A PRESENTATION TO CHRIST CHURCH. John Close had large crayon portrait of Rev w. B. Dunlap, former rector of Christ church, enlarged from a photo graph. Though prizing it highly as a memorial of his friend and former pas Cor he has thought iS most fitting that it should have place in the church which he was so instrumental in renovating and beautifying. Accordingly it will hang in the vestry room of the church as memorial of faithful and beloved pas tor. It was chiefly through his untiring efforts that the money was raised to renovate the church, though due credit should be given to Rev G. M. Wilkins and Mrs Johnson for the valuable assis- tance they afforded in bringing about the grand result. All three of these faithful ones will ever be held in grate- ful rememberance by Christ church par ish. It would be most desirable thing If the portrait of Rev G. M. Wilkins and Mrs Johnson could hang beside that of
 MT Dunlap. The crayon portrait of MT Dunlap was obtained through H. G Chase of Lyons Plains, agent of Chicago firm who have done some very fine work for parties here.

A Gun that Did Service at the Rattle OF

Charleston Tribune.
4 relic OF great historical value is on
exhibition at the rooms of the State
Historical Society in the State House in
this city. 1t is the gun OF Daniel Boone.
1t has been in the family IF Nathan
Boone Van Bibber, back in the wilds of
Nicholas County. The stock aud barrel
apeIfve feet four inches long; it carries
an ounce ball; has the original flint lock
and is still a good shooter. The gun
WAS given by Boone to his friend, Mathi-
as Tice Van Bibber, who carried il and
did good execution at the battle OF Point
Pleasant in October, IVA. He carried
it on hunting and trapping trips as far
west as the Ossge river and throughout
the war of 1872. The original powder
horn and bullet molds are with the gun;
also, very old shot pouch, pocket
compass with a sun dial attachment.
and a steel spearpointed needle for fix
ing buffalo hides to dry, together with
a tally stick and part OF his COM
mission as a captain in the war of
1912, and an old, well-worn butcher
knife which belonged to Isaac Van
Bibber, whowaskilled at Point Pleasant,
When he was found, nine Indian
scalps, raised by this knife. were in his
pouch. Tice used the knife rs long as
he lived. At his death Matthias Van
BibI er left these relics to Captain c. R.
Van Bibber, the first white child born
in Nicholas county, and at his death,
few years ago, they were left to his son,
Nathan Boone Van Bibber, the psesent
owner. When David C. r. Van Bibber,
was four years old his mother gave him
a set Of metal buttons for his first pair
OF breCches. He wore no other buttons
for eighty-six years, and they have been
placed with the gun ard other trophies

Owing to the fraiIty Of humanity there
is a tendency to talk and think about bad
rather than good news. But notwith-
standing the sinfulness of man, there is
much good about which we may talk.
Man is possessed OF much virtue and
happiness. We have many excellen-
eies, and are worth far more confidence
and affection than we get from each
other. The worst man has some good
in him, and it is proper and right that
the good o. every mans life be told
We are encouraged to do good by learn
ing of the good that our neighbors are
doing. It should be the principle OF
man to talk about their good rather
than their evil. We may talk OF evil
with 4 view to cure it, if so. it is all
right. But If we talk Of it as 4 scandal.
as bad news that we love to peddle. it
Is decidedly detrimental to US. 1t is Of
first Importance that good news may
be told. The telling Of bad news is not
calculated to elevate either ourselves or
the parties talked about Certainly the
telling of bad news Is not pleasant, and
it does not increase cur happiness to
bear it. Those who gives so much at
tention to the mistakes, misfortunes
and blunders common to nan, certain
do not think how much more pleasant
and beneficial it would be to recognize
their good traits
We can easily cultivate a taste for
good or for bad news. Ii taste for
bad things Is formed by much talk OF
them, such things will be required in
our reading A taste for unwholesome
subjects OF thought and conversation de
mands papers and books OF that kind.
There Is a great demand for such read
ing matter; and we are sorry to say,
there IS a supply equal to the demand.
More good and less bad news should
be talked about. Hold your tongue OF
say something good. Let the home be
always cherry with good news Better
tastes will then lie formed and a grenter
love for good be established in the
minds OF both young and old

That one familiar step had passed
Out OF her life forever.

She knew heart was broken.

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 10 of silver to of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of a European syndicate and for bride
money, "giving aid and comfort to
our country's enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
Pers for the coming season to 6nclude
