To Hold q New Election.

To Hold q New Election.
As may be seen by advertisement else
where in this paper, the president ard
secretary OF the Morgan's Grove Agri-
cultural Association have issued call
for a meeting of the stockholders on Sat-
urday, February 7th, when new board
of directors will be elected. 1t is con-
fidently believed that at this election the
difficulties of the association will be set
tied satisfactorily, for the stockholders
are interested as never before, and they
will be present in such numbers that their
action promises to be very emphatic.
Those who have been active in the sup
port of the fair in the past are DESTROYS
only of having as IFS directors men who
will be sincere and efficient in their ef-
forts to continue the exhibition satiSfac-
torily to the stockholders and the COM
munity, and we believe that this will be
the result of the next meeting. The in
temperate and unreasonable comments
and the Misrepresentation that have
been made in regard TO the management
of the fair have aroused the stockholders.
and they will straighten out the situation.
We agree with our neighoor, the In
dependent, in one thing. namely, that
"there's niger in the woodpile." But
fortunately he has been smoked out and
no further danger from him need be an
ticipated.

William Rose Has Fearful Accident.

Wlliam Rose T1aS Fear1ul ACCIDENT.
William Rose, well-known resident
of Kearneysville, had frighlful expert
ence last Monday night. He had been
to Martinsburg, and returning home on
freight train he fell under the wheels as
he was attempting to get off the train near
D. L. Magruder's residence. One of his
legs was cut off above the knee, hanging
on by shred of flesh. The injured man
managed TO drag himself across the tracks
and down an embankment so as to avoid
further injury from passing trains, and
there he lay the balance OF the night
The accident occurred about II o'clock,
and he was not able TO secure help until
about half past five O'Clock in the morn
ing. His calls for assistance were heard
by several persons, but the people Of
that neighborhood hear so much noise
from disturbances along the railroad they
have ceased to pay attention to them.
Early in the morning Mr.. Blue and Mr.
Cave discovered that the man had been
injured, and they went to his relief. Mr.
and Mrs. Magruder had him brought to
their home, where they ministered to
him. Rose showed great nerve, and after
all the hours of suffering still kept his
composure and strength. Later he was
taken to hospital in Martinsburg, where
the limb Was amputated and his injuries
attended to. He has since been in SER
louS condition, but may recover. Rose
came from the neighborhood of Luray,
Va, some years ago, and has since been
living in the Kearneysville nelghborhood.
He has wife and two children.
