tried to run TO his home. but when
he arrived at the house he was so
badly burned he only lived short

An Old Soldier Passes Away.

Mr.. jackson Spurlook, of Leon,
Mason county, w. Va, passed
from this earth Saturday. April %,
1906. at 4 p. m. aged 66 years,
month and % days. He died OF
a complication of diseases. The
greater portion of his life has been
spent in the service of God. He
was a member of the M E. Church
and passed from this world in
faith, believing in God. He said
he was ready to go. and that he had
the peace of God in his heart. He
was soldier of the Civil War, be-
longed to Co. K. 7th w. Va.
nifty, and was a good citizen
He leaves wife and children
and a number of relatives and
friends to murn his loss.
His funeral was preached Sunday
at 4 p m, by Rev. o. j Baker at
the Baptist Church and his remains
were laid to rest in the Sullivan
Cemetery. We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
a place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the spoils that death has won
We could all, this seldom meeting
Calmly say, Thy will be done.
Though cast down we're not forsaken
Through Affections not alone;
Thou didst give and thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
Sad, indeed, it is to part
With one we loved so dear;
But the thought that we shall meet
him
Is a thought that is dearer still.
And row the family chain is broken,
Another link is missing now;
But we know it was God who did it
And to His will we all must bow.
Asleep in Jesus, far from thee,
Thy kindred and thy friend may be,
But that is such blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to
weep.
Dear wife, weep for him no more,
Prepare to meet him on the other
shore;
Where sad farewells are never spoken
And loving hearts are never broken.
A FRIEND.

are not paid, except the secretary

May Name Judge Jackson

Efforts have been made by the

for some time to induce Judge
John J. jackson. who recently re-
signed from the Federal bench,
after serving over forty five years
as judge, to accept a nomination
, for the house of delegates. 1t is
stated. as coming from a close
friend of Judge jackson, that he
will accept the nomination if it is
given to him unanimously.
Even though the candidate of 8
minority party. he would undoubt-
eddy be elected by large majority
In many counties of the State
the papers of both the great par

usual attention be paid the nomin
alton of C Indicates for both the
senate and house of delegates.
This is sound advice and german
to the situation. We know to our
sorrow that it has been customary
in West Virginia to nominate and
even elect men not at all fitted for
these responsible positions. The
awakening comes late. it is true.
but the idea is a welcome innovs-
ton, and with both Democrats
and Republicans cooperating there
should be distinct improvement
in the personnel of the coming
legislature. That body will have 3
number of problems before it of
unusual Impotence, and it is,
therefore, time to Iut the very
best men in Office.
