Washington Post.
Mrs. West was daughter of the
late Mrs. Agnes sehon. She was a
genial, refined and brilliant woman,
born and reared in Mason county;
she left it in early womanhood, but
often returned to visit her relatives
here for whom she ever retained
the warmest affection. She was
born October II, 1927.
wYoMA Wheat is looking
well and the prospect for a big
yield, is good.
1t looks now as if there will be a
big potato crop. The acreage of
potatoes here will be larger than
ever raised in this section before.
The health of this neighborhood
is most excellent, except we are sor-
ry to say Capt. Wood is very low.
We are glad to see the REGISTER
is advocating better roads. Ifever

Mason. GILBERT.
The steamer Sunshine struck the
wall at Knob Shoals as She was
coming out of Kanawha Sunday
From what we hear she is badly
wrecked, and it is doubtful if she
can be raised, as she lays in very
bad condition in a very swift current.
The Armstrong Bros. with their
wrecking crew are trying to raise
her. She was fully insured.
Preparations are making for the
biggest kind of a time in this place,
on the Fourth of July. Hundreds
of dollars has been subscribed by
our business men to defray the ex-
penses incident to such occasions.
There will be all kinds of amuse-
ments, and good speaking. For
particulars you should see large and
small posters that are now being
put up over the county. To miss
this grand celebration will be to
miss rare treat.
HURr.-Last Thursday, Chas. T.
Beale Jr., was riding a colt, at his
home in MERGERS Bottom, when the
animal fell, catching Mr.. Boale un-
der him, bruising him up quite
badly.
Mr.. Will Burks of this place, and
employed at Lock IL, while at work
Monday, had crib log accidently
fall on his left foot, MASKING his
toes badly. While painful injury,
it is not considered serious.
Hon. G. E. Hogg, while walking
down the aisle of a car, to get off at
this station, on his return home
from Jackson, Monday, had the
misfortune to hurt one of his knees,
which will cripple him for a few
days.
There is no good, faithful citizen,
be he ever SO poor, but will find
support sooner at his own home
than anywhere else. For this
reason that is the place for every
person to stay at the present time
if he has not money to take care of
himself elsewhere. There is no rea-
sonable excuse for men travelling
over the country in bands levying
tribute from the towns through
which they pass. Every town has
citizens to take care of, and they
will see that none suffer that are
worthy. The place for men out of
employment is with their neighbors,
who will provide them with work
or other means of support. We
know what labor is. We have tried
our hand at a great many different
kinds, and we feel that labor is not
always properly paid, yet at the
same time many an employer loses
many an hours sleep planning to
keep his business going, and be
able to pay his help. Labor can
only see their side of the question.
Many of them would feel different
could they look upon the other side
at times.
Messrs. John Greenlee and Wm.
Chambers have arranged to put up
at Eight Mile Island, on the Ohio, a
tent for the accommodation of fish
ermen, where meals and sleeping
apartments can be leased. They
will also have plenty of boats and
fishing tackle on haud. This island
is a great place for bass fishing, and
no doubt will soon become one Of
the most populor resorts along the
