The following patriotic lines were
written by George N. Mcdonald,
of this place, for Washington City
paper, while the President lay in
state and whole nation was in
mourning
The President is dead
That great and patriotic son
OF the proud State, Ohio,
Now lies corpse
Slain by the hand of Anarchy,
And the whole nations mourns.
From the remotest corners of the
earth
Come messages of love and sympa
thy
To this stricken people.
From Kings and Queens and En-
perors
And Presidents of other great Re.
publics.
But saddest far are we
Who in this day of our extremity
of grief
From North and South, from East
and West,
Can only bow our heads in grief
and say
Goods will, not ours, be done"
oh, God, that such a man as he,
The Chosen of the people,
Should fall by such a one,
a vile and bastard thing,
Whose name should he forgotten,
And with this end in view
Let no man print or paint,
Or engrave the same on anything
10 keep it Ia our memory.
But let each son and daughter of
this land
Breathe to his God fervent prayer
That He will give to her
Who is the widow of the great Re-
public,
The comfort and the consolation
OF His Holy Spirit.

The Governors Proclamation
ORDAlNlNG THANKSGIVING In
WEST VIRGINIA.
PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with proclama-
ton of the President of the United
States, Thursday, November aSth,
has been designated as a day of Ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer.
Therefore, | request that upon that
day the citizens of our common
wealth meet in their respective
places of worship and there give
thanks unto Almighty God for the
great things which he has bestowed
upon us as nation during the past
year.
We are truly favored people
among the nations of the world.
and the citizens of no State in our
Union have more abundant reasons
for thanksgiving than those of West
Virginia. Our National prosperity
has been very great, and we have
been shielded from pestilence and
distress. Our State has probably
been blessed above all others in the
progress of material development
and in the increased production of
the great riches with which God has
favored us.
A thankful heart is a grateful and
generous one. Let us not be I'M
mindful, therefore, of those around
us, who may be less fortunate, and
may generous giving character
lie our thankfulness.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, at the Capt.
tol, on the seventh day of Novem-
Der, IN the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and one, and the thirty
ninth year of the State.

From Special Contributor
After we had retired for the nights rest.
Some boys came without our request:
Came at an hour very late
Upset building and carried of gate
Before the sun was permitted TO rise
We saw what was done TO our surprise
We did not take any time 10 rest
But fastened to tell the hoys it would be
best,
For them their steps TO retrace.
And return everything to It's proper place
When the boys plainly saw.
They had laid themselves liable 10 the law
They decided IL would be the better plan.
To take the advice Of an older man.
The next night at an hour not so late.
They replaced the building and brought
back the gate.
The boys thought it would be fun.
After their days work was done
But the laws of our country don't demand.
That we should keep guard at hand.
To guard our property and W atch our gate.
But those who tresspass by the light of the
stars.
Often find themselves behind the bars
was always friend to the boys.
Aud like to share their pleasures and Joys.
So would ask them to take the advice OF
man.
And never violate the laws OF our land.
But seek pleasure OF different kind.
That would be elevatlng to their mind.
That they may always be kind and free.
And always be happy as happy can be.
We like the boy who can laugh and sing.
And make all glad together;
kind unselfsh heart can bring
Good cheer In the darkest weather.

Clarksburg owned by r. T. Lown-
aes burned to the ground Tuesday
evening of this weeks, entailing a
loss of $50, 900, with no insurance
and throwing sixty hands, mostly
girls, out of employment. The fire
originated from spontaneous com.
bustlon in the picking room and
was famed by strong wind which
was blowing at the time. The mill
was established in 1871 and has
been operated successfully ever
since. Much valuable machinery
and equipment has recently been
added and the loss is heavy one

and Pinckney cast their ballots at

I I
am told at the Navy Depart
ment that Admiral Crowninshield.
or Captain Crowninshield as he
soon will be, will be given com
mand OF the European station, has
brought a hornets nest about Sec
rotary Longs ears and that he is
being deluged with protests from
people all over the country who are
admirers of Admiral Schley and
would, therefore, object to anything
IN the nature of promotion for
Crowninehield. The Secretary is
at loss to know what to do in the
matter and he is equally 10th to
consult the President. There is no
precedent for the Secretary of the
Nays explaining to private citi-
zens he reasons for the promotion
that he sees fit to make, but on the
other hand, to ignore protest from
sources so widespread certainly
seems like bad politics.
! !
Recent advices from the Philip
pines report the adoption of the
most drastic laws in regard to trea-
son and some vigorous protests from
our Philippine subjects who de-
nounce the laws as more severe
than those with which they had to
contend under the Spanish regime.
Of course provision for the severe
punishment of treason, rewards to
informers and violations of indiyid-
ual liberty are inseparable from the
colonial policy and must be ac-
cepted as inevitable.
