Pocahontas county, W. Va, and a
woman of exceptional character and
christian virtne. She was about 40
years of age, and her death deprives a
family of young children the eldest of
whom is about IA years of age, the
youngest an infant, of the care guild
ance and motherly influence of one of
the best and most devoted of mothers.
The funeral took place on Thursday
from Bickle & Hamrick's undertaking

To my manly form they chung?
New err mind that sleeve that's empty,
Let it dangle loose and free,

Cheer up, Mary, sakes alive!
I'm just going out paradin'
With the boys of 80
Soon We'll all be paradin', Mary,
In the land beyond the stars,
On that bright celestial shore,
With the good old stars and bars.
But before we go, Mary,
Well meet the boys once more,
And practice for paradin'
On that bright and shining shore.'

support. The home team made several
costly and losing errors or the game would
have resulted in tie. The visitors were
unable to score until the third inning
The score then stood to 0 in, favor OF the
homo team. The A. and M. team scored
