LAID TO LAST REST
IN LOOT. CEMETERY
Is Body of c. b. Smith, Who Died of
Tuberculosis Sunday At His
Home on Sycamore Street.

The funeral of G. B. Smith, of
Sycamore street, took place Monday
afternoon at 8 O'clock. Services
were held at his late home led by
the Rev. D. L. Reid, OF the Southern
Methodist church, and the Rev. DR..
S. X. Arbuthnot. of Con Methodist
church. and the burial followed in
the I. o. o. F. cemetery.
Mr.. Smith died Sunday morning
at O'Clock after lingering illness
with tuberculosis. He was AZ years
of age and is survived by his wife
and three children. For some time
he was engaged in the meat and
grocery business in the West End I'M
til his declining health forced him TO
give 1t up. A large number of
friends are made sad by his untimely
death.

The Road Inspector.

The office of the state inspector Of
highways, created at the last session
Of the Legislature. has been opened
at Charleston, with Inspector Howard
E. Williams In charge.
This promises to be an important
department of the state government
and should prove itself one OF the
most helpful and valuable. 1t grew
out of the agitation all over thu
State for good roads. OF which West
Virginia has very few.
One Of the first acts OF Inspector
Williams will be to compile the road
laws OF the State, which will be is-
sued in pamphlet form. This is
deemed necessary owing to the fact
that the road laws are not generally
known or understood, but after the
issuance of this publication there will
be a general knowledge of the sub
iect.
Another excellent feature will be
the Inspectors close touch with all
the road surveyors. county courts,
boards of trade and city and town
councils. While he will have no con-
troll over any of these, yet there can
be effective cooperation and the
State will derive complete knowledge
of the needs of West Virginia as to

Hubbard Should Get 1t.

The splendid reasons advanced by
the Wheeling Intelllgencer why
Congressman w. n Hubbard should
succeed Captain b. B. Dovener on
the river and harbor committee Of
the house Of the national congress
as follows, are most heartily indors-
ed by the Telegram. and there Will
I've grave mistake. II he is not so
appointed:
THE Hon. VIM. p. Hubbard, con-
gressman-elect from this district.
should succeed Captain Dovener on
the river and harbor committee. Mr..
Dovener held a place as member
on this important committee not only
because of his fitness, but for the
additional reason that he represented
in congress a great industrial dis
trict, vitality interested In the gov
ernmental work of improving the
Ohio river.
The First congressional is es-
sentially on Ohio river district. Five
of its eight counties, all teemlng
with commercial activity. border this
great waterway.
THE reasons that secured for
Capt. Dovener his appointment on
the river and harbor congressional
committee, apply with equal force to
Mr.. Hubbard. The new congressman
from the First district, besides be-
ing a great lawyer, is a man of un-
usual business acumen. Possessed
with remarkable energy. forceful in
his personality, intensely interested
in river improvements, Mr.. Hubbard
is unusually qualified for this work.
The First district, pre-eminent In
manufacturing, calls for his selec.
ton as a member of the river and
harbor committee. The country at
large will be the gamer IL 1t is
made"
Speaker Cannon knows West vir-
GINA pretty well and it is the belief
that 1t is only necessary to call his
attention to this matter to guarantee
Mr.. Hubbard's being appointed on
that committee. There will be a
good deal of surprise II he does not
so include Mr.. Hubbard in the list OF
his committees.

had but little patience with the

result the rash and. undignifed and

These few disappointed power

vantage Of the fact that he received
but a small majority in the recent
senatorial contest in his State and
seek to humlllate him by taking the
house leadership from him. There
is a hope. however, that the Demo

Money for Brides.

In order to promote marriage
there is the idea advanced to form
great national scheme to present
every labor union bride with dow
ry of five hundred dollars. There
is some hesitation, however, lest tha
men object to the plan. but this Is
doubtless a false idea. Both will
get married whether there is mon
ey inducement or not and it is not
usual for either to reject the oppor-
tunity to get money. whether 1t he
free or not. Besides. those who are
