his sentence with a proposition.
1t Is the dearest without doubt;

striving for it, the striver often

ADAM ANGRY
At Democratic Papers For Not Re
cciving Him With Wide
Open Arms.

Senator Adam Littlcpage. who
came here from Charleston to fur
Their his campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor by giving
out an interview that there were dlt-
ferenees between employers and en-
ployees in this State, has twenty.
threed back home, having failed to
cause stampede to his cause. He
IS enraged at some OF the leading
Democratic papers in this section
for not encouraging his campaign
aud in an interview takes a whaelk
at them, charging them with not be-
ing truly Democratic. But. then
Littlepage does not constitute the
whole Democratic party and papers
Of that political faith do not feel II
their duty 10 pick him out and carry
him around on their shoulders as tse
only real Democrat. As the Tele.
gram said Adam went home sadder
but wiser, having failed completely
to arouse the slightest interest in his
candidacy for the Democratic nom.
nation for governor. Facing such
cool reception, Lltlepage will
doubtless lose hope OF receiving the
nomination and will likely retire
from the race before he even gets
fairly in 1t.

ton Grounds. Norfolk. Va. Aug. 81
The handsome edihce of the State
was the scene Tuesday night at $3.50
O'Clock OF the second wedding to take
place within its portals within the
last month. 1t would seem that
West Virginia is to maintain the
reputation established for being the
first commonwealth to have It's
building dedicated with a marriage.
Virginia followed the example set by
the daughter state and two loyal
young residents of the Old Dominion
we're united in wedlock in that struc.
ure week ago. However. West
Virginia bears the distinction of
having taken the initiative In this as
well as many other matters adding
TO the interest of the ter-centennial
celebration.
The principals of this romantic
event we're Miss Anna Mcdonald
Duncan. of waitville, Monroe coun-
ty. and Mr.. Charles Hedrlck, Of
Bramwell. Mercer county. The Rev.
p. S. sailer, of Norfolk, Va, pastor
Of the Christian church, oflciated at
the nuptial rites. Although the
marriage was solemnized an hour or
so after the arrival of the wedding
party at the West Virginia building
everything was arranged in an ar
tistic manner for the suspicious oc-
casion. Mrs. W. A. White, OF Nor
folk. acted as maid of honor. The
wedding group entered the drawing
room to the strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin rendered by
Miss Sylvia Ziebach, of Pottsvllle.
Pa. A modish tailored suit CT
light gray relieved by touches OF
lavender was worn by the bride. She
wore a jaunty white hat and all her
accessories Of dress were white.
A bouquet OF bride roses and
delicate greenery as carried. After
best wishes were extended Mr.. and
nrs. Hedrick refreshments were
served. The bride is the daughter
of Mr.. G. c. Duncan. a prominent
resident of Waitville. She is beau
tiful and cultured and for several
years was a teacher in Monroe
county. Mr.. Hedrlck is widely
known throughout the State, being
a newspaper man OF ability. He
conducts the Coalfeld Enterprise,
which was edited until recently by
his father. William Hedrick. Mr..
and Mrs. Hedrick will spend their
honeymoon at the exposition, after
which they will go to Bramwell.
where they will reside.
