There win be one cOlored face in the
newly-elected legislature in the State
OF West Virginia. HIS name is J. M.
Ellis. and he halls from Mount Hope.
Mr.. Ellis is a graduate of the law de-

was elected in a county where the
whites are in a majority, and where
two white candidates, running on the

their Democratic opponents. This Is

personal popularity. West Virginia
seems to be pretty decent place
