One OF the most enjoyable events
that has occurred in this city, in
mauy q day. was tbs golden we'd.
ding Of Capt. w. FL. Keyes and his
wife which was celebrated at their
home on Green Street on the even
ing Of the 26th ult. The event
had been contemplated for several
weeks and cards had been issued
to a large number of relatives and
friends. All IF these who could
do so attended in order that they
might manifest their high regard
for the venerable pair and enjoy
the good cheer which they knew
would prevail on the interesting
occasion. The assemblage was
large and embraced representa-

andvenerated sister Of Capt. Keyes,
Mrs. Louisa Taylor, Of Verona,
whose feeble frame and whitened
locks tell Of the eighty years that
have been allotted to her, down to

this city, an event that gave more

After serving in the harness tor
nearly fifty years, Mr.. Lamar c.
Powell, managing editor of the Daily
West Yirginian, re,ires from actual
newspaper work. He has sold his
stock in the concern back to the

who has been city editor of the ir-
ginian since It was made a daily,
will succeed Mr.. Powell at the head
OF the paper. Mr.. ]. f. Powell will
continue as business manager.
The resignation of Mr.. Powell
loses to the newspaper fraternity of

prominent members.

The only private and family mat
ter of the Journal editor ever intro

story of the Rambler aba his con
version to Republicanism over the
loss of two year old colt and the

his grandfather and as it was all true
and a good story, and we'll worth

The Journal and its gang have
been wanting US to give our plan for
taxation and offer some better sys-
tenn than the one we have criticised
SO much and we propose to do so
as soon as we have space to devote
to the matter. Since September Ist
we have been publishing the land
assessment Of the county at the rate
of two columns per week and that is
all the space we can afford to de-
vote TO the subject. AS soon as we
complete this valuable and impor
ant matter we will take up the SUBJ
ject of taxation and call special at
tention to the defects and lame
places in the present law and offer
some ideas of our own on the sub
ject and features that we consider
an improvement.

In our magazine section this week
we present our readers with some
splendid selections appropriate TO
the Christmas season. There are
stories, poetry and illustrations Of
the happiest holiday time Of the
year Next week we will give you
some matter suitable for New
Years. THE ARGUS has always
kept right up with the times in all
matters without regard 70 expense.
There is one more item in ,his line
We want 10 call special attention TO
and that is that TIE ARGUS does
not take a week of and suspend
publication for holidays like a great
many other country weeklies. On
the contrary we get out a better
paper than usual and give our
reader an extra amount Of good Sc
lect matter and local news and we
want our patrons 70 give Us credit
for il, but not too much credit, as
We prefer more cash.

Poor old Russia is in the throes
of civil war and internal strife.
Disorder and armed strife prevails
everywhere in the domain of the
empire. Troops are rioting and
destroying property and the insur-
gents have proclaimed a. Republic
at Riga. The people are at last
rising and arming against the Aris-
tocracy and the imperial power of
the Government. The war with
Japan has hardly been closed till
warat home breaks out and the
horrors of internal strife are much
more horrible than a war with a
foreign foe.

This week we finish up the land
assessment for Pleasant district and
next week we start in on Grant dis
trict and this will finish up the
county except for some of the in
corporated towns, which will be
given after the districts have been
completed and then we will give a
summary of the whole business,
and that will run us into the new
year considerably and make about
six months since beginning this
important SERIAL. Many people
have been preserving and filing
away every one of these papers for
future reference as they will be
found very valuable some time.
Quite number of prominen. peo-
pie have called on us or written for
the whole series or for some special
issue they had lost or failed to file
away and we have exhausted some
issues, but still have copies of most
of the numbers containing this land
valuation.

We have been wondering what
Bro. Geo. Byrne, of the Gazette,
would do to amuse himself since
Bro. Lamar c. Powell, of the West
Virginian, has retired. Bro. Byrne
was too much for the WestVirglnian
editor in either personal or politi-
cal controversy. His observations
on Powell while a member of the
Legislature was highly enjoyable.

The papers are still full of ac-
counts about the massacre Of the
Jews in Russia and claim that fifteen
thousand men, women and children
were slaughtered at one place over
there during three days of rioting,
rapine and butcheTing in which it is
said the Cossacks led in the bloody
work and were even assisted by the
police whose duty it was to protect
the people. Why the foolish Jews
will persist in trying to live in that
country is more than we can under.

The Knights Of Py,bIas.
Specially Reported For The Argus.

- Monday night. December
~ rs, 1905, is day long to be
10y ~ remembered by the members
@E$$RS Of the local council Knights
AE OF Pythias and those visiting
Knights who were fortunate
enough 10 be present. On this occasion
there we're three candidates for the second
rank and one for the third. After the con-
ferring Of the degree work they then repaired
to Willis's. Place where they enjoyed not
only sumptuous spread which satisfied the
inner man, but also an intellectual feast.
Owing to the absence Of Senator Mont.
gomery, Mr.. John Werlich presided as
POSTMASTER. Mr.. Werlich introduced the
speakers in very graceful and entertaining
manner. The FIRST, Mr.. NJ. c. Gibson, gave
very interesting talk on 'Kuigh,hood, )"
reviewing II from its earliest conception 10
The present day. Mr.. Cyrus Martin gave a
very entertaining exploitation of "Our
Obligations. Mr.. J. +. Craig spoke very
feelingly on the Building of a Pythian
Home for the Care of Widows and Orphans
OF Deceased Knights" J. Slidell Brown
also spoke on the same subject. w. C.
Lavelle spoke on ''rhe Press" A visiting
Knight, Mr.. Fred wiegel. proved to lie the
ace of wit and humor. For twenty minutes
he kept his auditors in an uproar by his
Character sketches All those present will
long remember this treat. We can we'll say
''it was good to have been there" The
following menu was served by Caterer

We are glad to have Bro. James
w. Holt in the newspaper business
again, as he is once more dividing
honors and duties with Bro. Bolden
on the Grafton Sentinel. We knew
that it was coming, as Bro. Holt
had an uneasy and hungery look
about him every time we saw him,
plainly indicating to us that he was
yearning and furnishing for the edi-
torial diet once more and would
not be appeased or satisfied TIL he
had plenty of printing Office pi for
his daily food and the companion
ship of the devil for regular assoc
iation.

The Fairmont West Virginian is
still bemoaning the election of Col.
Thos. B.. Davis to Congress.
While Col, Davis is purely a bust
ness man, we will venture to say if
the occasion should arise, that Col.
Davis could make motion without
first committing it to paper, some
thing Lamar c. Powell could not
do when he was a member of the
Legislature.

The story about Horatio's con-
version to Repnblicanism over the
loss of two year old colt, while in
his teens was given to us by one of
the most prominent and reliable Re-
publicans OF the East Side who has
lived all his life in the neighborhood
where Whetsell was born and raised.
The atoaesaid Republican came
over here and came to our Office on
purpose to tell us all about it. We
also asked other old citizens of that
section about it and they one and
all confirmed the story, so we gave
it away to the Rambler and of course
he could not keep it.

If the Preston county industries
have been assessed at their "true

ringlets claim, then the old farmers
have been assessed at FIFTY times

for this gross injustice, and that
some one is the Machine.

his retirement from the journalistic

kind of an editor to make votes for
