Washington, Aug. Especial:
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is at the point
of death this morning. Physicians
practically have given up hope oil
recovery.
President Wilson has been at the
bedside of Mrs. Wilson almost on
stantly for several days and her pro-
tracted illness for several months Is
causing worry in official circles.
1t was while sitting beside his wife,
his constant helpmate and adviser,
that the president wrote his message
to the European crowned heads ap-
pealing to them to stay their conflict
and discuss peace. Only those in
closest touch with the president have
known of the severe strain under
which he has been during the last
fortnight.
No announcements have been
made about Mrs. Wilson's illness and
persons at the White House were dis
posed to believe that she had slight
ly improved. She first took sick last
March and 1t is understood has been
suffering from a complication of ner-
vous ailments.

played on the national stage. When
a merchant, after a tussle with man
ufacturers and importers. gets a
block of goods at low price that has
a high value, 1t is an event far more
intimately connected with home life
than news from the European battle
fields.
When he finds that through his own
error of judgment, or because of
reasonable conditions beyond human
control, he has overstocked and must
close out to turn his goods to cash,
that. too, is a public event more Inn
portant to the house wife than some
far on earthquake or fire with all its
tragedy.
discriminating buyers know very
we'll that there are always bargains
in every store. There are many con-
ditions that compel merchants at var
ious times to offer goods below their
real worth: No human mind can es-
innate Just what kind OF goods the
public will take to. The overstock on
certain lines often consists of the
most substantial goods, which did not
sell because not SNOWY enough. Notes
must be paid and new stocks must be
put in, and the result Is a profit for
the trailer of bargains.
Years ago, the customer had to
come around and dig special values
out by her own persistence. Today
the advertisement writer saves. her
all that bother, and she finds in her
fayorite newspaper full directory Of
special values
Wherefore newspaper readers who
take the pains to go through the ad-
vertising columns almost Invariably
find things meeting their needs, to
be had at lower price for some good
reason.

over thirty million dollars in October
1913. That might look as II the war

Jacksop,s BIrtbpIaee

The contention as to the actual
birthplace Of -Stonewall' jackson, the
noted Confederate general, will moi
down. although the Telegram has
been doing its best to call forth suffic-
lent proof for the satisfaction Of other
aud doubling newspapers of the state
The latest to join the ranks Of those
who would like to be shown is the
Huntington Herald-Dispatch and in
connection with It's remarks the Park
eTsburg State Journal reiterates its
appeal for a settlement of the ques.
ton.
The State Journal has had no par
ticular desire TO claim Parkersburg
aS the birthplace of Stonewall Jack
son; in fact 1t has been inclined to
believe he did not first see the light
OF day in this city, but. the state
ment having been made by reliable
man, that he was born here with
much Sircumstantiality, and there
being as yet no proof. 10 the contrary,
this paper has been urging that the
matter be definitely settled, II 1t can
be shown that Clarksburg is entitled
to the honor of the matter. The Hun
Itington Herald-Dispatch Joins in this
view, expressing itself in the follow
ing way on the subject:
"A number Of West Virginia edi-
tors have, revived the contention re-
garding the birthplace of Stonewall
Jackson, the most eminent West Vir-
ginian. Some claim Parkersburg
gave him to the world, discounting
the long accepted theory that. he was
born at Clarksburg. 1t is strange that
there should be controversy upon a
point which, ordinarily, ought to be
readily authenticated Still, who
knows where ,Stonewall was born
and what are the proofs? The thing
Is worthy Of settlement in the inter-
est OF correct biography for one OF
our great national characters !"
Goodspeed's reminiscent history Of
northern West Virginia published in
1896 says that Thomas ]. jackson,
the noted general, more familiarly
known as 'StonewalI Jackson, was
born in Clarksburg, w. Va, January
81, 1924. His REORGANIZATION came
to this country from London, Eng
land, in 174S, and in Maryland was
married to- Elizabeth Cummings, soon
after which he moved to West Viz
ginia, where he founded large fam
fly. When seven years old, Thomas
]. jackson was left an orphan by the
death Of his father, who was law
yer, and for short time thereafter
he made his home with his paternal
aunt, Mrs. Brake, but Directing to the
treatment OF his uncle, he took shell
ter under the roof OF a half-brother
of his father, Cummings jackson, In
Lewis county"
This authority states that a few
years later he and his brother War
rem went to live With maternal
uncle, Mr.. Neale, on Blennerhassei
island in the Ohio river and that is as
near as he could have been born in
Parkersburg.
