CONDUCTOR SARBER IS BADLY BEATEN
UP AT POINT PLEASANT.

Harry Sarber, freight conductor
on the Ohio River division of the B.
& o. Railroad, was seriously injured
by a crowd of ruffians at Point Pleas
ant Friday. Though his condition is
not critical he was badly beaten up
by gang of men who were employ
ed by wild west show, which gave
two performances at Point Pleasant
Friday.
Mr.. Sarber left this city with his
train Friday morning. When the
train arrived at Point Pleasant Mr..
sarber was engaged in backing sew
eral cars over to the X. & NJ. This
did not meet the approval of the
show people and they objected siren
uously. Mr.. sarper had received in
structionS to side the cars and was
following orders when the ruffians at-
tackled him, They beat him almost
INTO insensibility and had it not bee,
tor the timely arrival ofofficers ther,
is no telling what might have beer
the result of the mixup.
1t was learned here yesterday that
action had been taken against the
show and that they will be required
to settle in full for the damage done.
By railroaders who witnessed the
brutal assault on Sarber it is said he
had no clothes left, they having been
torn off his body. Before he could
return home he was compelled to pur-
chase an entire outfit of wearing ap-

NEW LAW.

The new revenue laws going into
effect July first, have increased the
prices of cigarettes and scrap tobacco
and manufacturers have devised
various schemes to comfy with the
law and yet not change the price OF
the package. Packages of scrap to-
bacco which formerly contained one
and two-third ounces and retailed at
FIVE cents have been reduced in size
to one and one half ounces.
Cigarettes have been affected to the
same extent and in many cases the
number in the box have been reduced
from 10 to eight while in other brands
the number remains the same but are
put up cheaper and in cheaper boxes.
Cigars and stogies are not effected by
the change, their prices remaining
the same. Dealers say that notwith-
standing the increase in the prices
made necessary BY additional reve-
nue. tax that the sale of cigarettes
are constantly increasing and the
demand grows greater for them each
year. More young men are taking
to this habit and the sales grow in
volume.

DROPPED DEAD.
THOS. RAYBURN, OF COOPER DISTRICT
FELL DEAD, MONDAY MORNING.

The entire community was
shocked Monday morning, when the
news of the sudden death of Thomas
Rayburn, from heart disease on our
streets, was flashed over the city.
Mr.. Rayburn had brought a load
of straw into town for Lew Knapp,
the butcher, and after delivering ii
had gone to the Elm Tree Restau-
rant and was sitting out in front of
that place when he was attacked
with spell of heart trouble, from
which he had been sufferer for the
past FIVE years. He had been joking
with Mr.. Knapp about the price of
the straw, when Knapp was called
to his butcher shop few doors be-
low, on matter of business, ana
who had not been away fIom him
for more thai three minutes, wheR
he fell from his chair dead. He
was carried into the undertaking
rooms of J. B. Tippett and doctor
summoned, but it was easily seen
that it was past all human power to
aid him.
He was one of the most prosper
Gus farmers of this section, man of
excellent habits, fine moral character
and had been member of the NJ.
f. Church South for the past twenty
five years. Hewas invariably good
neiShbor, and there was no happier
family circle in the land than his.
When he died full of years, and
ready to be gathered to his Fathers,
the grief that was felt over the close
of his long career was widespread
and sincere. His best monument
will be the good report that he has
left behind him in the community in
which he has lived all of his life.
Deceased was about sixty years old
and leaves four children to mourn
the loss Of a living father.
The funeral services were held
this morning, at the late home, Rev.
|. n. Fannin cticiating, and inter
ment followed at Lone Oak Gene
tery.
He is survived by the following
children: Mrs. 0. V. Yeager, c. E.
Rpyburn, c. c. Rayburn, Camden
Rayburn and Curtis Rayburn. We
can only remind these mourners that
he is not dead, he is only sleeping
resting after long, well spent life
here. He cannot and would not if
he could return to US, We can, five
viii, 90 to him. So from the beauty
Of his life take an inspiration and 60
forth to live as he lived, SO that
when the summons comes we may
be able to say as he would have said.
/" All is well.

If you don't live strictly on put-

much as agreed upon it.
According to people who devote
much of their time to the laudaoie
labor of selling thirst quenching peV-
erages, buttermilk has for the last
five years steadily increased in popu-
larity as a hot-weather drink until
today it is the most sought after OF
all having surpassed such rivals as
the once-favored ice-cream soda, the
mint smash or the entrancing 1ulep.
When the thermometer hovers De-
tween SIS and 95 buttermilk becomes
the cup that cheers and never inc
briates, no matter how plenteously
imbibed. Drink experts say so. They
say that this once more or less de-
spised liquid is now called for more
frequently than any other in country
clubs, in drug stores, In hotels IN

For several years Fannie's generos-

that Fannie has always been an ac-
