We publish this week, the seventy
fourth semi-annual statement of the
Bank of Kingwood. This Bank is
one of the oldest and strongest in
in the State and no one depositing
with it, need ever fear of losing a
dollar. The shareholders are among
the very strongest financially in the
county, and but few Banks in the
State, can produce a more favorable
showing, and none a safer or more
conservative management.
AS the town of Kingwood, is adj.
mittedly the prettiest town in the
State, so the Bank of Kingwood.
has a reputation all over the State,
and indeed outside of the State, as
a safe reliable concern, backed by
a paid up capital OF over SO. 600.
This reputation il has well gained,
by careful and pains taking methods
in its history of nearly forty years,
managed always by the very best
fnsnciers in the County, or indeed
in any other county.

SHALL WE MEET AGAIN!
4 Beautiful Gem Of Language Written
by Gcorge ID. Prentice.

Men seldom think of the shadow
that falls across their own path, hid
ing'forever from their eyes the traces
of the loved ones, whose loving
smiles were the sunlight of their
existence. Death is the great antago
DIST 10 Life, and the cold though, Of
the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.
we do not want TO go through the
dark valley, although its passage
may lead to paradise; and, with
Charles Lamb, we do not want to
lie down in the muddy grave even
with kings and princes for our bed
fellows. But the fiat of nature is
memorable. There is no appeal of
relief from the great law which
dooms us to dust. We flourish and
we fade as the leaves of the forest
and the flower that blooms and
withers i'll a day has not frazier
hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations of
men appear and vanish as the grass,
and the countless multitude that
throngs the world today will to-
morrow disappear as the footsteps
on the shore.
"In the beautiful drama Of Inon,
the instinct of immortality, SO
eloqucn,ly uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds deep re.
spouse in every thoughtful soul.
When about TO give his young exist
ence as sacrifice to Fate, his
beloved Clemanihe asks if they shall
not meet again, to which he replies:
al have asked that dreadful question
of the hills that look et.rnal-of the
streams that flow forever of the.
stars among whose fields of azure
my raised spirit has walked in glory.
All were dumb. But while / gaze
upon thy face, feel that there is
something in the love that nantes
through its beauty that cannot
perish. We shall meet again,
Clcmanthe."

REV. TAYLOR BADLY BITTEN
From the Dominion.

FROM the Dominion.
Policeman b. J. Taylor who was
bitten in both thighs by Sheriff Cores
dog at the Jail Thursday evening
went to Baltimore Saturday to take
the Pasteur treatment He started
on The 6 O'Clock train and was accom-
panied as far as Conuellsvilie by
Chief of police Price. From there
he went alone to the Pasteur Institute
Baltimore.
The wounds which were made by
the sheriff's dog on Thursday after
noon had become very painful and
angry looking. Taylor was advised
by his physician DR.. Bush to take
the treatment for hydrophobia as a
precautionary measure, though there
were no signs of hydrophabia in the
dog.
Mr.. Taylor had gone to the Jail to
return the prisoner Lewis Anderson
who had been out for a hearing
before justice Shoemaker after being
incarcerated for being implicated in
the stealing of watch from T.. ID.
NORM at Little Falls. After he had
gotten to the cell door the prisoner
called for drink of water, and MIR.
Taylor started in the house to get
it for him. Mrs. Core also started
for the water and had gotten to the
kitchen before she saw Mr.. Taylor
in the house where the dog was and
she told him he had better &c out.
He started but did not get out till
the dog had caught him and wounded
him badly in both thighs.
The jailers dog is large black
and white animal and is savage to
strangers. Policeman Taylor came
here last fall from Philippi with his
wife and child. He resides on Wiles
Hill in Fourth ward and is a silver
smith by trade. He was appointed
on the police force since the organi-
cation of the new council last spring.
Everyone hopes there may be no
more serious results from the ugly
wound he received.
The cost of the Pasteur treatment
is about $3.50 and railroad expenses.
1t is thought that council will appro-
pirate funds to pay part OF this ex-
pense.
Rev. Taylor was located in King
wood for some time as the u. b.
minister on this circuit and went
from here to Elkins where he preach
ed for some time but his health
failing him he had to quit preaching
and moved to PhiIippi and engaged
IN the book business for some time
and last fall moved to Morgantown.
His friends here hope he will recover
from his wounds all right.
