WHY do tens of thousands of women

telling their most secret Thoughts,
Because they know that their letters

onened, read, and answered by woman,
who as woman has made woman's ills
a life study, and because she never fails

Confederate Home.

There was an interesting meeting of
the Pocahontas Camp of Confederate
Veterans at Marlinton on the 18th, Col.
A. &. l.. Gatewood, Commander, presid-
ing. The object of the meeting was to
consider the proposition made to the
Confederate Camps Of the State, look
ing to the purchase of the hotel prop
erty at Kanawha City for a Confederate
Home. Speeches were made by Col.
Gatewood, Capt. S. B. Hannah and
Lieut.. Geo. w. Siple, after which Judge
Campbell, Senator Jones, of Highland,
and Thos. H Dennis, OF Lewisburg, all
Of whom were present, were called upon
for an expression of their views Of the
proposition in question. Senator Jones
advised the Confederates of this State
to build u cottage on the Lee Camp
grounds, at Richmond, where our old
soldiers could be economically provided
for and where they would enjoy many
advantages they could not hope to haye
in new home established in this State.
Judge Campbell and Mr.. Dennis, whilst
in hearty sympathy with the general oh
ject in view, thought it unwise to pur-
chase the Kanawha City property, or to
attempt to establish a Confederate
Home in this State, until the necessity
for one had been shown and until some
practicable plan for it's maintenance
and support, when once established,
had been proposed.

Thieves and Robbers.

Since some time in August last
Green & Bready, confectioners and gro
GERS here. had suspected some one of
pilfering their Store at night. They
concluded to watch for the thief
About O'Clock last Friday night La
mar Bready and John Cox, who had
been sitting up for the purpose, slipped
in at the front door and found Porter
Early, a colored boy of about II years,
standing in the floor. or course they
secured him and soon had him in Jail.
The next day they had Tom Perkins,
Henry James, Will Lewis, Henry Lacy
and William Francis, all colored, ar
rested, and. along with Early, these
parties were arraigned before Hennie
Bell, Mayor pro tenn. After hearing
the evidence the Mayor held Early,
Francis and Lacy to answer indict-
ments, whilst Perkins, Lewis and
James were discharged. LOWS, how
ever, is still in Jail on another charge.
1t appeared that these boys had rented
the room above the Store where they
had been in the habit of assembling at
night to shoot craps. They got into
the Store by means of trap door over
one of the back rooms, though 1T was
shown that Lacy had in his possession
key that opened the front door. -
There can be no doubt that they are
the parties who have been robbIng the
Store since August.

Another Fatal Accident.

On Tuesday, Otis Reaburn, son of
Mr.. William Reaburn, who lives near
Hillsdale, Monroe county, came to
Ronceyerte with his mother, intending
to join the excursion that left for Gin
cinnati yesterday morning. His father
was east, and was expected on the train
Tuesday night. The son concluded to
go to White Sulphur to meet his father.
Arriving there he found that the train
bis father was on did not stop at the
White. He then boarded freight
train to return to Ronceverte. AS the
train was nearing the station he asked
brakeman if 1t stopped and upon re-
celvlng negative reply he and young
man who was with him jumped. Rea-
burn was drawn under the train in some
way and his leg crushed from his hip to
his knee. All the efforts of skillful sur
geons are being used and this morning
he Is still alive. The brakeman who
wantonly caused the sad casualty will
probably forever regret his thoughtless
remark--but Is regret" sufficient
punishment The train did stop at
Ronceverte as all. trains DO, and as the
brakeman must have known.
