THE NEWSPAPER .sPIRlr.n

The Warrington Record In comment
ing on a dispatch in the West Virgin,
ian Saturday relative to the high wat.
ers Of Buffalo creek and that the Rec.
ord might not get out says:
But the paper got out after a fash.
ion, although the deck was wet and
the swirling waters swished on all
sides as only raging, angry food can
swish and swirl.
The women members OF the stat.
left under protest and as the boat left
the door of the Daily Record Office
bearing them to the main land they
shouted above the roar of the waters:
Send word If you want us to come
back" ~.
But the men wore rubber boots as
high up as they would go.
The newspaper spirit was with the
women even though they didn't have
one single everstick to share between
'em. 5sl
We did not have dove to send out
to keep us posted on the high and dry
spots. but We kept an eye open for
signs and when the rising turned to
falling waters there was hard hustllng
with forms and presses.
Floating about the front and rear
doors of the print shop on any old
thing that woald float the Daily Rec.
ord newsies shouted that they would
sand by the ship If 1t took until mid.
night to get the paper out.
The newsies had the spirit" all
right, but they were not kept waiting
as long as their loyalty prompted
them to promise.
1t takes something stronger than
coffee-colored January freshets to put
down and out the manipulators OF
news ink and white paper.

JUDGE MORGAN.

1t is always pleasure to note the
promotion OF the worthy. Hon. e. F.
Morgan's many friends are pleased to
give him the honored title of Judge to
which he is now entitled by reason OF
his selection as Judge of the Marion
County intermediate Court. Judge
Morgan began the duties of his of.
fee this morning and all who know
him feel that he will make good" on
the bench as he did at the bar. Judge
Morgan is Justly popular with all
classes of people as he is kind in dis.
position, transformations. but withal
capable. honest and upright. He pos.
sesses the qualities of good judge
and we have no doubt that he will
perform the duties of his office in an
sminently satisfactory manner.

The Huntington Dispatch is getting
jealous of Fairmont, but is determin,
ed not to be outdone in the matter of
candidates for Governor. The Dis.
patch says:
"Fairmont has already launched
two candidates for the gaberaatorial
nomination on the Republican ticket,
Fairmont is a remarkably productive
field. But 1t should be warned in
time. If it really wants to hold the
palm for excellence in the matter OF
subernatoriat candidates 1T will need
to produce more than two. Hunting
ton will come to the fore in due sea.
son with three Republican candidates
and one or two Democratic candidates
for governor"

An Old Relic
MAY BE USED AS 4 TOKEN or
AN EMBLEM OF PEACE IN
BeRNsvlLLE.

RfvEsyILLz. Jan. 49, One Of the
oldest relics seen or heard Of by 4
great many people as wen as the writ
er for long time Is the properly Of!
8, L. Tootbman, who operates trans.
ferfine in this place.
The relic Is neither a gem of the
ocean nor a pearl OF the sea. but some.
what allied to both.
It is simply a eonch shell of enor
nous size and peculiar shape. The
she'll was found on the sea shore In
the old country, as near as can be &C.
curately traced. about the year 1928.
by one of the original ancestors OF the
present possessor. and was handed
down from generation to generation
in the farotf country until the year
1913. at which time defendants of the
ancient family came to America bring
ing with them the highly priced keep
sake. which continued to be passed
from one generation to another, gov
erned by rule which entitled the old;
est son of certain members of the fam
fly to it. Since 1873, until 1t was last
'heaueathed when lit fell into the hands
of Mr.. Toothman. who is the young
est son OF the late Charles Toothman,
who died aboit 90 years ago on the
waters of Pharaoh's run, near Riyes-
vile. 1t is not likely to change hands
for some time. as the owner has been
offered some very tempting prices for
1t, which he stoutly declined.
From accounts as far back as It's
history can be obtained it has been
used as a dinner horn and for a rail-
road engine or a steamboat to try to
initiate its wonderful voice would, to
say the least, be playing the baby act
1t Is said that when blown on Phar.

when an old farmer at Ponetown, in
Monongalia county, fifteen miles away,
failed to hear the dinner signal from
Pharaoh's run, that he would remark
that some of Toothman's must be
sick.
The mammoth sea relic or trumpet
like wonder, which it most undoubt-
eddy Is, has not been blown to Its fail
capacity for about twenty years and
nothing, short of Gabriel's trumpet
would initiate its sound and as they
don't know OF this at Evansville and
will not be apt to see its wonderful his.

to a compromise 1t would make them

and try to initiate Rivesyille and live

Of the city was thrown into a real pan
ic for several hours. Shortly after
eight o'clock that queer and unsightly
being made his first appearance and
from that time on women and children
would not venture out doors.
The first report the police received
Of the excitement was when two OF
three citizens of that locality 'phoned
to police headquarters and said q
masked man had attacked an Italian
woman living in that neighborhood
Several of the men witnessed the at

Following the attack on the woman
which the police confirmed by visit
10 the woman's house the Horny Devil
put in his appearance second time
in the same locality. Three or foar
officers were on the scene the last
time and they gave chase. The Horny
Devil made his way with rapid strides
through the graveyard second time
and was finally lost to view on the
banks of the Little Kanawha. The
police thought at one time they had
him corpered and 'phoned to police
Headquarters for additional help. but
they failed to land the man.
Excitement was intense in the neigh
borhood for several hours. Several
men procured revolvers and insisted
they would shoot the thing If 1t ap
