A co AWAY FROM HOME FOR

On a.country road leading from
the Ohio River pike, near County
Commissioners Kyle's home, to
Barboursville, in Cabell county, is
tree that has gained the title of
"Crazy Tree" and Drunken
Bower" The branches at it's top
have been falling down occasional
ly to the road over which it spread
it's boughs for several years, just as
some good citizen would pass under
it. Many of these branches were
apparently sound and came near
ending the existence of different
persons. DIR. Adams was subject
the tree had grudge against, and
heavy stick from its top almost
struck him down. There were
numerous reports about branches
falling from the top and almost
killing some one, but the latest
victim was Jack Ash, of Seven
Mile, who was struck by heavy
limb and 80 badly injured that his
life was for time despaired of.
He is now sueing the county for
$4,000 damages.

CRY Your Luck"

This is what fakir with one of
these cheap swindling games of
chance said to a young man who
stopped to watch the game. This
is very significant phrase, char
aoteristioally American in it's fla
vor, dash and disregard of conse-
quenoes. "Try your luck" con-
fronts the young man at every turn
in life. He can try it by investing
his money in one stinker of cigar
and take his chance of the lucky
turn of the wheel which will give
him two stinkers
He can "try his luck" at spend
ing his money as fast as he earns
it and take his chance almost a
dead sure thing-of being buried
by charity. Or he can try his
luck" at loafing. drinking and dew
iItry and take his chances on the
penitentary. Or he can "try his
luck" at good, honest hard work,
self-denial and manly living and
take the chance-we might say GER
tainly-of being of some use in the
world and of not having any hired
mourners at his funeral. 1t is all
right to try your luck" my boy,
but try it sensibly and intelligent
ly.

There is some typhoid fever in
Point Pleasant and new cases are
developing, and if filth is the fore
runner of the disease, we can look
out for more cases and plenty of
them. We don't know whether
our health officers have visited the
portion of the town known as
Crooked Creek" or not. If they
have not they should leisurely and
quietly go down the alleys and
along the depot road, and bottle a
val of hog pen aroma that is
floating through the air these hot
days, and submit their findings to
the town Council and see if that
tribunal does not think something
should be done to protect the
health of the community. The
hog pen is numbering tho people,
and the Council seems unwilling
to turn hand to save their health
ard their lives.

1t is most difficult thing in this
