The latter part Of last week Supt.

ice for next summers use. He put
up several hundred tons of good,
marketable ice. On Monday two cars
Of ice were shipped to George War

w. r. Johnson came up from
Friendsville on Friday to visit his
family for few days. He returned
Monday.
The cold wave struck us Sunday
night. Monday morning at eight
o'clock the thermometer registered 10
degrees below zero. The wind was
blowing at such rate that the men
were compelled to give up ice cutting
on the lake until after dinner. All
day Sunday snow fell.

The kingwood Journal of last week
contained the following:
There really ought to be a change
made in the telephone central office
at Oakland. 1t is one of the hardest
matters on earth to get an answer
from Oakland and when the call is
answered the man who answers it is
as dumb as an oyster. You can ask
him about a shipment of sheep skins
and he will usually answer something
relative to cof1ins, burial robes, ten-pin
balls or poker chips and the effect is
somewhat annoying to say the least.
Oakland is a very important point on
the line as it commands communica-
tion with Mt. Lake Park, Webers,
Deer Park and many other points,
and the company would do well to
locate the Office at some place where
dead men, wooden men, burial robes,
ten-pins and poker chips are not
thought 50 much of.

To the Editor of The Hepubli can.
The article on Bible Peculiarities"

is one that is very unreliable, and we
would suggest to your contributor,
who claims to have made the re
searches and calculations himself, to
try and give Us something more cor
rect. | give him credit for having
more patience than ! to count the
letters, the words, the chapters, etc.,
and of that part will not have any
thing to say whether correct or not,
but if it is not any more reliable than
the rest of the contribution, it is to
say the least, very incorrect. He tells
MS that the word boys" occurs but
once We find it twice-Genesis 25th
chapter, 97th verse and Hachariah
Sth chapter 5th verse. he SAYS the
word governor occurs but once, vet
| find it tifty-two times, while ''g0v-
ernorS'' is found twenty times. The
word slaves" is not found in the ref
erence given, but in Revelation 1913.
We are told that the word wax" oc-
ours but once. We find it eight times
Psalms 22-14, G7-2, 97-5, Micah IA.
Job 14-S, SIT, 2 Timothy 3-13, Heb
rews III. The word ice occurs
three times instead of but once-Job
6-1G, $500, Psalms HALT. Snow water
is found twice instead of on once, as
stated, in Job $50, again in 24-19.
"Appletree" he tells us is found only
once; you will find it SolOmOn's Song
2-3, S-5, Joel 1-12. He says that
''wine-presso is found but once, yet |
have found it eighteen times. wine
bibber," which we are told occurs but
once, is found in the Bible twice
Matt 11-19 and Luke 7-34, and is not
found in the reference which your
contributor gives, Prov. 1920, which
reads, "Be not among winebibbers,
among riotous eaters of flesh;' verse
21 adds, 'for the drunkard and glut-
ton shall come to poverty and drow-
siness shall clothe u man with rags" ."

warrant was issued by Justice Hill, of
Terra Alta, for J. Lewis Guseman, for
forging John Vanworth's name to

in a coal bank. Guseman confessed
his crime and was placed in the King

Legislation for Miners,

For a number of sessions of the West
Virginia Legislature, efforts have been
made to enact laws providing for the
weighing of coal before it is screened;
to abolish company stores and to pre-
vent the payment of miners in script.
Laws on each of these subjects have
heretofore been inactive as they have
been invariably been held unconstitu-
tiOnal in the courts. The present
Legislature is beginning to wrestle
with the matter again and while as
heretofore, that body seems anxious
to have such laws, the great difficulty
appears in so constructing them as to
stand the test of the courts.

on the inside cover of the book is pastel

as almost priceless was not discovered
until some time after the book was re-

the books history. no record being kept
OF those from whom books are received at

with HIM. that the signature is that of
the wife of the great southern leader 1t
is the intention of Mr.. Bailey to take good
care of the book, and he will not allow IL
TO go into the library for which Il was
donated, for fear that il might become
lost. He has shown IL to a number OF peo-
pie, nearly all of whom have asked him TO
present them with il, but all have met
with refusals. The fact that the book was
at one time i'm the possession of Mrs Lee
makes il, in MIR. Bailey's estimation too
valuable to part with.
