OBITUARY.
Charlie Board, of Mason County
Died March 23rd. 1905.


Onoe more we are brought to the
realiz atoms of the fact that death
takes from our associations those
who are near and dear to us at an
hour when we are least expecting
it. 1t was but recently that our
dear cousin, Charlie Board, went
to Cincinnati to the Hospital where
he thought he would return home
we'll. but alas! only to be brought
back corpse. Little did he real
ize when he bsde his wife and dear
children good by that he was going
away never to return to them again
in this peaceful and loving home.
At IL O'Clock Thursday, March %,
God saw fit to call his spirit hence.
On, the sadness that fills that
house. He was devoted husband
add sSaipd father. He brough sun
shine % those whom he met. He
leaves wife and two children.
father and mother. three brothers
and two sisters to mourn his death.
May they put their trust in Him
who doeth all things we'll. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev
Ovens aud his remains were inter
red in the Old Town cemetery.
May wife and children put their
trust in Jesus, and when they are
done with this world they have the
assurance that they will join hands
with husband and father in the
world that knows no cares and
heartaohes.
He has gone we could not keep him,
Though it made our,eyes grow dim,
And our hearts acheawith sadness,
When we said farewell to him.
Farewell, Charlie, till we meet you,
In that land so bright and fair,
We'll be happy, wen be happy,
Wen be happy over there.
He has crossed the river,
He is with the angels now,
He has laid aside earth's burdens,
And the-crown is on his brow.
He is clothed in clean white linen,
And he walks the streets of gold,
oh, loved one safe forever,
Within the Savior's fold.
No sorrowing thought can reach thee
No grief is thine to-day,
God gives thee joy for mourning,
He wipes thy tears away.
He is waiting in that city,
Where the holy angels wait.
And when we cross the river,
We shall see thee at the gate

POINT PLEASANT MASON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA WEDNESDAY, API


There is no time like the present
If we would only stop and think;
Tis the charm that makes pleasant
When life seems its brink
For the past is sweetly sleeping,
Never more to wake again,
To cheer the ones that are weeping
Ger the ruins aOld Time has slain.
And the future, like curtain,
Hides from thatsomber hue
That makes life to uncertain
ofthe joys beyond our view.
So let the present find US
With hearts, hands and will
Up against the task assigned US,
Plodding straight way up the hill.
For if we. have one good intentions,
Never dropit by the way
IF we work we'll find ascension
For our labors "some sweet day.
Then be of cheer my brother,
Do all you to day;
Lend hand to another,
1t will help you on your way.

1t is explained that the train is
moving at a rate of twenty eight

A train one mile long starts from
the station at Glady The engine

OLD TOMBSTONE.
It Was Over the Grave of John W
Guthrie, Member of the
Border Rangers.


Huntington Advertiser.
Rather unusual discovery was
made Tuesday morning by work
men employed upon the site for
the next hotel building on Fourth
avenue.
A block of apparently ordinary
stone was turned over in the lot
upon which the Wilcoxen building
stapde. and, when examined. was
found to be tombstone.
The inscription upon the stone
is quite plain and reads as follows:
Jacksonville
Dec. II, 1861,
"John w. Guthrie,
Mason County Va,
''Age % years.
"Deoeas d was member of Com
pany E. Border Rangers, Eigth
Virginia Cavalry.
Beloved by his company for de-
bortment as a gentleman, and his
bravery as a soldier. his loss is
deeply deploEed By all while his
resting place shall be eyer treasur:
ed in the memory of his friends
THE storm which RACES now shall cease
A calm shall follow ere tits long;
This wicked strife will end in peace
And then thr name shall end in song
The discovery of this old tomb
stone has revived the belief that a
graveyard once existed about the
site of the new hotel. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago, a
tomb t,ne was discovered by men
at work on the RICKETTS, building,
but the inscription could not be
made out.

CHARLEY REYNOLDS
A Short sermon on Intsmpsranoe.
The Cause and Cure of It.


Charley Reynolds, of Roanoke,
Va, was splendid good fellow a
few years ago.
He could take a drink or let it
alone a few years ago.
But for a few years he did not
let it alone.
Then for a few years he could
not let it alone.
For a while Charley Reynolds
was a good fellow when sober.
But for long While Charley
Reynolds was almost always
drunk.
When he did get sober he was
completely unneryed, depressed
and suffering that most horrible
of all tortures-the remorse Of
conscience.
Last Thursday Charley Rey-
nolds blew out his brains in Rom
ceverte as the result of a drum
ken spree.
Reader, drinking whiskey is
just as dangerous as going up IN
a balloon. You can go up in a
balloon once, yes twice or Q dozen
times, but If you will just keep it
up you will get killed. There
never was that man born that
was not better off without whis-
key, as a beverage, than he was
with it. There never was that
man born who could drink whis
key and stay sober. There never
was that man born who did not
drink whiskey at his pefil.
Drunkenness is responsible for
more woe and misery and wretch
edness than any other curse to
which the human family is sub
jected.
T War has its redeeming features;
drunkenness has none.
This is the truth and no man on
earth can contradict it.
Temperance quacks and fanat-
les hack at the saloon. But if
you are a real believer in tenn
perance, reader, cut out the liquor.
The true way to preach reform is
to reform yourself.
King Solomon said: aRebuke
the wise man and he will love
thee. Butreprove not the ecorner
or the fool lest he hate thee"
Therefore, these adominations|
are for the wise man and not for
the fool.

EXTINCT

Three Million Years.

Three Million Years.
The human race will be extinct
on this earth in the course of few
million years, according to Prof.
Samuel Williston, professor of pal
eontology at the University of
Chioago. While leoturing on the
future of the earth's inhabitants
Professor WiIliston declared that
in his opinion, instead of men at
this future date, which he told the
students would not come for some-
thing like 100000 years. the
earth will be dominated by birds.
ut will only be natural course
of events that will ultimately brive
man from the dominant sphere on
earth" said Professor Williston.
"First came the fishes. They were
dominant for while and had to
give way to the amphibians. Then
came the reptiles. and soon they
yielded to the animals. Now the
animals are weakening and the
newest olas-the birds-is growing
in prominence, and in time. 1 sim

There is not a sillier or more
disgusting habit than the use of
profane language. In the first
place, profanity serves no good
purpose; some men say they

that those men use profanity to
blow off steam. Any other Ian

Monday. March 27tG, 1905.
William Harrison Beiler was
born in Giles County Virginia.

!! ancestors were OF Holland

tiers of New York. His mother
was a cousin to the elder Harri-
son, President of the United
States.
He grew to manhood in Giles

of the Civil War opposed seces-'
sion, and was loyal, to the old.
flag, but was conscripted into the
liconfederate army, where be heE-
we'd with bravery and valor till.
captured and taken to Camp
Morton at Indianapolis, where
he remained during the last IA
months of the war as prisoner.
When peace was declared he
accepted the result as a brave
soldier always does and settled
down to the peaceful pursuits he
had followed before the breaking
out of hostilities. In 1872 he
came with his family to this
county, setting in Union District,
where he lived during the re-
mainder of his life.
He was an evangelist of the
Christian Church for thirty years
and was always Jealous and earn
est in the Masters cause, unspar-
ing in denouncing sin wherever
found, and equally ready to ap-
plaud a noble action no matter
who did it.
He was of a retiring DISPOSE
ton and had no ambition for
worldly honors or fame, but at
different times he was drawn
from his retirement and served
his neighbors as a member of the
Board of Education of Union
District. He also acted as deputy
Sheriff of the County one term.
These offices were always accept
ed under protest, and he was
always glad to retire to private
life at the close.
He was twice married, and
leaves q wife and eleven sons and
daughters to mourn their loss,
as well as large number of
friends all over the county.
When he realized that life was
ebbing to its close, his old un-
ostentatious simple spirit ASSERT
ed itselfin his last directions as
to his funeral services. He asked
that there be no other. funeral
services over his body than sim
ply sing the hymn, Nearer my
God to Thee," and repeat the
Lords Prayer over his grave.
This was done reverently and
with love. and he was laid to rest
among the scenes he loved SO
well.
Thus closes brief record of a
noble life filed with deeds of
kindness and love, that will be
remembered long after the rains
and sunshine of the summers
shall have covered his grave with
green, and as we write comes to
mind text often quoted by him
in his lifetime from the Book he
loved and revered more than all
others: SIN the volume of the
Book it is written, Behold 1
