DEBRIS FROM RUINS
Of BURNED BLOCK
ALMOST CLEARED Off
ACTIVE PREPARATIONS ARE UN-
DER WAY FOR CoNsTRUC
TON OF NEW BUILDINGS.
HOaK TO BEGIN WITH A WitK
New Structure Will Be Superior to
That Destroyed by the Flames
Fire Proof at the Rear-Many Con-
veniences Will Be Installed.

Work of clearing away the de-
bris from the fire of May ~, which de-
stroyed the block on the corner of
South Garden and West Seventh
streets, is progressing rapidly ana all
Of it has been removed from the
space occupied by the Woodbridge
Company. Very little remains TO be
done before the same thing will be
true of the stores of Dobbins & Ew-
ing and McKennon, Anderson & Fos-
ter.
Quick work has been done for there
was an immense amount of material
to remove. Today a portion Of the
inside foundations are being taken
down and within a day or two the
work Of laying the new foundations
will commence There will be no de-
lay in any feature Of the work.
The buildings which Phoenix like,
will rise on the ruins Of the old, will
be even better and more ornate than
those which stood before the fire.
Several improvements will be made
by the three Arms erecting the hous-
o.. 1t is expected that before the end
of the week McKennon, Anderson 4
Foster, Dobbins & Ewing and VOL
bridge will be enabled to announce
just the plans for the buildings. Ar
chitects are busy now making the
blue prints.
1t is known, however that the new
block will be four stories, that 10
three above and one below the sur
face of the ground, just as the old
block was This work will give en-
ployment to a large force of hands
all through the summer and will be
the largest building undertaken in
Columbia in probably ten years. The
buildings will require an immense
amount of labor and material. There
will be some noatable conveniences
in the new buildings that were not In
the old.
Probably the feature of the new
block that will give the greatest sat
isfaction will be the absolute fire pro-
lection from the rear. The walls and
windows will be so constructed that
no matter what the risk at the rear
may be there will be little if any dan
ger whatever of communicating fire
| to the new building.
No greater enterprise has ever
been shown in Columbia than that
displayed by the three firms burned
out All of them are in business with
of course somewhat hampered facili-
ties but all will be in their own
houses again just as soon as money
and energy and labor can put them
there.

IN MEMORIAM.

Last Saturday evening as the
shades of night were gathering
round US and all nature was being
hushed to rest, the quiet and peace
full spirit Of Mrs Hannah E. Fly took
it's flight from earth and went home
to the God who gave it. Heaven was
not such a great change to her for
she made heaven OF earth by her
Christian living.
Since fourteen years of age she
had been a member OF the Methodist
church at Mt. Nebo. She was eighty
two years old. The past six months
of her life since her husbands death,
she had made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Amos Timmons, OF
Goodwin. The care and attention she
enjoyed in this loving home was beau
,tiful to see. Each one tried to make
her last days so pleasant and they
had the satisfaction of happy, con.
tented face from her.
What a sweet care to have ones
faithful mother so near in her last
days, and the remembrance of it is
like balm to the sad heart of her low
ing daughter. What a hallow of
sweetness will it shed around her
sometimes weary feet and some time
in the future years when perhaps
some great sorrow or trial shall
shadow her life, and life should seem
sifted of all that was good may the
performance of thse last days OF
your mothers life, dear Josie, that
have been spent with you be a solace
to your sore tired heart and though
you have other golden links il the
great beyond, we know the link of
sweet old mothers life shall be the
strongest that shall bind you closest
to the heaven where she has gone.
Mrs. Fly possessed the greatest
and best gift to mana good name
untarnished by evil thoughts words
or deeds, or should they ever have
been a temptation to her, by Gods
grace she banished them from her
or else the world would have known
something of their influence. If she
had any enemies we never knew
them. Her life was one of energy
hope, faith and consequently cheer
fulness and peace.
A few moments before she breath.
ed her last, she folded her weary
hands across her breast, too tired to
say goodbye-for she had been a
pilgrim in this old world for so long.
and, oh, weeping daughters and son.
grandchildren and all, grieve not for
her, but clasp her sweet, Christian
life about you as protecting man
tie from the snares and sins of this
life, and may you, too, when you
come to deaths door have only to
fold your hands and pass sweetly,
gently through the shining portals of
Eternal Day.

FIVE BOYS FROM
MARSHALL COUNTY
WALKING TO KANSAS
PUPILS OF THE HAYNES-M LEAN
SCHOOL WOULD TAKE HAND
IN HARVEST.
THIRTY MILES The FIRST DAY
Spend the Night Near Franklin.
Reach Nashville Wednesday After
noon Having Made Fifty-Five Miles
Two of Them Known in Columbia.

On their waysto work in the Kansas
wheat fields, making the trip of 800
miles on foot to further harden them
for the work, FIVE Marshall county
boys spent the night in Nashville
the Tulane Hotel. The young men
are: Paul A. Jones, Albert B. Crutch.
er, J. Herbert Orr, Doc Loin and
Scott w. Holden. They will resume
their journey Thursday morning, with
full determination to make the en-.
tire journey on foot.
Last season the young men, who
are students of the Hayes-McLean
school at Lewisburg, read in the daily
press that a number of young men
from Yale and Harvard, attracted by
the good prices paid, attempted to
take a hand" in the harvest fields
of Kansas, but found that their
strength was insufficient for the Or
deal. The FIVE young men from Mar
shall are familiar with farm work,
but in order to become still further
toughened, they decided to make the
trip on foot.
Their objective point is Clay Cen
ter, Kan, which they expect to reach
by July / The young men are men,
bers of some of the best families in
the middle section of the State and
have large acquaintance. At school
they stood high in their classes.
The start was made from Lewis
burg Tuesday. That night they found
accommodations seven miles from
Franklin, having walked thirty miles
the first day. Wednesday afternoon
they reached Nashville.
Two of these boys, Scott Holden
and Herbert Orr, are we'll known to
the younger people of Columbia, both
of them having appeared here in the
recent debate between the Haynes
Mclean School and the Columbia
High School.

can be secured on the crop, but it is
safe to say that the crop will be

Some of the biggest farmers of the
county insist that they will not sell
their wheat for the price offered OF

will hold it for higher figure later

Some splendid crops Of corn may
be seen over the county at this time.

which had never reached as much as
a million dollars per annum prior to
1886 now exceeds twelve million dol

rent year amount to about fifteen
million dollars in value, including
those sent TO the noncontiguous terri

TO Be WAGED
FOR MEMBERS
Clarksburg is to Receive a
Great Boost by Board
of Trade.
EXPANSION OF CITY
On a Large Scale is to Be
Early Outcome of the
Campaign.

Wanted, 500 men who believe in
Clarksburg.
Beginning this week the above
will be the slogan of the Clarks-
burg Board of Trade in great
campaignfor increased membership
for that organization.
The campaign will open Thursday
morning at 9 o'clock.
Fifty Clarksburg men will start
out from the board of trade offices
in the Oak Hall building to call on
their neighbors and ask them to Join
the Board of Trade in order to make
q greater Clarksburg.
The board of directors has had
a number OF important meetings of
late considering plans and methods
for perfecting a really strong, well
financed town development organi-
cation for Clarksburg.
West Virginia cities all around us
are forming such organizations and
each of these cities is getting re-
suits.
Now why shall Cuarksburg not
have the best board of trade in the
state?
Everybody in Clarksburg realizes
that Clarksburg is the best city in
West Virginia, but the trouble is we
keep it to ourselves.
A Chicago banker, Mr.. Vivian,
was here Saturday. and after going
about the principal streets, said:
4 am astonished at Clarksburg, with
your great modern buildings and
your many advantages as a manu-
featuring center, i confess that
did not know that there is city in
the world which can offer manufac-
turers four cent gas!"
Clarksburg people know about
our four cent gas, but the ques.
ton is, who else knows?
The idea of the enlarged board OF
trade is to let the world know the
advantages to be found in Clarks.
burg.
The way to do that is to build up
a strong promotion organization !.
The Board of Trade is the medium
through which to exert our efforts
The directors of the organization,
have therefore planned and are now
ready to launch campaign for 500
members of the board of trade.
At recent meeting the matter of
membership dues was considered
and the board decided to increase
the dues from $40 to SIS and take
applications for membership on a
three year basis in order to give
the organization the element of per-
manency.
The Board of Trade intends to
advertise clarksburg.
