About the largest percentage we
ever heard of being charged for col
Letting a check came under our no.
tice few days ago. The widow of
Joseph WhetZel, residing with rela-
tives at Pine Swamp, short distance
above town, on the West Virginia
side, received a check for $210.60 in
surance on the life of her husband,
who was fatally injured about a
month ago by the fall of a scaffold at
the paper mill at Luke. A few days
after receiving the check strange
man turned up at her home, stayed
all night with the family, made him
self extremely agreeable and took
particular pains in explaining the
difficulty in getting check cashed in
case she was not identified by the
bank officials. He claimed to be well
known in Cumberland and if she
would accompany him there he as
sured her there would be no trouble
in getting the money. They took the
early train next morning and after
arriving in the city Mrs. Whetzel en-
dorsed the check and handed it over
to the man, who called himself Tay-
lor, but was recognized by some par
ties at Hampshire as a fellow who
worked in this vicinity a few years
ago. 1t was not long before he re-
tured with the money, gave the wo-
man $105, half of what the check
called for, and retained the balance
for his services. This was the last
seen of the fellow and Mrs. Whetzel
returned to her relatives next day
with her business ideas considerably
broadened.
Rev. Cecifs revival services are be-
ing attended nightly by large crowds

Last week we had about given up
in despair so far as the rebuilding of
lumber mill on the old Lochiel site
was concerned. Since then, however,
things have changed and we are now
pretty well informed on good author
ity that Dubois & Bond have pur-
chased the Lochiel tract that was cut
over about 10 or - years ago for it's
fine timber and will recut same for
its hard woods, great amount of
which and in paying quantities re-
main on the land. The Lochiel site
has not been abandoned but will be
utilized for the erection of modern
plant as soon as a few preliminaries
are arranged. The amount paid for
the tract was 100000.
