seemed to be in the best of health

he went to the barn to look after

tigation. Upon entering an out
building the PROSTATE form of Mr..
Piles was found, he having suceumb-
ed to heart failure few hours prev
ious to his discovery.

1t is reported on good authority
that the old line of the n. and w.
from Naugatuck to Kenova has been
bought by the Deepwater people, and
that the N. and W. will begin at
once the work of double tracking the
new line down the Big Sandy. This
will be a great thing for the devel-
opment of our section, and will put
the new railroad giant nearly at our
door. The possibilities arising from
this move, il true, are almost un-
bounded.
