Sunset.


Some unobservant person ventured
the remark few days ago that
we have no sunsets in William
SON Now, we think we know some
thing about sunsets, as we have seen
them in several states and many
places and we must say, for beauty,
splendor and gorgeous coloring, we
have never seen anything to equal the
sunset here on Saturday evening. If
we were poet we could not do full
justice to it, for no pen (nor typew riter)
could adequately portray that golden
rose tint that enyeloped the. western
sky, and the blue velvet mist that en-
veloped the mountains. If you are so
unfortunate as to have missed seeing
Saturdays sunset, observe the western
sky, and you will soon see another
just as lovely. The scenery about here
draws you close to nature and makes
you commune with the better things Of
life

Mi nso County Politics.

Why of course they are talking
Mingo County politics right now.
1t is very warm when we don I
discuss politics. The powers
that be are arranging things the
hest they know how and are in
excellent good humor, and it
looks as though there might be a
love feast in the near future in
this county if it can be so arrang-
ed that everybody can get what
they want. Of course we are
not behind the curtains but we
can hear things from those who
are admitted into the inner
chamber of the secret conclave.
They are sitting around now in
groups of two, specializing as to
the future. There are ominous
specters looming up here and
there but still they manage to
look cheerful and keep oiling the
old machine. There lis peace
now and everybody is amiable.
But the future may bring a
love feast or strife. We admon.
ish you, kind friends, be good.

CAPTAIN A. HATFIELD.
Visits the Office Of the Progressive
West Vireinian.

Captain A. Hatfield, better known
as Cap made this office a pleasant
visit yesterday, accompanied by his
wife. It has been fourteen years since
we had seen him and could hardly
recognize his features, but as soon as
he made himself known, the times of
his distress and imprisonment in this
city flashed back 10 our memory. He
has aged somewhat since we saw him
last, fourteen years ago, but he is still
in the prime of manhood and leading
quiet and peaceful life on the border
of the State Of Virginia. This famous
man. of whom so much has been writ
ten, has always impressed us favora-
bly,. He has pleasing countenance
ard rapid flow of conversation. He
has always been considerable with the
writer, and was one Of the first to send
us his compliments in the way of
nice order for printing upon our return
to this city.
He is now raising large family and
doing excellent business, is comforta-
bly, situated and speaks highly of his
Virginia home. We might write a
long history of Mr.. Hatfield, but we
presume he has enjoyed all the news
paper notoriety he wants, and there
fore we will only say that we were
glad to meet our patron and his good
wife, and shall be glad to have him
come to see us again at any time. OF
course the latch string will always
hang on the outside to him and his,
and we shall be glad to know that his
peaceful and contented life may last to
a ripe old age.
Captain Hatfield is now a full
tiedged lawyer and has large and
increasing clientele.

CONCILIATORY FEELING GROWING
From a Local Political Viewpoint.

There is a conciliatory feeling
growing among our local political
manlpulaters which should be
Encouraged and ii the feeling
now prevailing is carried out
among the leaders who claim to
be sincere, much good will re-
suit to the community at large.
There is day approaching when
we hope to see Mingo county as
clean in politics as any
county in the State and we hope
to see it come by'our citizens de-
handing clean methods in the
conduct of our local affairs. Our
reputation as people is all stake
and now while there is no politi-
cal excitement, let us reason to-
gether. We are taking notes in
this matter, because we shall
have to record the facts, if they
are unworthy our citizenship.

be looking after our hotel facili-

Williamson the most fashionable

During the twenty-five years

greatest distress was caused by a
dull, dragging ache between m i
shoulders. AT times + was all

sible for me to get my rest. The
kidney secret9ons were also a
source of annoyance and showed
that my kidneys were at fault.

Mark our Prediction. Mingo
County is going to rise above the
pigmy peanut politics of the past
within her borders. The senti-
ment is materialising that will
drive small politics from our
section and the man who wishes
to be recognized as gentleman
will have to make his political
methods as straight as a single.
The sentiment is here, and it is
strong in the minds of our peo-
pie, and the people must rule in
Mingo county.
