A DEADLY BLIGHT
T. Il. MCDoUGAL.

r. The death of j. Nj. Jackson of
Parkersburg, at the age Of forty nine
worth more than any citizen of that
city, is to be regretted. But the
fact that he died of over work is to
be deplored, and from it every one
can and should draw a salutary les :
son. Fifteen years ago he was in
comparatively good circumstances,
worth perhaps not over $4,000. He
was then the essence of genialty and
good fellowship but took no vaca-
tions or recreations. He devoted
his time to rolling up wealth; TO
chasing the great American dollar;
to acumulating money and for WHAT
His family were we'll provided with
the means of the world. Would
not his society and his devotion to
his family and friends been of far
more value than a superabundance
OJ- anu hO" lHuHlIiy nap
Ply would be his family now could
they but exchange all the wealth
be left to have him again with them.
Aye, would they not give all the
treasures of the world to have him
back. He was a good citizen, an
honest, upright man and whithal
public spirited. He was both low
able and companionable. The editor
OF the Advance can give personal
testimony to these facts, but like the
majority of American business men
of today he became inoculaled with
that deadly American disease called
commercialism, which today is wear
ing out the greatest brains, grinding
the life ont of both the body and the
soul of the majority of the most
highly talented, most brainy and
most highly educated men of this
nation. This cannot be done onlv
at tie expense of the higher life.
The nobility of man, with his in
herant desire for all that is beauti.
ful and grand is nature, pure and
elevating in art, religion and
science is as surely crushed by pres
ent day commerciallsm as were the
bodies Of the devoted but fanatieal
followers of Buddha when they flung
themselves beneath the wheels of the
Juggernaut. Verify, the man who
prayed for enough to keep him out
OF the way of temptation but not
enough to make him grasping was
philosopher Young man, remem.
Der that while money as means to
good aims and ends is an excellent
medium, that in itself it is a curse.
What profit man if be gain the
whole world and lose his life?

History of lambertvilIe.

As this year is the 200th anniversary
of the founding of the town of Lam
bertyille, the Improvement Band of the
First Baptist Church, this city, propose
to publish an interesting account of
the early history of the place. The
book will contain about fifty pages and
be printed in two styles of binding
paper and cloth. The paper binding
will cost 80 cents per copy and the
cloth $1.00. The author of this history
is one of our own residents, Miss Sarah
A. Gallagher. The sources, whence
the material has been drawn, are the
early traditions, connected with the
place, "reminiscences, old family letters
and manuscripts. The topics treated,
ginal purchase from the Indians, an
account of the early settlers and some
thing of their family history, deserip
ton and history of many old land
marks now rapidly disappearing, a
brief mention of institutions and
churches of early date. There will be
pictures of Washington $ headquarters
in the Holcomb house ON North Main
street, and of George Coryell's monu-
ment in the Presbyterian Church yard
and possibly others.
The book, as its title indicates, deals
only with the early history and tradi-
tions of our city. The information it
contains is extremely valuable and in
teresting, and the facts are worthy of
preservation in the form proposed.
The members of the Improvement
Band will make canvass for subscri-
bers at an early day, and it is hoped
that our citizens, old and new resi-
dents will favor them by subscribing
for one or more copies. II ought to be
in every home in the town.
