teachings and took that great
book as her guide. She lived a
christian life and was prepared
for the end. Her husband and
five children survive her and t.
them the Bulletin extends sin.

Democratic State Committee H9ets

Pursuant to call Of Chairman
w. G. Bennett, the Democratic
State Executive Committee met
in Petersburg Friday, with a
full membership in attendance
and the assembly room of the
Chancellor Hotel crowded with
enthusiastic Democrats from all
parts of the state. Perfect har
mony was in evidence on every
side and Republicans are sorely
disappointed to see the Demo
Gratis acting in accord while their
own party is so hopelessly dis
rupted over the presidential NOM
ination.
Huntington was unanimously
decided upon as the place for
holding the state convention on
July 10th, at which time all state
officials and a congressman at
large will be nominated. Par
kersburg was selected as the
place for holding the state dele
gate convention and the date
fixed is June 9th. while district
delegate conventions will be held
in the several congressional dis
tricts on June 4th. At the state
delegate convention nominees
for the Supreme court will be
chosen.
The basis of represention for
delegates to both conventions was
fixed at one for each one hun
dred votes cast for Bennett for
Governor in 1903. This appor-
tionment will entitle Calhoun
county to twelve delegates in
each convention.
The Johnson Senatorial pri-
mary plan which provides for the
selection of a candidate for Unit

report to the Committee en- April
End at which time that body will
meet at Parkersburg.

In Memory Of MOllis Pngh.

IT'S hard to part with one so
dear,
With one we loved so fondly
here;
But then why should we weep or
mourn
For she has gone to Heaven, her
home.
When almost gone she tried to
tell
The Angels pretty she bcheld.
1t was the blessed Savior come
To watt her gentle spirit home.
Dear Mollie Pugh is now at
rest,
She's safe at home on Jesus
breast.
She looks for pa and ma to come
TO dwell with Jesus round the
throne.
We laid poor MolIie Pugh away,
The cold cod tomb is now her
bed.
She sleers, the blessed Mas ler
says,
She sleeps she sleeps with al tho
dead.
Cod help us all to live and do
That when we come down to die,
With Angels then to sing Gods
praise,
And Mollie Pugh beyond the sky.

The Corsica was bound for Baltimore, as
was also the Wethered. The latter was
tacking to westward. when the steamer
cut across her stern, tearing away all
of that portion entirely, and she filled
rapidly.
Vessel Quickly Fills.
There was no danger of the vessel going
down, but SO quickly did she fill that
Capt Jarrett and his crew Of three were
unable to save any Of their belongings.

upon a friendly neutral state, not to lay
down terms Of peace. but to bring the
principals into friendly conference with
that purpose.
1t is true that article defines the duty
of a mediator to be in reconciling the
opposing claims and appeasing the feel
ngs of resentment which may have
arisen between the states at variance.
But it is felt here that now that the
hostile states have OF their own volition
entered into an armistice and begun the
discussion of peace conditions they have
to a certain extent anticipated the good
Offices of a mediator, and that at this
stage better progress toward a solution
Of the problem Of the restoration Of peace
can be made by direct dealing between

OF third parties, no matter how benevo-
lently inclined.
