CHASTISED
HIS WIFE.
Charge Made Against
Town Clerk Wood.
HARRINGTON IS PANIED.
Accused Husband TO Be Tried by a
Church tribunal.
HARRINGTON IS PANIED.
WIFE WILL SEEK SEPARATION.

The good people OF Harrington have
been greatly panied by domestic drama
which has been enacted in their midst
this fall and they are deeply distressed
because the affair has reached that state
that much publicity must be given it
through formal trial before a church
tribunal
Waen Town Clerk Mark H. Wood took
unto himself helpmate about two years
ago. that not being his first venture in
matrimony IL was understood that his
wife was all that man could desire. She
was near the meridian of life, but she
was comelv and oompanionable.
Mr.. Woods social position together
with his long tenure of Office which had
been upward Of quarter of century,
gave his wife entree To the best society of
Bristol county. With her husband she at
tended the ola white Congregational
church and was welcomed by the good
brothers and sisters.
Everything was progressing smoothly
as all supposed, when Sister Wood sud
denly became cold towarC. her friends.
This GOODNESS became in a short time an
apparent dislike to continue on speaking
terms with them. for she cut them dead
when they sought TO bow To her, and the
pastor was no exception.
Inls peculiar ana lneXpllcapIe conduct
continued until somebody made "A move
TO ascertain what was the cause of her
reyulsion of feelings toward her friends.
The inquiry was pushed by one of the
church officials To whom Sister Wood re
uctantly explained that whatever she
had done TO injure her friends feelings
was due to the instructions given her by
her husband.
The latter, 1t is alleged BY the wife,
learning that she had given the explana-
tion, chastised her. The method of pun
ishnent, Mrs Wood says. wounded her
dignity as we'll AS her body.
Sister Wood objected and so vocifer-
ously that she says her husband at
tempted to stifle her cries while he cou-
tinued his physical protest, lest the
neighbors should ieel 1t incumbent upon
them To seek for another X nlanation.
This affair could not be epj quiet, and
as tho townsfo,k gossiped over the de-
tails, the story at last reached the ears of
the church officials. Brother Wood is
claimed TO have denied his wifes allega-
tioDs o. cruel treatment, and then To have
admitted that he did chastise her.
Because of this conduct, and because of
a charge OF prevarication which has been
made against him, Brother Wood will ap-
pear before the church tribunal next week
and defend Eimself against the same.
In the meantime Mrs. Wood is looking
for legal separation. Mr.. Wood has
been an exemplary town officer. He has
said, TO friend thai the trouble was
that his wife was not all right mentally.
This was in explanation of the charges
she had made and which are to be the
basis OF the church inquiry.

uplands of the State are distributed among
the counties of Pendleton. Pocahontas
and Randolph The following are afew
of the highest elevations of that segion,
although many more about 1000 feet in
height might be named:

The foregoing facts show very large
area Of our State lies at the comparative
ly high level of more than 1000 feet
above the sea. Above this farming OPP
erations became very limited, and what
ever may have been the case while the
soil was new, the business of this region
will ultimately become reduced to three
principal pursuits, forestry. grazing and
mining
Apples, however, thrive admirably in
all these upland. counties and more at
tention should be given to their culture
The largest production of the various
cereal crops in West Virginia is clearly
explained by the topography of our State.
Thus the counties producing the largest
amounts of corn are in order as follows:
Wayne, Jefferson, Berkeley and Mason.
The elevation of these four counties is
the lowest of any four counties in the
State
The counties producing the largest
amounts of wheat are Jefferson, Berkeley,
Marshall and Mason This is evidently
due to the low elevation of the counties
and consequently their high temperature.
The principal production of rye is dis
tribnted as follows: Hampshire, Nor
gan, Hardy and Pendleton.
Almost all the buckwheat in the State
is raised in Preston, Hampshire, Pendle-
ton Pocahontas and Tucker.
Thus does nature determine what crops
man shall sowin each topographic district
and in each upland zore.
