the victory last fall was a more chance
and not necessarily the outcome Of the
new methods that the players and their

Maxwelps History Of Randolph County.

Mr.. HUI Maxwell has completed
his history of Randolph county and
has delivered the work to subscrib-
ers. 1t is probably Mr.. Maxwelrs
best effort and he is the author of
several similar works 1t not only
contains the history of Randolph
county but very concise history of
West Virginia in as brief space as
possible. The work is valuable to
the general reader for this feature.
This is no doubt the best history OF
the state ever put in so small a
space but it is concise and correct.
The county history is remarkably
free from the personal tafy and
puffs and euloguims that usually &c
to fill up local histories The family
history is written without being
overloaded with descriptive adjec-
tives and without making each char
acter the greatest man in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Maxwell seems to have
gone on the presumption that o
plain story simply told is sufficient
in biography as in other things
The book deserves to be In every
library in the state aud should be
in every home in Randolph county
Mr. Maxwell will remain in Parson.

Publishing Company of this place
