Sudden Death.
Last Friday. the 9Th inst, Mrs.
Jesse Camden, an aged lady, re-
siding on the Jasper Lemaster
farm, died very suddenly of appo-
plexy.
The farmers are going to have a
busy season fighting worms and
bugs. Reports from various sections
of the county are to the effect that
the ground is swarming with cut
worms and all kinds of young
plants are being devastated. Po-
tato bugs are popping up out of
the ground by the millions, and
they make potato patch look
sick in short space of time. The
gold bugs will attend to the re-
mainder of the crops.
The Niberts and the VOLTS who
are under indictment in this coun-
ty for felony, and who had a change
of venue to Cabell county, have
skipped the State, and took up
their abode in Ohio, and if they
don't go to the penitentiary from
that State, it will be wonder.
There will be no effort to bring
them back here.
An exchange very truthfully
says: "The publisher of n news
paper is about the only business
man in town who is expected to
use his own time and hard earned
property to build up the business
of every other person in the com
munity, without charge and often
without thanks" Most publishers
have experienced that fact.
Now is the time to put the road
scrapers in use about the county,
to clean the roads of loose stone
and to deepen the bitches. This
will greatly aid in improving the
roads until we get something bet
ter. Good mecadamized roads
leading to this town would be of
incalcuable benefit, and would
boom business all the year round.
Whatever it is, make the best of
it. If your Surroundings are not
pleasant or congenial, just remem-
Der that there must be change
after while. Nothing lasts long
in this world, The cloud that
hangs SO low and looks SO dark to-
day will pass away in the morning.
Perhaps it may obscure all the
brightness for awhile, but the sun
is still shining somewhere.

Huffman, of Brighton, was allowed
a pension under act of June 18th,
1890; also the increase and original
pension due her late husband at

torney in the case.
j. Friedman & Co.'S, Buckeye"
Store at Marietta, Ohio, and
"Boston" Store at Parkersburg, are
both doing tremendous business,
much beyond that expected of
them, and our friends are elated
over the success of these stores.

ness was transacted. They adj

out has been very interesting and a
great deal of interest has been
shown.
DIED The eighteen-months-old
daughter of Mr.. Chas. Turner and
wife, of Henderson, died yesterday
morning from wllooping-cough.

the Henderson cemetery,
If we expect to make much of
this town we must get some kind
OF manufacturing establishments.
A number of small ones will be
more beneficial to the town than
a large one or two.
Business is much brisker now
