Obituary.

Thomas, at his home in Mason
county, w. Va. May 3. 1906. Bro.
Hugh Thomas. aged Is years 1
month and s days.
Brother Thomas was born in
Mason county, ". Va, March "a,
1888.
He came to bis death by an ao-
cident, while at the barn feeding
the stock. Brother Hugh was a
young man of sterling character,
having been converted in February
1905, when he WAS also baptised
and united with the Mt. Moriah
"a. q. church. He has since been
an active worker in whatever he
found to do. He has alec fulfilled
the commandment with PROMISE"
slways honoring bis parents in his
every day life. His death was q
great shock to the community and
very soon the sad news was sent
over the wires TO lowe, where three
of his older brothers occupy pro-
minent positions Prompted by
sffection for the younger brother
and also to comfort as much as
possible their bereaved parents snd
sisters, they were soon aboard
Nahum's chariot" and returned to
their childhood's home to find it
draped with the embIems of SORROW
and death.
Oh. how sad was the meeting ss
we write our sympathy goes out
toward them and We long for the
time when death will be no more,
and "the ransomed of the Lord
shall return, and come to ri IN with
songs. and everlasting joy upon
their hesds." when Gods people
shall obtain JOY and gIadness, end
sorrow and sighing shall flee away"
Funeral services were conducted
by the writer, at Mt. Moriah A. G.
chnrob. where words of comfort
were offered, based upon the Scrip
ture record in Luke 7:12.15; after
which a procession of thirty-eight
vehicles. besides many horsemen
and some or foot followed the
hearse to the Letert cemetery.
where our brother rests awaiting
the Life Giver's call. q

MEN AT THE PLoW.

Just thought in recognition
of a fellow who seldom gets into
the newspaper. He doesn't make
much news. He knows mighty
little about the "city ways" of
making money. lie has a fine
liking for clean financial meth
DDS and hearty scorn for all
that is crooked. Perhaps it is his
manner of living that makes
him want to be honest. Let that
man see a problem play, one of
those things that serve to satisfy
the jaded appetite of metropoli-
tan people, and you'll find a
splash of red on his tanned cheek
and will wonder how it is posi-
BILE for women to be present
Tell him about bribery and stock
Ijobbing and franchise stealing
and few OF the thousand forms
of gouging the public and you
will jar his faith in the natural
goodness of humanity.
Just now this type of good
American citizen is following a
plow. 1t is hard work. If puts
a big ache in the back and call
GUS on the hands. 1t destroys
the complexion. 1t calls for
brown overalls and perspiration.
The man is happy in his work.
He whistles as he trudges along
in the furrow. He clucks to the
horses and finds joy in the free
dom of his life. He doesn't GO
into raptures over green fields,
singing brooks and songs OF
birds. They are part of his
environment. They are routine
but he loves them just the same,
But he feeds the world. He
makes existence possible. He is
tho head of the procession in
which are marching the doctor,
the lawyer, the banker, the idler
lie is the fountain head of wealth
and prosperity. He is the credi-
or of humanity.

England is now building for her

having decided to name t5eir sec

Lucky Farmer.

The farmer. if be only knew it,
is little nearer the kingdom of
heaven than anyone on earth. He
is certain of three equare meals a

fence himself in and live. in spite
of the rest of mankind. A few
cattle and sheep and fowl provide
him with food and clothing. while
his fields yield him -four and 8

DEEPWATER.
Road is Owned by Rogers New
Record Made in Railroad Build

The mystery of the Deepwater
railroad, building through the two
Virginias, is nc longer such. The
rumors that this mysterious rail
road was the property of Henry II.
Rodgers has been verified The
building of this great steel bighwsy
has attracted little outside atten-
tion despite it's Importance. Fer
instance. it is not generally known
that 5 600 men are daily at work in
West Virginia in the building of
the Deepwater & Tidewater Rail
road which is being constructed
between the New River and Poca-
hontas GOAL fields to Norfolk,
Va, distance of about 400 miles
About 81, 100000 is being expend.
ed every month in this oonstrUc-
ton.
1t took the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad thirty years, backed by the
state of West Virginia and Collie
P. Huntington. to GROSS the Ap-
palaohian range. and it took the
Baltimore & Ohio about as long,
but the Deepwater & Tidewater
railroad, being backed by Henry
a Rogers. expects to accomplish
this feat in three years time.
1t is expected that the line will
be completed by December 1. 1907
at cost of $20.OOO,O0O or $4,000
per mile and the most remarkable
thing about the whole enterprise ie
the fact that to date not bond or
certificate of stock has been
Issued, and outside banking inter.
ests have not been called upon to
t. contribute a dollar of financial
assistance.
TIE building of this railroad if
probably thu most remarkable en-
gineering feat in railroad construc
ton since the building of the trans
continental roads Rcross the SieIre
Nevada Mountains. 1t is the first
great new trunk line construction
in the United States for many
years. It is the only trunk line
that has ever been projected to run
from starting point to destination
without the elightest reference to
towns and cities in the interior.
Throughout it's entire length there
will be no grades more than z 1 2
feet to the mile excepting 8 milee
across the Alleghenies where there
is a msximum grade of % feet
This road is probably destined TO
be the greatest coal carrying road
is existence. 1t should be the great
est measured by low cost of trans
portation and economy in opera
tion.
There has been several surveys
made for this read down the lower
side of the Kanawha river from St
Albans to Henderson. At Hender-
son, just fcross the Kanewha from
this place is where the road expects
to bridge the Ohio river.

YOUNG'S REPR|MAND
IS MADE PUBLIC
Remissness Especially Bad on
Account of Previous Bril-
liant Service.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3-Although not
sentenced to public reprimand. there
was made public today the reprimand ad-
dressed by Secretary Bonapartc to Com
mander Lucien Young. who was In com
mand OF the Bennington at the time that
vessel suffered an explosion of her boiler
last summer.
Commander Young was tried by court
martial and convicted of rcmIssness OF
duty, In that he failed TO sign the smooth
steam log of the Bennington.
After quoting that portion of the navy
regulations outlining the duties of a com
manding officer. the Secretary says:
Include the Example.
These duties include the obligations Of
n good example to all subject to author
lty. these responsibilities incur a share
In the blame incurred by any among the
latter who may be led TO think lightly of
their own duties because they seem to
think lightly OF his.
I'm your case, sir, there was the great
careful to comply in letter and spirit with
every provision of tho regulations, be-
cause your brilliant services in the past
and your merited reputation for seaman
failure on Your part to do all that an
officer should do the more subversive OF
true principles OF discipline among young
er members of your profession.
Cause Of Regret
"a bad example upon the part OF one
OF your previous record Is exceptionally
injurious TO tho vital interests of the
service. and 1t Is. therefore, the cause of
profound regret TO the department that
should have been thus judicially estab-
lished."
