There is lot of rot talk about the
catalogue houses, among country mer-
chants. If catalogue houses have been
successful, it has been through adver-
Using; and all the country merchants
have to do to offset it and get the bust
ness is to do the same thing, and it's
not necessary to print a catalogue, for
they have their home papers, which go
into every home and Iare read. This
paper is read by an average of 5000
people each week, and the paper sdoes
not meet the same fate as the circular.
The people are not fooled any more, and
the sooner the country merchant con-
tracts for regular space the year around
in the local paper, and makes it part
of his business and advertising his
wares literally, the sooner the cata-
logue houses will go out of business, and
there is no other way to meet it success

MARRIED AND WAS
DESERTED SAME DAY.
Couple From Preston County Married
In Oakland Last Thursday.
GROOM DISAPPEARED SAME NIGHT
Leaving His Bride Without Money
and Among Strangers She Was
Later Sent TO Kingwood, Her
Home.

1t Is an unfrequent occurrence when
a groom deserts his bride almost imme-
diately after leaving the altar where he
pledged fealty and protection for life,
but this was enacted in Oakland last
Thursday, the principals to the broken
vows being residents of Preston county,
West Virginia.
Thursday last a man giving his name
as Chalmers Duval went to the office of
Clerk of the Circuit Court Tower and
made application for a license to marry
woman whose name he stated to the
Clerk was Nancy Mitchell, a resident of
kingwood, and after making satisfacto-
ry answers to the usual questions pro
pounded applicants for license the Clerk
issued the same.
Duval, in possession of the legal doe
uments necessary under the laws of
Maryland before ne could take unto
himself a wife, hunted up a minister
who was soon found and together they
went to the Schley Hotel, where the
ceremony was performed with neatness
and despatch the wedding taking place
about four o'clock,
After supper had been served the
couple in the dining room they retired
to the parlor and later to room assign
ed to them About nine o'clock Duval,
in response to a request of his wife for
a glass of water, left her and went to
the office'of the hotel with the evident
intention of procuring that which she
desired. After remaining in the room
for an hour or more and the groom not
making his appearance the bride called
the proprietor of the hotel and asked
him concerning the whereabouts of her
spouse, stating that the man had on
several occasions threatened to take his
life and informed the hotel man that
when he left the room he had in his pos
session loaded revolver and that she
feared her husband had taken his life
A search for the missing man was i'm
mediately instituted but no clue to his
movements after he left the hotel could
be found.
Friday morning Mrs. Duval conhded
to Policeman White that her name was
not Nancy Mitchell but that it was
Ruth Watson and up to the time she
left klngwood she had been employed
as domestic in the home Of Mr.. P.J.
Crogan, prominent lawer of that
| town. Mr. Crogan was telephoncd to
! and corroborated the statement The
woman also said that Duval had been
! married once before but did not know
whether he had been divorced or not.
While every means has been en-
ployed to locate the recalcitrant groom
nothing has yet been learned concern
ing him Or his movements. Hotel Pro
prletor Frantz has sworn out a warrant
for his arrest charging him with failing
to pay his board bill and if he can be
located and arrested and brought to the
jurisdiction of the Maryland courts a
more serious charge will likely be made
against him.
Mrs Duval was sent to her home Fri
day by Mayor McComas, the groom
having conveniently borrowed her
pocketbook the evening of his disap-
pearance.
