Threatens to Send Troops

Gov. Hatfield stirred up some
of the citizens of Wheeling and
ONO county, generally, few
days ago, by an alleged utter
ance wherein he threatened to
send the State troops up there to
enforce the prohibition law. Just
across the Ohio river, from
Wheeling, are saloons in the
nearby Ohio towns and thirsty
Wheelingites journey across on
trolley cars, iii automobiles and
afoot to get their booze. But
notwithstanding this near supply
there are said to be numerous
full equipped bar rooms in
Wheeling, running full steam
ahead. They have simply moved
upstairs, we are told, and are
continuing to dispense the same
kind of liquors sold before the
State went dry" Fred Blue
has done his darndest to stop
them. but grand juries are not
disposed to indict and when they
do petit juries will not convict.
SO the Governor, in a moment of
haste, says he is going to send
troops up there to stop the
selling of liquor. Whether he
will declare martial law and try
the offenders by court martial
he did not say. Hampshire Re-

Foster Williams Missing

Quite bit of alarm was oc-
casioned here the latter part of
last week by a dispatch from
Akron. Ohio, in the Cincinnati
Post that Foster H. Williams, of
Barberton. Ohio, was missing
and that a bloody Ratchet and
one of Williams caps had been
found on the floor OF his office.
Relatives here at once wired
Barberton and found out that
the part of the message concern
ing his disappearance was true,
but their fears that he had met
with foul play were soon allayed.
Mr.. Williams is the son of
Mayor and Mrs. l.. M. Williams,
of this place, and has been in
Barberton, a suburb of Akron,
for several years in charge of a
newspaper. MIR. Williams is a
young man of steady and tenn
perate habits and according to
telephone communications with
his Barberton friends there is no
business or social reason why he
should leave his home. His
friends here are puzzled over his
disappearance but feel sure that
they will hear from him in a few
days.
Mayor Williams and w. J.
Mathews, a brother-in-law, left
Sunday for Barberton to assist in
unraveling the mystery. but up
to this time nothing has been
learned that throws any light up
on the affair.

Big Price for Seed Corn

Good seed corn will be scarce
and high priced next spring."
says Director G. r. Titlow, of
the Agricultural Extension De-
partment, after having toured
the agricultural sections of elev-
en- of the big corn producing
states. "A cold, late spring, alb
normally cool. summer weather
and excessive rainfall have de-
layed the corn crop to such an
extent that it is now evident
that hundreds of thousands of
bushels will not mature before
frost. West Virginia farmers
have been somewhat more for
tunate in this respect than have
farmers in neighboring states
and the demand for good seed
will probably be heavy"
Every farmer who has crop
OF well matured. high grade corn
should take extra care to select
all the best ears and properly
store them for seed next spring,
If he has more than is required
for his own fields. he can easily
sell the surplus.
Field selection enables the
farmer to pick out good ears that
have grown under normal condi-
tions-that is, in a hill containing
the usual number of stalks and
in soil of average fertility. 1t
also enables him to avoid taking
ears from hills containg barren
stalks and has many other ad.
yantages.
Properly storing the corn for
winter is just as important as
field selection. The main point
is to have the corn thoroughly
dried out before freezing wealth
er sets in. 1t is the freezing and
thawing of the excess moisture

Mrs. Jane HOsey

One of Grantsville's oldest and
best loved residents, Mrs. Jane
Hosey, was called to rest from a
life of good works and Christian
deeds Friday morning. Mrs.
Hosey had been in poor health
for several years and her death
was not unexpected. She was
eighty-four years of age and her
death was due to diseases incl
dent to her advanced age.
Mrs. Jane Hosey, daughter of
John and Margaret Belts, was
born in Nicholas county, in 1881.
She was married to Joseph A.
Hosey on March 81. 1850, by Rev.
Richard Walker. To this union
were born five children, all of
whom survive except one. She
was preceded to the Great Beyond
by one son, John Coils, and her
husband. At the early age of
twelve years she was converted
and united with the M. P. church
but several years ago she remov-
ed her membership to the M. E.
South church at this place and
was ever after a faithful and
consistent member.
Mrs. Hosey is survived by four
children as follows: Mrs. Virginia

Train Robbers Make Big Haul

Much excitement was created
all over West Virginia Friday
when dispatches were sent out
announcing that B. & O. train
No. l, the New York-St. Louis
express, had been held up at
Central and the mail car robbed
of more than two million dollars.
Each succeeding days dispatches
have lessened the sum, however,
until it has been determined that
less than $50, 900 was secured by
the robbers.
1t IS said that there were four
OF the bandits, two of whom got
on the train at Cumberland and
two of whom were waiting when
the train pulled into Central. a
small station i'll Harrison county.
for water. Two of the bandits
entered the mail car and forced
the clerks to leave, and the other
two cut the engine and mail car
loose from the rest of the train
and proceeded west to near Toll
Gate where the robbers left the
engine and mail car. Before
leaving, however, they secured
about sixty thousand dollars in
federal bank notes which were
in transit to Federal Reserve
Banks in the west. After leav-
ing ToIlgate it is thought that
the bandits worked their way to
the Ohio river and crossed near
Sistersville, although no definite
trace of them has been found.
Innumerable posses are securing
the country between the B. & o.
and the Ohio river and although
many supposed clues have been
found, nothing sure has been
discovered, and it is a rather
safe bet that the robbers will es-
cape with their loot.
