A COINCIDENCE.
We are in receipt of copy of the
Record published at West Union, West
Virginia, and another peculiar feat.
ure in addition to the title, is the re-
semblance to this paper in the size
and makeup.
This paper occasionally receives
mail addressed to that paper and vice
versa, which caused each paper to be
come aware of the identity of the
other. We mailed a recent issue of
this paper to our West Virginia dou-
BILE and in few days the paper came
drifting back to its starting point.
We then addressed 1t so there could
be no mistake and it went forward to
its destination, when we received a
copy in exchange.
Like our village, the other West
Union is very old settlement. 1t
was small town in civil war days and
we remember a civil war veteran to
have spoken of the boys in blue shout
ing for Joy when they arrived at that
village hungry and footsore on their
return to their home, by being re-
minded of the capital of old Adams,
their starting point. Since that per-
iod, however, the mineral wealth of
that section has been developed and
the county. Is rich In her oil fields and
coal mines, so that from sleepy
town, West Union has become an i'm
portant industrial city with three
banks, many stores, several manufac-
turies and other industries.-We

HEN WAS ENTERPRISING.
Mrs. w. A. Bryan has been sick for
some months and has been at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harlan Little, for the past three
months. But last week she returned
to her home feeling much better.
About the first thing that greeted
her ears was the chirping of some
young chickens. This interested her
and for time she forgot her all
ments. She began an investigation
at once and found that an indepen-
dent, rely-on.herself sort of hen had
Matched out sixteen chickens. Every
egg had achieved a birth. Considering
the time of year, this particular hen
displayed great enterprise in putting
an extra family to her credit before
the close of the year. Mrs. Bryan will
give the chicks all needed attention,
