FAITHFUL TO THE END.
A Kanawha County Woman Dies Whose
Life Presents Romance.

Miss Elizabeth Jones died at 6
o'clock last Friday night, on Camp
BELLS creek, about II miles from this
city, aged 103 years. She would
have been l04 years of age had she
lived until January next. For some
years past she made her home with
Burley Winfree, and her death was
caused by the general breaking
down of the vital powers.
Miss Jones was highly esteemed
by all who knew her and her recol.
lections, reaching back as they did
for almost century, were intensely
interesting to the young generation.
Her death is the ending of 70
nance such as is seldom found in
real life and the story of her faith
fulness to the memory of her lover
is one that is not often found out
side of the pages'of fiction.
In her early womanhood she was
engaged to be married to young
member of the Virginia militia, who
went out in the service of the United
States in the war of 1912. He was
killed at Alexandria, Va, ON August
%, 1914, in skirmish with the
British under Gen. Ross, who en-
tered the city of Washington on the
following day and burned the then
uncompleted capitol. This was a
few days previous to the date set for
his marriage with Miss Jones.
When the news of his death
reached her she was almost broken
hearted, and although she shortly at
terward recovered her usual spirits
and was a cheerful and welcome com
panlonto all her friends, she cherished
his memory to the day of her death,
and although would be lovers came
in plenty, none found favor in her
eyes. She remained true to the
memory OF the dead, and now, after
nearly century of separation, she
has gone to meet her soldier lover in
bright and a better world.-Mail-
Tribune.

NEAR Blacksmith, Wayne township
freene county, it looks as though
new pool Of deep sand oil would be
opened in the not distant future.
Greene county territory, however, has
proved so cratic in the past few years
that all predictions have gone wrong,
even when the outlook was most
promising. Some three months age
the South Penn Oil Company drilled
in wildcat, located on the William
Lantz farm and the showing was such
that it made the territory in that To-
cality look like sure winner The
opinion is now further confirmed by
the South Penn drilling in second
well on the same farm located 1000
feet west of its first test and securing
a producer that is rated at 100 bar
rels day Ut better. This and the
first well are located six or eight miles
from any production, and if the for
mer comes up to present expectations
will prove an entirely new pool. But
as previously stated so many brilliant
prospects have melted away in Greene
county that skepticism accompanies
such new strikes.

Immense Fire Started by Thought
lessness-Leak is Repaired BY Force
Sent from Morgant0wu.
CANS, Dec. 5.-One of the 6-inch
pipes of the Standard Oil company
line leading east from Mofgantown
burst in the edge of the mountain,
near David Fowleris place, in edge OF
West Virginia, about noon on Friday,
December l. The oil did not cease
flowing until Saturday morning, vast
ing many thousands of barrels of oil
and damaging much property. The
opening was about six feet long from
which the oil escaped, and the force
of the pump was so great that the oil
vas forced higher into the air than
the tops of the adjacent trees aud
could be seen for some distance, ap-
pearing like the smoke of some great
fire. After the oil had reached Ru-
ble's run late in the evening some
thoughtless person set fire to il but
fortunately the fire did not spread very
far towards the source from which the
oil came. The fire was so great that
the light could be seen for miles
flashing against the sky. A great
deal of excitement was caused
amongst the people of this neighbor-
hood. The company has destroyed all
the remaining oil that no more dam
age can be caused by fire. The dam
age done to property through which
the oil flowed is very great David
Fowler was the first one TO suffer
damage from the escaping oil, it de-
stroying great portion of his wheat
field and flooding his well thence
crossing the pike it did considerable
damage TO the property of Basil Por.
ter and Oliver Majors, flooding the
formers orchard, and it is thought
the trees will die. The water supply
both for house use and for his cattle
was completely flooded by the oil on
the farm owned by Alvin j. Stentz in
West Virginia. The damage done
Mr.. Stentz is certainly very great as
IL will possibly be years before he can
use the water again and in such case
it would be hard to estimate the dam
age done. The burning oil on the
creek was also the cause Of much fence
being burned on the Ruble property
belonging to Calvin Ruble. A tele-
gram was sent to Morgautown to stop
the pumps and the break was repaired
Saturday morning. 1t is reported the
company offer big reward for Infor-
nation that will lead to the arrest of
the party who lighted the oil.
George W. Hunter, teacher of Bun
ker Hill school in Springhill township,

Break in Pine Line.

The pipe line to the east was broken
Friday afternoon between Laurel Hill

Some one set the oil on fire as it came
out and hot blaze was the result.

particulars be obtained as the Pump

REV. l.. E. PETERS
Attacks the Various Assortment of
Evils In the New Oil Field.

GVllS IA tue new VII ltlus
Rev. L. E. Peters pastor Of the
Baptist church at Clarksburg who
is well known here recently took oc-
casion to criticise very severely some
things that have occurred in that
nice town. The new oil field near
that place has brought in an element
that follows all such things and bad
as Clarksburg was it now seems to
be ten fold worse The Ikverend
gentleman attached the municipal
government in scathing terms and
exposed the evils that exist so vivid
ly that the Clarksburg News which
is very warm itself says: "The SER
mon Of Rev. L. f. Peters at the Bap-
fist church last Sunday evening was
terrific arraignment of cur local
government. The entire talk was
hot enough, if published, to burn a
hole in Uncle Sam mail sacks. The
Rev. is deep thinker and not
afraid to speak his sentiments. We
would like to publish part of his
sermon, but things can be said in
the pulpit which cannot be sent
through the mails"

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Disturbers Of Religious Worship at
Bethal are Held-TwO of Them are
Still in Jail.

AS a result of hearing Of the three
young men before Squire Parker on
Monday afternoon they were held to
await the action of the grand jury.
Ferns Everly furnished bail and was
released. The other two were re-
manded to Jail in default of bail and
will remain there until court if they
DO not get the bail before that time.
The two sent back were Frank
Everly and G.. 9. Williams. They
were charged with having attempted
to break up the meeting at Bethel on
Saturday night. The example made
of these fellows will be healthy one
and it would be well for any other vio-
lators along this line to be a little
more careful.

LOCAL COMPANY
Will Probably be i'm the Parade at
Wheeling on WashingtOn's Birthday.

1t has been proposed that the
First Regiment be taken to Wheel
ing when Dewey is to be there on
the 22d of February. The occasion
is to be the erection of a tablet on
the site of old Fort Henry and the
presentation of sword to a Wheel
ing man who served with distinction
in the late war with Spain. Admir-
al Dewey has accepted the invita-
ton to be present and will be there
without fail
The suggestion has been made
that the First Regiment National
Guard be invited to be present and
it will probably meet with success.
None OF the companies are very far
away and they can be gotten in there
very cheaply. Morgantown's com
pany will probably be among those
that are in the parade if the present
plans are carried out.
