NJ F Y years ago Oakland did not have any Ba
4 - kerry. My start here five years ago was all up
30 hill and although no bakery here except mine, |
found lot of competition the merchants handled bread
from other cities and would pat1onize me, as they
claimed they had confidence in bakers any more This
looked very dscouraging, but ready to give up
put my shoulder to the wheel, and with the eighteen
years of experience behind me, determined to make
success where many had failed and steadily gained
ground from year to year. and instead Of bread being
shipped to Oakland now from other points, the OAKLAND
MODEL STEAM BAKERY sends today it's product all
through West Virginia, far Warrington and gives
universal satisfaction wherever it is introduced.
Oakland today boast of having the ceanest and best
equipped Bakery between Washington and Wheeling and
if my continues will convince the public that
Oakland is good place for manufacturing purposes

entertained very pleasantly at a
Lawn party last evening in COM
p1iment to Miss Mite Dorminy.
Tables were grouped about on
the lawn which Japanese liant.

formed into fairy-like spot for
the time being. Progressive
games were played, and delicious
ices and fruits were served by
the charming hostess, assisted
by Miss Fannie Boyd.
A most attractive feature Of
the evening was the polling of
votes for our next governor
which resulted in 10 for Hoke
Smith and S for Clark Howell.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrd OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. Ifyou are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp"Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scaldiug pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and IS
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells ali about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. XII

offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Birghantou, N. Y, on every
bottle.

FROM ANDREW P. RIvEs.

Men who are prosecuted for
opinions sake arc nearly always
men whose lives are a rebuke to
their prosecutors, and whose
opinions, if doubted, would bet
ter mankind's condition-mak-
ing men know more of their own
responsibility as helpers to their
fellows.
Among the noted heretics who
have suffered for more fully com.
pretending life than their gener-
alton, are Socrates, who was
compelled to drink hem1ock be-
cause he taught the immortality
of the soul and future rewards
and punishments, and the Christ,
who interpreting the Messiah of
the Jews as spiritual ruler who
should overturn the powers OF
darkness and establish unlver-
sal kingdom rather than the tenn
pora1 king who was to restore Je-
rusalem to her pristine beauty.
For Christ, while crucified by
the Romans for treason, was
first condemned by the High
Priest for heresy. (See Math-
ew Goth chapter, 57th to 9th
verses). St. Paul helped stone
Stephen, and was himself con-
demned for heresy. (See Acts
9TH chapter, Acts oath chapter,
14th verse.

ties of the church. Martin Luth-
err and John Calvin escaped
death only because protected by
men high in civil life who had
embraced their doctrines.
Their less fortunate followers
went to execution. Bunyan
went to jail for the same ofense,
and John Wesley escaped be-
cause of the stagnation of religi-
GUS effort in his day.
The Jews of Russia are being
punished for the same offense,
and the massacres of women and
children there are because the
Jews refuse to give up their re-
| ligious belief and join the national
Russian church.
Wherever and whenever the
church stops in its mission of
uplifting men to prosecuting
them for differing from it's stand
ards-a1l of them made by men
she stagnates and does evil in
stead of good.
Gamailiel, Pau1's instruc tor,
was a wise man. Had his adj
vice to the Sanhedrin been al
ways needed, the mission of
Christ would have been nearer
accomplished. Here it is I'VE
men of 1sreal, take heed to your
selves what ye intend to do as
touching these men. Refrain
from these men and let them
alone; for if this counsel, or work,
be of men, it will come to
naught; but if it be of God We
cannot overthrow it; lest hap1y
ye be found even to fight against
God" (Acts 5, Gath to 10th
verses).
