up our pencil to Jot down the hap
penings of our town and vicinity.
that our good kind friend the aged
aud much loved wife of Rev. VIM. E..
George, has been called to her re-
ward, leaving a devoted husband and
four children surviving her, viz. The
ophOlis, of Barton; Hon. A. Fredirck,
of near Swanton, who is the efficient
and trusted Rural Route Inspector
for the Postoffice Department; Mrs.

is in Ohio, gets here in time. A more
extended account of this sad bereav-
ment by way of tribute to this good
woman will appear later.
The severe storm of the past week
has so completely blocked the roads
that our coal te&msters can only get
to the Tower mines for coal. We are
! glad that our citizens are patronizing
this mine. as Mr.. Tower has guaran-
teed his coal 20 be as gooG, as the
Sharpless or George Creek coal and
should be patronize for his enterprise
in helping develop the resources of
our own community.
Pauline, the much loved chile of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. Jones, still fingers,
lowering between life and death, but
the attending physicians have hopes
of her recovery, with proper care, all
of which she will get by two of the
most devoted and loving parents
that any child can have in this world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones have been com
mented upon for years For their de
yotion to all their bright and intelli-
gent children.
Rev. Percy W. Metheny is conduct
ing his series of meetings in the NJ. f.
church and they are well attended
by all our people regardless of the
severe storms of winter, but as yet
| no seeming impression made as to a
future life, but to our young brother,
we will say, don't be discouraged, for
earnest appeals to the Goddess will
bring the desire of your heart for
like bread cast upon the waters, it
will return after many days.
Rev. E. Manages, of the Lutheran
church, attended the services in the
Methodist church on Sabbath night
last, and cancelled his own appoint
ment out of respect to this demonina-
ton, who so kindly gave way to him
two weeks ago. This is the kind of a
spirit that should exist among all de-
nominations. Let fraternity be the
watch word among true christians
and the walls of sectarianism will be
broken down.
Our good trends, Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. w. Hennen, of this place, talk
of leaving the first of April, much to
the regret OF their many friends, who
have in the past two years learned to
love every member of this noble and
cultured family. Mr.. Hennen owns
fine home in Keyser, and as he
can't get good tenant or disposed
of his property and having the ad-
vantage of better schools at Keyser,
and all of their relations living there,
being among the best and most prom
inent of that progressive town, we
can't blame him when we consider
the Hon. Frank Reynolds, Doctor
Thomas West, Mr.. Obed Babb, his
brothers -in-law, and his aged mother,
who makes her home among her
children of that place, principally at
| the beautiful home of DR.. West.
Mr.. John l.. Fitzwater, OF North
Glade, near Beckman, just came up
to his father-in-law's owing to the
death of Mrs. George. His wife was
with her mother during all her sick
ness and is one of the most devoted
and loving daughter, that an aged
mother could have.
| Mrs. p. M. Stemple. of Morgantown,
W. Va, accompanied by her daugh-
ter, Miss Minnie, assistant teacher in
the Oakland school, arrived in this
Pace Yesterday and are visiting their
many relatives. We wish them a
pleasant sojourn among the scenes
of other days when they called Deer
Park their home, and where they
can look out and see the snow capped
great Backbone Mountains, and all
nature wrapped in its fleecy blanket
of snow, so different from their adopt
ed home on the Monongahela waters
in the "West Virginia Hills"
