REV. DR.. WADE'S
BROTHER dies
Former Sheriff Of Wood County
Passes Away After
Long Illness.

Charles Amos Wade, one of Par
qersburg's Oldest and prominent citi-
zens has received the final summons
which comes to all. and passed away
at his home az 1880 Ann street. His
death was not unexpected, as his con-
dition for some time was such that
1t was known that he had not long to
live. yet his demise was shock 10 the
family and friends.
Mr.. Wade was prominent not only
in business affairs but also had served
the peoples Of both Parkersburg and
Wood county in a public way, and
through his various associations IN
both capacities was known by almost
everybody In Wood county. He en-
joyed good health up to the time he
was stricken with paralysis on July
%, 1906. after which he was confined
to his home practically all the time,
and to his bed since last Christmas.
A week ago Wednesday night his
condition tooka change for the worse
when he suffered three hemorrhages
of the brain, but he rallied to some
extent after that time and appeared
no worse untfl after having another
hemorrhage, and soon expired, sur
rounded by the members of his FAM
lily.
Mr.. Wade was born In Highland
county. Virginia, April 30. 1885, and
with his parents journeyed when
quite young across the mountains,
settling at Wadesvllle. which, place
was named for the family. He took
up his residence at Wadesville, which
place was named for the family. He
took up his residence in Parkersburg
before the war and was engaged in
the photograph business, later be-
coming engaged in the drug business
with the late DIR. ]. NJ. Stephenson, re-
naming in the latter business until he
was elected sheriff ofswood county in
1896, in which office he served his
constituents -four years. He also
served as a member of the city
council for two or three terms. In
addition to being engaged in the two
lines of business above mentioned he
for several years operated the Far
mers & Merchants Touring mill at.
the corner of Avery and Second stroet
up to the time he was tricken with
paralysis, and he was also member
of the Parkersburg Mantle & Tile
Company of which he was president
for some time.
= Mr.. Wade was married in 1854 to
Isabella Stephenson of Parkersburg.
and to this union were born four chill
dren, three daughters and one son,
they being Misses Sallie, Bette and
Veronica Wade, who reside at the
family home and Attorney James c.
Wade. In addition to his family he
is survived by one brother. the Rev.
DIR. T. S. Wade, of this city.
Mr. wade,s home life was an ideally
happy one.,H was Kind and courte-
Gus on all occasions, and enjoyed the
respect and esteem of every one. He
was the soul of honor and upright.
ness, Christian gentleman. and his
death is distinct loss to, the COM
munity.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, and the interment, which
will be private will be at Mt olivet
cemetery.

TWO COURTS
ARE WANTED
BY the Lawyers Who Will Ask
Next Legislature for
Them.

At meeting of the Clarksburg Bar
Association In the court house last
night a committee of five was ap-
pointed to draft bills to be presented
to the next Legislature creating an in-
termediate or criminal court in addi-
ton to the circuit court of the county.
The committee consists of Raymond
Maxwell. Homer w. Williams, John
w. Davis, Harvey w. Harmer and
Philip P. Stcptoe.
The need of two courts in the couh-
ty is urgent. A few years ago the
Telegram foresaw this need and re-
peatedly urged the establishment of 1,
criminal or intermediate court here.A'
that time there were but a few law
yers who looked at the matter serious
", but time has revealed the fact
that the Telegram was right.
There are two counties within the
circuit and the amount of litigation
in each is immensely large and grow
ing rapidly all,the time. Besides, tho
,two.counties are becoming quite popu-
lous and this means naturally that the
criminal business of the court Is
largely on the increase.
Such situation as exists now pro-
longs the civil business of the court
and the pressing criminal business
delays action on the law and chan
cery side to the extent OF annoyance
to litigants and inconvenience to the
lawyers. Also in this connection the
duties of the judge are onerous.
Definite decision was not arrived at
as to whether the court to be asked
for should be criminal one or an
intermediate one. When the COM
mittee appointed makes It's report the
character of the proposed court will
likely be decided unon.
