ON HIS IHR0AT.


Edward Murphy, formerly ofSiid-
dIeport, an item of whose death was
published in TIE INDErrNDrNT Of
Tuesday, committed suicide at Peru,
Indiana, by cutting his throat, the
result, it is supposed, of dependency
over domestic and other troubles.
twill be remembered that Murphy
was for long time employed as ex-
press messenger by the Adams Ex-
press Company. and that he was ac-
cused ofserious misconduct in the
matters entrusted to his care.
This led to his leaving this section
of the country and to his separation
from his wife, who went to Point
Pleasant to reside with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hines Kerwood.
These troubles weighed heavily up
on him and were no doubt the cause
of his desperate deed. He grew to
manhood in Point Pleasant, and be-
fore his self-inAicted death he wrote
a note directing that his body be
shipped to his old home, where it
arrived Thursday.-Pomeroy hide
pendent.
Murphy's remains arrived here
last Friday and inferred in Lone Oak
Cemetery.

PICKING PORK.

After the animal heat is all out of
the carcass, cut the meat in strips
about six inches wide, take out all
bone possible, cutting the parts IN
handy size for cooking, or the hams
and shoulders may be left out for
sugar-curing. Pack the strips Of
meat in perfectly clean, sweet bar
rel, setting the pieces on edge, not
laying fat, beginning at the sides Of
the barrel and continue on around the
barrel, filing up the center as com
pactly as possible, packing closely,
until one layer is packed; work into
the spaces as much salt as you cam,
then add another layer in the same
way, until all is packed. Makea
brine very strong-so an egg win
float, and be sure it is fresh egg;
boil this brine and let i. cool, then
pour over the meat. There must be
sufficient brine to well cover the
meat; lay three hickory sticks on
top of the meat, then put a weight
on this. When the brine becomes
red, with the blood out of the meat,
pour it of and boil it, skimming UNI
til nothing is on top, let get cold and
pour over the meat again, adding
brine if more Is needed. Pour OF
and scald the brine as often as It
needs it-sometimes three times.
Keep the barrel well covered, and
the meat weighted down in the brine
at all times. The least little piece
sticking out of the brine will spoil
the whole barrel.

REBUILDING OF THE STEAMER OHIO.

The steamer Ohio, which has been
on the docks for the past several
weeks, has been lowered into the
river after having had practically a
new hull built under her as well as
undergoing several other improve
ments and repairs, which are not as
yet completed. The carpenters are
still at work remodeling the cabin
and the painters are also at work.
1t is expected that it will take about
three weeks more to complete all of
the work.
The boat, when completed, will be
one of the finest packets on the river
in many ways, and the owners expect
to give more attention than ever in
looking after passenger traffic. As
has been previously announced, con-
densers have been installed and the
boat, it is expected will exceed her
former speed by from a mile to a
mileand a haitian hour. -Parkersburg

IN MEMORY.
Cemetery,

1t is with much sadness and regret
that We are called upon to announce
the death of Mr.. James Lanham who
departed this life May II, 1909. 1t
was decreed by the all wise hand of
providence that he should dwell in
this vale of tears no longer, and the
angel of death appeared and his own.
Since we can see his face no more,
for he, ike US all, will pass this way
but once.
He was a noble, good, kind chris
tan, loved by all who had the plea
sure of his acquaintance. He was a
devoted husband and father. true
and honest friend, and an earnest
worker and member of the NJ. f.
Church at Mt. Union, and had been
for a number of years the class leader
and was always found doing his duty
as christian.
We can recall the many charming
words, pleasant smiles, gentle man
ners and peaceful looks of our de-
parted friend and brother. This i'm
presses US with the fact that time is
fleeing, wrongs performed, or good
deeds neglected, may soon be forever
gone.
The deceased was born July 6,
1887, he was, therefore, II VI. 10
mo. and IL da. old.
A wife is left to weep for loving
husband, son and three daughters
to mourn the loss of kind and afFec-
tionate father. Besides his family a
host of other relatives and friends are
left to mourn the loss of our brother
in Christ, but we do humbly submit
to the will of the Almighty and will
cherish with fond recollections our
pleasant associations with our deceas-
ed friend and hope that we NAV each
at last meet him in better and
happier land.
We extend to the wife and children
our heartfelt sympathy in their sad
hours of bereavement. The funeral
services were held at his residence
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock by his
pastor, Rev. G. L. Woody, interment
In the family burying ground.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know,
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
, Where no farewell tears are shed.
: A Friend.
