Cause OF Joshua FOrtney's Death

Joshua D. Fortney, Of Gypsy, West
Virginia, died at Purdy on August 49,
Of fecal impaction which produced ap-
pepdicitus and fatty degeneration Of
the heart. Doctors Youngblood and
Massie, Of Huntsville, and Hill, Of
Marble, held a post mortem examina-
tion which confirmed the above dag
nosls. Mr.. Fortney was a respected
citizen In the community in which he
lived, was soldier of -four years SER
vice In the late war, and came to Pur-
dy last March with the intention OF
residiRg there one year on trial, and u
he was sufficiently satisfied at the end
Of that time he would locate perma-
nently. We regret the loss Of a valu-
able citizen, and extend sympathy 70
his family, who we understand will re.
turn at once to West Virginia.

RemodeIIing,

While seldom necessary when the
building was constructed rightly Ia
the first place is frequently resorted to
from variety Of reasons. Many build
ings and residences possess glaring de-
fects which depreciate their value
greatly and it is often to obyiate these
disadvantages that resort is made to
remodeliiug.
The expense involved In doing such
work varies greatly OF course but us a
rule the economical benefits derived
from an increased valuation OF the
property greatly exceed the cost Of
making the changes. Not seldom has
ii Happened that buildings so altered
have rented for double the amount
originally received.
Among the most common defects are
bad light; defective plumbing; poor
ventilation: damp and unsafe walls;
awkward interior arrangements: unin-
viting entrance, etc,
In many instances there are various
ways in which the desired result can
be obtained and the precise method to
be acted upon is not always an expen.

Such ideas and suggestions as we are
able TO give are NJ your service. We
shall be pleased to assist you II you

REFLECTIONS rPoy ELECTIONS.

Messrs. Mckinley and Roosevelt have at
length been fully elected IN the offices respect
ively Of President and Vice President Of the
United States for term Of four years. begin
ming on March next II has been a long and
elaborate process. The candidates were So
lected early last summer What we NAV term
the primary elections were held throughout
the country on November g. and the results
thereof were Immediately announced The act
ual election held on January IL but the
votes were not counted and the result was not
formally announced until last Wednesday,
February IL II was remarked by spectators
that the elimination of this long process was
somewhat tame and commonplace: i'm contrast
AZ any rate with the ceremonial attendant upon
the proclaimng of a new king or emperor.
Doubtless. Yet il should not have been devoid
of certain stately dignity, and TO the re-
Elective mind il should have seemed in purport
and i'm essence one Of the most impressive OF
all political performances.
II is a curious anomaly however. that after
all this detailed succession of electoral achieve
ments the series should be left incomplete and
indeed. there should be left a serious gap in il
for all time. We refer 10 the omission Of
notification or formal certification to the sue
cessful candidates, and Of formal acceptance
by them. When the candidates were nomi-
mated by the popular conventions Of the par
ties last summer-entirely extra-legal bodies. by
the way-it was deemed necessary 10 inform
them or the fact in particularly formal and
eeremonious manner, and the candidates them
selves accepted the nominations. both i'm set
speeches and i'm carefully prepared letters. And
yet neither those nominations nor those ac-
ceptances had any real legal force. But now
there has been performed an act of all the
most binding in law, and the most important
OF the entire electoral process And no GER
| tihcate OF It's purport is issued and no an
nouncement of It's result is made 10 the mon
concerned Messrs. Mckinley and Roosevelt
