For Cleveland When the News Was

The death of Rev. j. Wesley Webb,
at Huntington, recalls little incl

land Blaine campaign of 1884, the
Rev. Mr.. Webb, who was a staunch
Democrat, took an active part On
the day of the election the West Vir-
ginia Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church was holding its ses-
sion, in Wheeling. At the night
session, when the news came that
Blaine was elected one of the dele
gates proposed that the long metre
doxology be sung, and the whole
gathering with the exception of Rev.
Webb, Joined in the singing.
Later in the evening, as everyone
will remember, the news flashed over
the wires that Cleveland was to be
the next President, and soon whisper
Hogs of displeasing nature were GO

Rev. Webb received the news, it was
in the form of telegram from east
ern friends and when the opportun-
ity presented itself, he arose and
made the announcement, and asked
that all join in singing the long metre
doxology. No one came to his assist
anee and he sang the praises to God
entirely alone, the large gathering
being seemingly paralyzed during the
proceedings.

Always Begin In ApriI--A Curious His
Ierieal Fact brought Out.

The Enquirer Almanac shows that
every war in America began in April
The real beginning of the intercol-
lonial war was April II, 1854. when
the French troops took Che stockade
from the English, which was located
at the present site Of Pittsburgh
Penn.
The first blood in the Revolution
airy War was spilled on the commons
in front of Lexington, where 1870 colo
nists under the command OF Captain
Parker intercepted ] 800 Englishmen
under Pitcairn as they proceeded on
their march from Concord. The Eng
fish shot down IL of the colonists.
This occurred on April 10, 1875.
In 1912 war was not declared I'M
til June 5, but every man who took
part in the passage OF the embargo
act knew full well that when he vo-
ted for the act he voted war against
England. That embargo act was en-
acted on April 4, 1872
The Black Hawk war began April
81, 1881, and April "a, 1916, the
Mexican war was started. On April
10, 1861. just 6s years after the open
ing OF the revolutionary war to day,
the first blood in civil war was shed
in the streets of Baltimore. True, Fl.
Sumter was fired upon April -, and
the United States troops had been at
tackled at Harper's Ferry. but his
torians tell us that, strange to say,
no blood was spilled at either OF the
first two points-but they also hap
pened in April.
The first blood Ia the two most inn
portant wars-the Revolutionary and
the Civil wars-was shed on the 10th
the same day Of the month. 1t
is needless to remark that the Stars
and Stripes have already come out
ahead

THE FLAGS RECEIVED.

The weather flags which were
promised by the department have

the people of the town can now know
what weather to expect by look
ing at the flags These will be dis
played on the flag staff at the mu-
nicipal hall and will be run up by
the sergeant.
A full set OF the flags were sent.
The need of these have been felt for
long time in fact ever since the old
ones were worn out but until now no
one was sufficiently interested to ask
for them Captain Miller some
weeks ago wrote to the authorities
at Parkersburg for the flags and told
the men in charge how we were fix
ed. In few days he got reply
saying that they would be sent in a
day or so and they have now been
received. Hereafter every one can
find out what the weather is likely
to be every day
