well as z0ish it for the childa
The greatest fortune any mother can
bestow on her child is healthy body
and happy mind, and with this great
fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will. The child's stock of
health is what the mother supplies. The
weak and worried woman has a very
slender stock of health to bestow on
the baby.

To Form Another Link.

1t now seems quite certain that the
Davises will extend the West Virginia
Central railroad, from its terminus il
Randolph county, through the noun
tains to connect with the Greenbrier
River railroad at some point in Poca
hantas county. Such a connecting
link would bring the two extreme
points OF the State In close and easy
touch, and open up and develop d
vast territory rich in various kinds oil
natural resources. The completion oil
this line across the State, and the ex
tension of the G. G. & s. through tc
connect with the B. s. 0. system
will be the only two additional lines
that are likely to traverse the STATE
from north to south. They will
with the laterals that would follow,
develop the entire interior of the STATE
and bring the exhaustless timber and
mineral supplies within easy reach
These, together with the Ohio Rive
road, would make three distinct cross
lines, traversing the State from north

trunk lines now crossing the State
from east to west, completely gridiroI

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in
the civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard OF Appendix
citis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food,
regulate the action of the liver slim
ulate the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses OF Green's Au-
gust Fower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied that nothing serious is
the matter with you. Sample bottle

THANKSGIVING.
A Composition Written by SamuaI A
Kelly, Aged Years

A Composition Written by samuaI A.
Kelly, Aged7 Years.
The composition printed below was
written by little Samuel Kelly the Z
year old son of DIR. w. G. Kelly. 1t is
printed verbatim and is rather remark
able for SO small boy.
Every one knows that Thanksgiving
is religious festival, and was first
celebrated at Plymoth by the Pill
grams away back in the fall Nov. 1921.
Since 1917 the festival has been OBJ
served in many of the Eastern States,
but it was President Abraham Lin
coin in 1863, who made it national
Thanksgiving and this year Pres.
Mckinley has sent out word that we
observe the 30th of Nov 1899.
Even before America set aside a day
to give thanks the old testiment tells
us that the ancient jews held feast
Of tabernacles and celebrated the
finishing of the wheat and barley har-
vest, so there is where the pilgrams
got the plan for our Thanksgiving.
The way of keeping the day is as
follows: church service in the
morning ''big" turkey dinner and
different kind of pies and puddings
and good things to eat, also giving tc
the poor people on this occasion, and
having your friends to eat with you
and telling funny jokes, then too, the
little children play games and have a
happy time. SAMUEL A. KELLY.

ed by the Distinguished Organist.
The Methodist Episcopal church
was crowded Tuesday evening by one
of the largest audiences that we have
had at concert. Professor Simeon
Bissell, Director of the Pittsburg Con-
servatory Of Music, gave a magnifi-
cent organ recital in introducing the
big organ of the church to the Nor
gantown public. 1t was great oc-
casion. Such splendid music on an
organ has never before been heard in
this city. He is a distinguished COM
poser and has long been leading or
ganist at Pittsburg. He said he had
never seen Lyon and Healey organ
before. He praised the purity of the
tones of the instrument and said that
it was sweet and elegant, and for fine
qualities it was equal as far as its
cost permitted. to the costliest and
largest organs Of Pittsburg.
His performances on the instrument
we're superb. In several numbers
Miss Olive Pierce rendered, by his de-
sire, violin solos with great skill and
beauty of expression. Professor b.
G. Printz sang "The Holy City" with
fine effect, accompanied by Prof. Bis
sell and Miss Pierce, all of whom won
much applause. Professor Bissell's
)wn compositions were among the
oest parts of an exceptionally fine
programme The perfect control of
10Th keyboard, and all of the pedals,
oy the professor received eulogistic
comment from an audience embracing
the best culture of the city.
The selections were from the mas
terpieces of such eminent composers
as Flotow, Bellini, Schumann, Ley
bach, Adams, Wagner, Handel, Hell
er, Mascagni and Pinsuitti.
The receipts OF the evening approx
mated one hundred dollars. DR..
Ieech publicly thanked the Ladies
Aid Society on behalf Of the congrega-
ion for collecting the money to pay
or the organ without dollar of in
ebtedness. He returned the graft
ude of the congregation to the com
nittee of men who had aided the
aides in the selection of the instru-
nent, and to all who had contributed
money or good will to the enterprise.
With the enlarged choir platform,
numerous new Welsbach lights the
lew papering, ETC., the auditorium
made a fine appearance.
