And it came to pass in the year 1915

A sublime thought should always
be in order. The following view OF
washington by Lincoln certainly be-
longs to that class: ITO add bright

That profound and poetica1-natures
yet exist is clearly demonstrated by
the following;

And every where the fashion went,

time for a little determination: The.
great soul is always ready to acknow-
ledge greatness, and does not lose
anything in giving credit where 1t is
due. To lack appreciation of the beautt-

Of what makes life worth while. 1t is
only the shallow nature that can't see
greatness and the grudging nature
that won't acknowledge it. It isionly

The old Crawford Mutual Benefit

has gone out of existence. 1t has paid

bership dwindled until but IS were left
and the financial demands were too
heavy for these fellows to bear. After

fits to Marvin Bremen, the associa-
ton closed up business with but four

will be surrendered.
Something rather unusual in crime
is recorded as follows in the columns
OF the Philippi Republican: Monday

Judge Burner by sleuth "Cowtail"
Reed. They waived examination and
were held under 81, 1000 bond each to
the grand jury, and In default are
in jail. From reports these boys have
been trying to get where they are for
some time. About this time last year
warrants were out for them for steal,
ing brass from q saw mill and high
constable Simon arrested one of them
and he done time in jail. We are in
formed that q warrant Is in the hands
OF fat constable Boyles for one OF
them In connection with the robbery
