ling Spring section, his wife having
been Miss Dora Mason of Lewisburg,
W. Va, and they had been married
only four months. The Highland Re-
corder says: Mr.. Biggs and a boy NAM
ed Bobbitt, were in the woods back of
the house shooting pheasants, and after
killing one, he started for the house,
having become separated from young
Bobbitt.
Nothing was heard of him until af
ter dinner, when colored girl discOv-
cred the dead body near a fence close
to the barn. He had attempted to
cross the fence. and in putting the gun
across, holding it by the muzzle. had
probably struck the hammer against
some object, causing the discharge of
the gun. The load of shot entered his
breast and throat, no doubt killing him
Instantly.
Mr.. Biggs was "a years of age, and
was the only son of the late s. G.. Biggs.

Senator Martin ana Mr.. Kelley Speak.

There was fair and enthusiastic
audience in the corporation court
room Friday night to hear these dis
tlnguisbed speakers. Hon. Same
Kelley, who led off. was introduced by
Mr.. VIM. A. Pratt, and Senator Mar
tin by Hon. A. G. Gordon. Mr.. Kelley
has fine rich Irish voice and highly
| entertained his audience, who ap-
Iplauded frequently. He spoke OF
Roosevelt as the whole Republican
party, candidate. platform. manager
and all, Roosevelt the Great and Cor
telyou the Little The trust legisIa-
tiOn should not be committed to the
Republican party, 90per cent. of whom
are benefited by the trusts. Mr.. Kelley
spoke an hour and made fine impress
sion.
Senator Martin On rising, was
greeted with long and enthusiastic ap--
plause and made good sound Dem o.
cratic address, delivered with spirit
and force.
He, with impressive argument ex-
posed the unconstitutional and i'm
perialistic policy of Mr.. Roosevelt and
stated that the government was being
surely if slowly transformed from a
republican form to imperial. His in
innate knowledge of the Panama bust
ness enabled him to ventilate the in.
iquitous course of the government in
regard to it. ''There should be Ma.
tiOnal honor and morality and the
trusts have deprived individuals of the
power to make anything out of such
industries as iron, tobacco, SC. The
people are paying largely more tax to
the national government than to the
state and county, a deplorable state
of things.'
The junior senator's speech was
worthy OF better audience. The ''un-
bounded enthusiasm reported in the
great Baltimore and West Virginia
political meetings has not struck us of
The Valley yet. Would not an old fash
Toned country barbecue with some of
Dnr popular speakers get up the Inter
est desired.

1--WE hereby express our continued
confidence in and affection for DIR.
Fraser, and our earnest wish that he
may continue to serve this church and
congregation as pastor. believing that
his departure from us would be, in a
high degree, injurious to our best in

DIR. Fraser cannot decide upon the
flattering call to become coordinate
secretary of the committee until he
meets with the Nashville gentlemen,
but he fears by declining the call,
that the plan of the Assembly will
receive serious check or be entirely
defeated. He expected to return by
Friday or Saturday.

Most arrangements of the kidneys are
due to catarrh of the kidneys. Peruna
is catarrh remedy. This explains
why it is that Peruna cures a great
number of kidney diseases in which
the usual remedies fail.
