NEARLY FORTY YEARS

Hon. Simon S. Altizer, who is
the candidate of the Demoo-

Montgomery county, Virginia in
184S. and is now in the prime of

Virginia to the county of Logan.

A Tale of Cruelty.

Some heartless people in North
Wellsburg or just on the outskirts
of North Wellsburg were guilty of
two acts of deviltry lately. One
was to tie two cows tails together,
so that the poor beasts pulled and
pulled till one of the cows tails
was pulled off. The other act was
the rubbing of carbolic acid on the
teats of the dairy COWS belonging
to Andrew West. The animals
only suffered much from the
severe burns. but it almost ruined
the COWS for milking purposes, as
it is impossible to milk them in
such condition. AS usual, there
is no clue to the miscreant, as the
work was done in the night time

DR.. Boland,s Farewell.

1t seems only little while since
an elderly man. clean cut as to
features and mellow of voice, stood
for the first time in the pulpit of
the Southern Methodist Church
one fair September morning, and
preached his Introductory sermon
as the pastor of the people he was
then addressing The man was
the Rev. j. NJ. Boland, and yet,
short as seems the time, it was
four years ego. And last Sunday
night, to a crowded, fearful audi
ence. he had to say farewell to the
people to whom he mad SO faith
fully ministered in this period sc
full of mingled JOY and sorrow
DIR Boland has rejoiced with them
that rejoiced. has wept with them
that wept, has stood at the marri-
age altar, by the bed of sickness
and death and by the open grave,
and in every scene of happiness OF
misfortune WAS ever the true and
faithful man of God. No man
ever Served people more faithful.
ly..no people ever loved pastor
better. Now that this close rela,
ton. this intimate unicn of shep.
herd and flock is broken, the
people are asking.

ALI through this year, the
weather. prophe have kept up
their predictions of wild and wool
ly weather. AT the beginning of
the year unusually rough and
stormy weather was predicted for
the entire year, and since that the
same predictions have been hand
ed down on the instalment plan
for each month. Now, as a matter
of fact the weather this year has
not been very much different from
that of other years. This gees a
long way toward verifying the
statement issued FROM the govern.
ment weather bureau recentiv, that
it is absolutely impossible for any
man to make these long range pre-
dictions with any reasonable ac.
curacy. Many years of observa-
ton have taught us that certain
positions of the planets and GER
tain phases of the moon may pro.
duce certain disturbances of the
elements, but this is about all
there is in it.

Those Mailing Tubes

When Mr.. Dawson takes the
stump to show the voters of West
Virginia why they should elevate
him to the exalted station of chief
executive, we trust he will not fail
to explain about those mailing
tubes. 1t will be called to mind
that some months ago Secretary of
State Dawson came to the conclu.
sion that it injured the appearance
of charter to fold and mail it in
the ordinary way. and it occurred
to him 20 adopt the use of mail
ing tube for the purpose Now a
mailing tube is very simple and
cheap device; and it was certainly
very nice and very thoughtful IF
MIR. Dawson to place in mailing
tubes all charters sent out by mail.
According he ordered large num-
Der of these pasteboard tubes at
the states expense. The cost was
only nominal, being but fraction
over four cents for each tube and
the additional postage rendered
necessary by the extra weight.
The cost was paid out of the stamp
fund of the secretary of states
Office, which ID supplied by the
state.
For every charter sent out in a
mailing tube. Mr. Dawson added
to the cost of the charter the sum
one dollar. and as the law says
nothing about mailing tubes and
requires the secretary of state to
pay nothing to the state treasury
that account, Mr.. Dawson simply
put these dollars in his own pocket.
Some 400 or 1900 of those tubes
had been used and some $14OO or
$500 had thus gone into Mr..
Dawson's pocket before the matter
became public. When it finally
got out, Mr.. Dawson declared that
if the people proposed to kick
about little thing like that. he
would just get mad and stop it.
And at last accounts he has quit
charging that extra dollar.
When he comes to tell about
that transaction we would suggest
to Candidate Dawson, for want of
better explanation, that he Just
say that if the great state of West
Virginia is not willing to pay out
the pitiful sum of four cents in
order to let him make a whole
dollar, durn such state. Charles.
