the time that In taking such action he
would subject himself to wholesale
denunciation from the more radical of
his own followers. In this he was not
mistaken. Perhaps no act of his first
year in the White House aroused more
indignant protest. Yet. looked at from
the distance of fifty years, it is plain
that Lincoln was right. Fremont clear
ly overstepped his authority and took
upon himself powers which belonged
only to congress. Aside from any

mafned governor till his death in 1864
Governor Gamble was born in Virginia
in 1913. was admitted to the bar at
the age of eighteen and had lived in
Missouri since he was twenty, or more
than forty years. He became one of
the foremost lawyers in the west and
served as chief justice of the Missouri
supreme court. There were few more
difficult positions to hold than that of
governor of a border state during the
war. but by his practical wisdom and
ability Governor Gamble won golden
opinions during his incumbency both
from the authorities at Washington
and the people of his own state.

Skirmishes In Virginia.

Two skirmishes of some Importance
Virginia. during the week. This
was the bridge destroyed by General
Wise in escaping from the Kanawha
valley a few weeks earlier On Aug
20, at point In the valley near Gau
ley, called Hawks Nest. the Eleventh
force of Confederates estimated at
1000, in which the Federals had all
the best of 1t, losing only three men.
while it was reported at the time that
the Confederates lost fifty killed and
a number taken prisoners.
A more notable affair occurred at
SuInmersville, about twenty-five miles
from Gauley, on the Goth Here the
Seventh Ohio, under the command of
Colonel Tyler, was surprised while at
breakfast and attacked on both flanks
and in front by a force reported as
twice its own number. 1t was a des-
perate situation, but the Ohio troops
finally managed to cut their way out
with considerable loss. inflicting more
damage than they suffered, however
The Federal loss was reported at
fifteen killed and about fifty wounded
anc prisoners. There were no reports
of the Confederate loss. but it was
known to have been heavy.
To understand the situation in west
ern Virginia at this time it should be
explained that General Robert E. Lee
was in command of the Confederates
in western Virginia and had sent Gen
eral John B. Floyd. late secretary of
war. into the Gauley valley with a

this was leading up to the battle o.
Carnifex Ferry. fought in the same

A Little Talk
On Electric
Light Bills.
TO THE CONSUMER:

'Tis seldom a seller of any COM
modify will advise his customers
how to reduce their payments to
him.
1t is a desire of the Electric Light
Co., however, to encourage better
understanding and friendship be.
tween the consumer and the compa
ny.
Occasionally a meter may register
fast or slow If you have reasons to
believe your meter is not accurate,
we desire that you frankly tell us and
we will make a test with pleasure
and without charge to you. If you
fear the meter readings are not cor
rect if you will call at our Office we
will gladly explain to you the dials
Of the meter and you may read your
own meter and see for yourself your
register of electricity consumed.
As to how to reduce your bill, the
elimination of what may be express.
ed in one word is the solution, that
word is Waste.
When two lights are used when
there should be but one the addition
al cost per hour is but a trifle but
if the same is generally practiced the
bill at the end of the month is double
Electric lights are the brightest,
the cleaneSt safest illumination
known, and per light unit, are the
cheapest.
Enjoy luxury of Electri. lights,
but eliminate or reduce your waste
and your light bills you will find re-
duced accordingly.
