AS | have been absent for a
while on account of sickness, i
will again try to give the news
OF our burg.
The health of this community
is not very good at TINS wrltlng.
Mrs. N. w. Hymes seems to be
some better at this writing, but
cannot walk a step yet, we hope
she will be able to walk in the
near future, for we know by ex-
perience what it is to be con-
fined in the house by being una
BILE to be out.
B. B. Matthew is still in our
burg and is considerably i'll at
this writing. We hope he will
be all right soon.
Ed. P. C. Harris and wife
were calling at N. w. Hymes'
awhile Friday night of last
week.
w. S. Lang was calling at N.
w. Hymes' last Sunday seeing
the sick. We are very glad to
have Mr.. Lang come around as
he is a good fellow to converse
with and good citizen and man
of high integrity.
B. F. Bennett went to Beling-
ton Friday of last week on bust
ness and returned New Years
Day.
Well 1915 has passed with all
of it's joys and sorrows never to
return again, and when we look
back our heart throbs in sor-
row on account of the many
people that have passed from
time into enternity, it causes us
to be looking and expecting our
turn might be next, and now we
have entered into 1916 and we
wonder if we will be permitted
to see another New Years Day.
DIR. Gambler, of Montrose was
called to r. w. Gamers on last
Sunday night on account of some
illness of which we haven't got

Mrs. A. J. Harris was calling

THE LOST CAUSE.

Some may object to the above
title for "Woman Suffrage" but
if they will think for moment
they will agree with me.
The "feminenist" console
themselves with the thought
that then was so many votes for
equal suffrage in the states of
New York, Massachusetts and
New Jersey last election, but
lost sight of the large vote a.
gainst it.
1t seems that where men have
given the matter serious thot,
it has gone down to ignominouys
defeat.
In 1912 in Ohio when it was
a mere side issue, it was defeat
ed by 87,455 majority, but when
it was an issue in 1914, it was
defeated by 182,905 majority.
Again look at Michigan-in 1912
when it was side issue it was
defeated by only 760 votes, but
in 1914 when men thought of
its uselessness it was defeated
by 96,144 majority.
Basing an opinion upon the
above it looks like, so far as
West Virginia is concerned it
can safely be "tabooed," 1.-THE
Lost Cause"
| agree with Mr.. Lilly that it
should not be made a partisan
question in so far a Republican
and a Democrat goes; but !
contend that it is politicalques-
ton of the first magnitude. 1t
deals with society, the very
foundation of our body polite.

to sail into the u. S. Senate un-

WOLF RUN.

Look out boys! Remember
this is Leap Year, and the girls
have the right to do the proposal
act. If any of you should hap
pen to take a moonlight ramble
with coy miss, and she hap
pens to sing you one of those
mushy love songs, if in any you
expose yourself to the sudden
dangers of the popping of the
question, the fault is your. "A
sure sign of impending proposal
is when young woman says ::
"dear, / wish to say something
notwithstanding import
ant-to you," Better hit your
feet when you hear anything like
that. Don't wait till you near
her say: Dearest, love for you,
urges me to take this step, it is
a bold one, but / will take it. |
confess, and now say without
shame or fear, that my heart is
yours, my fortunes yours. Win
YOU take them?" 1t will be too
late to run then.

CHILDREN PERISH.

New Martinsville, Jan. g.
Four children of John Morgan,
ranging in age from A to Is
years, were burned to death in
their home here today. Morgan
saved one daughter and while at
tempting to reach the others
was so badly burned physicians
feared he would not recover. The
cause of the fire, which was con-
fined to the second story of the
house, has not been determined.

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
SCOTS Emulsion, and need it now. 1t
possesses in concentrated form the very
TODD elements to enrich their blood. 1t
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.
