Extend the Glad Hand Next Time.

The next time million dollar enter
prise offers to locate In Greenbrier
county, her good people want to be a
little more prompt with the glad hand.
A reasonable and ready denomination
by the citizens Of Greenbrier of their
disposition to protect the pulp mill
people from persecution or undue pro
secution would in all probability have
preserved to her that great industry
and made the building of the Green
brier river railroad a certainty. Dame
Fortune is not likely to lavish her gifts
upon those who are too Indifferent to
open their hands to receive them.
Look just now at CovingtOn--consider
her ways and he wise.-Monroe County

Tragic Death of Miss Howerton

Annex, May 23.-The saddest event
known ia tie history of Laurel Hill
took place there last Thursday, in the
death of Miss Ellie Howerton. The
circumstances connected with her
death leaves a LII, stery that will never
be known. Miss Howerton, a charm
ing little maid of II summers,
made her home with the Rev. Mr..
Jones, the pastor of Laurel Hill Bap-
fist church, Mrs Jones being her Sis
ter. After doing up her morning
work she walked out toward the River
Bluff only short distance from the
parsonage, in good health aud spirits.
Nothing was thought of her absence,
as she was in the habit of going to a
neighbors nearby and spending an hour
or two, but about o. clock Mrs. Jones
began to get uneasy about her and
called at the neighbors, but no one
had seen her. This alarmed Mrs.
Jones and the village people turned out
at once to search for her. After over
an hours search her sister and Mis-
Yount found her bonnet ly Ing just ut
the edge of the bluff, and OH looking
over they saw her body lying 40 feet
below lodged in some brush, head
downward, apparently lifeless. On
going to her she was still breathing,
| but unconscious. Friends carried her
to the house and several physicians
were summoned, but all that could be
done did not revive her. and she passed
away at one O'Clock Friday morning.
What caused her to fall will never
be known as no one was with her. She
often went there to gather ferns and
flowers that grew on the rocks, and the
suppositiOn is that in STOPPING the
blood rushed to her head causing her
to loose her balance, The body VAS
taken to Morehead City, North Caro-
lima, where it was buried beside her |
father, on Sunday. Miss Ellie was a |
bright little maid and had many warm |
friends and admirers. She Will be
greatly missed as those who knew her |
best, loved her most.
Rev. J. &. s. Myers had IA narrow |
escape on the night of tie 10th while
crossing culvert near Anuex. His |
horse became frightened at the noise of |
the plank and ran away with him |
throwing him out and breaking both |
shafts of his buggy. Mr.. Myers escaped
with few bruises, but the horse is
badly crippled and it will take some
time to get we'll.
Mr.. A. Towberman g horse in cross
ing the Palmer ford on Lewis creek a
few days ago became frightened at
something in the water aud whirled
with him turning the buggy over and
throwing the boy and buggy both just
where the big fish ought to be-the
deepest place. Of course no one but
the horse is to blame as he was doing
the driving. Mr.. Towberman says
next time he is going to drive himself
and let the horse do the pulling as it is
a little cool yet to 60 in bathing with
out notice.
