Bad Negroes Engage in n Lively
Scrape on the Streets.


Sunday evening just about dark,
John Thomas and Wild Skinner,
bad negroes, met Web Freese, a
negro from Huntington, on the
street near Kerwood's corner, and
without word of warming assault
ed him. Thomas pulled out re-
volyer and told him he was going
to shoot him. Freese thereupon
knocked Thomas down and got on
top of him and pinned him to the
ground, when Thomas called to
Skinner to shoot Freese, which
Skinner did by pulling his revol-
yer and shooting him in the back
just to the right of the spine, max
ing a very ugly wound. The
wounded man was taken to DIR.
Mossman's office, who probed for
the bullet, but could not locate it,
The Doctor thinks the bullet fol
lowed a rib and then dropped into
the abdominal cavity. Freese is
in pretty bad condition this
morning. He may recover, but it
is doubtful. The wounded man
was a hod carrier at the power
house of the Point Pleasant Water
and Light Company, and is said.
to be an inoffensive man. Skinner
was arrested last night and placed
in Jail. Tho mas eluded the officers
and escaped to Ohio.

During the winter of 1897, Mr..
Jas. Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants, of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck his leg against
cake of ice in such a manner as
to bruise it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him
SO badly that he could not walk
without the aid of orutohes. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two
and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought
almost complete cure in u weeks
time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain
Balm is unequaled for sprains,

formerly owned and operated by
Capt. John L.. Charles. The new
firm have overhauled the mill and
put in improved rollers, and are

Messrs. Pondexter are determined
to maintain this former good repu-
tation of the mill A speciality will
be custom work for the farmers.
This is something that has long
been needed here, and the farmers
should appreciate it by giving the
mill their patronage when they
have grain to make -four or meal,
or feed to grind. Mr.. j. M. Muir
ply is the miller in charge, and all
know that he is counted amongst
the best millers in the country.

Enemy or FriendY

Some young people going to
school, who are old enough to know
better, think that their teacher is
an enemy-a person who imposes
upon them, who forces them to
study, who Furnishes them for
wasting away their time. Then
try to get the better of that enemy
by deceit-by having some one
else to do their tasks for them, by
getting excused on tales of sickness
How foolish they are in their
smartness.
The teacher is there to help
them get an education, to aid, to
explain, to show the way, to set the
example.
His work is done when their
work is done. If they neglect his
lessons, the loss is theirs. If they
play truant, the loss is theirs. If
they deceive him by looking at
