walls 10 times higher than the highest
building. You will find water falls leap
ing from vertical cliffs is times higher
than Niagara. You will see mountain
parks studded with every variety of for
estttree and Towering shrub. You will see
laundering torrents, roaring cataracts,
beautiful lakes, inspiring skies, brilliant
rainbows, a wealth of ferns and plant
beauty, and all the birds of the air burst
ing their very Threats in song for the
pure ecstacy of living.
THE TRIP HAS NO hARDSHIPS.
You go in luxurious sleeping-car to
within sixty-fve miles of the valley and
the remainder of the way in comfortable
coaches over fine turnpike.

$500 for an all day trip up the difficult
trails
The side trip to the famous

Duty of Rich Men.

Senator S. b. Elleins, in his address
before the West Virginia Editorial
Association at its recent meeting. gave
expression to sensible view of the use
of riches, saying:
In all good things and in moral prog
ress the world is constantly advancing
1t is said the great Roman Empire. wnen
it controlled the world, had not hospital
within its wide borders, while hospitals.
asylums and charitable institutions are
on every side aud constantly increas-
ing in all civilized States. While it has
been the era of accumulation of vast
wealth in individual hands. yet rich men.
with gaining riches, have learned wise
lessons. They are learning that they
should largely hold their wealth in trust
for the common good, that best use to
make of it is to help their fellow man, the
weak and the unfortunate; this has come
about in obedience to the teachings of
Christianity, the general diffusion of
knowledge andsan educated self-interest.
1t is fast coming into the minds of the
rich that not only the best thing to do
with wealth is to make use of it to benefit
mankind. but the best time to do this is
in the full tide of life, when the appro-
priation of it to such purposes can be
made under the supervision of the
owners and bring them the pleasure that
follows giving and good deeds"

Mrs. Grace Watson Morrow, wife of Mr.
Joseph I. Morrow, and daughter of Mr.. T.
S. Watson. of Middleway vicinity, died at
the residence of her father on Monday even
ing last. The funeral services occurred from
the residence of the father of the deceased
on Thursday morning last at ten o'clock
The circumstances leading to the death of
the deceased are OF the most painful charac-
ter Some two months ago, while she and
her two small children were the only occu-
T'hnts of her house. in vicinity of Winches-
ter, her clothing caught fire from an open
fire. In heroic, courageous effort, she ex-
unguished the flames, and though burned
to the waist, it was thought that the injury
was not of a significantly serious character.
In short time, however, it was developed
that the burns were deeper than at first APP
peared, and since that, it has simply been a
battle between vitality and death, attended
with physical torture which was as excru-
ciating to the patient as it was narrowing to
her loved ones. Nature at last surrendered.
after prolonged struggle, and death came
as relief to patient and watchers. The de-
ceased is survived by husband and two
small children, who will mourn the loss of
the best friend Heaven ever bestows upon
mortals. OF .singularly sweet and amiable
disposition, unselfish and devoted, to the
highest inspiration OF wife and motherhood,
the vacant chair in this little home circle is
hallowed by sweet memories which will
crown it with influences time cannot dissi-
patio. Peace, sweet peace, to the gentle
spirit, which passed through the scathing
ord cal of severest torture, to Join the Falaxy
of the white ROBBED throng which surrounds
the throne. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. +. a. Strother assisted by Rev. a. j.
Willis, of the Episcopal Church and VIM.
]. Hubbard of the N. L. Church, South, and
was attended by a vast rgncourse. Every
business place in the village of MiddIeway
suspended business for the forenoon, and
the church edifice, though packed to the ut
most. could not contain the congregation.
Truly touching tribute to the life OF one
who in life was SO gentle and attractive,
and in death so deeply monrned Advocate.
