in Randolph. county. was recently bad
ly damaged by hre. The exact age
of the house is not known, but the
who built 1t hrst lived on the
land in 17763as is shown by the rec
ords in the Virginia homestead ONCE
The Tygarts Valley News, printed Mt
Elkfns, thus speaks OF the accident:
What is known as the stone house
of Cheat river was partially destroyed
by fire on the afternoon of August 81.
The IRE started at 1 p. m, There
was no one at home but Mrs. VIII
moth. The present owner. Troy b.
wilmoth, and his sister were at Elk
|lns attending the teachers Institute
at the time. Mrs. Wilmoth ran to a
neighbor's house for assistance, but
found no one at home. She vent On
to the next house, but by the time
they could get to the house the wood.
work had been almost destroyed.
They saved a few things from the.
house, but almost all the household
goods were burned.
The fire caught IN a wooden addt-
tion that had been added to the stone
building. 1t is supposed to have
started from the stove pipe and to
have caught in the roof.
The stone house vas a three story
building made of stone taken from
the river and uncut. 1t was built
nearly a century ago by Thomas VIII.
moth, the great grandfather Of the
present owner, and his son Edward.
Authorities differ as to the exact
date of the building of the house.
Some of the oldest residents of
this section are in dispute about it.
Three of them who are all very Ger
tain they know the exact year have
given the different dates OF 1873, 1916
and 1921. Whoever may be right 1t
has evidently stood a long time
The house has been owned and oc-
cupfed by four generations Of Will
moths. Thomas Wilmoth was sue
ceeded by his son Levi, he was sue
ceeded by his son Baxter, who died
in 1895 leaving the property to mis-
children. The house was used as a
residence by several different famt-
lies until recently it was occupied by
the present owner. Troy Wilmoth.
1t is a very picturesque building as
the stone from which 1t was erected
are of many different colors. It was
one OF the noted landmarks Of the
county.
The stone house has stood the raw
aees of time well. It was struck
by lightning and. badly damaged in
August 81, 1881, just 25 years before
1.-The present catastrophe. 1t vas re-
paired and had shown any Ill
effects from the damage.
IA singular circumstances Connected
with the accident is that both times
It was damaged it was on the birthday
of the former owner, Baxter Wilmoth.
We are informed that the present
owner will rebuild it II it can be done.
We hope it can be restored. as It has
many old friends who would like to
see it rebuilt.

Letter TO Messrs. E. Smith 81 Co.,
Paw Paw, Mich.

Gentlemen: Clothing is just like
paint. 1t fits or it don't; it wears or it
don't; turns weather and water or not;
and goes out of fashion,
What do wear clothes for? Did you
ever think Of it? Different persons
have different reasons, no doubt, but one
paints Devoe for beauty, to be in the
fashion, and keep water.
Fashion says paint; we all paint There
is beauty in paint; we paint a eoo3 deal
for that. And buildings are costly and
fashionable; put.on a waterproof two or
three coats of paint, and your buildings
last as long as you keep them dry. 1t
costs nothing to paint; it costs your
buildings not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; disap-
pointing paints are the paints that cost.
Yours truly

Ms the weeks and months went on
IA the results Of Guilford Dun
I cans work completely justified
a = the confident assertion he had
made to Captain Halam that a capa
bic man can learn anything if he really
wants to.
He rapidly familarized himself with
the technicalities as we'll as with the
methods and broad principles Of bust
ness. He sat up till midnight for many
nights in succession in order to learn
from the head bookkeeper the rather
scant mysteries of bookkeeping. BY
observing the gaugers who measured
coal barges to determine their contents
be quickly acquired skill In doing that.
1t was so with everything. He was
determined to master every art and
mystery that in anywise pertained to
business, whether the skill In question
was or was not one that he was ever
likely to need or to practice.
His diligence, his conscientiousness
in work, his readiness Of resource, his
alert intelligence and his sturdy In
tegrity daily commended him more
and more to the head Of the firm, and
not many months had passed before
every one In the office tacitly recognlz-
ed the young Virginian as the conf
dental adviser and assistant Of Cap
tain Hallam himself, though no formal
appointment OF that kind had been
made.
But no advance of salary came to the
young man as result 1t was one OF
Captain Hallam's rules never to pay a
man more for his services than he
must and never to advance a mans
salary until the advance was asked for.
Captain Hallam was In no fiber Of
bis being miser. but he acted always
upon those cold blooded prudential
principles that had brought him
wealth. 1t was not money that this
.reat captain Of commerce worshiped,
vt success. Success was the one god
of his idolatry. Outside of his bust
ness he was liberal In the extreme.
Even In his business operations he
never hesitated at lavish expenditure
where sucn expenditure promised good
results. But he regarded all unneces-
sary spending as waste, of the kind
that imperils success

The captain understood. After half

Gov. COOLING
OFFERS REMEDY
Will Recommend Railroad
Commission in Message
to Legislature

Washington, Dec. 27-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane, who
has direct charge of ameiorating the
coal and car conditions in the north
west, is in receipt of hundreds OF let
ters from coal dealers and residents
of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming
and Idaho. Some of the writer's go
to the extent of saying that in many
instances freight trains have not passed
| railroad stations for a month or six
weeks and that hundreds and thous-
ands of dollars have been lost to the
farmers and elevator men, particular
ly in North Dakota, by result of their
failure to obtain cars to move the
wheat and flax. -
Commissioner Lane has received
a letter which is a sample OF many
from Cheyenne n. D., which stated
that on November 26 car was billed
from that point and that On the 18th
instant the car was still ON the side
| track and freight train had not pass
ed up or down for weeks.
Gov. Gooding, to whom Commission
er Lane had written for information
relative to conditions in Idaho, states:
The serious trouble. it seems to
me, is the fact that among the trans
portation companies, the one important
consideration in their management is
tAo ScCuIiuS Oh ulVluSuuS without re-
gard to service rendered the people,
The latter consideration is entirely lost
sight Of"
The governor of Idaho informs the
commissioner that he will recommend
the creation Of a railroad commission
in his annual message to the legisla-
ture. ~
Gov. Gooding includes in his letter to
Commissioner Lane copy Of a report
a a he hn {v~~ -
er, Col. Allen Miller, who, after an
analysis Of existing conditions, con-
