One of the very latest triumphs of
human ingenuity is the counterfeit

and sold by an enterprising resident

are many persons who are opposed to
vaccination, believing that it often
introduces other diseases into the
systems. These are patrons of the
counterfeiter The scar is in the
form of very delicate plaster, cum
ningly tinted and marked as to de-
ceive the eye. 1t is said that 200
school children wearing these bogus
marks passed
The statement going the rounds of
the press that a vein of bituminous
coal fifty feet thick had been discov-
cred in Randolph county is without
foundation-merely a pipe dream.
The coal alluded to in the papers
runs fro n seven to nine feet in thick
ness and is the Upper Freeport vein.
1t lies in Mingo district, and is as fine
specimen of the Freeport coal as there
is in America. The prominent young
attorney who gave the fifty feet in
thickness story to the press was SIM
ply misinformed.- Elkins Enterprise.

& Brown, furniture and undertaking.
Oakland, spent several days in Terra
Alta during the past week, looking
up business location, it being the
intention of the firm to establish a

They will most probably erect a build
ing on the Odd Fellows lot opposite
Hotel Huntington, Washington st.
The same to run the entire length of
the lot. The new erection will have
an iron front and plate glass windows,
and will be quite an improvement to
that section of the town.-Terra Alta

Success in business is not to be
reached nowadays in the easy-going
method that obtained a generation
or two ago. Times have changed and
people have changed with them.
