has been more peace talk since
Mr.. Carnegie gave his $4,000

some of the talk is as foolish as

thousands of people are dying
every day for want of food,

two cents will buy sufficient
food for one person until the new
crops are gathered.
Thousands of dollars have been
sent to the sufferers and is daily

Have you contributed your
mite to this cause? IF not act
quick as thousands are dying
daily. One lady, who prefers

has contributed $500 for this
great work, and at her request
the Williamson Enterprise will
be glad to receive contributions,
no matter how small they may
be and forward them at once to
the Christian Herald, at New
York.
We feel that there is a large
number of people in our town who
would like to contribute small
amounts for this great work, but
refrain from doing so on account
of the size of the contribution.
For this reason, we will be glad
to accept small amounts, which
will be greatfully received.
Don't delay, people are starv-
ing, and remember if you con-
tribute at least two cents you'll
have saved life.

railroads. How poor they are
getting carrying the mails.

The Better
Understanding

The. more, intimate rela-
tons between thissBank and
the public itserves, has come
from a better understanding
of mutual relations. The
point of the educational cam
paign this Bank has entered
upon is solely with the idea
Of being HELPFUL.
Every dollar that has been
lost in purely spec ulative
scheme, in wildcat invest
ments, has been a distinct
and lasting injury to. the
community from which such
losses come. and an irrepar-
able damage to enterprises
of merit worthy the fullest
measure of public confidence.
X While we shall conduct
this campaign against the
schemes that are transpar-
emily fraudulent on their
face, and possibly mention
facts to ''adorn a tale" and
hold aloft the banner of
KNOWN VALUES, we want to
emphasize the fact now that
where YOU find the public
prejudiced against worthy
enterprises, hating local de-
.velopment, it IS in commu-
mites where loss has been
incurred in senseless specu-
latlon where the bucket
shops lure the. public into a
game where you can't see
the dealer" where securities
OF PROSPECTIVE value are
spread in allurlng forms on
the commercial bargain
counter to tempt greed with
impossible. returns.
A strong Bank like the
Mingo County Bank, Will
hanson, w. Va, with four
hundred thousand dollars of
assets guaranteeing safety
may well concern itself with
conditions that are breeding
dlstrust of worthy enter
prlses and hating develop
ment. Every man may well
concern himself in fostering
conditions that make for the
prosperity of men, the sta.
bhlty of business, and the
development of communities.

OUR CANDIDATES.

The ticket nominated by the
Democrats ought to appeal to
every one interested in the well
fare of the City of Williamson.

the very best men and their diff

man will be represented.
The Democratic party has al
ways done their best to please
the people as a whole, and work
for the advancement and uplft-
of the city, and while the past
administrations have done much

accomplish.
We realize thatit takes time,
good manage ment and persever-
ance to accomplish lasting good,
and the party is always alert and
ready to push forward and the
candidates we put forward this
time should speak more than
anything else that the progress
of Williamson will continue.
Mayor A. C. Pinson, who has
been unanimously chosen to sue
coed himself, needs no praise.
His administrations as mayor
have been without spot or blem-
ish and his straight forward,
buslness-llke way of doing things
is to be admired by all.

]. F. Keyser, is one Of the pion-
GERS of Williamson, and his sta
bllity OF character and good bust

every one.
The candidates for councilmen
all are men who have the welfare
of the city at heart and are well
qualified to perform their duties.

the First National Bank, is self

mainly due to his unceasing eff
forts and good business ludg-
ment.
DR.. Tunis Nunne maker will be
a valuable man on the council.
especially as the schemer for inn
provement of our water works
system is to be undertaken. be-
sides the doctor has the. making

council in all its deliberations.
J. w. Peters, who is largely
interested in real estate certain
ly has his whole heart in the
welfare of Williamson, and there
will be no mistake in electing
him.
J. w. Vaughan is one of our
oldest and most respected citi-
zens, a good man, attentive to
duty, and always obliging to the
public. He is large property

In the welfare of the city.
Bank Hi Williamson is we'll
known by every bod young and
old, rich and poor whom he is
always ready to meet and oolige.
He is financier and likes to do
all he can for Williamson.
Cecil Scott is a laboring man,
and one of our most respected
citizens. He lives in East Will
hanson and will'make a No. one

to use. No need to experiment. It has
cured many stubborn cases in this Vi
cinity.

welly Va, says: II consider Doan's

Confirms Sale.

A case of more than ordinary in
terest was decided by Judge Harrison
at the term of Court which closed
Wednesday.
At the sale Of the Frederick Lonas
farm near Mt. Jackson, by Commits
sioner L. Triplett, Jr., Arthur Wilkin
became the purchaser in considera.
ton of IS, SEQ.
Objection was made to the confirma
ton OF the sale by Charles w. Lonas,
who claimed that in consideration of
his dropping out as bidder Wilkin
would sell him ten acres of the tract
purchased for $50. per acre. Suisse
quently. so Lonas claimed, Wilkin
refused to abide by the agreement.
Wilkin, his father and other inter-
ested parties denied Knowledge of
such an agreement, which, had it ex-
listed, would have vitiated the sale to
Wilkin because of collision between
bidders to hold down the price OF the
property.
]. D. Scothern placed an upset bid
on the property and the confirmation
of the sale was opposed and resale
to Scothern asked for.
Judge Harrison held that in as much
as the evidence did not disclose col
fusion between the bidders, and not
withstapding Scothern's bid, the sale,
as made by the Commissioner, should
stand and decree was entered to
that effect.
The Court stated that Scothern was
present and bidder at the Commits
sioner's sale, and that his opportuni-
ty to buy the farm at that sale pre-
cllded the acceptance of his upset
bid.
