Roy Miller Drowned.

On Tuesday evening Of last
week Roy Miller, an eighteen
year old boy, was drowned in
the Little Kanawha river at the
mouth of Bells run. while in
bathing with a party Of friends.
1t is supposed that the young
man was stricken with cramps.
He had gone 10 the river after a
hard, hot days work and the
cold water proved too much for
him. Tbs body was recovered a
short time after the sad event
took place, but efforts towards
resuscitation proved ineffective.
Mr.. Miller was in the employ
of Deems Bros, the faw-mill
people, and was a hardworking
young man. His many friends
in that section OF the country
will be greatly shocked to hear
of his demise.

 Every city of any importance in the country has we'll organized body, established for charitable work. With United Charities in this city the rJsf work can be most thoroughly systemized and so perfect will 1t be- come that no case of Restitution can escape attention in the future.
