WESTON


WESTON, July 19.-The funeral OF
Mrs. William Mcbride, who died in
Johns Hopkins hospital in Balti-
more, following an operation for can
Ger of the breast, took place here
today. Her body arrived at Weston
Thursday accompanied by her hus-
band and daughter Nellie, who were
with her at the time of her death.
Mrs. Mcbride was in her seventy
second year, She was a daughter of
the late Elias Fisher. She was born
and reared in this city, and lived
here until few years ago when the
family went to their farm on Middle
run. She is survived by a husband
and FIVE children, three brothers and
one sister, Mrs. ]. w. K. Hays, who
lives in this city. Mrs McBride's
brothers, Louis, George and Saul
Fisher, all reside in the West and it
was impossible for them to attend
the funeral on account of the distance
and time required to reach here.
1t is now certain that new mem
her of the board of education will
have to be elected by the citizens of
the city before any teachers can be
appointed for the coming term. AT
the last meeting of the board no
agreement was reached, and each
meeting does not seem to draw the
two officiating members any closer
together. Some OF the teachers are
! receiving requests from other schools
to accept positions, and some have
decided to take up work elsewhere
i the appointments are not made
during the next few days.
J. A. Chittum, Republican candidate
for sheriff, has let contract for five
new residences in the MeGary addi-
ton and work will be begun at once.
Each building is to be large and
comodious two story structure.
Mr.. Albert Aman and Miss Grace
Mayberry were married Wednesday
at the Catholic church at Fink by the
Rev, Mr.. Delaux Several friends of
the bride and bridegroom from this
city attended the wedding.
]. W. Walker took his adughter,
Miss Jeanette, to Clarksburg today
and she will receive treatment at St.
Mary's hospital there. She has been
in poor health for several weeks, and
but little hope is entertained for her
recovery.
