The glorious rain which came last Friday

was worth fortune to this county. Veee-
tation was needing it so badly and the dry,
Parohed ground was almost cracking open

| fresh start.

the west on 20, but the latter train does not
stop at Tunnelton now, as it is followed by
an accommodation, ~ minutes later Under
the new u. & o. schedule, we have four
passenger trains west and three east that
stop at Tunnelton,

tinguish the FIRE OF get them off of him till
they burned off and he was a solid burn all
over his body except his face and head
The other workmen covered him up in the
slack and some Of them got severely burnt
trying to save the boy
IL looks like Kingwood will have no mem
orial Day exercises this year, as the time IS
almost at hand and no arrangements made
yet al all. The trouble is that everybody
has always heretofore depended on the G..
a. X. Post here to take the lead in this
matter, but now the Post has gone down
and IS not working now and there seems 10
be no one to take charge Of the exercises.
Still we hope our people will repair to the
cemetery and neeorate the graves anyhow.
This can be done without any public ser.
vices.
