KIugwoOd's Latest improvement.

Kingwood keeps right on coming to the
front and putting on metropolitan airs. The
ls,es, addition to the town in this line has
been added by Henry c. Flythe, our en-
terprisng undertaken, who received last
week from the factory at Ravenna, Ohio, a
magnificent Funeral Car, costing sIos6.
There is not finer one in the State and
few haudsomer OF more costly ate to be
found in the large cities. tits well worth
trip to Mr.. Flythe's place TO inspect this
fine piece of work. 1t is built very strong
and of the finest material, with heavy silver
mouniings, even on the hubs of the VIII els
aud the tips Of the swingle-,rees. IL can be
drawn easily by two horses ON good roads,
but is arranged for four in case they are
needed. Beautiful emblems 90 with IL To
be used in case the funeral is that of a
member of any of the leading lodges.
While the car is large, heavy and imposing.
II can be turned squarely around as the
front wheels revolve under the car. The
drivers seat is even hung with beautiful
tapestries and with oil cloth covering in
case of rain. The inside of the car is very
handsome with silver rollers in the bottom
to slide the casket in and out aud silver
fasienings to hold any size casket right in
its place. Mr. Flythe will have his hearse
reprinted aud fixed up and use it on long
and hard trips in the country as the car is
only TO be used about town or on good
roads. The funeral cars are supplauting
the hearse in the cities aud larger towns and
our people being right uP-to-date are proud
of such modern limo atoms and Mr.. Fiyihc
deserves credit for his enterprise and keep
ing up with the times While we arc glad To
see such handsome improvement, we do not
intend TO use il any sooner than we can
