The proposed absorption Of the
Lite Kanawha syndicate ty Che
Virginian railway is a consummation
devoutly to be wished. The project
looks good. The Virginian r. r.
Is a cash business proposition, not
a scheme of promotion, nor of stock
gambling. 1t is strictly legitimate
business undertaking with brains
money and experience behind =.
Just now we can see nothing offer
ing brighter prospects to the Little
kanawha valley than the absorptio 4
OF the Little Kanawha syndicate
holdings by the Virginian Railway
corporation. 1t would mean the TAX
ing up Of the unfinished work where
1t was abandoned or suspended, ana
is completion to connection with
high class outlets in every direction.
The Lite Kanawha railroad would
then be made into a real railroad
and the development Of the valley so
long in allegiance, would become a
reality.-Parkersburg Sentinel.

Bill Eajs' Wise News Is severe en-
the inconsistencies OF Mr.. Slemn.


Congressman Slemp voted against
his own speech. He spoke in favor
OF tariff on coal and then voted :,
put coal on the free list; he spoke
in favor of putting tariff on iron
and iron ore and voted to put iron
and iron ore on the free list; he
spoke for tariff on lumber AMI
then voted to put lumber on the
free list. Thus Bascom sacrific I'd
the slogan OF his text and the wis
dom of his judgment on the politi-
cal altar for the sole good Of his
party. In other words Goa, iron, ore
and lumber, and the interest and
welfare OF the people OF the ninth
district of Virginia are not worth a
continental milldam in Bascom's
sight when federal pie is the prize o.
stake.

WEAR THE WHITE ROSE FOR

Sunday is Mothers Day. By N

Observation in a proclamation to the

motherhood, says the At 'anta GeoT-

caught the favor of the public to
such an extent that in many cities
of the continent this coming Sabbath
will witness the formal birthday Of
custom which is destined to extern
into International proportions. Blue
field will not be behind other cities
in its observation.
1t is the wearing of white rose

disown him before the whole world
But mothers love is spun of fine

In texture it is even more delicate
than the finest thread in Penlope's

OF the Great Eastern.
The years have sped since W.

sweetest of earthly prayers. SOM

And the influences OF the freside.
Who can weigh or measure them:
We are fated to forget many
things. But there are some accent
which ring in our ears like the music

they are sweeter than bugle echoes

Whether she be here or yonder-

Aye, we will wear the white rose
for mother
For when all the keys have been
touched and when all the Choir Is
have been swept and when all the
minstreis have sung, it still remains
that the sweetest Of LIES lingering
strains is the one which tells Of
her
And he who fares the best may say

Mans truest sweetheart after all
is she who loved him first.

MURRAY NEWS NOTES.

The prohibition movement in Murray
seems to have lost n strength When
the subject was first preached petitions
faVoring prohibition were circulated and
were signed By many, but reports are
that the wave Is not as strong a. at
first Murray has at present seventeen
saloons doing business, and great deal
Of its revenue IS derived from this source.
Many prominent citizens there have
voiced their opinion that IL prohibition
was adopted II would retard the progress
that Murray is making at the present
Union and Granite. where saloons are
few and far between, the agitation Is
much stronger.
