Pretty Tribute to Absent Elks.

The Alexandria Town Talk OF the
| 7th inst, in an account of the beau
tiful memorial exercises held the
preceding afternoon under the aus
pices OF the Alexandria lodge OF
Elks, makes the following compli-
mentary reference to the eloquent
address delivered on that occasion
by Hon R. n. Sims. OF this city
.sHon. r. N. Sims delivered the
general eulogy in q mastery man
ner, which was greatly appreciated
by his hearers. He began by re-
citing the noble and praiseWorthy
deeds OF the true Elk, and said that
this was the day set aside to hon
or the memory OF departed brethren.
That the name OF Elk was sufficient
to inspire confidence, as they by
precept and example labor for the
happiness of their brethren. Their
work is to uplift the lives of their
fellow man, spreading abroad the
altruistic principles of brotherly love.
Where goes the Elk there follows
the sunshine OF brighter day, said
the speaker.
- What is more fitting than to
gather together here to do honor to
our dead? Since the beginning Of
time, only those people are great
who are steadfast to their ancestry.
The sentiment In life is what makes
life worth living. Today our obliga-
ton is to our brothers who have
journeyed to the other shore. To
day is day of regret. and a day OF
rejoicing. Regret, that We can no
longer hear their familiar voices;
and rejoicing, that they have been
translated to better land.
Like the autumn leaves, We
all drop, one by one, from the tree
OF life. To live in hearts we leave
behind is not to die. God rest their
souls in peace.
The above is but a mere synopsis
Of the brilliant eulogy by Mr.. Sims.
Printed words fail to- give any but
a limited idea of the beauty OF the
address, =

GAS REDUCED TO
15c A 1000 feet.
United Fuel Company Cuts Rate in
Huntington, KenoVa, Etc.

The United Fuel Gas Company
has reduced the price of gas TO do
mestic consumers in Huntington,
Kenova, Barboursyille and Ceredo
TO fifteen cents per thousand.
We do not understand why Lou
lisa and Fort Cay have been over
looked in this important matter
and we shall not believe the dis
elimination is Intentional until the
company makes 1t plain that this Is
its purpose.
The following from the Hunting
ton Herald-Dispatch OF March 2fph
tells the story briefly:
The climax OF the fight between
the United Fuel Gas Company and
the Huntington Gas & Development
Company came early yesterday
morning when the United Fuel Gas
Company announced reduction OF
the Huntington Gas & Development
It's domestic rates TO meet those OF
Company.
The Huntington Gas & Develop
ment Company was organized by
the Chamber OF Commerce primarily
for the purpose OF affording cheap
Industrial gas In Huntington. Hun
dreds OF Huntington people are
stockholders.
For year the new company has
been going after domestic business
offering n rate five cents lower
than that charged by the foreign
company. Heretofore the old gas
company has refused TO admit that
the new company was serious
competitor. Here are the salient
features OF the rate reduction;
For gas consumed for domestic
purposes after the March meter
readings the United Fuel Gas Com
pany Will charge fifteen cents per
one thousand cubic feet.
This rate applies to Huntington,
Kenova. Barboursville and Ceredo
Waving the notice of thirty days
required by the law, the Public
Service Commission yesterday APP
proved the reduction.
" This action made It possible for
the rate to go into effect immedi-
ately.
The net reduction is five cents
on each one thousand feet.
The annual savings to the pat
rons OF the United Fuel Gas Com
pany in Huntington will be not less
than sixty thousand dollars.
