A VALENTINE WEDDING.

The decorations at the Boston home for
Miss Dorothy Oullen's wedding were ex-
quisitely beautiful and proclaimed the
taste of Mrs. Henry Meinert as we'll as
of Mrs. Boston and the bride. All the
first floor was thrown together, the
portieres were removed from the arches
which were draped with red tulle
caught up with white tulle and outlined
with ivy. Palms, FERNS, ivy and bowls
of blossomming narcissi decorated the
hall and parlor. In honor of st. Valen-
tines day white and red in flowers,
hearts and cupids characterized the
decorations. All the candles were red
and were held in silver and crystal.
Several old chandeliers with dangling
prsms heirlooms in Mrs. Boston's fami-
ly stood on tall ivy-draped pedestals
that formed an approach to the altar
in corner of the parlor. Above the
prie-dieu before this altar white dove
with lowering wings was suspended,
holding in its bill shower of white
hearts. The satin pillows were borne to
this ace-draped prie-dieu by two of the
fower-girls and the aisle. was formed
by two others unwinding red tulle. The
punch-bowl was on table in the hall
against an immense mirror and was
decorated with malaga grapes. Mrs.
Floyd Northcutt and Minnie Lou Nc
Neel served punch.
The dining-room was brilliant with
sparkle of cut glass and the splendor of
crimson hearts and flowers. The cen
trail electrolier had its shade fringed
with dangling hearts just over the brides
cake which was on a tall stand and
decoratd with cupids hearts and a
fringe of hearts. There was tall cut
glass vase, filled with red carnations
and white narcissus, on each end of the
table, the minis were red hearts and
there were cut glass platters holding
balls of red spun candy. The silver
knife beside the cake had bow of
white satin ribbon with red hearts on
the ends, tied to the handle. When the
cake was cut Mrs. Rosser Little found
the thimble, Miss Jessie Reynolds the
dime and Mr.. Jesse Caldwell the ring.
The wedding ring was circlet of dia
monds set in platinum and the engage
ment ring was superb solitaire. The
presents were very handsome indeed,
many magnificent things in silver among
them. 1t was not a large wedding but
there were about fifty guests-only
close friends and relatives.
Mrs. Joseph M. Brown, who received
the guests, was handsomely dressed in
white satin draped with black chiffon
and trimmed in silver lace

About one. hundred witnesses. have

The whole populace of the county is
eagerly awaiting the result OF the in
vestigation.
After the grand jury had been en-
paneied yesterday Judge Maynard
gave a lengthy charge of nea' 5000
words. Judge Maynard said:
1T may be we'll to understand
now, however, that whatever steps
may be necessary will be promptly
taken and vigorously enforced. The
court does not undertake to recite all

The issue Of prohibition briggs the
people of this State face to face Wi IN
a crisis in their development. It will
decide whether West Virginia shall 0e
a commonwealth of free men, strong,
st'lf-rel1ant," self7governed,, independ-
ent; or a commonwealth of children
trained to rely upon the state to guide
them and direct their personal con-
duct; whether West Virginia shall.
have kindergarten or a free govern-
ment; whether citizens shall he train
ed to be a law unto themselves, or
dependent upon outside laws for the
formation Of character; whether we
shall have honest, frank, liberal. ind2-
pendent citizens, or weaklings intol-
Grants and hypocrites.
vast majority Of the counties Of
this state now have prohibition Ther,-
fore the adoption or defeat Of the pro-
posed statewide prohibition amend
ment would not affect the dry counties
so~far- as the manufacture Or sale-o
alcoholic beverages is concelned. In
many Of these counties, no doubt, the
prohibition law is fairly enfou ed, be-

The most ardent champion O. state
wide prohibition will not deny that
the foundation of all good government
is the consent of the governed In
every American community this prin-
ciple Is recognized by the people and
embodied in fundamental law. ,..--
The doctrine is equally we'll es-
tablished that virtue cannot be forced
upon men by law; it must be deveI-
oped in them by reason anu con-
science. Self-restraint is the only
true foundation of temperance, and
temperance us founded upon self-goy-
ernmont. ThereI is nothing in COM
mon between prohibition and ,empe"-
ance. 1t is ridiculous to link them
together in the effort to force a futile
and damaging constitutional rrohibi-
ton amendment upon West Virginia.
Every community w this State is
freely conceded the right to regulate
its own affairs and to establish the
social conditions and regulations bes.
suited to its needs. Every community
can determine for itself q her it
can enforce prohibition laws whether
prohibition or regulation better meets
Its needs and establishes conditions

cause the sentiment of a majority Of
the people of the county and of it's
small communities, is in favor of pro-
hibition. The situation is wholly DIFF
terent, however, in counties, commu1-
tiles &ld especially in cities where the
majorities are opposed to- prohibition:
.Wlt4..;th greater, number Of people
and majorities on juies opposed t.:
a prohibitory law, it would be impos-
sible to enforce it. This has ben the
experience of all nations, stat2r, num-
lclpalities, the world over. A law i'm
posed upon nation, state or commun-
ity, to which the majority of It's peo-
pie are opposed, has never been en-
forced and never can be enforced ex-
cept by overwhelming force Even
with overWh Ginning force, obedience to
the law is generally superficial I'm
der the surface there is disobedience
laWlessness and revolt against the la r.
In large cities the enforcement Of pro-
Edition laws is wel-nigh an impossi-
bllity. Intemperance is not checked,
nor is the saloon abolished but the
evils of the traffic are aggravated

 The club is composed of thirteen members of as fine specimens n! young manhood as one would wish to see and the entertainment they furnish is equal to that of the best professionals, as was attested by the numerous bursts of applause from the audience. It is safe to say that the Glee club will long be re- membered in Williams, and our people are again under obligations to Supt. Busser and the Santa Fe for ane more nights pleasure.

 There was decided drop in the temperature in this section last Saturday and Sunday. For 8 while it looked like we were going to have the much needed storm ol snow, but it amounted to but very little. Reports from the noun tains are that the snow fall was quite heavy. Along the north rim of the Canyon there was a fall ol about five inches. However, oul weather prophet assures us there is no need to worry for we will gel all the snow and rain we want dur ing the month of March.
