A MILITARY COMPANY
To BE Organized In Kingwood Now
Soon.

Now that Kingwood is on the eve
of boom and preparing TO get
some of the luxuries of live town,
the young men are preparing to
organize Company of the National
Guard and want to get everything in
good shape to be- mustered in by
mex, spring. II takes some time to
make all the necessary arrangements
and 1t is none too soon to begin to
talk II up. The State furnishes
guns, uniforms, ammunition, an
armory and every thing necessary to
equip in first class style free. The
regulations are just now adopting a
handsome new style of uniform and
as all the guard of the State will be
changing and getting new uniforms
the Companies who have the con-
tract to furnish them to the State
will be very busy and the new Com
pany to be organized here should
get in their order as soon as possible.
Then again the State has on hand
enough fine new Krag Jorgeson
rifles to equipe one Company and
the first Company organized will
likely get them. The great draw
back to having a Company here
heretofore was the lack of a place
to diIll in and use for an armory,
but 1t is now proposed to build one
and the parties who have charge of
the matter are looking for lot to
rent, lease or buy and erect a good
sized cheap frame building on it for
the purpose. A few hundred dollars
will build temporary structure out
of rough lumber, that would serve
the purpose all right and as the
State allows saoo per year rent for
an armory it will be good invest
meht. Inc State troops 60 into
camp once year for ten days and
get well paid for it and the State
pays all expenses beside. They are
only required to drill once per
month and young men living any
ways near Kingwood can Join. 1t
is proposed to enlist sixty in the
Company if that many can be secur-
ed. AS it is good training and ex-
perience for every young man .here
should be no trouble to get up
crack Company. Anyone wanting
to join will please give their name
to Capt. c. c. Pierce, DR.. c. r.
Sherwood or the editor of this
paper.

II really looks like things are
coming our way now and that
Kingwood is on the eve of boom
like unto that which has been such
a factor in the progress of the live
towns all around US, Morganiown,
Fairmont, Clarksburg, Belington.
EIkins, Parsons and others. There
is no reason why a Wooden Mill, a
Furniture Factory, a Brick yard
and other plants and industries
would not do well here and we are
willing to offer big inducements to
secure their location.

On our fourth page will be found
a table of the official vote of this
county, as cast at the recent cleo
ton. 1t will be seen that Sinclair
was Democratic by two votes, the
only precinct in the county that
went Democratic this time. Whet-
sell was very close, as it went Re-
publican by one majority. AT In
dependence the Democrats made
gains this time, and at other places
they lost ground. The total Demo
cratic vote was but 1920, while the
total Republican vote was 1885.

The Prohibiiionists bad about a
hundred votes in this county at the
late election, and most OF them
came from the Democratic ranks.
They nominated some of the best
Democrats in the county on their
ticket, and IN fact most OF their
ticket was made up from the Demo.
cratic party, and il cut down our
vote considerably too on that &C.
count. Il was very foolish for the
DEMOCRATS to throw away their
votes in that way, when they might
have done some good voting for
their own party. The Republicans
will talk Prohibition to beguile the
Democrats into voting that ticket,
but they are very clear of doing it
themselves.

The long agony over the election
of Republican to succeed Gen.
Holly as Clerk of the Supreme
Court of the State is over and a
man gets it who had not been
mentioned in connection with the
position before. The lucky chap is
William Burdette Matthews of
Moundsville, who has been a clerk
in the Auditors Office and Assistant
Adjutant General. He succeeds
Gen. Holly, who resigned last
Saturday.

The time is at hand now for our
people to all take hold and help
boom this town and shake off the
quiet and restful repose that has
made the place an ideal resort for
any one suffering with nervous pros
trs,ion and seeking perfect rest and
oblivion from the hustle and bust
ness of the outside world. This
has gone on till we have far out
done old Rip Van Wrinkle and his
famous twenty year nap and 1t is
time to wake up and put on our
working clothes and get the old
town to brake out into good sweat.

apr opOsof recenttheologica events,
about young convert in the Saliva

must speak to every one on the sub
ject OF religion. He was especially
moved one day while travelling to
address a some what austere indivi
dual seated just in front OF him.
Touching him on the shoulder,
he put the usual question: "My bro
Their, are you Christian"
Sir, was the reply aud perhaps
with shade OF impotence 'I'm a
professor in theological seminary. :"
But this only seemed to call for
renewed effort, and the young man
was equal to IT, "My dear brother.
he said, "as you value your soul,
don't let thing like that stand be-
tween you and the lord"
