WHAT THEY THINK OF MR..
WOODS.

The nominee Of the party is one
OF the most able Democrats OF
the district. He has frequently
been in the limelight Of political
preferment in the Second dis
trict, and served with distinc-
tion as a member of the State
senate, and as the president Of
thai body during one Of it's most
memorable sessions. He is a
lawyer, recognized by all mem
bers of the profession as among
the best practicing in the courts
Of the state and is qualified in
every way to serve his district
and his country in the lower
house Of Congress. He is a son
son Of the late Samuel Woods,
once judge of the Supreme Court
of the state, and a leader Of his
party in the early days Of this
commonwealth. -Kingwood Ar
gus.
The democrats Of the Second
West Virginia district, in their
convention yesterday, did well
when they nominated Samuel ".
Woods, of Barbour county, to fill
the unexpired term Of the late
William G. Brown, Jr.
The Second district is fall OF
splendid democrats, and one Of
the most notable among them is
Mr.. Woods.
As citizen, as q lawyer and
as a business man, he ranks
high. For four years, he was a
member of the state senate, for
two years president Of tfat
body, and his character, ability
and worth received universal
recognition.
MIR. Woods would be a fitting
successor to William l.. Wilson,
Junior" Brown and the other
great democrats who have repre-
sented the Second district in
the house Of representatives.

COL. E. HUTTON DIES.

One of Randolph county's
best known men, was Col. Elihu
Hutton, who died last week very
suddenly, aged 70 years. He
was well known in this county
having married Frona, oldest
daughter of the late ]. Harvey
Woodford, of Pleasant Creek.
She with two daughters and
three sons, survive Col. Hutton.
We chip the following from
the Elkins Inter- Mountain, re-
lative to his life:
"The deceased came from a
fine old southern family. He
was born December 81, 1897 on
the farm where he lived his en-
tire life, and where his father
and grandfather spent the
greater part of their lives. He
was a son of the late Colonel
Moses Hutton, and his grand
father was Jonathan Hutton.
The latter was born in the South
Branch Valley of the Potomac
river, near Moorefield, w. Va,
and in about the year 1870 set
tied with his family in Randolph
county. He became large land
owner of that part Of the coun-
try. The Hutton family is of
| Welsh origin and first settled in
Philadelphia in the colonial
days, thence to Moorefeld and
! Huttonsville where the descen-
1 dants have since lived and pros
pered. The town of Huttons-
vile derived its name from
jonathan Hutton, who was one
of the first settlers in that sec
ton of the state.
Colonel Hutton had quite a
military career, in addition to
his prosperous life as a farmer
! and business man. When the
/ Civil war broke out, Elihu Hut
ton, then a young man, became
q one of General Robert e. Lees
scouts. Later he was instru-
mental in forming company
fof soldiers, known as Comany
s., goth Virginia Cavalry. With
this comany he ranked as cap
tain, major and then the role Of
Northumberland. He was
with General w. l.. Jackson's
brigade, doing service up and
down the Valley Of Virginia
during the war times, and he
had many thrilling experiences,
which be often related with
much interest to his friends.
Colonel Hutton served as a
member of the West Virginia
legislature from 1877-1879."
