BOARD OF THOMSON ME. CHURCH
VOTESUNANHLOUSYFORH HSRETURN

By unanimous vote of the mem
bers of the official board of Thomson
Methodist church, who were present
at meeting held, the return of the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Sterling J. Miller
was asked. The proceedings of the
meeting will probably be read at the
next meeting of the state conference
to be held in Mannington when ap-
pointments will be made, in the hope
that DR.. Miller may be returned to
his present pastorate.
Such action by the official board of
the church is regarded as very com
plimentary to the pastor. He has
been the head of Thomson church for
FIVE years, succeeding Rev. DIR. Earl
Douglas Holtz, now on the lecture
platform. The Rev. DR.. Miller came
to Wheeling from Parkersburg. In
local ministerial circles he has been
very active during the years of his

NATIONAL BANK FOR MASON CITY.

A movement is on foot to start a
Nationa! Bank at Mason, with a cap
ital stock of SOS, 900.
This enterprise grows out of the fact
of the opening of the new coal works
just above, by the Mason City Coal
Mining Co., which needs banking
facilities to care for its business. The
movement is heartily backed by the
town. At preliminary meeting
participated by the Coal Mining peo-
pie and Messrs Icenhour, Ruttencut-
ter, Bletner, Lewis and other rep
resentative citizens of the town, the
movement wass fully discussed and
advanced 10 a point where the loca-
ton for the bank was selected. 1t
is expected that the new cement
building across the street from the
depot will be bought, and the bank
installed there.-Tribune-Teleg-ap

INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS.

State Superintendent of Schools
has issued the following useful infor.
nation to applicants for teachers
certificates:
Section 81 of the Revised School
Law establishes the following re.
quirements for the three grades of
certificates issued under the uniform
system of examinations.
First Grade certi6cate-To receive
a FIRST grade certificate an applicant
must make an average ofeo per cent,
and must not fall below IS per cent.
in any branch.
Second Grade certi6cate-To re-
ceive second grade certificate an
applicant must make an average of
so per cent and must not fall below
6s per cent. in any branch.
Third Grade certifcate.-To re-
ceive a third grade certificate an ap-
plicant must make an average of 10
per cent. and must not fall below 60
per cent. IN any branch.
The grades falling below the re-
quired per cents will not be raised.
Under the new law they may enter
the next examination and be re-ex-
amined in the branches in which they
made their lowest grades without be-
ing required to pass again in the
branches in which their grades were
satisfactory, provided their record is
good.
Every effort is made by this de-
partment to secure the fairest pos
sible grading of the manuscripts ofall
applicants and to encourage worthy
and capable teachers to advance to
the highest grade of certificate. To
give applicants more than they merit
however, would not molly discredit
the examinations, but would work to
to the great disadvantage of the
schools of the state and ultimately to
the disadvantage of the applicants
themselves. A good certificate is
well worth a thorough course of study
covering several years even. The
higher the standard ofcerti6cates
the better the wages will be.

GlJYAN BOOM
BURSTS $1,000 LOGS SWEPT OUT ON
The TIDE.

Huntington, W. Va, July TO-
As the result of a second rise, the
booms in Guyan gave way Thursday
and thousands of logs were swept in
to the Ohio. In addition to this inn
mense damage, gorge which form
ed against one of the lower piers
threw the force ofthe current against
the eastern bank, the result being a
washout of about 500 square yards
in area, the cut extending in the
deepest place about rs feet from the
edge of the bank. This affected the
county road, only few feet of which
was left. The road at this point,
about quarter of a mile above Guy
andotte, was rendered impossible
and traffic, by vehicle, will necessar-
lily be suspended there until road
can be constructed through the field.
The officials of the Guyandotte
Boom Company estimate the number
of logs which were taken into the
Ohio at between SO, 900 and 60, 900.
Possibly $4,000 logs lodged against
the piers and were held.

FARMERS FRIEND.
AS A.RULE THE FARMER has NO FIRM
MER FRIEND THAN The PRESS.

In an audience composed mostly
of the members of the Farmers I'm
ion recently, one of the speakers ex-
pressed the mutual friendship be-
tween the farm and newspaper IN the
following:
AS rule the farmer has no firm
er friend than the county press. The
home paper is distinctly the farmers
own paper, supported directly and
indirectly by farmers who compose
the backbone of the subscription list
of the printer, and largely for what
the enterprising merchant advertises.
Now, brother, let US not forget our
friends. Let US see that our sub
scriptiOn is paid a year in advance;
we can do it.
The man or the paper that fights
my battles shall have my support.
Another thing, the merchants adver-
tising are the ones who make it poss-
ible for US to get good local paper.
The man or local firm who's too pen
urious to advertise and helm support
the local press has no right to the
farmers patronage.
4 promise, hereafter, to go the
live advertiser and the man who does
his share in supporting the local press,
thus contributing to my support,
rather than buy of man who pro-
poses to take all and give nothing
bac,. If farmers as a class would
support their friends, the other fell
low would soon go out of business. "

BASE BALL.
POINT PLEASANT PLAYED THREE GAMES.
LAST SUNDAY.

Last Sunday morning the North
Point Pleasant boys came down and
crossed bats with the regular team
here and were beaten by score of
4 to /. The North boys played with
vim and vigor and will be heard from
before the season closes.
In the afternoon Point Pleasant
hooked up with the Proctoryille team
and lost by a score of 4 to 8.
The game between Proctorville
and the home team had not pro-
gressed far when the Nelsonville,
Ohio, club put in an appearance.
This necessitated shortening the last
two games to I innings. The Point
boys were badly crippled as to change
pitchers as Dashner is away. They
finally used Guyandotte player in
the pitchers box who did fairly well.
Harris, who pitched against Proctor
vile, though suffering with boil on
his catapult wing, did splendidly.
He is conner, and stick pin there.
The game resulted in score of 4 to
in favor of the Ohio lads.

TRIBUNE.TEIEGRAPHS VIVID STORY
OF EVERETT WHITES SENTENCE,
&C, &C, &C.

The Tribune-Telegraph, published
at Pomeroy, Ohio, in last week, S
issue, gives an account of the trial
and sentencing of Everett White to
the penitentiary, which partakes
somewhat of sort of yellow Journal
ism hitherto unsuspected from that
source.
1t is not true, as stated in that
paper, that the laws of West Virginia
allow prisoner no time off for good
behavior. On the contrary, White,
if he is well behaved while in the
penitentiary, will get some four or
FIVE years of for good conduct.
Neither is it true that no person,
except one woman, ever lived long
enough to serve twenty year sem
tence, and it is not true that they
all die before they serve out their
time at Moundsville; dame rumor in
the Pomeroy bend to the contrary
notwithstanding.
1t is not true, as stated in the
Tribune-Telesraph, as shown by the
evidence adduced upon the trial of
the case, that White ordered Fisher
and Rayburn off of the premises (;
that they refused to go; neither is it
true so far as we are able to ascertain,
that White shed any tears at the
time of his sentence.
The Tribune-Telegraph is also in
error when it states that White was
taken to the penitentiary at Mounds
vile on the B. & o. flyer Tuesday
afternoon, (July y and that he
seemed in a cheerful mood and acted
like heathought he got off lucky.
But with the above trivial excep-
ceptions, the account given by the
Telegraph is substantially true, and
the correspondent of that paper is to
be congratulated on coming so near
the truth.
1t is absolutely tue that the case
was hard-fought one, and that the
jury agreed on their verdict on the
first ballot.
As matter of fact, no state in the
union is more humane to unfortunates
confined in the penitentiary than is
West Virginia.
We attribute the above mistakes
to lack of information as to the
facts in the case, rather than to will
ful intent to misinform the public
or, it may be it is due to unusual
aptness or effort in an endeavor to
secure news in advance.

STORY OF ROMANCE
COMES TO LIGHT
POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED
TWO YEARS AGO.

Mrs. Walter S. Starkey, nee Miss
Bertha ROllyson, of GuyandOtte, has
exploded the popular theory that
the feminine nature is destitute of
the quantity of secretiveness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Starkey are the
principal actors in pretty little ro-
nance which has but recently been
exposed to the light of publicity,
and thereby hangs tale
The story runs thus:
On February g, 1907. Miss Bertha
Rollyson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. L. Rollyson, of Guyandotte,
and Walker S. starkey, son of John
w. starkey. of Glenwood, decided
to take each other for better OF
worse and forthwith proceeded to
catlettsburg where the knot was
duly tied by the pastor of the Pres
byterian church.
As is unusual in such cases, Mr..
Starkey and his girl bride resolved
to forego for the time the parental
blessing, and to keep their marriage
secret.
They therefore returned to Hunt
ington and the youthful groom re-
sumed his studies at Marshall Col
lcge, while the bride returned to
the home of her parents. At that
time Mrs. Starkey was in the short
dress period of her girlhood, but two
years have transformed her into a
charming young matron who wears
long skirts and does up her hair"
and possesses all the charm and
dignity of the average young matron.
For two years their marriage was
kept secret and it was only within the
last few weeks that the secret was
impaired by the young people to
their parents.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. .5tarkey are
exemplary young people, the latter
being the daughter of B. L. Rolly-
son, the prominent lumber dealer of
Guyandotte, and she one of the
most popular young ladies in the
town.
Mr.. starkey is the son of John
W. starkey of Glenwood, who has
extensive property interests both ii
his home town and Huntington, and
S young Ilan Vi lIhS LitellSSt dIIe
high moral character.
In the interval between the mar
rage and it's announcement Mr..
starkey completed his studies at the
college and he now holds responsi.
bic position with the Watts Rite,
company of Guyandotte.
Although congratulations ma,
seem somewhat tardy, The man!
friends of the young people extend
to them hearty wishes for a bright
future, and it might not be amiss tc
