We desire to say that all Caskets,
sold by us are made of hard wood,
and are so manufactured as to adj
nit of full inspection; and where we
sell cedar casket, we will warrant
it all Florida or Tennessee red &C.

wood of the Pacific coast, and which
is sometimes called red cedar, to de-

also guarantee our prices as low for
the same class of goods as they can
be furnished by any firm in the bus

A Dose of Shot is WHAT They Need.

Scoundrels wentinto Frank Dash
ner's melon patch, situated on c. c.
MiIler's farm, the other night and
pulled off a lot of green melons and
cut them up, besides destroying a
number of vines. There is entirely
too much of this dirty work going
on around here, and it should be
looked into and stopped. There is
no punishment too severe for such
fellows. A load of buckshot might
have a good effect. We also hear
complaints ofsuch outrages on other
melon patches in different parts of
the county. What pleasure a man
or boy can find in destroying and
injuring other peoples property, is
more than we can understand.

The Storm of Saturday Was the Worst
That las Visited us for Years.

/ SUI IA VI tJANuAnal w tAo WI
That has Visited us for Years.
A violent wind and hail storm
struck this town an Henderson last
Saturday evening, and did consider
able damage
The storm was the heaviest down
along the Great Kanawha, whore il
gave vent to its fury.
The following is a summary OF
the damage dono in this place and
Henderson and to shipping:
The front wall of the old brick
house situated at the foot of Main
Street on the bank of the Kanawha,
and occupied by Chas. Bickle aud
family was blown down, and the
wall falling outward the inmates
luckily escaped injury.
The water tank of the old Furni-
turo factory was blown off and de-
molished, and the half of the roof
on the south side of the finishing
room of this property was blown off
and carried over into the Crooked
Creek bottoms, entaiIing a damage
of several hundred dollars.
A tree was blown over onto the
house occupied by Pete McDade,
and the roof was considerably dam
aged.
Fruit and shade trees all along tho
Kanawha were either blown down
or badly twisted and damaged.
The docks stood the storm well,
and but little damage was done to
them except the parting of chains
and lines.
HENDERSON.
Over in Henderson the storm was
particularly severe. The roof of
the large barn on the late Maj
Smith farm was blown off.
The orchard of ]. L. Hutchinson

being blown down, causing heavy
loss to the owner.
A house belonging TO a Mr.. Fin
ney was blown completely over

only two escaped the fury of the
storm.
Capt. Jas. Darsts pump boat was

she has several others of prominence

undertakes anything of this kind,
unless she makes it a success. She
has often sung for our churches and
lodges, and social gatherings, with

of Music, that she may cultivate her
voice still much better, and has
adopted this plan, to acquire means

great service in rendering her sweet

Oil in Mason.

Some days ago it was all excite
ment in this county about oil, and
innumerable leases were secured
throughout the county, and in many
cases the parties leasing lands were
required by special provision in the
contract to put down wells to test
whether there was oil in the locali-
ties or not. No preparations are
being made anywhere, that we have
heard of to commence work on wells.
1t looks now, that the oil men hav-
ing got what they were after, the
leases, have deserted the county
altogether. We have warned our
land owners against these fellows
who were "wild cat ing" to be on
their guard against them, and to
give leases only to men whom they
had the utmost confidence in, to do
and perform what they promised
and contracted to do. But it seems
our advice was not needed, only in
few instances, and comparative
strangers have come in and gotten
a majority of the oil leases. We
may be a little severe in our com.
ments, but it looks that way to us
We hope, however, we are mistaken
and that these men will soon com
mencc work to develop the oil fields
of this county.

Judge Henry y. Hedges, the leading orator OF

to ex-Con gressman Henry A. Reeves. OF Greenport,
in which he says:
The people have right to the Sabbath When
their rights assailed. they may well inquire by
what authority. animated by what motives, TO ac-
complish what ends is the assailant moved to act;
Think not you can escape the inquest. The good
citizens of New-York city, irrespective OF party and
including the best OF all parties have achieved a
triumphant deliverance from corrupt conspiracy
based on the vices and selhshness OF mankind. The
work thus noby begun should speed forward until
every corrupt ring In this fair lard Is overthrown,
until authority ceases to shield vice and persecute
virtue, until official position Is conferred to ad-
vance the public welfare and not to reward cor
rupt partisan politicians. II the hopes OF this Re-
public are built on the changing platforms OF party
spirit on greed for office. the augmented oppor-
tiinities for dram-drinking, the desecration of
