Sam Small Converted Again.

A scene which no human pen can
describe faithfully, and which thrilled
and made to tremble $500 souls,
broke forth Tuesday night at the Tor
rey-Alexander meeting, in Atlanta,
Ga, where the revival there in prog
ress has for the past week been sag
ging dangerously near to fatal fall
"a fall which at the last would spell
the ugly and much Stunned word,
Failure"
But the incidents of Tuesday night
turned failure into success and brought
hundreds to conversion. The meet
ing had rather dragged, and though
DR.. Torrey had preached sermon,
which sounded with fearful distinct
ness the warning Of the coming judg-
ment before the bar of God, the call
for sinners to repent found only two
willing to stand up. And after the
solo these two refused to stand again.
Just as DR.. Torrey was about to de-
SPAR a chair was moved back on the
platform and at his side stood Sam w.
Small, every muscle in his body quiv-
ering with emotion, yet when he spoke
his voice was clear and distinct.
"Dr. Torrey," he said, II once &C.
copied Christ, and had the full joy Of
his salvation, but l have drifted far
away, and God knows l need to re-
pent, and, God helping me, | do now
and here repent and tender my life to
him." his head fell on the table in

fenced the house, and in the quiet of
the moment DR.. Torrey said:
"Mr. Alexander, come here and
pray for Sam Small" And from his
seat in the rear Mr.. Alexander came
to the front and, putting his arm on
Sam Small's shoulders prayed. Be-
fore the words of Mr.. Alexander had
died away DR.. Torrey began Praying.
Then tremendous wave Of religious
enthusiasm swept over the meeting.

The estimate that the Board oil
Public Works of West Virginia places
upon the word Of the officers of the
railroads is shown in figures. The
B. & o. Railroad gave in the true and
actual value of its property at ST.
100000. The board promptly placed
it at $8O,OOO,OOO. The Norfolk &
Western submitted as its figures &c.
100000; the board raised them to
$29,OOO,OOO. The Chesapeake & Ohio
gave in 81, 100000; the board made
it $28,OOO,OOO.
This is polite way of calling the
railroad officials liars.

JEFFERSON county has no kick
against the new tax laws. The real
estate of this county was increased
about 60 per cent un er the new assess
ment. The railroads are increased
500 per cent-eight times as much as
the land.
Another feature that will be to our
material interest is that we will only
have to pay our own criminal ex-
penses, which are very light. Here
tofore all criminal expenses were paid
by TIE State, and necessarily we had
to pay snare Of the expenses of the
other counties. If Fayette and Nc
Dowell and Mercer and other wild
and woolly counties wish to continue
their carnivals Of crime they will do
80 at their own expense.
Laying aside politics, the new sys-
tenn ought to suit Jefferson all the
way through.

THE contest for the Republican
nomination for Congress from this
district has narrowed down to two
candidates, Hon. George G. Sturgiss,
of Morgantown, and Hon. N. G.
Keim, Of Randolph county. Ira E.
Robinson and w. G. Conley have
dropped out because they realize that
this is not the year for railroad at
torneys to come before the public.
Tracy L Jefords cant get Jefferson
county this year, nor can John j..
Hetzel control Berkeley. Mr.. Keim,
who has been chairman of the Re.
publican congressional committee, is
one OF the most popular men in this
district personally, and as Senator
Elkins's choice he will be larg ely
supported by the organization and
will have the postmasters and federal
office-holders solid. Mr.. Sturgiss, it
is said, will be actively supported by
the State administration, and Cover
nor Dawsou's friends will stand by
him in the contest.
The contest between Mr.. Sturgiss
and Mr.. Kem will be spirited one,
but after all the nomination may be
worthless II Uncle Tom Davis shall
run again he will sweep the platter.

SICKNESS In SHEPHERDSTOWN.
More Cases of Illness This Spring Than
In Former Years.

An open winter, such as the one
just passed, always leaves more sick
ness than usual in the spring, as the
stomach is overloaded with winter
food that is not needed.
Physicians and druggists say there
are more cases of illness in Shepherds
town this spring than in former years.
Perhaps there is not so much serious
sickness. but spring languor, loss Of
appetite, headaches, sleeplessness,
backaches, weakness and debility, in
digestion and other ills that result
from indigestion or an overworked
stomach, are more common than they
have been for some years past.
This has resulted in an unusual de.
mand for Mi.o-na stomach tablets at
Remnants Pharmacy. Before they
felt that they could recommend this
remedy, they tested it rigidly in
many cases of heartburn, indigestion,
wind on the stomach, debility, and
other troubles that result from a
weakened digestion, with the greatest
success.
In fact, Mi.o.na has been so uni
formly successful in curing all stom-
ach troubles that Remnants Pharua-
cy give signed guarantee with every
50.cent box to refund the money if
it does not cure.
Take one little tablet before each
meal for few days, and you will
soon regain perfect health and strength
and lose all fear Of indigestion or
stomach troubles. Ask Remnants
Pharmacy to show you the guarantee
under which they sell this remedy.

Making it Warm for Mismated Couple.

Threatened with summary punish
ment if they refused to obey. Edward
Collins, white, and his negro wife last
Thursday night left their home, at In.
dian Springs, Washington county,
| Nd, and fed across the Mason and
Dixon Line into Pennsylvania. The
couple were married at Chambersburg,
Pa, several weeks ago, and since their
return to Washington county strong
feeling against them has developed
among their neighbors. Ten days
ago a band of men visited the farm
for the purpose of treating Collins and
his wife to coat OF tar and feathers.
On that occasion, however, they were
driven off by the woman with her re-
volver.
Thursday night man approached
the Collins farm on horseback and
when within hailing distance he warn
ed the couple to leave, giving them
lust 50 minutes in which to prepare
for their flight. The rider told Col
Inns and his wife that band of men
with ropes and lashes were within
calling distance and that if the couple
failed to heed bis command they would
have to take the consequences. The
negress and her white husband plead
ed for more time, but the messenger
said the instructions of the men must
be obeyed.
Reduced to a state Of terror, Collins
quickly saddled pair Of mules, while
the woman packed few of their be-
longings and some food. Mounting
the mules, the couple were soon In full
flight toward Pennsylvania. 1t was
not until they had crossed the line
that they felt safe and sought refuge
at farmhouse. Both were complete
ly exhausted from their trying expe-
rience and long ride.
Friday the Collins woman, who be-
fore her marriage was Nettie Pye,went
to Hagerstown by train and conferred
with Attorney Alexander Armstrong
relative to securing legal redress and
also to secure protection.
