We desire, through the Register,
to return our grateful thanks to the
good people of Point Pleasant for
their kindness to wife and mother
during her long illness, resulting
in her death. We cannot find
words to express our gratitude to
the kind friends for their kindness
to our dear departed one, more
than to invoke Gods blessings up
on them, and may He protect, pros
per and bless them, is our prayer.

The Summer School taught by

The Summer School taught by
Profs. Riggs and Steenbergen is
getting along nicely, But still,
there are a large number of child
rem in town, who should be in this
school. It would be better than
running the streets. The tuition
is very low, and the teachers have
the time to devote to each individ-
ual pupil. All young people
should avail themselves of this op-
portunity, and attend school where
they can review and study just
what they need most to fit them
for the business of life.

a neighboring town is indicated by
the fact that on Sunday evening
the pastor of one of the churches
there preached sermon on the
subject of Good Roads and large

After finishing with the worldly
side of his subject he concluded:
A safe example of the good road is
the straight and narrow path. All

admit this. If heaven is above
then it must be an elevated road
that leads to it, and we have got to

Now, the old maximum "that the
chickens will fly home to roost" is
being verified. Thousands and
thousands of them are losing their
jobs and they are turned out with
nothing to do. The firms they
represented are joining the trusts
and have no longer any use for
their salesmen. These mon are
simply left out in the cold
and the trusts and combines
are reaping their reward. It is to
be hoped that these people will
not be hoodwinked into voting
against their interests and their
party again. Let them rise up in
