ton to attend the great meeting of the
League to Enforce peace. Mr. Finley
made an address al Shepherd College Fri
day morning, in which he told OF the OBJ
jects OF this league and ofitS hope 10 bring

Mr.. finly's friends here were pleased to
know that he is candidate for the NOM

culture on the Democratic ticket, and
they will have chance TO vote for him

is one of the brainiest men in West Viz
ginia, and if he should be called upon TO
fill the duties OF this important office we
are sure that he would make il one OF the
most interesting departments of our State
government. The voters OF This section
my take our word for il that he is entire
ly worthy of their support.

few days this week, but left again for
New Orleans, where he will, in company

building bridge across the Mississippi
river at New Orleans. Thisis one OF the

ever conceived in this country, as the
great river is very wide and very deep at
that point, and if it is carried through it
would be at the cost OF many millions OF
dollars.
