantic. Gauley rises
in Pocahontas and Elk in Randolph
as does also the Tygart's Valley and
Buckhannon rivers, while the West
Fork of the Monongahela and the
Little Kanawha begin their respec-
tive courses in Upshur county which
joins Randolph on the west. The
James River also rises in this neigh
borhood just across the Virginia,
and SO distinct is the divide at its
head that on one side of the turn
pike water can be seen running in
one direction to the James and on
the other side water running to the
Potomac. The extreme distance
between the heads of the rivers
named is not over fifty miles yet

rections, and most of them event.

SAD AccIpENr.-A fatal runawal

SAD ACADEMIA fatal runaway
occurred last Thursday evening
near Frazier's Bottom, on the
Kanawha. Mr.. C. C. Martin, who
lived at Evergreen and bis married
daughter, from Raymond City, Mrs.
Myrtle Melton, with two of the lat
ter's children, aged respectively
two and a-half and one years, were
driving in a spring wagon from
Evergreen to Frazier's Bottom,
when the horse suddenly SHE'D and
became unmanageable, throwing all
four out of the vehicle. Dashing on
some distance, it was stopped by a
passer by. Thomas Morrow, who
was coming along behind, came to
the spot, and found Mr.. Martin lying
in tho road with his head crushed,
and dead. Nearby was Mrs. Mel
ton, unconscious. Her head was
also crushed in, and she died at
one o'clock, Friday morning The
children were unhurt. Mr.. Morrow
picked the little ones up and sat
them down on the edge of the road,
while he ran off to summon help.
This he quickly found, and return
ing, found the baby on the mothers
breast, and the little girl trying to
brush the blood from the forehead
of her grandfather. The sad acct
dent has cast a gloom over the en-
tire neighborhood.
Miss Yena Thomas second concert
at the Opera House, Tuesday night
of last week, was a greater success
than her first one, given some two
months ago. Every one who took
part in the entertainment rendered
their parts like old hands at the
business. Miss Nellie Norvell, of
Charleston, who always captures
the hearts of our people, sang several
songs at this concert, and she was
eneored time and time again, and
had to return to the foot lights
several times. A recitation by Miss
Mary Hill, daughter of Rev. W. E.
Hill, who used to be pastor of the
Presbyterian church in this place,
was treat to the audience, and her
rendering was SO perfect that she
was vociferously encored, and had
to return to the stage again. The
little children did their parts SO
well that they were the wonder of
the audience. There is a splendid
talent among the young boys and
girls of this town, that only needs
development, to make them the
equal of any.

1t is reported that on Friday
last, some white and negro boys, in
the negro settlement near Judge
Moore's were playing "white caps, =
the little colored boy being made
the victim. The white boys put a
rope around his neck and swung
him up to the limb of tree, all in
fun, but it came near being the end
of the little negro. for when he was
rescued by his mother, it took over
an honr's work to bring him around
again.

Last Of the Soothsayers. 5

The decline in the credit and honor
of soothsaying dates in consider
able measure, perhaps, from GER
tain performance of John Galeazzo,
Duke of Milan. He had a sooth-
sayer. One day the reader of the
stars came to him and said:
"My lord. make haste to arrange
your earthly affairs.
"And why shall / do that2" asked
the duke.
Because the stars tell me that
you have not long to live"
"Indeedl And what do tho stars
tell you about your own lease of
life?" asked Duke John.
"Thcy promise me many years
more of life"
"They dor"
$50 1 have read thOm, my lord
"well, then" said the duke, sit
appears that the stars know very
little about these things, for you
will be hanged within half an hourI'
he sent the soothsayer to tho
gallows with promptness, and lived
many years afterward himself.
Star-reading fell into disuse in
Milan from that time.

That we should do lovely things,
not dream of them all day long.
That when the question is legally
settled that women may vote, they

That he who does not find other

che Coming Day.

A better day is coming, girls.
just wait little longer.
Its morning breeze now sweeps the trees,
Its light is growing stronger.
The car of progress rushes on.
Fresh spoils of conquest bringing,
And on the higher planes of life
The birds of hopeare singing.
HarkI On the zephyrs of the west
A strong. new sound Is swellingl
OF equal rights and juster laws
Its stirring notes are telling.
Blind prejudice and hoary wrongs
Are swiftly disappearing,
And woman. pleading for her own,
Commands respectful hearing.
Through storms Of ridicule and scorn
They bore their cause undaunted
Till through the land, from shore to shore
Its burning truths are planted.
Their light is shining brightly, girls.
Each year tits growing stronger.
Truth must prevail and error fall
Just wait q little longer.

Thus said the queen of snowflakes in their con-

When they resolved, their might to prove, all
from on high to fall
They came in great battalions; they fell for
days two. three;
dale and lea,
And then they rudely froiicked with northern
wind SO bold,
who roughly tumbled, drifting high in every
track and void.
Twas thus the mighty steam horse. upon his

Could not his burden pull ahead or even push
It back.
The fragile, tiny snownakes thus proved their
might and power
By stopping tratiic's iron horse for many .
