In Memoriam.

The universal regret expressed
by all who knew him regarding the
death of Master Tony Ihrig leads
the Review to call attention more
specifically to the many virtues OF
this young life which met with
such an untimely end. 1t Is sell
dom that one so young numbers so
many friends among those with
whom he Is acquainted, especially
In his later years. when the bud OF
manhood seem to have already,
even If permaturely, made their
appearance, leading to a life and
conduct far In advance of his years.
Always pleasant. always ready to
accommodate, always true to bis
friendships, this boy had entwtned
himself around the affections OF
both old and young. Although
not yet out of the years of the
knickerbockers and childish ways,
he had inmany ways given evl.
dence of maturity that astonished
his closest friends, and which gave
evidence of a life full of earnest.
ness and energy, life which, with
the advantages which he enjoyed,
would not. could not, have failed to
be most successful.
Tony was born near Lima, Ohio
some fifteen years ago. He came
to Sistersville at very early age,
and lived here until few years
ago, when he removed to Parkers.
burg with his mother, alternating
between there and Sistersville.
When here, he was active and zeal.
Gus, whether In the school or on
the play ground. He was leader
among his companions, and gave
evidence of occupying the same
position In later life. In school he
took high rank, the restless energy
being fastened upon his studies
with the same tenaclty as on the
games of the recess.
AS he grew older, he became
even more pronounced In his school
success, more determined In his
character, more In every thing
undertaken, and more the proto-
type of successful and useful man.
His father, who worshlpped him,
who bestowed upon him every
thing a young heart could desire,
was repaid by the constantly In
creasing assurance that Tony
would be to him a son In whom the
parental pride could revel without
limit, and hard was the blow when
1t came, and separated Harry and
Tony who had already become
chums rather than father and son.
1t was one of those mysterious
dispositions of the All.Wise, which
we cant understand, and while we
bow at this, we must wonder that
others whose life promises so much
less are left behind.
But Tony has gone to better
world, where he will wait and
watch for the coming Of the father
whose one happiness In life was to
make his boy happy.
The entire community expresses
Its deep sympathy for the bereaved
father, In which the Review most
sincerely joins. Plain, honest &C.
commodating Harry Ihrig has lost
the only source of joy the world
has for him, but his friends will
help bear the burden thus imposed

VEGETABLES
MORE PLENTIFUL.
In Market Than They Have Been for
Several Weeks Past.

In Market Than They Have Been for
Several Weeks Past.
The display, quantity and quality of
vegetables in the market yesterday
and last night was much better than
that of several weeks past. The
prices, however, were a little higher
that usual, owing to the fact that the
most of the produce came from the
southern part of the state or Florida.
Green cabbage and turnips, especial
ly were numerous, both being of large
and healthy varieties. Green onions,
carrots, beets, raddish, ETC., were also
plentiful and of good variety. None
of the produce bore signs of having
gone through or experienced much
cold weather. Other produce such
as Northern cabbage, onions, potatoes
and sundry truck were numerous and
brought the usual prices per quart and
peck.
The supply of fruit was a little off
in quality, though plentiful and at
reasonable prices. Strawberries made
their first appearance in any guam
tity and brought prices ranging from
80 to so cents per basket They came
from the southern part of Florida.
Bananas were the most numerous of
the fruit line and retailed at from )
to Is cents per dozen. Florida oranges
had a good and steady demand, but
they were not up to the standard of
quality. Apples, also, appeared in
ferior. though they were sound and
wholesome.

1t Takes a Shrewd Lawyer and q
Magnifying Glass.

Some policies of life insurance are
so shrewdly worded and have so much
fine print that it would take a shrewd
lawyer and a magnifying glass to
read and understand them. Those
harmless looking little clauses in fine
print bind you and are of more i'm
portance than the elaborate litho-
graphed first page. Only when some
contingency happens do you find what
grip that fine print has on you. Have
you ever read a Massachusetts, Mutual
policy? Nothing there in fine print that
you could take any exceptions to.
Everything is plainly stated in Ian
guage that any tyro can understand
and digest, besides the law of Massa-
chusetts guarantees you your every
equity. You had better be sure than
sorry, and if you are contemplating a
life policy, let us show you our plans.

dress will bring you full information

Two white women came near being
run over last night about o'clock by a
north bound trolley car at the corner
of Congress and Barnard streets. One
of the women was struck by the car.
She was not knocked down. but was
pushed to one side of the track without
injury. A south bound car had just
passed and the women attempted to
cross the track behind ii, not being con-
scious of the fact that another car was
approaching from the opposite direc-
ton. One of them stepped on the track
directly in front of the car before she
knew of its near proximity to her. The
other one jumped back and escaped be-
ing struck. Afterwards the woman
who escaped being struck was so I'M
nerved that she tainted.
Those who witnessed the narrow es-
cape said that no one was really to
blame. as the noise of the vendors
around the market building made il i'm
possible for the women to hear the
car approaching and as the other car
was between them and it, they could
not see their danger.

MISSED FROM THE RANKS.
Grave of Lewis Ayers, TattnaIPs Ma
rines, F1ound After IS Years.

In 1864, when Sherman's army was
marching towards Savannah, Lewis
Ayers, private in Capt. ]. r. F. TAFT
nails company of Confederate marines,
wrote to his wife that he was quite
i'll. That was the last she heard of
him. While Col. Estill was campaign
ing in Upper Georgia last summer he
met Mr.. S. S. Ayres of Henry, Frank
lin county, a son of the missing soldier,
who told him the story of his fathers
disappearance. Col. Estill promised
that he would Investigate the matter
on his return home, which he did.
Capt. Tattnall could not recall the
name or the circumstances, and an in
vestigatiOn of the records of Laurel
Grove Cemetery gave no clew. Mr..
Ayres, the son, was written to that
effect last July.
A few weeks ago Col. Estill, in look
ing over his old pamphlets, found one
prepared by the late A. f. TOrley, for
many years keeper of Laurel Grove,
in which there is a list of the Con-
federate dead buried in the cemetery.

lowing record: Lewis Ayres, TAFT

ing reply was received:
Dear Sir: Your kind and appre-
ciated letter is received. We cannot
express the gratitude it afforded our
family. My mother said this morning
that she had almost seen her long lost
one. We are happy to know where his
remains rest. You will be ever re-
membered by our family, and your
name is one of ours. Since l met you
in May we had a son born to us, and
his name is 'Estill.' l hope l may have
the opportunity in the future to show
my appreciation of your kind deed in
furnishing the long sought for and SO

$4,000 Per BOTTLE.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
800 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute.-ad.

when they are closely scrutinized they
will be found to be perfect in point of
construction. Each target is built upon
cement pillars, anchored on the outer
end and absolutely level. The en-
bankments are being leveled so as to
conform with the targets.
At each of the four ranges and at
the skirmish, storage houses have
been constructed, in which will be
placed the targets, discs, tools and
other paraphernalia. This is a depar-
ture which will obviate the necessity
of bringing the targets across the
range whenever it is desirable to use
a range. Then, too, it will result in the
better preservation of the targets, and
expedite the placing of targets.

STOLE CAR KNUCKLES.
Five Negro Boys Charged with
Theft by Detectives.

For stealing car knuckles from the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
on River street five negro boys are
held prisoners at the police station
house. The arrests were made by De-
tectives Murphy and Wall, after con-
siderable trouble.
For some time the railroad company
has been losing knuckles from its cars
on River street, and complaint had
been made at police headquarters.
Without the knuckles the cars cannot
be coupled together and the losses were
annoying to the railroad officials. To
the juvenile thieves the knuckles are
worth probably less than cents, but
their disappearance gave the railroad
company no end of trouble. The boys
under arrest are Benjamin Hamilton,
10 years; Philip Hunter II years; John
Thompson, 10 years; Eddie Eight, Ia
years, and Willie Green. 10 years. They
will probably be all arraigned before
Recorder Myrick in Police Court to-
morrow.
