Last Wednesday evening the local

about one mile west of Manowp,
caused by the breaking of a flange.
The passenger tram going west W, S
held at Manown from $50 until
about s O'Clock that night.
On Tuesday morning of last
week quite gu accident occurred at
the Sidwell siding, near Manown.
Some OF the mill hand were en-
gagged hauling logs from this siding
to the mill on a tram road. AT this
point the grade is very steep. Two
horses were hitched In front of the
truck, which was loaded with heavy
logs. The track onseitheI side be
ing blocked with cross ties rendered
it impossible to use the brake lever.
1t started down the grade very
rapidly, throwing both horses. One
of the horses was so badly injured
1t had to be killed. The other es-
capped without any serious injury.
MIR. Sidwell has lost three good

BIG DEAL CLOSED.
The Kingwood Supply Company Will
Change Hands Monday.

The Kingwood Supply Company,
the largest mercantile establishment
in Preston county, will change hands
Monday. E. M. Williams, repre-
senting a company composed of
some of Kingwood's best business
men, has contracted with the own
ers OF this concern and will begin TO
invoice next week.
This is one of the biggest financial
transactions that has taken place for
some time, something like sac, 900

mercantile business, they deal ex-
tensively in grain and hay.
We understand Mr.. Williams will
assume the general management Of
the business and, with the strong
company which he represents, we
bespeak for the new firm not only a
continuance but an increase of the
business always enjoyed by this pop
ular establishment.

Bladder troubles almost always result

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent 1t
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
In six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of 1t in the pocket Of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got 1t back four
years ago. He sent 1t to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since. and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent 1t entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times OF sickness
