ANCIENT RELIC OF
ANTE-BElLUM DAYS
Government Rifle, 20 Years Old, Made
at Harpers Ferry and Still in Eek
cslIent State of Preservation.

One of the most interesting relics
seen here recently, and which calls
the old government armory located at
Harpers Ferry 'befo' de wah,'' is now
on exhibition at the place of Henry A.
VanMetre, North Queen street, and is
attracting much attention. The relic
is an ancient Harpers Ferry carbine,
or government rifle as they were
known in those days, and is a stumpy,
short-waisted weapon of large cali
bre, no doubt considered a deadly and
effective gun in those days, but sadly
out of date in this time of high-power
Krags and Winchesters.
The gun was made in 1S41, and is
therefore 70 years old. 1t was first the
property Of the late Henry Bird, who
FOR many years before the Civil war
was employed in the government
works at Hampers Ferry, and after his
death became the property OF his son,
Mr.. John A. Bird West Martin street,
by WHOM it is highly priced The weap-
on was one of the first manufactured
at Harpers Ferry, and while it looks
to have seen much use. ii is still in
excellent condition and no doubt capa-
bic of doing effective work at close
range.
The old armory at Harpers Ferry
employed several hundred men, among
whom were the late Philip Schaarman,
the late Henry Bird the late Mr..
Hines, of East Burke street, and Mr..
Frank WEAVING, now residing on
South Maple avenue. 10 doubt there
are Others living here to whom the an
cient weapon would look familiar

Men on Committees.

The seventh annual convention OF

organization is going away fsom in
dustrial and commercial ceuters of the
state. and will gather in annual ses-
sion In Horticultural and agr cutur-
al region such as the South Branch
valley.
Comparatively few Of our people
realize the great development in
peach raising and kindred interests
that has taken place In the last decade
about Moorefleld, and hardly one West
Nirginian in one hundred knows that
cut Of the eastern section OF this state
are going to the markets OF the coul-
try every year hundreds of carloads Ct
the. finest peaches and apples In the
world So much Is this the case that
Hon. John J. Cornwell. president of
the South Branch Board of Trade, has
APPLY termed that country "the land
overlooked
1t was with view Of acquaiating
the state boards members with what
has been going on and the resources
and the wonderful advantages that
are at hand for further develoWne1t
that the South Branch Board of Trade
extended the invitation to the state as
sociation to hold this years meeting
at Moorefeld and it was in the same
spirit that the invitation was accepted
The policy of the state board is to
bring all sections closer together and
make known the achievements and
possibilities of every region. The or
chards, farms and fiocks of the South
Branch are contributing to West Vir-
guia's advance as well as coal and
timber, and it is to the interest Of
all to see that every section goes for
ward.
"A fine program has been mapped out
for the meeting which should prove at

ROOM IN HEAVEN
Kentucky Pastor Believes II to Be an
Apartment House.


Louisville. Ky, Aug, 29.-Heaven's
exact dimensions have been figured in
a sermon by Rev. NJ. f. Dodd, pas or
of large Baptist church here. He
said:
in Revelations. xxi. 1, nervous
Christians have read where the dimen-
sions of heaven are only 1900 cubic
miles. Immediately they jump at the
conclusion that even this space will
not accommodate the vast multitude
of which the Bible speaks.
However. calculation will show that
this space will accommodate a build
ing 10000 stories high and. counting
rooms of ten cubic feet. the first floor
of the structure would have 627. 264 900
such rooms. Multiplying this by 1922
900. it is easy to demonstrate that
such building would indeed accom-
modate an innumerable multitude"
