Lynn S. OIes Injured

While attending to his duties
as towerman at the West Virgin
Ia Carbon Factory Thursday
morning of last week, Lynn S.
Oles received severe and painful
injuries which will cripple his
hand for a few weeks. Mr.. Oles
was working at a power drill and
accidentJy got his hand caught in
some cog wheels which were un-
guarded. The middle finger of
his right hand was drawn up in
to the wheels to the second Joint
and the flesh badly lacerated and
the bone split before the machine
could be stopped. He was brougt
to this place by his father and
the wound was dressed by DR..
J. A. Morford. For a while it
was feared that amputation would
be necessary, but it is now
thought that he will get along
without it and that in a few
weeks he will be able to resume
his duties.

Grantsville, w. Va, Thursday, October %. 1915

Colonel McGraw was accused of
having borrowed $4,000 more
from the Grafton bank, of which
he was director and which was
recently closed, than the limit
set by law to any one person.
Judge Neil j. Fortney ruled,
however, that the statute under
which the Indictment was found
was not enacted until after the
alleged commission of the act
charged against him in the in
dictment. The court held furth-
er that the act charged even if
shown to have been committed
after the enactment of the law
would not have made a crime or
violation of the law on the part
of Colonel McGraw.

BaptiStS are for Wilson

The high regard with which
President Wilson is held by men
prominent in the religious world
was shown in the address by DR..
H. 9. Mabie, of Boston, given at
the closing session of the Baptist
General Association in this city
on Saturday. DR.. Mabie paid a
great compliment to President
Wilson for bringing peace and
order out of the difficulty with
Germany, commended him in the
strongest terms for his Christian
craftsmanship and expressed the
fervent hope that no party would
seriously oppose his reelection,
although DR.. Mabie stated that
he was not a member of the
same political party as the Pres
ident. He unhesitatingly stated
that the prayerful devotion of
the man in the White House and
his conception of American duty
and honor should result in his re-
election. That DR.. Mabie was
not alone in his belief was shown
by the applause with which his
remarks were received by the
audience. -Parkersbug Sentinel.

Boosts Former CalhOunerS

Under the caption, MEN
Worth While" the Kanawha
News, of Elizabeth, has some
good things to say of a former
Calhoun countian. Mr.. Martin
is a son of the late Joshua and
Rachel Martin, who resided near
this place. He left this county
several years ago and his friends
here will be glad to know that
he has prospered in Writ county.
The article is as follows:
Among other fine folks from
the good county of Calhoun who
have located in Writ and are rec
ognized as being among her best
citizens, are Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry +. Martin, who were visitors
here Saturday.
Mr.. Martin owns a farm at
the head of Two Ripple which
shows evidence of thrift and in
dustry not only on his part but
also on the part of the good wife,
and at this home genuine hospi-
tality is dispensed to their
friends. They are of that class
of folks who are quiet and unas-
Stunning in manner and yet occu.
Ply a place of more or less promi-
hence in any community in which
they may reside, because of their
genuine worth as respectable
and progressive people.
A chief characteristic of Mr..
Martins is that he wants to do
right and be right in all things,
and any mistakes he may make
are of the head and not of the
heart. Men of this character
are a blessing to our county as
they vouchsafe to it protection
against those influences which
disgrace civil, political and off
cial life. May he prosper and
his tribe increase is the wish of
J the News"

sheriff and he and the old town
officers are under indictment with
many others for dealing in
booze. But by some means
we now have one and Lerhaps
two members of the town coun-
Gil who are aiding bootleggers,
but their official days are
numbered, and the vendors of
White MILE, as they call the
stuff, are having a rough road to
travel and sooner or later come
to grief. We have a few drinks
each week, few robberies and
holdups. many drunken rows,
two or three murders, many sep
arations of man and wife, and
many other crimes that are net
new to men Of the wild and
woolly West. However, | am
located away from the business
part of town and am not bother
ed with any of these sad affairs.
There is but little farming land
near here but good crops were
raised where any farming was
done. But they tell me that
they usually do not have enough
rain here to produce good crops
except along the large streams.
Speaking of streams | will
state that we have several flow
ing wells that are drilled in the
/ middle of the Cimeron river and
producing several barrels of oil
daily. The land owners and the
government are about to get into
suit in regard to whom the riy-
erbed belongs to in that part of
the state. The oil field people
seem to enjoy litigation and the
laws Of Oklahoma give them am
pie room to start them and plen-
w OF room to carry them on.
There are many minor children
here who receive large royalties
and must have guardians, and
some people much desire to hold
that position and sailing to land
the job they pick some magma
ry flaw and go into law to cor
the mistake, and some one pays
the expense and the officers col
lect the dues.

From Spencer Times

Everett Starcher, of Rocks

Parkersburg this week.
Commodore Nutter, of Leath-
erbark, who recently had two
fingers of his right hand cut off

Mr.. G. F. Mace, who has been
a resident of Spencer for the
past ten months, advises us that
he will move back to his old
home near Rocksdale sometime
next week. Mr.. Mace is a good
citizen and people generally will
be sorry to note that he is to
leave Spencer.

The School Fair
"a. E. Weaver)

/
AS it was formally announced
at our county institute that we
would have another school fair
this fall, l presume it is pretty
well understood among teachers
and pupils and | hope prepara-
ton is being made for the fair
throughout the schools Of the
county. The fair last fall was a
great success for the first in the
county but we ought have bet
ter one this year. In some coun-
ties the school fair is made an
annual certainly it is a
good thing why not in Calhoun?
For the past two years we have
had the biggest Farmers Insti
tutes in the state. Let's have
the biggest School Fair. Almost
every phase of school work can
be represented in some way at
the fair if the teacher is skillful
in planning for it. And almost
all products of the farm may be
presented. | would like for
farmers to feel that the fair is
as much for them as it is for the
schools. If you have some good
corn, wheat. pumpkins, potatoes,
apples, cabbage or any other
good farm products, save some
of them for the fair. and see to
it that you bring or send them in.
You may make yourself famous
by winning a prize. And if you
don't win you will help to make
the fair success.
Now, ! want to stan an item
lied list of prizes and what they
are offered for in the county pa
pers. and | hope some of our
good citizens will be liberal in
helping make up a list of prizes.
God loves cheerful giver," you
know. Prizes need not be so
very expensive for the honor of
winning is worth a great deal.
II you are offering a prize for
some one of the best farm pro-
ducts any useful farm tool would
make a very good prize, | think.
If you wish to offer something
you may notify me or either one
of the county editors telephone
or send a Garland we will put
your name on the list of those
offering prizes. Don't wait on
the other fellow for he may be
waiting on you.
| am offering one Babcock
Milk Tester and | hope the the
school that wins this prize will
test the milk of all the COWS in
the community and thereby show
what they are worth, who has
the best COW, etc.
The date Of the fair will be
made known in the near future.
