successes to her credit. The play is
in four acts, and it's personnel mclud-
es all of the people who were made
friends in the reading of the book.
The dramatists have not confined
themselves to the earlier adventures
of Rebecca, but have taken when they
listed from the newer "Chronicles OF
Rebecca,' in which further incidents
in the career of that unconventional
young woman are related The plot
reNolveS around Rebecca's life. at the
home of the Sawyer aunts, Miranda
and Jane who takes the girl because
there are so many children at her
home (her mother is sister of the
delectable old maids) and who are hor-
riiied at the pranks and life of the
young girl who has come into their
home. But Rebecca's loving and low
able nature asserts it's power even ov-
er the hardened characters of her
kinswomen, and when the last cur
tain falls she has not only conquered
their liking but has made herself the
center of the world for them. The in
cident of the soap selling, in which
Rebecca was aided and abetted by her
chum, Emma Jane Perkins, and the OBJ
Ject of which was to buy apiano lamp
for the destitute Simpson family, when
bread and bacon and baked beans
would have been infinitely more app
propriate, brings the element of love
into Rebecca's life, and with the close
of the play comes the intimation of
wedding bells for her and MIR. Alad-
din"

No cowboy is eligible to ride with
California Frank unless he is prac-

'Soon his restless vitality will not
permit him to be satisfied with the
sole ability to make the lariat perform
prosaic duties. He experiments with
knots and loops and fantastic turns.
The possibilities fascinate him. With
the grazing cattle as his audience, he
spins and tests and practices hour af-
ter hour. The repertoire of the rope
becomes his pride.

greater source of amazed interest
than the exploits of the men and wom-

WHO PAID FOR PAVING?

THE first paving ever done IN
the City of Williamson, was paid
for out of the current revenues,
but the do Nothings" could not
follow this admirable example.
Mingo Republican.
The foregoing is but a mild ex-
ample of the inability of this sheet
to strick to the truth. What are
the facts? The first paving that
was done in Williamson cost S2l,-
100000. When Mayor Pinson was
elected for the first time in 1905,
after the expiration Of the famous
Bipartisan" council, there was
100000 of this amountstlll I'M
paid. He found that this BIZ
partisan" council, owed the First
National Bank S5,000.00; the Bank
of Williamson, $5,000.00; Harri-
son & Bias, the paving contrac-
tors, about 100000, and about
100000 besides; all thecosts OF
this paving. It is true that this
paving was, paid for out Of the
current revenues, but the paying
was done by Mayor Pinson and
his council, and not by this great
bipartisan body, as Booton
would have you believe. The
Mingo Republican has become so
accustomed to distorting facts,
that it couldn't tell the truth if it
wanted to. It lacks practice.

Speculation VS.. Safety.

The fact that Mingo Coun-
ty sold an issue of $4,000 5
per cent. Bonds at a pre-
MUM, is not only recognition
of the counties splendid
credit but significant as to
the care men Of means exer-
else in their investments.
With them the. matter of
safety is of first Importance,
the interest return is sec
ondry. The peculative
feature is entirely eliminated
from this Investment, the
return fixed and certain.
There are today innumer-
able so-called investment Sc
curities offered to the people
Of Mingo county whose sole
: attraction is the speculative
feature and the promise of
interest returns SO large as
to make men of means scep-
teal. In fact, 1t is rare that
these peddled securities are
offered to men OF experience
and knowledge. The return
of capital is as fixed as the
return of labor or of bust
ness. 1t is based on the
safety of the capital invested.
The lure of speculation and
the glitter of large interest
is for the careless investor,
the men and women of mod
est competency and savings.
The return on the Mingo
County. Bonds is considera-
bly, less than five per cent.
but the greater return is in
the knowledge of h eli r
safety. And that is where
strong bank, like the
MINGO COUNTY BANK,
of Williamson, West Vir-
ginia, comes to your aid. It
gives you a liberal and safe
return for your money, and
credits interest to principal
twice year in it's savings

The supporters Of the Demo-
cratic ticket in Williamson will
make it SO warm for the Proxy
fellows to-day that there is not
the slightest danger of any fire
plugs being frozen.
The boss of the Proxies
talks about fair registration. If
he knows what a fair registrar
means (Which we doubt, he
knowingly and wlllfully violated
the law by his conduct, at the
last election.
1t is fol tunate for the people
of Williamson, that they haye
seen who is pulling the strings
that makes the Proxy candi-
dates jump. There is no longer
any question as to who will be
in charge of the City government,
if the Republican ticket wins. !.
The people of Williamson will
find out that every man who is
entitled to vote has been regis
tered. The Democratic ticket
does not fear the Judgment Of
the qualified votors Of the City,
and is more anxious than the.
Proxies that all such voters
be registered.
The Council was in session for
the purpose Of registering voters
every day from Monday until
Saturday of last week. ~We chal-
lenge any man to point out sim
gle instance when a qualified
voter was refused the right to
register when application was
made to the council for that pur-
pose.
Bottoms circus headlines saw
ing that over 100 voters had been
refused the right to register, will
deceive no one. Of all the long
list OF names he prints, as no;
being registered, the registra.
ton books will show that As oil
