dent OF the Ohio River Railroad,
died ia Washington City, of pneu.
monia, Tuesday night, surrounded
by his devoted wife, Senator Cam
den. and other friends, The follow
ing sketch of his career We copy
from the Wheeling Register, of yes
terday;
George Western Thompson was
the son of Judge Geo W. Thomp-
son, and WAS born at his fathers
home, about mile cast of Wheel
ing, on June %, 1913. He received
a fair English education in Wheel
ing, and afterwards became a stu
dent of Washington-J efferson Col.
lege, at Washington, Pa He was
an energetic student, and improved
1is opportunities. In December,
1863. at the age of II, he went 10
Parkersburg, where he had secured
a clerical position in the Office Of
the b. g. o. Railroad. Later, he
was employed in several mercantile
houses.
In 1869, he married Miss Belle
Jackson, daughter of Gen. John jay
Jackson. His first business venture
was most successful. In partner
ship with Henry G. jackson. his
brother in law, he established &
wholesale grocery house at Park
ersbug, under the firm name Of
Thompson & Jackson, which is
still in successful operation.
AT the preliminary formation of
the Ohio River Railroad Company,
be was selected as Vice President,
which position he soon after resign
ed to become manager of the Ohio
Valley Construction Co, syndi-
cate formed to build the Ohio River
road. In 1884, when the road be-
gan operation between Wheeling

agem9nt of the construction com
pany and became identified with
the management of the railroad. In
May, 1883, be was elected President
of the Ohio River Railroad Com
pany. which position he held con
tinuously till his death.
FeI. men have shown such eapa-
billty IN executive management,
and be was popular among all class.
es with whom he came In contact.
In politics Mr.. Thompson was an
ardent Democrat, though he never
sought nor accepted any political
Office He was good party work
er, aud was always ready with his
voice aud his purse to further the
Interests and principles Of the De-
moeracy. He was q delegate to the
Democratic National Convention at
Chicago ia 1884, which nominated

FAIRvIEw SCHOOL, COOPER DIS
TRIcT. School closed February %,
with sorrow and regret. Many were
present to witness the sad depart
ure, and an interesting programe
was carried out in the evening after
which several good speeches were
made. Quite an interesting talk
was given by Gilbert McMillin, one
of the Trustees. He affirmed that
the school had been greatly improv-
ed this winter and had risen to IFS
once elevated plain.
The teacher is a young mangof
good moral character, and has few
equals and no superiors; and we are
glad to know that he has been so
successful. Indeed it brought a
pang to my heart to see the checks
of the pupils, as well as the teacher,
deny with tears. 1t brought TO
my mind the scene that took place
on the 1st of November, 1765, when
the stamp act took effect
The voico of the patrons and
pupils was come and teach our
school again next winter, Mr.
Lewis. All the praise and honor of
the elevation of the school is be
slowed upon the little giant of Beech
Hill, NJ. C. Lewis. RAB.
