The people of Tunnelton we're
shocked last Friday by hearing that
the wife of George McGinn;s, of
this place, was dead at the hospital
at Keyser. Appendicitis was the
cause of her death. The remains

and two children.
SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Baptist Sunday school at the
hall, as some of them call il, will
have not only an old-fashioned
Christmas tree, but will also have
something new and more interest
ing-a grand cantata entitled, ga
Bundle Of Sticks" Our good old
Baptist, /. r. Barber, is at the head
OF 1t and Is doing his best to make
1t a success. A small admission OF
as cents will be charged to meet the
hall expenses, etc.
After the performances they vii!
have good old-fashioned Xmas
tree, and every Baptist Sunday
school scholar and others will ge,
candy and presents from the tree.
The treat will come out of the funds
OF the Sunday school treasury, and
not be gwen by subscriptions like
others. The Sunday school com
mittee appointed F. E. Peterson to
get the tree down on the river. Pete
was good old Baptist last year
and is yet, guess.
The Sunday school decided tc
have 1t on Christmas night for fea
something else might happen tn,
night previous. Be sure and come
every body, for there will be lots o,
music by the new Tunnelton bAns
and orchestra. You cannot affore
to miss 1t.

No doubt the Journal imagines
that since it secured the services
of the soldier of fortune it will
have clear sailing, but in due
course of time it will discover that
it has been INDUCING in pipe
dreams. We will give the soldier

been our pleasure to present the

Call In, Brethren.

The editor of THE ARGUS hopes
the Democratic brethren when
they visit the county seat will
drop in and see him. We want
TO get acquainted with the Demo-
Gratis of Preston county and con-
fer with them on political matters
and everything else pertaining to
the upbuilding of our county. We
believe in the age of progress and
think Preston should be right at
the head of the procession, both
politically and industrially. AS
we have always occupied a posi-
ton as private in the ranks of
the Democratic party we therefore
have no inside knowledge of what
is termed cliques, rings, machines,
such as control the destinies Of the
dominant political party in Pres
ton and West Virginia.
THE ARGUS is published in the
interest of the pcople-the COM
mon people, if you please-and
for this reason it is more than anx-
ious to meet the rank and file of
the party and receive suggestions
from them. Because THE ARGUS
is published in the "banner Re-
publican county" of West Virginia
is no reason why it cannot succeed
if given that support by the PEG.
pie who think as it does that the
time has come when the people
should have a voice in the selec-
ton of their public officers.
So far we have no reason To
complain, as our subscription list
is growing daily and we are stead.
lily forging to the front as the lead
ing newspaper in Preston county.
If there is any one who doubts
this let him get out amongst the
people and inquire.
We repeat, we want all those
who are with us in this political
battle to call in. The latchstring
is always out.

No change need be made in your

This mixture, writes one authority
ina leading Philadelphia newspaper,

kidneys; cleansing the clogged.up
pores Of the eliminative tissues, fore.
ing the kidneys to slft and strain
from the blood the uric acid and
other poisonous waste matter, over

gradients since the first announce.
ment 10 the newspapers last October
stated that the people who once try

who have urinary aud kidney irou-

The druggists in This neighbor.
