| pened in this way, the through
freight north bound run into some
cars that had gotten in some un-
known way on to the main line
from Smither's Greek switch, at
Cannelton, wrecking several OF
them, also throwing engine No.
291 down fifteen foot embank-
ment, completely wrecking it.
Engineer Towmly, fireman Thomas
and conductor Newsome we're in
the cab of the engine at the time
and how they escaped serious or
fatal injuries is wonder. They
we're only slightly injured we are
glad to say.
The West Virginia Equal Snff;
rage Association will hold its fifth
annual convention at Fairmont, on
December 1st, 1900. The State
officers are to be elected and work
planned for the ensuing year. All
friends of women's enfranohise-
mont are invited to be present.
We don't know whether there are
any women suffragist in this town
or not, but nevertheless Point Plea
SAINT should have representation at
this meeting.
People are beginning to agitate
the building of a wagon bridge
across the Great Kanawha River at
this place. The county court will,
at no far distant day, be petitioned
to submit the question of bonding
the county for that purpose. So

build it.
It may be decided to introduce
rural free delivery everywhere the
deliveries i'll cities do not reach,

Virginia. He is we'll qualified to
perform the duties of this import
ant office; and if the court is dis.

a new man, we hops that tho man..
tie will fall to Mr.. Boggess.
An exploit offer of some. kind is
what makes an Advertisement in
teresting. The general idea an
nouncement may be all right in ite

mind and purse that the other
kind possesses.
Read Levine & Lewis advertise
ment in today's paper, They have
a big stock to select from. There
is no better or more complete line
of goods anwhere than our readers
will find there.
1t is now thought that star route
postal deliveries will do away with
many of the smaller postoffices.-
This may be better for the people,
but will raise howl from the post
masters who lose their jobs.
The two newspapers burned out
at Philippi, this state, last wcek,
bave made their appearance again.
They are the Plaindealer and the
Republican. We are gratified to
see them rising from the ashes.
If the coming session of Con-
gress appropriates money for all the
jobs that are being fixed up there
will be deficit instead of sur
plus in the Treasury. Democrats
may not be able to prevent those
appropriations, but they can chow

Senator Clark, of Montana, seems
to have got his title on straight
this time, which is more than oan
