which this 10000 policy was one. Al
the time of his application for II Shark
held $4,000 insurance, OF which $1,000
was in the New York Life and 5000

printed question as to what insurance
he already held he neglected to tell OF
any OF this 1000. Later he took out
two policies OF $4,000 each and In his
application Tor them made similar sup

DENTON SEASON.
Reasons Why It and Ember Days Are
Observed.

Reasons Why It and Ember Days Are
Observed.
Along with the Lenton season
which began on Wednesday, 10Th
IRE the Ember week prayers.
Among the fasts of the yeal
Lent has the first, and the Embel
days the second place. These
days of devotion and fasting were
instituted in olden times, and OBJ
served at the four seasons of the
year, chiefly for the following
reasons:
First-That Christians in theil
religious duties toward God might
let the world know through actions
that they were as devout and for
word as in olden times the Jews
were this way. They observed
four several and solemn times OF
fast in the year.
Second These times are fruit
full ones for piety, and devotion tc
Christ. BY practicing little alb
stemiousness the Christian learns
how to spend his older days in de-
votion.
Thirdly beginning these sew
eral parts of the year with n holy
righteous, and sober life, it is
thought that men are enabled tic
spend the remainder of the several
seasons accordingly.
Fourth-The continuance OF
Gods favor toward us for the fruit
of the earth is also assured.
Fifth-The observance of these
days is kept that we may recall
and repent the more seriously OF
those sins which all the seasons we
have through frailty committed.
Sixth-By imploring Gods mer-
cies our bodies may be freed from
those distemperatures which usual
ly these four seasons of the yeal
bring along with them.
Seventh-Lastly, these days were
kept by the old Church. 1t was
then the ordinary custom, and is
still by the imposition of Bishops
to give holy and sacred orders
These orders were given by Christ
and his Apostles, and come to his
successors. Although Sundays in
Lent are not observed as fast days
the devotional tone given to them
in the lessons, litany and Gospels
is closely nssimulnted TO that of the
season, and constant memorial OF
it is kept up.

PAID UP STOCK TAXED.
That building Association Tax Ques-
ton Mt Last Settled.

The Building Association tax
question was settled to-day by the
county court. The three associa-
tions petitioned for an abatement
on assessment some time ago
The matter has been hanging fire
for a lengthy period.
The test case was made on the
Traders Building Association. That
association was originally assessed
at $549,52 The decision of the
court is to assess the paid up stock
and the furniture, which in the
case of the Traders amount to
$165, 800 and S490-total $166, 800
According to the decision that as
ISOLATION will be assessed that
amount.
In their case the abatement al
lowed was 1888, 135.
The decision in nut shell
amounts to this-each association
will be assessed on it's paid up
stock and the amount of the furni-
ture and Office equipment added
to it.
The decision is highly i'm
portant one.-Parkersburg State
journal.
The following is taken from the
report of the Directors of the West
Virginia Penitentiary:
"The number of convicts that
have been received since the for.
nation of the State is 1887. The
present population is 454. Dur
ing the month of January the
cost of feeding the convicts was s
cents per day per capita"
The citizens of Keyser have per
footed an organization for the pur-
pose of inducing the investment OF
capital enterprises at that place
We suggest that the citizens OF
Point Pleasant organize for the
same purposes.
