Philippine Trip Called on.

! There was q disappointed lot OF sol
'diers at Fort Wayne Saturday night,
when orders came from Washington
coun.ermanding the arrangements
made for the regiment leaving next
Sunday for the Philippines. For
weeks the men, 500 of them, have
been preparing for the trip to the far
east, household goods had been packed
and several carloads of goods had been
started for>San Francisco. No reason
for the change In orders has been Civ

that a number OF assertions are said

Rev. William Byron Forbush In his

contention made by the speaker was
that religion is not q matter essen

Such simple and natural motives
as love, loyalty, fear and gratitude are
motives to bring men to God. Jesus

His father went away when he was
young and he learned the bitterness

supported his family, getting his. own

There was horse which Rookie.

Andrews. Rockefeller got to talking
to- Andrews about the prospects In the
oil business, which was young then.
Andrews said he had a brother, Sam,
who was in England and was good
oil refiner. Rockefeller offered to pay
his expenses to come over and go
into partnership with him.
THAT was the start of the Excelsior
Oil Co. Rockefeller had twelve or NJ
teen hundred dollars and they got a
plant for about $4,000 on credit from
q man named Smith. Their oil was
the best from the start because they
used more scientific methods of re-

The sale of the Clinch Valley Barytes
Company's plant, situated about two
miles from Honaker, on Clinch River,
was held Saturday. NJ. Miller, of Col
umbus, Ohio, who owned most of the
stock, bought the property. The deal
involved a total of several thousand dol
lars and represented q mill equipped with
up-to-date machinery, several company
houses. hotel or club house and num-
Der OF acres of land. The plant is now
run by steam power, but it is rumord
that the new management will build
concrete dam across the Clinch river and
run the machinery by water power. The
location is ideal for a dam of this kind
and the river current would furnish sew
eral hundred horsepower for running
any kind of machinery. This company
also built and owned the railroad from
this point to the mills, but sold the same
