The Telegram takes great pleas
ure in herewith presenting the like
ness Of the Rev. W. B. King, the
new pastor Of the First Methodist
Episcopal church Of this city, and
1t hopes thereby to aid in the intro
duction of this new pastor to the
people of the community generally.
The Rev. Mr.. King has been high
ly succcssfulsin the Methodist min
istry and his pastorate here promises
to mark a signal expansion of
Methodism in this community. At
early manhood after. passing
through the. schools the Rev. Mr..
King, who was born and reared In
Parkersburg. associated himself
with Judge 4. ~. Tavenner. Of that
city, in the practice of law. in
which he continued five years. TWEEN
ty-three years ago he became con-
yerted and went to preaching. The
first five years of his service was
on the circuit. his last year in such
service being at West Milford. His
first church was at Smithburg. He
was pastor OF the church at Man
nington two years and, It was dur
ing his ministry there that the pres
ent splendid. edifice@- was erected;
next he served, the First church at
Moundsville six years, and he was
then transferred to the North Gas
tern, o.. Conference. in which he
served as pastor of the Urichsville.
! o.. church two years and then the
Miles Park avenue church in Cleve-
land four years. after which he was
.re.tranSferred to the West Virginia
Conference and stationed at Elllins
three years. He next became pas
!tor of the First church at Grafton
where he served one year and was
assigned by the conference at its
recent sessions in Parkersburg to
the pulpit of the First church here.
The local congregation is espe-
cially well pleased with the auspi-
cious manner in which the Rev. Mr..
Kings pastorate here has begun, and
lit is hopeful that the church will
accomplish great deal under his
leadership.

MEXICAN OUTLAWS HOLD

Local Council Of Organization
Joins Hosts in State against
Proposed Action.

At recent regular meeting OF
Clarksburg Council, No. %, United
Commt real T;ag..le1a Of America, j..
]. Crews. Z. F. Hood and v. E..
Cooke We're appointed to draft res
'olution OF prot.;t agent thu proposed
advance In ttls frcig.t rate on West
Virginia coal t:ulee to the northern
and western 1narkets.
The fo',owng resolution has been
drafted and adopted:
iss'neeeas, the various railroads
serving the coai fields Of West Virgin
Ia are proposing to advance the
freight rate on all coal hauled to
markets north Of the Ohio river.
meanwhile rates on coal mined in GER
tai, northern coal fields are not to
be advanced.
BE it resolved:
i. That We deem this action of
the railroad companies unjust, and q
threat at the very l:f.. of the coal In
dustry Of West Virginia.
2. That this action on the part of
the railroad companies is unreason-
able and unfair to the business inter-
ests Of West Virginia; as it places an
additional burden on practically ev-
cry ton OF coal moving from West
Virginia to the northern and western
markets.
8. That IL the proposed increase
should go into effect, West Virginia
operators would not be on competi-
tive basis in the coal markets OF the
north and west, thereby forcing
many OF them to suspend operation,
throwing thousands Of industrious
and thrifty wage earners and citizens
out Of employment and reduce them
to poverty and misery.
4. That II will affect from three to
! FIVE thousand commercial travellers,
who are now earning livlihood sell
| ing goods in the coal fields of West
Virginia.
| S. That tile proposed Increase will
interfere not only with the coal bust
ness itself, but the great commercial
enterprises of our state as we'll, there
/. by throwing many travelling men out
= of employment.
; 6. That we are not only interest
/: ed in, and pleading for, the travelling
men Of West Virginia, but those OF
other states who come to this terri
: tory to sell their goods.
! Be 1t further resolved, that copy
1 of these resolutions be forwarded tc
