Postmaster Kills Himself.

Bruce Blue, postmaster at Grafton
for almost five years, suicided at ?
O'Clock Tuesday morning by blow
ing off the side of his face with a
shotgun. His sister, Mrs. Slime, who
kept house for him, went to the
room after hearing the report, and
although the man lived for two hours
he could not speak and was only
partly conscious. He was between
SIS and 90 years Old. His wife died
OF consumption some time ago, and
he had but recently learned that his
son, of whom he was very fond, was
probably suffering with the same dis
ease. This son was away from home
when the tragedy occurred.

Having Pun with The Colonel.

From a Cumberland paper of this
week we note that they have been
having some fun down there out of
our own Col. Bill Lavelle. There
was a performance at the Academy
of Music in which Raymond, the
celebrated magician, did some won
derful stunts and here is where the
Colonel comes in:
AT the conclusion of the. perform
ance in response TO RaYmond's chsl-
lenge, a committee, consisting of
Mayor King, Elk Sheriff Casey, Col.
VIM. ]. Lavelle, Officers Fisher, Orr,
Williams and Rigger, and Mr.. Du.
gang, of Hagerstown, went upon the
stage, armed TO the teeth with all
sorts and kinds of handouts, prison
manacles, leg irons and various other
restraining devices. Raymond made
good his claims in every way.
Manacled, s~hackeled and hobbled
like a medieval slave, he easily es-
capped and laughlngly returned the
irons. While the audience wildly
cheered and applauded. The best
thing in the whole show, however,
was the "Trip to Spookville," which
concluded the show. Col. VIM. +.
Lavelle desired TO see how it was
done, so at Raymond's invitation
he entered the canopy with the
~"spooks." Just what then occurred
no one seems able to tell, but pam
demonium reigned supreme for a
moment or two, when our own Col.
Chilly" was seer to emerge from
the canopy looking as if he had run
up against the tail end of a Kansas
cyclone.
The audience shouted, cheered
and laughed until they cried. 1t
was the funniest thing ever seen on
the stage of the Academy.

KINGWO0D, TAKE WARNING

We have repeatedly urged
the necessity of a system of
water works for Kingwood,
not only for the convenience
and good of our citizens, but
for the incalculable benefit
it would be in case of fire.
Our sister t~own-Tunnel-
ton-had quite a fire a short
time ago and her citizens at
once held meetings and talk
ed water works. That's all.
THEY TALKED. Last week
the handsomest building in
the county was completely
destroyed by fire and the
pride of Tunnelton and her
only redeeming feature is a
mass of charred rubbish.
Is Kingwood going to pur-
sue the same policy? Are
we to wait till half the town
is reduced to ashes before we
; act? For PHYS sake get a
move on! DO SOME
THING! Don't be moss
|, backs all your life. Don't
have every little jim-crow
town in the country giving
us the laugh and saying,
! "Oh! They're a set of dead
|, ones"
