brought up in our neiehboring coun-
ty of Fayette In 1852 he came to
Morgantown and became one of the
Partners in the carriage factory of
Fairchild, Lawhead q Co. in which
he remained until it was reorganiz-
ed and called the Tygard Maniac
turing Company. He was always a
careful industrious man, prompt and
honorable in all his business trans
actions and enjoyed the confidence
of all'with whom he dealt.
For about eight years Mr.. For.
dyce had been great sufferer from
kidney disease, at one time having
a very severe surgical operation per-
formed which no doubt prolonged
his life. The greater part of the
time since, he had been unable to at
tend to business. A short time ago
he spent few days with his son
John in Clarksburg, returning from
there in a very enfeebled condition,
it being apparantthat his end was
drawing near.
For more than fly years Mr.. For
dyce had been a devoted memb Der OF
the Baptist church and lived entire.
ly consistent with his profession.
His wife, three daughters and two
sons servive him, all but one son be.

Some Splendid Vehicles.

Tough Bros, the carriage makers
on Beeehurst, have their ware room
full of splendid buggies, carriages,
carts and other vehicles ready for
market They are of their own
make and of splendid material and
workmanship. Better can not be
found anywhere. And it is well
known fact that buggies of their
make will outwear the socalled cheap
buggies that are shipped here and
sold for less than good work can be
produced When you buy from
Loughs you can rely upon what they
tell you: if you buy from an unknown
and irresponsible stranger and he
swindles you there is no redress.
If you want buggy or any other
vehicle see them before buying.

DOLLIyER AND HIS SPEECHES.
Oppressed With Doubts as TO His Own
Identity.


The following telegram from
Washing ton will be of interest to
the friends of Mr.. Dolliver at his old
home here.
Representative Dolliver, who has
so often been COMPOUNDED with other
members that the question of his
personality begins to rest heavily
upon his mind and conscience.
Speaking of the matter he said To a
reporter:
81 want to know who | am. Some
time ago the Western Associated
Press printed Hepburu's speech on
pensions, crediting it to me, 1t was
good speech, and I've received q
hundred letters, | suppose, compli
menting and commanding me for the
criticisms therein made upon the
policy of the pension bureau OF
course | can't reply to them, thank
ing the writers for their good words,
and | don't want to let them know
that it isn't my speech.
"Then, at another time, the same
association carried speech | did
make, under the name of Springer,
of Illinois. He felt compelled to
repudiate it on the floor of the house.
He needn't have done so, / thought,
for it was good speech, if do say
it myself But the last mistake was
most outrageous. The American In
dustry, new publication establish
ed by that remarkable individual,
Josiah Quincy, has a whole page of
Bryan's Denver speech. introduced
with the statement that 'Dolliver's
closing words warrant reproduction
in full l don't know whe ther to
lick Bryan or join forces with him
and go and kill that editor.
Dolliver is preparing an applica-
ton for early membership in the
Universal Identification associa-
ton"

The Word "Seven, in the Bible.

The word seven seems TO be a
great number in the Bible A few
of them are: God ended his work
on the seventh day. In the seventh
month Noah's ark touched the
ground. In seven days dove was
sent out In seven days more, an
other dove was sent out. Abraham
pleaded to God seven times for So
dom. Jacob served seven years for
Rachel. And then yet seven years
more. Jacob was pursued a seven
days journey by Laban. Jacob
mourned seven days for Joseph. A
plenty of seven years and a famine
of seven years were foretold in Pha-
roah's dream, by seven fat and seven
lean beasts, and seven ears of full
and seven ears of blasted corn. On
the seventh day of the seventh
month the children of Israel tasted
seven days remained seven days
in their tents. Every seven years
the land rested. Every seventh
year the law was read to the people.
In the destruction of Jericho, seven
persons bore seven trumpets seven
days. On the seventh day they sur
rounded the walls seven times, and
at the end of the seventh round the
walls fell. Solomon was seven years
building the temple, and tasted
seven days at it's dedication. There
were seven lamps in the tabernacle.
The golden candlestick had seven
branches. Naaman washed seven
times in the river Jordan. Jobs
friends sat with him seven days and
seven nights, and offered seven bull
locks and seven rams for an atone
ment. Our Saviour spoke seven
times from the cross, on which he
hung seven hours, and after his res
direction appeared seven times. In
Revelation we read of seven church
es, seven candlesticks, seven stars,
seven plaques, seven thunders, seven
walls, seven angles, and a seven
headed monster.

Which Interests You Mosts
Waynesburg Democrat.


There are some parties who argue
for the city papers and give their
support to the same, who have not
carefully considered the claims that
the county papers have on them.
When it comes to general news, of
course, the county papers cannot
compete with the city papers. But
which really interests you the most,
the doings of the people in Texas
and elsewhere that you never heard
of, or the people with whom you are
acquainted and have been associat-
ed for yearsf Where do you learn of
the death, marriage or removal to
some far away country of your old
school mates and playmates in child
hood2 When your own dear ones
die where do you send their obitu-
aries and memoriam lines? Where
do you learn Of the doings of your
own court? If dead beats and fax
irs are abroad in the land who
warns you of your danger2 Which
anHouhSeo youI puoitC mSSoiHSo anu
church services? Where do you
learn of the sickness and accidents
and casualties of your acquaint-
ances and friends? When there are
special bargains in business works
that you can reach, where do you
find your information2 Which
stands back of, and upholds every
enterprise that builds up and bene-
fits your town and country? In
short which is your real friend that
sticketh closer than brother, some
times it is true, it may chastise you,
but father chasteneth his son be-
cause of his love. Wrong must be
rebuked, right must be upheld and
the home paper should never be ask
ed to take a second place; everyone
who can take paper at all should
take home paper. Ifyou can take
two take city paper; but that man
who will not support home paper

Granville Island.

A writer in the Pittsburg Chron-
icle Telegraph says:
Granville Island, on the Mon
ongahela river, is fast disappearing.
About 20 years ago it contained four
acres; now al. that is left of it is a
strip 20 by so feet. Grandville is
located a few miles this side of Nor
gantown, W. Va, and the island is
one of the historic attractions of the
upper Monongahela Valley. The
writer made trip up the Mononga-
hela recently with Capt. BOUCHER, of
the steamer Adam Jacobs. Capt.
BOUCHER is what you might call a
'.jolly old tar" for he has travelled
the Monongahela river for more
than so years, long before the slack
water system was dreamed of.
Capt.Boughner has floated many a
keel boat. He knows every inch Of
the way between here and the quaint
old town of Morgantown. When the
island Of Granville was sighted he
commenced to narrate an interest
ing story about it's early history. II
can remember" said he, "when that
island contained four of the prettiest
acres of ground that was ever looked
upon by man. 1t is wonderful how
that piece of ground has dropped
out of sight. Many years ago the
island was planted in corn. What
has caused it to disappear? Why,
the slackwater system is RESPONSE
BILE for its disappearance Since the
government built Locks 8 and 9 the
water has naturally been damned to
good navigable stage. The fall Of
the Monongahela river is very great
at this particular point. Naturally,
in times of high water, there is a
very swift current. When the banks
overflow portion Of the island al
ways goes. 1t will only take few
more big rises to carry the balance
of the island away"
The island has been great OBJ
struction of late. A short time ago
i during high stage Of water, barge
broke loose from some point above
| 1t floated on with the swift current
but when the island was reached tbs
barge straddled itsnd part Of IL 4
