Mon-Aetna.

Last Sunday night, Mon-Aetna en-
joyed one of the most pleasant meet
ings known in it's history. We had q
very large congregation. One mem
Der was received by letter, and a col
lection started, to raise the thirty
dollars assessed the church for mis-
sions. True most of the congrega-
tion left at this instant, but this
church expects the amount to be
raised by the deacons who have taken
it in hand.

First Day Of County Campaign,

Today (Friday) the county cam.
paign opens at Sanruc. We hone the
candidates for the Legislature will
endorse ard advocate the folIowina
sentiments and opinions expressed
by Senator Brice, Of York county.
Men all over the State are lust now
coming to where we have always
stood on the dispensary question.
This Is what he said:
II confess that l was once he.
never in the dispensary law as the
best solution of the liquor question !:
but aftsr careful study of the law and
existing conditions under it during
the past ten years I have come TO the
conclusion that it is the most damna-
Bile scheme that has ever been foisted
on free people.
1T Is republican Capitalization
pure and simple, and it's effects is to
take the government of the people
out OF their own hends and put it in
the hands Of the people who run the
dispensary machine.
The idea OF the dispensary came
from Russia and 1t has Russian ef
feet upon our liberties. The object
OF my bill was not to help the dispen-
sary, but to kill it..and hope to see
the day when that bill will become
the law in Sotuh Carolina.
"As to what will come after the
dispensary l can't say, but it can be
no worse. The dispensary debauches
the whole state, increases crime and
makes the state act like a drunkard
generally. For individual sins God
holds us accountable hereafter, but
Tor the sins of the state He pnnishes
as here, and we can have no more
real prosperity until we throw of
this terrible abomination.n

VISITED HERE TUESDAY,
Vice Presidential Candidate Henry G.
Davis and Senator Hill in the PARTY
SEN. DANIEL. OF VIRGINIA. SPOKE.
Also Ex-Governor William Pinkuev
Whyte, OF rlaryIand-The Deer
Park Band Present and Rendered
a Number of Airs.

The rather deliberately advertised
whiTlwind campaign of Senator Hen
ry G. DAVIS, Democratic nominee for
the vice presidency,and his party COM
posed of Senator David Bennett Hill.
of New York, Ex-Governor William
Plnkney Whyte, of Maryland, Sena-
tor John b. Daniel, of Virginia, and
others of more or less Importance in
the political world, visited Oakland
Tuesday morning, the special train
bearing the gentlemen composing the
party reaching Oakland about nine
O'Clock, and stopping at the Glades
Hotel crossing the speakers went to
the porch of the hotel and from it
speeches were made to few Demo
Gratis and a number of Republicans.
Mr.. Chas. Miller, of Swanton, pre-
sented the speakers, the first one be-
ing Senator DAVIS, who referred to
the fact that this was one of his old
homes and before him was twenty
men whom he knew personally, He
did not touch upon political subjects.
Mr.. Davis was followed by Senator
Daniel, of Virginia. Just as he arose
to speak the sun came from behind
the clouds where it had been obscur-
ed and the Senator first words were;
behold the sun of Austerlitz.'' He
asserted that God never made better
/
party than the Democratic party, but
was honest enough to confess that
this same party made many grave
mistakes. Touching upon the silver
issue Mr.. Daniel said that he preached
free silver ten years before Bryan
ever thought of it. As is usual with
Democrats he quoted Lincoln to give
weight to his argument.
Senator Hill, in very short address
predicted that New York would cast
its vote for the Democratic nominees.
but to accomplish this hard work
was necessary.
Ex-Governor Whyte followed Mr.
Hill and said that because he sat on
the knee of Andrew Jackson he could
not help being a Democrat. He dis
cussed the Philippine question for a
few moments and closed by an attack
on the principles of the Republican
party and President Roosevelt.
The train went on west in half an
hour after its arrival here and at
Terra Alta, Rowlesburg and Tunnel
ton speeches were made along the
lines as those delivered here earlier in
the day.
The Deer Park band was present,
coming over in carriages, and during
the intervals between addresses rem
dered a number of good selections.

The Prayer of the Maryland Sunday School

By G. ID. Meigs
Lord, let me live from day to-day
In such self-forgetful way
That even when | kneel to pray
My prayer shall be for--OTHERS
Help me in all the work / do
To ever be sincere and true,
And know that al I'd do for You
Must needs be done for-OTHERS.
Let SELF be crucified aud slain,
And buried deep, and all in vain
May efforts be to rise again
Unless to live for-OTHERS.
And whenm my work on earth is done,
And my new work in heavens begun,
May forget the crown I've won
While thinking still of-OTHERS.
Others, Lord; yes, Others,
And none of Self" for Inc,
Help me to live for others,
That | may live like Thee.

Towns That Wish to Grow and Pros

Towns That Wish to Grow and Pros
per Should Advertise.
One of the first requisites of a good
business man in this age of mercan-
tile activity is that he should under
stand the art of advertising. The
same rules that govern private con-
Germs should govern the business
affairs of towns and cities. Every civ
ilized town that has industrial aspi-
rations and hopes to grow and pros
per must needs let the world know
what it has to offer by way of induce
ments.
Manufacturing enterprises, educa-
tional institutions, business and pro-
fessional men are ever seeking desira-
BILE lacetions. and it is a noticeable
fact that comparatively few cities and
towns are attracting them. This is
because many towns which possess
good water power. good shipping fac
ilities, good school and residential ad-
vantages, lack the life and enterprise
to let the void know what they pos
sess. They do not grow because they
are unknown. They are like the
drowsy merchant who doesn't think
it worth while to advertise, but pre-
fers to sit and watch the spiders spin
webs across his doorway.
Every new enterprise that locates
in town adds to the prosperity and
business possibilities of every dealer
in the place, and every citizen who
has his own good and the good of the
community at heart should take a
hand in getting his town into touch
with the busy, wide awake world.

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY
Mrs. D. Y. Morris Sudden and Unex-
pected Demise Al Kingwood.


pected Demise Al Kingwood.
AT her home OH High street, King
wood, West Va, Tuesday morning,
Oct. 4, 1904, after an illness of a few
days, Mrs. Mary Elinor, beloved wife
of Mr.. David Young Morris.
The deceased was born, in the house
now owned and occupied bv Mr..
James w. Parks, September 18th.
1915, being the eldest daughter of the
late John P. Byrne, for many years
Clerk of the Circuit Court of Preston
county. Mrs. Morris was educated
at Morgantown and Winchester, Va,
where she formed acquaintanceships
and held the esteem and friendship
of many of her associates up to the
day of her sudden and ineXplicable
demise.
On November 4th, 1868, she was
united in marriage to Mr.. Morris,
then a recently discharged soldier
who went out in the defense of his
country and served 1t faithfully and
molly three years To Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris were born two daughters,
they being Adeline, wife of Mr.. w. A,
Thomas of Kingwood, who preceded
her mother to the spirit world more
than nine years, and Lillian Byrne,
wife of Mr.. BENZ. H. Sincell, of Oak
land, Md.
Since early in life Mrs. Morris was a
member of the Kingwood Presbyter-
ian church and by precept as well as
example signified her faith at all
times and under all circumstance s
She was thoroughly conscientious
noble Christian lady, an estimable
neighbor, a loving wife and devoted
and indulgent mother. She was at
all times a friend to the needy, espe-
cially when sickness invaded the
homes of those whom she knew
truely friend who practiced Charity
iu all that the word implies. She
was held in high esteem by the lowly
as well as by those in other walks of
life.
Her greatest pleasure was to render
unto others those little favors which
seemed to breathe with them the
spirit of love and the milk of human
kindness.
Mrs. Morris leaves surviving her be-
sides her husband and daughter, her
mother, Mrs. Mary Ann Byrne, and
a sister, Miss Julia, both residents of
Kingwood, and also six grandchildren.
Her funeral will be held this after
noon at two o'clock from her late res
dence. -Kingwood Journal.

Enthusiastic Club Meeting.

The Roosevelt, Fairbanks and
Pearre Republican Club of Mountain
Lake Park and Loeb Lynn met in the
Assembly Hall, Mountain Lake Park,
Tuesday evening at 7.30. Notwith-
standing the heavy rain the room
was filled to the extent of it's seating
capacity. With but one exception all
the business places of Mountain Lake
and Loeb Lynn were closed at 730 p.
III. in orLer that the merchants and
their clerks might attend. After the
routine business was transacted a
recess of thirty minutes was taken to
enable the secretary to enroll the new
members. Upon reassembling it was
announced that the enrolment num-
bered lei. The report of the Vigil
ance Committee was exceedingly sat
isfactory, showing that quite a num-
Der of new voters had been registered
which otherwise would have been
lost. By request Capt. j. A. Hayden
then took the chair and conducted a
query box. This proved to be most
interesting innovation and won the
appreciation of all. Great enthusiasm
marked the meeting from beginning
to end. The Club adjourned at a late
hour to meet again next Tuesday at
7.30 p. M, at which time special pro-
gram will be rendered.
