Many people are cursing the
town authorities for the big bonded
debt that has been saddled upon the
town. Their criticisms are wrong,
and our town officials are not de-
serving the censure heaped upon
them. What they did was by au-
thority of the voters, and was an
effort to better the condition of our
town. The stake was played and
lost. If we had won, then the au-
thorities would be receiving the
praises of the people. Still we
have something to show for the ex
penditure. And it may be, other
good fruit will yet spring from the
outlay. They meant right, if they
did fail.

There are some merchants who
do not seem to appreciate the value
of advertising, or else they are
afraid of the cost. Such men are
penny wise and pound foolish.
There is no better investment a
business man can make than liberal
application of printers ink. There
are others who advetise spasmodical-
Iy, just in the busy season. The
surest way in the world to make
busy seasons is by persistent and
judicous advertising. Keep your
selves and your wares before the
public all the time, in season and out
out of season. The most successful
business men are those who advertise
most literally, and those who do not
are continually worrying their wives
to put patches in the seats of their
trousers.

Our people are now beginning tc
clamor for telephone service. Our
town is getting too big to run
around to see ones neighbor, and
we must have the more modern i'm
provement of "calIing one up" to
talk with him on business and other
matters. A telephone company
would find this good field in which
to operate telephones. There is
hardly a business man in town but
would rent phone. Let us have
a telephone service.

If every citizen would speak a
good word for his town, wherever
they went, and under all circum-
stances, instead of running it down
as some do, Point Pleasant would
be the better for it, and people from
a distance would be attracted to it.
Always speak well of your town.

Judge Guthrie,s Marrow Escape.

Judge Guthrie had a narrow es
cape, Tuesday afternoon, from be,
ing run over by the K. & NJ. north
bound passenger train at Red
House. The Judge was preparing
TO board the south bound Gauley ex-
press, which was on the siding at
that point, when the other train
whistIed. 1t was hardly fifty feet
away, when unconscious of it's ap-
proach, the Judge got up on the
track and started to walk Ieisurely
to his train. A gentleman on the
platform OF the waiting passenger
train called loudly to him, but he
did not hear him until the approach
ing train was right upon him, and
and then hearing the others warn
ing cry, he jumped aside, the pilot
almost touching him, as the train
swept by him a second later and
and came to a stop just be-

The school house near Mr.. C. c..
Miller's, in Lewis district, caught
fire in the roof from defective fue,
last Thursday morning about IL
o'clock. As soon as Mrs. Meeks,
the teacher, discovered the fire she
dismissed the school, and under her
guidance the pupils began to fight
the fire, and soon had it under con-
troll. The damage was not very
great, but it is a wonder that the
pupils got it out with the facilities
they had at hand. The Board of
Education should have ladder at
every school house, and also a well
or cistern where water could be OBJ
tanned.

SUsPIcIoUs.-About noon last Sat
urday, a suspicious looking stran-
ger entered the Merchants National
Bank, and without saying a word,
went direct to the door leading to
the Presidents room, which he
found locked. Mr.. stribling, who
was alone, called to him, and asked
if he could do anything for him.
He answered that he wanted to see
Mr.. McCulloch, and left the Bank.
He loitered out in front of the bank
for some time, closely scanning ev-
eryone who entered the bank. FL
nally he left, and officer Smith was
called and put on his trail but all
trace of the fellow was lost. He
evidently intended to "touch" the
bank and no doubt would have at
tempted it if he had not been him
dered by the locked door leading
into the Presidents room.

In The CLUTeHEs.-Eyerybody
remembers Joe Bush, who used to
live on the South side of Kanawha,
a few miles from town. He was
quite character, and no one ever
gave him credit of being very
''smart," but it seems he was sharp
err than his neighbors gave him
credit for. He has been away
from this neighborhood for a num-
Der of years, and had not been heard
of until recently, when word came
that he had been picked up by
Pension Detective and landed in
Jail at Louisville, KY, for swind-
ling the government out of a PEN
sion. For the past thirteen years
be has beeu drawing a pension as
'Joe Eads," of this county, who has
been dead for many years. He per-
sonated him, got the proofs some
how, and secured the pension and
big sum in back pay, and has been
drawing the pension regularly for
the past thirteen years. Col. J. P.
R. B. Smith, DIR. W. P. Neale, and
Mr.. Paul Schools, all left for Louis
vile, Saturday night, in obedience
to summons from the q. S. Court,
as witnesses for the Government in
its prosecution of Joe Bush. From
all we can learn OF the case, Joe is
very likely to go the trip.

Hanna, Mr.. Robert YanMatre to
Miss Martha Fisher, both of w
Columbia. The groom was born
and raised in West Columbia, and
is a worthy young man, temperate
and Industrious. The bride is we'll
and favorably known, and is lady
of fine accomplishments and rare
beauty, and very popular. Well
may Robert say in the language of
the poet:
Better than gold is peaceful home.
Where all the fireside charities come;
It's the shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Made holy by mother, sister and wife.
No matter how humble that home may
or tried in sorrow by Heavens decree,
The pleasures that never were bought
or sold,
And center there are better than gold.
