this great mineral of our State,
whose production now amounts
to many million tons annually
and is rapidly increasing.
AS an agricultural State we do
not claim high rank for West
Virginia, but within her borders
are found some of the best farms
and most prosperous farmers IN
the United States The great
central part of the State is hilly.
and in fact mountainous, but
upon the tops of these mountains
are great plains or tablelands
hundreds of miles in extent.
whose soil in productiveness is
equal to that of the alluvial lands
of the Mississippi Valley. Along
the great Ohio river front, near.
ly four hundred miles in extent.
are beautiful farms unsurpassed
for proouctiveness in any part of
our country. Cattle and sheep
raising have been profitable en-
terprises in our State.
Her social advantages and min
eral springs, her loveable mount.
ain resorts with their invigorat-
ing mountain air, are known IN
the most remote sections in our
country. White Sulphur and
Berkeley Springs have for many
years. each season, been the
center of the great social sum.
mer gatherings, while Deer Park,
Oakland and other resorts have
also been crowded by persons
seeking the benefit of their splen.

air. The great advantages OF
the State of West Virginia as a
location in which to invest sur.

amid pleasant surroundings and
good society is unsurpassed, 1
believe. by any section of our
country, north or south. and with
that hospitality characteristic of
the south we welcome within her
borders all industrious and law
abiding people.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Sept. g.
Six towns wiped out and more

by the forest fires in this State
IN the last twenty four hours. In
Hinckley, Sandstone, Pokegama,
Junction, Skunk Lake and Mis-.

dead. In addition several hund.

to 200 people are scattered on
farms throughout the district

was complete in most of the
towns named, but. some of the
forest lands escaped. The loss,
however, will be in the millions
and the loss of life will not be
definitely known for several days,
if ever. The relief trains

Listen sinner. will you listen
While make one more appeal!
Would with tears your eyes might glisteI
Would to God your heart might feel;
You viii too ere long be dying,
Soon well mourn you from the earth,
And your cold form will be lying
Meath the green sod and the turf.
But the grave is not the ending,
Sin will kill beyond the tomb.
Oh. what awful horrors pending
In those words the sinners doom;
God has traced it with His fingers,
Jesus said it should be so,
He who lives and dies a sinner
Must endure eternal woe.
You have had the Bible warning,
You have had the spirit too,
Ever since life's early morning,
It has strove and plead with you,
Many times the tear drops glisten.
Many times your heart will melt,
To the story you have listened
OF the pangs your Savior felt.
But the Bible you have sighted
And the spirit turned away,
And refused though oft invited
To improve the gracious day.
Oh how hard your heart is getting,
Oh! how sad your state today.
Friend, your star of hope is setting,
Haste to Christ without delay.

| Between the dinner that Wilson ate
in London and the dinners workingmen
haven't eaten in this country, the DEM
ocratic party finds itself dinner for the
buzzards.
Two flies have dropped into Colorado g
cup of happiness. Waite denies that he
is going to leave the state, and the later
returns show that LATE Pence is re-
elected to congress.
The official vote in the Ashland dis
trict shows that Owens is elected by a
small plurality. This vindicates Miss
Pollard, but does not place her in pos
session of that $4,000.
As David Overmyer is the only leader
who made speeches against woman suf-
frage, it is suggested that he be allowed
the credit for its defeat. If Governor
Eskridge and Colonel Marsh Murdoch
enter no objections it may be as well to
let it 60 at that.
Among the first fruits of the redemp-
ton of Kansas from the control of the
Populist wreckers is the restoration of
the credit of the state abroad. The rep
resentatives of large financial insti-
tuition of the East have received instruc-
tons that hereafter they are to purchase
the bonds of any city in the state. Since
the Populist came into power with their
threats of cOnfiscatiOn against invested
capital it has been the rule of this in
stitution, as well as others dong bus
mess in the state, to buy only the bonds
of cities of the first class.
Kansas Republicans gave the women
and school suffrage, and the
women should have trusted them for
further favors. Coquetting with the
POpulists was a sad mistake.
Jerry Simpson, will probably come out
of congress with more saved salary than
