him in the next convention. The last
campaign found the delegation from
this county unit for Dayton; but
from present indications it does not
seem as if that will be the case next
time. The name of Judge Homer
Holt, of Grafton, is frequently men
toned as the man who is most likely
to succeed Dayton, as member of con-
gress from this district. Holt has
many warm friends among the repub-
licans in this county and no doubt,

THE DAILY NEW DOMINION
moRGANrowN. FEBRUARY 10. 1900.

SATURDAY, February 18th, there will
be placed on the market a new novel
by Miss Mary Johnston, with illustra-
tons by Howard Pyle 1t will be in one
volume, S vo. The price will be 81 80.
Like Prisoners of Hope, this is story
OF the early years of Colonial Virginia,
opening in 1881 with the arrival from
England OF a consignment of maidens to
be sold to the colonists for wives, each
being offered for 100 pounds OF tobacco.
Role. who had married and buried
Pocahontas, appears on the scene, but
not as the hero This is Captain Ralph
Percy, by whom the story is told, and
this is noble account Of a series of
highly dramatic events and experiences,
some caused by the eolopists them
selves, some by the London Company
which controlled the colony, others by
the Indians who watched them jealous
ly, and still others by the unfriendly
forces of nature. Over all the wild,
stormy scenes throughout the unfolding
of this drama, Miss Johnston presides
with the steadiness OF Fate, and yet the
touch, however firm, is always definite
and fine. Both the story and the man
ner OF its telling lend to this book a
very remarkable interest. You can get
this book as soon as it is on the market
from the Acme Book Store, Morgan
town, w Va.

THERE is wide sentiment in favor
of compelling all tramps and Migrants
to work on the streets to pay for their
keep and any fines that may be against
them. Who can raise any objection
to such an arrangement? At Union
town the vags have been put to work
quarrying stone and last week they
dug out stone worth 5000. 1t is said
that everything is made for some pur-
pose. Can it be that use has at

THE question of how to get good
roads is attracting attention and dis

knotty problem. The indiscriminate
issue of bonds by every county would
be unwise and lead to no end of trou-

and digested very thoroughly and
every step in the matter taken with
the greatest care The matter will
have to be met in some way sooner OF
later and the way to get light on the
subject is to think and talk of it.

In the town where | first began busi-

VINO was quite alone in the world. and
had some years before taken out five
thousand-dollar policy on himself for
the benefit of a maiden sister. who had
died year before the events of this
story. He kept his policy going, how
ever, because 1t was a good way to save
money, and one day he was taken down
with some kind Of fever. He grew worse
DAY after day, until one day the doctor
told him that he would in all likelihood
be dead within the next twenty-four
hours. This suggested his life insr1Y-
aoce money, all he had to leave, and he
Immediately began to talk with the
doctor On the subject Of proper dis
posal of it. He concluded after some
thought that the best thing to 10 with
1T was TO blow 1t in on a tremendous
Dig funeral for himself, including
banquet for all the people he knew.
Tbs was an entirely new idea for
funeral, and when the doctor left him
that night to the care OF his nurse his
mind was entirely occupied with his
funeral. He talked to the nurse about
1T and when the nurse made him stop
he lay and thought about It. In fact,
he became SO much interested in the
details of hts funeral that he quite for
got about having to die to make II pos
sible. In the morning when the doctor
came he found his patient in wild
Precipitation and his pulse beating in
much better fashion than It had been
doing for some days. He also found the
general condition of the patient much
improved. He was greatly astcnished,
and at once began to ask questions.
The patient told him with eages inter
est Of a lot Of new things he had
thought Of for the funeral and some
that bothered him good. deal and said
he had been thinking of 1t all night.
Then the doctor laughed and told him
he guessed the funeral would have to
be postponed, for he wasn't going to
die, just then anyhow. Nor did be. and
he isn't dead yet, but he Is married and
has his policy paid up for his w1fe's
benefit"
