The object OF the murderer could
not have been robbery, as there seems

been dead at least four days. When

The Solo and The Organ.

Solo singing in the churches has be
come a customary and attractive feat
ure of divine worship. No part OF the
service is more enjoyable to "A large
majority of church goers. A single
solo, well rendered, by a good voice,
with heart and soul behind it and in
it, is fruitful means ofgood. There are
several things that spoil its effect,
however, only two of which will be
mentioned here. One is faulty articu-
lation. How few solos have you heard
Of which you could distinguish the
words? This fault is so apparent and
so common that its constant repetition
is amazing. The writer of these lines
once heard Pattie, the great singer.
She sang in Italian. He heard voice
fine, it is true, but its effect was lost
on one eager listener. The same when
a song is rendered in English if the
words are not heard. It's provoking
and disappointing It's time worse
than lost
Another fault lies with the organ
ist 1t seems to be the object OF
the accompanies TO drown out, as far
as possible, the voice of the singer.
This may account for the failure, and
does in many instances, of the singer
to be heard distinctly. Instead of
modulating and toning down the in
strument. and giving the soloist a
chance to he heard, in most cases the
object seems to be to make the accom-
paniment the chief thing, forgetting
that the audience want to hear the
song-its words as well as the voice.
This little criticism is well meant.
Its object is TO call attention to an
apparent defect in beautiful and at
tractive feature of worship in many OF
the churches which can be easily re-
membered, and should be, by all means

FORGED CHECK
FOR $350.00
Mss Ida Haley, Of Bluefe'd,
Gets Draft on w. NJ. Min
ter Cashed-Dismissed

NCl SioICQ ClOilllOct-u
Miss Ida Haley, of Bluefleld, well
known young woman. secured $4,000
on what is claimed was a forged check
last week. She drew draft for the
amount, signing the name of Rev. w
NJ. Minter, the well known lawyer and
preacher, of PocahOntas. The check
was presented at the Bank of Key
stone, drawn on the Bank of Pocahon
tas. and was promptly cashed, but held
up when it reached the Pocahontas
Bank, and quickly discovered to be a
forgery. The woman was arrested in
= Bluefield when $3.50 was found on her
person. She claimed, so it is said,
that Mr.. Minter owed her the amount
as money he had collected for her in a
law suit. which Mr.. Minter says is not
true.
The trial of the case was set for last
Monday, at Northfork. w. Va, but
when the case was called no one ap-
peared against the accused. and the
case was dismissed, SO our informant
says.

my barber shop and I had made up
my mind that under no circumstances
whatever, except maybe little some
thing at Christmas, would l ever, ever
give a cent to the brush boy.
"It was good barber, and I rose

with myself and all the world-to see,
standing there back of the chair in
which I had been so serenely sitting,
the shops brush boy brushing my
hat. AS l stood there he brushed and
brushed it, and then he didn't hand it
to me, but carefully held it further
away, with one hand, while with the
other he proceeded to brush me.
"And too timid to seize my hat and
fee, stood for it, and turned around
for him and let him brush, and-in
short, l fell.

ease, even in the last stages, may be

Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Moore says: "In 1898 three
reputable physicians after careful
examination told me that would die
with Bright's Disease inside of year.
My feet and ankles and legs were
badly swollen; could hardly stand
on my feet and had given up all hopes
of getting cured when a travelling
salesman told me that he himself had
been cured of Bright's Disease two
years before.
He said he had taken to his bed
and expected to die with it, but that
he had been cured by remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 commenced taking them at once
and l am thankful to say that they
saved my life. After a short treat
ment l was completely restored to
good health and am now as sound as
