ORIGINAL POETRY.
THE Valley of the Shadow

THE Valley Of the Shadow"
Have you been near 1.-The valley of the
shadow of death ?''
Were some of your lov'd ones there too :?
Have you listen in dread to their fiuttering
breath,
And were they then given back unto you
Have you fear'd you would lose a fair
daughter or son,
Or a dearly-lov' ID husband or wife?
Have you sat by the bed of some dear dying
one,
And then have him restord unto life?
We sat by the side of our dear baby's bed,
And the memory brings pain even now;
| can see the fair curs tumbld over her
head
Pressd back from her delicate brow.
Her fever crept higher and higher each day ;
Her throat was so parch'd and so dry,
And we felt as we watch d where the
sufferer lay
That our beautiful baby must die.
A time came when our faith no longer
would last
No more hope could the good doctor give {;
Then we heard from his lips that the crisis
is past ~
Thank God your baby will live'
To us each there does come this hour of
dread
We lose faith in our Saviour above;
Then the dear one we fear ereong would
be dead
Is restor'd by His plying love.
And should the wise Father who ruleth all
things
Think it best for us that we should part
Yet He sendeth His angels with balm in
their wings
To heal up each poor broken heart.
Though we walk through the valley of the
shadow of death"
Yet no dangers nor ills need we fear;
To our hearts we can whisper with each
teeting breath
Lo, my Saviour and Shepherd is near.

excellent gentleman, conducts general

the wedding was most pleasant affair.

"Log-Book of Four Men i'm a Car"


Somebody sent the JOURNAL this week
a copy of the Moundsville CIV. Na.)
Echo of recent date containing the fol-
lowing paragraphs marked:
The National Road much of the way be-
tween Umontown, Pa. and Cumberland
comes pretty near being a national disgrace
or would be if delegate Ice could have his
way and put the United States government
i'll the highway building business and there
fore also carry the responsibility.
That there are half-mile stretches-many
of them-on the historic National Road
much worse than any public road in Mar
shall county, is no exaggeration.
There are places so bad that any but a
reckless driver would not go oyer them ex
cept for the fact that to go back would be
worse, and there is always hope that there is
better ahead.
Then come stretches of perfect road, like
hills on each side of the Ioughigheny
river, and from Frostburg to Cumberland
down through the Narrows-palisades as
magnificent as the Hudson.
But to revert to the wretched condition of
the National Road in eastern Fayette and
Somerset county, Pa, and Garrett county
Md. County dirt roads crossing it are usual
ly much better in appearance.
AT EVANSVILLE, Md, we talked to people
who have autos and they said they never
rlsked their cars on the National road but
used them entirely in running north to the
Meyersdale region and south to the Deer
Park country.
In the entire length of the Road it seldom
swerves from its pioneer determination to
make bee line from Cumberland to Wheel
ing.
From the crest of Crooked Ridge the
highest point on the road, over $500 feet
above sea level, the view east and west shows
the narrow gray gashes OF road cutting in a
straight line over the top of each of the half
dozen mountains right in sight. Only at
such places as the Savage mountains and
Negro mountain is there divergence to get
better grade than directly up and down.

American sport.
The good people go in vast numbers
to see the game.
Natively, it is clean, manly, inter

Unlike the exercise of "the quality Of
mercy" they do evil alike to those who
give and those who receive.
The American people-lovers of the
great National game, will, in the end,
sustain no such foolishness.
Such players will soon die, and they
will not die like heroes.
They are an impossible entity, incapa-

I may offend some good people by
these characterizations, but l am really
concerned only for the good of the game.

Col. Dillon, of course, is always able

PRIZES FOR THE BOYS
OF the Anderson County Boys Corn
Club Offered BY the Board of
Trade of Palestine.

At a meeting of the Board of Trade
executive committee last night it was
definitely decided to offer nice list
of prizes to the boys of the Anderson
County Boys Corn Club. The first
prize will be a gold watch, such a
watch as any boy would be proud to
own. The second prize will be good
shotgun, and in addition to these two
main prizes, a number of merchants
have volunteered to give valuable
prizes, one firm, offering nice suit of
clothes. The list of prizes is being
worked up today by Board of Trade
committee, and Secretary Sterne will
announce the full list to the boys at
the meeting of the club here tomor-
row. This is going to be valuable
contest, and some of the boys of the
county are going to win nice prizes.

THE BOARD OF TRADE MET.
Small Number of Executive Commit
teemen Responded to Call For
Meeting-Did Business.

q.
At the beginning of the present
fiscal year of the Board of Trade
debt existed of something like $500,
resulting from some heavy eXpendi-
lures made by the Board in furthering
a line of work taken up Today the
Board is out of debt and has small
cash balance to it's credit, and is still
doing some very fine work. In addi-
ton to it's current expenses. advertis-
ing bills, ETC., it is paying for the lot
on which the creamy is located, and
is reaching out for other good things
for the county. This fact is mention
ed to show that the Board is moving
ahead and doing some really J good
work. 1t is a matter of comment and
regret that more members do not take
an interest and attend the meetings,
but despite this drawback the work is
progressing.
At the meeting last night of the ex-
ecutive committee, after disposing OF
the Corn Club prize matter, and the
button campaign program, the matter
of getting the railroad company to
build an exhibit room for the Board
was taken up, and the situation was
gone over carefully. The idea is to
get the /. & G. N railroad officials to
build a suitable building near its pas
senger station in this city, on one of
its small plazas, and give it for the
use of the Board, where will be main
tanned a permanent exhibit of the pro-
ducts and industries of the county,
making it year-round exhibit or show
room for the city and county. To fur
Their this movement President Silliman
appointed Messrs. Phil Myers and J.
w. Ozment committee to interview
the railroad people and interest them
Such an exhibit would be of equal
value to the city and county and to
the railroad, as the development OF
| the county helps all.
The matter of an annual fair in
connection with this permanent ex
hibit was not discussed, but can be
| taken up later.
