MAKING GOOD
THE MADISON STREET DEPART=
MENT STORE HAS CLOSED A
GOOD YEARS BUSINESS.

Mr.. A. Harrison, O. the Madison
street Economy Store, has just closed
his first year in business in this city
very successfully and While he is COM
paratively new to the purchasing pub
Tic OF Fairmont and vicinity, lie has
advanced his acquaintanceship and
his list OF patrons in very rapid
manner by keeping his methods OF do
ing business constantly before the
public,
Mr.. Harrison was doing well in a
smaller West Virginia town out he
thought Falrmont offered him better
prospects 10 build up the kind Of bust
Eass he is capable of managing and
consequently he located in the "trac'
lion center" OF the State, where 1t is
possible to build up large business
without depending altogether on the
city trade for support.
He came to Fairmont well equipped
with both finances ana business ex-
pcrience to carry on the extensive
business he is now doing and he is
doing ns much rs any other man to-
keep Madison street on the business
map OF the city. His store is in fact
a department store carrying almost
every line of goods to meet home
needs and while it is not as large as
some OF the other stores Of the city,
he occupies two large store rooms,
stocked and his close per-
sonal attention to his business has
made him considerable factor in re-
tail circles.
An inspection OF his stock shows
that he not only carries the medium
priced goods but many lines OF the
most expensive quality are carried in
stock in sufficient quantities to salts.
fy the most particular buyer.

TWO WAYS. TO ADD TO GOOD
Nii

A large convention to promote5the
drainage OF wet, lands is about to meet
I'M Memphis and will serve TO dEect
public attention to the fact that there
are more ways than one to make
highly productive lands now lying
waste. One method is the irrigation
OF arid lands. and the other they re-
clamation OF lands too wet at present
to be titled The highest known de-
gree OF fertility Is found in alluvial
deposits when drained. Soil Of this
kind Is inexhaustibly rich when the
excess of water is removed. Millions
or acres that call for drainage are
familiar sight along some OF the
rivers of the Mississippi Valley. Some
day unQuestIonably they viii be re-
deemed ami add 10 the country's
wealth in crops. Drainage is a ques'
tion that CATS IS.' concerted pubic
action. Groups OF men can do some
thing, but points are involved that
must be dealt with legSmtfveIy.

eral to irrigation in the arid States.

The plan adopted is TO sell the irriSat-

useless into fruitful farms that will
be permanently protected against

An unusual form of testamentary
gratitude is recorded in the diary of
Henry Greville. "A man who had
spent much of his time in fishing left
a direction in his will that as he had
derived much nourishment as well as
pleasure from the fish he had caught
at Chertsey it was only fair to the
descendants of those fish that he in re-
turn should become their food. He
therefore desired that his body should
be cast into the Thames at Che-tsey. :"

cling minister, collecting funds for
church orphanage in Memphis, was
the speaker for the day. Miss Miner
va rarely missed a service in her own
church. She was always on hand at
the Love Feast and the Missionary
Rally and gave literally of her means
to every cause. She was sitting in
her own pew between Billy and Jim
my, Mr. and Mrs. Garner having re-
manned at home. Across the aisle from
her sat Frances Black, between her.
father and mother; two pews in front
Of her were Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton,
with Lima on the outside next the
aisle. The good Major was there,
too; 1t was the only place he could
depend upon for seeing Miss Minerva.
The preacher, after an earnest and
eloquent discourse from the text, He
will remember the fatherless," closed
the big Bible with a bang calculated
to wake up any who might be Sleep
ing. He came down from the pulpit
and stood close to his hearers as he
made his last pathetic appeal.
my own heart" said he, goes out
to every orphan child, for in the yell
low fever epidemic Of rs, when but
two years old, l lost both father and
mother. If there are any little orphan
children here today, l should be glad
II they would come up to the front
and shake hands with me-"
Now Miss Minerva always faithful
ly responded to every proposal made
by preacher; it was a part of her
religious conviction. At revivals she
was ever a shining, If solemn and aus
tere, light. When a minister called
for all those who wanted to go to
Heaven to rise, she was always the
first one on her feet. If he asked
to see the raised hands Of those who
were members of the church at the
tender age of ten years, Miss Miner
vas thin, long arm gave a prompt re-
Spouse. Once when celebrated
evangelist was holding a big pro-.
tracted meeting under canvas in the
town and had asked those who had
read the book Of Hezekiah in the
Bible to stand up, Miss Minerva on
one side Of the big tent and her de-
voted lover on the other side were
among the few who had risen to their
feet. She had read the good book
from cover to cover, from Genesis to
Revelation over and over SO she
thought she had read Hezekiah a
score of times.
So now, when the preacher called
for little orphans to come forward,
she leaned down and whispered to
