KNOCKERS"

It has been said that some men
are pitched to minor key. They
probably do not realize it; but there
is downward tendency in their
thought and conversation. Every
thing is down-business poor, pros
poets dark. They are always seeing
snags ahead. They see tendencies
in American life which are sure to
undermine our democracy and end in
revolution. Everything is in de-
plorable condition.
We know of many, unhappily, in
this progressive town of ours, whose
pessimistic procliyities would, if al
lowed to materialize, damn the future
of what, through it's pre-evident
adaptability, must be one of the
prominent water-towns of the Union;
for such condition is paramount in
the minds ofthe progressive element
in Point Pleasant.
The pessimist is nuisance under
any condition, but the member of
that clan in small community is n
veritable obstruction. He goes
through life like a tornado cloud,
carrying blackness and disaster where
ever he goes.
Everything depends upon the way
we look at things. Near these
calamity-howlers we find people liv-
ing practically under the same con-
ditions, who see beauty and increas-
ing goodness, and an upward trend
in civilization everywhere.
What an untold blessing to form
early in life the optimistic habit of
seeing the best instead of the worst!
Think how much more those get
out of life who are always courageous,
hopeful, always grateful for every
good thing that comes to them, and
who have great faith in the good
ness of human nature and in the
honesty of most people.
&c.

SUPREME JUDGES I'LL
NEITHER HARLANNOR MOODY MAY EVER
GO ON THE BENCH AGAIN.

Washington, D. c., Sept. .
Justice John NJ. Harlan is the second
member of the United States supreme
court who is reported to be in i'll
health. 1t is stated that neither he
nor Justice Moody will be able to
take their seats when the court con-
venes in October for the full term.
Although Justice Harlan's illness is
not of a serious nature, it is admit
ted he may take trip to California
for the purpose of recuperating.
As Justice Harlan is now in his
seventeen year, he has passed the
age of retirement. Up to this time
he has been remarkably vigorous
man for his age, and has been fire.
quently urged to become candidate
for Governor of Kentucky.
Despite the fact that Justice Moody
is the youngest member of the court,
it is believed he will not be able to
go on the bench again. Mr. Moody
is not blessed with very rugged
constitution.

BASE BALL
POINT PLEASANT SHUTS OUT PROCTOR
VILE.

Last Sunday the largest crowd of
ladies and gentlemen that ever as
sembled on the Point Pleasan. Base
Ball grounds, witnessed one of the
most interesting games played here
this season. The ProctorviIle, Co., }
team, strengthened from other towns
on this side of the river, was pitted
against Point Pleasant.
The fact that pitcher Dashner,
who had been absent in the upper
end of the state and in Ohio, on Il
pitching tour, was announced to pitch
the game, no doubt drew many who
otherwise would not have attended.
In the last three games Mr.. Dash
ner has otficiated in the box he has
IS strikeouts to his credit, with only
6 hits against him. These laurels
were won against Marietta, Sisters
vile and Proctorville.
The score last Sunday was 5 to o
in favor of the Point boys. Dyke"
had the visitors completely at his
mercy at every stage of the game.
Mr.. Daugherty, his catcher, was in
fine fettle and supported him well.
There was not single one of the
home team but what elected great
applause from the large audience for
their top-notch work. The Proctor
vile team is strong and had fine
battery, but Greenlee, W. Burdett,
Smith, s. Burdett, Dashner, Dau-
gherty, Harrison, Park and Varian
were soon onto the great pitcher and
lambasted him at will. A travelling
man in attendance said he had wit
messed many games but Point Pleas
ant had battery and team behind
him that would be dangerous to any
club no matter where they hailed
from. Success to our boys.

TAKING CANDY E2OM ABABY.

Baltimore is preparing to burn
West Virginia gas. With the first
connection that is made with the
consumer in that city the gas supply
Of this state will begin to diminish,
and one of the richest heritages ever
possessed by any state will be prac-
tically given away. The vast wealth
in gas that is now possessed by this
state will be of only temporary bene-

interests, but not until it is gone
will the loss be felt, SO says the
Huntington Herald-Dispatch. 1t
further says, it is stated that the

expenditure Of fifteen millions of
dollars in getting the gas to the
Baltimore market. The expenditure
of SO much money indicates supreme

In praise and esteem to the last.
