A new commandment is abroad
in the land, says an exchange:
"Thou shalt not hear an unkind
story so long as thou has heels to
turn on or hands to cover thine
ears" IF all those who peddle IN
kind words concerning other peo-
pie were treated in this manner,
the peddler would have to go out
of business and people would get
a rest.

What do they do in heIi9
About go. 600 bushels Of coal

About z5O,U0O bushels or coal
passed here yesterday morning on
its way out of the Kanawha. The
coal filed twenty barges. which
were taken out in tow of the Annie
L., D. T. Lane, Murdoch, w. M.
Calderwood, and several other tow
boats. The barges were left near
the mouth of the river, where they
viii remain until the boats return
and bring opt another tow before
the river falls too much. The
whole feet will then be taken on
down the Ohio. to Cincinnati.
There was considerable of rise
yesterday at Lock Eight, caused
partly by the rain which fell veg
terday, and partly by the drawing
of water from the pools to flush
out the coal fleets. The rain will
probably cause general rise in the
river, and thus enable all the lsrger
packets to reach here.

GREAT HARRINGTON.

Now that Mrs John Viola has present. ed to the Free Library the oil portraits of Charles W. Hopkins and wife, peo- pie. especially the young and middle aged, are en1uiring who was Charles W. Hopkins. Iu answer to this ques ton we can say that he was son of Moses and Anna Hopkins and was born in this village in l7S7. His grandfather was Rev Samuel Hopkins, first pastor of the Congregational Church in this town. Moses Hopkins was for 50 years registrar of deeds and for 40 years post master of the town. The son, Charles w., succeeded his father for time in these offices and in 1945 was elected to the Massachusetts Senate for the Berk- shire district. It is traditional that while at Boston with his wife he had their portraits painted. From the con- struction of the Berkshire railroad uu- til his death May 9, 1862 he was presi- dent of that line of travel. He was off, ten appointed by the Probate court as administrator or trustee of various es- tates end guardian of number of mi nor children. While on business at a neighbours he was stricken with paraly- sis and died in 24 hours. Altogether his career was highly honorable. He began life poor and died the possess or of handsome estate. His wife, who died many years ago, was Mira, a daughter of Zachariah and Hannah Fairchild, who resided on a farm in the west part of this town since annexed to Afford. Consequently she was sister of Fanny, wife of the honored poet, William Cullen Bryant. The fine DOT traits in question will be newly varnish. ed and hung on the library walls there to remain for the inspection of coming generations.
