yield to tho opinions of New York as
to the worth of 81 new play. 1t is
strange. Why, Just look how it was

Washington, only $1,7oo being taken in
during the week. Then she took tho
play TO New York and it made Il hit.
Later on. when she played it in Wash

In Memory Of James S. WO1vertOn.

He, in memory of whom this
sketch is written, was born in
Hampshire county, Virginia, Jan.
ID, 1880, and there spent his ear
ly youth. In his early manhood
he spent some time in Taylor and
Barbour counties.
While quite a young man he
became a citizen of Calhoun coun-
ty, there finding his life partner,
Eliza A. Terrell, to whom he was
married on the 18th day of Au-
gust, 1854. Soon after his mar
riage he established a home at
the mouth of Freeds Run, on
Leading creek, Spending less
than two years here, he moved
to Big Root, and there establish
ed the home which he ever after
maintained, and at which he
died.
OF this marriage was born six
sons and three daughters, viz:
Helen A., now the wife of Mr.. S.
G. Yoke of Morgantown; Thomas
j., who is unmarried and lives
with his mother; Louis c., who
married Miss Hattie Lee, and re
sides on Big Root; Robert F.,

The Carbon black factory, be-
longing to Godfrey l.. Cabot,
about three miles below town,
was visited by a fire Tuesday
evening, which totally destroyed
the stock house, and all that it
contained. The origin of the
fire is not known, but it is sup
posed that fire was carried into
the building in a bag of black.
The fire was discovered about
seven o'clock Tuesday evening
and by that time it had gained
such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to extinguish the flames, or
save anything in the building,
and only by dint of the hardest
work by the employees of the
plant, the fire was held in check
and prevented from spreading to
other buildings. The building
was almost entirely filled with
black, machine supplies, a car
load of paper bags, and other
material. The, loss will proba-
bly, exceed $4,000, and was par
TALLY covered by insurance.
The employees of the factory
deserve great praise for their
prompt and untiring work in
keeping the fire from spreading
to the other buildings. The
plant is probably the largest
manufacturing establishment in
the little Kanawha valley, and
the loss would have been very
great had the fire reached the
packing rooms. The fire will not
cause the plant to shut down.
