TO THE VOTERS OF
BARBOUR COUNTY

Due 10 the time. given the Liberty
Loan campaign and the critical con
ditions that prevail in many sec
tons, due to influenza, it will be i'm
possible for me to see any consider
able number of the voters. / take
this means then OF asking your sup
port on the 5th Of November.
ask this regardless Of what party
you are affiliated with. If elected
il will be my highest ambition to re-
present all the people and serve
them as best | can regardless of
their politics. Great questions will
arise out of this war and the days
Of reconstruction will be mOmentus
ones in the country's history. The
proper protection of the peoples in
terests during these trying days
will be of such vast importance
that one is justified in losing sight
of party lines, and voting for the
one that he believes can best rep
resent the interests of the whole
people. If you believe that !
measure up to this test, and can
give me your support, will be
deeply grateful and dedicate my
time and myself to the service Of
all the people.

A TRIBUTE TO BOB LOGAN.

There is nothing could say a.
bout Bob Logan's life since he is
dead that / could not have said a.
bout him living His small stature
was no index to the bigness OF his
heart. His boyish looks was not an
index to the character Of the man,
courteous in manner, honest IN ms
business dealings, thoughtful and
painstaking in his tender care Of his
aged parents his wife and child.
I / saw him going to and fro to his
daily labor light hearted, care free
and willing, with vim in every ster
and a smile of good humored greet
inc for all who met him by the way
/ saw him again when his body hao
grown weary "When he stopped t.
rest by the wayside using his bur
deon for a pillow he passed to that
dreamless sleep which kisses dowr
his eyelids STILL" His familiar fig
ure will be missed in the home BY
those who loved him there He vii
be missed from our busy streets
The hand that toiled is forever folt
ed to rest upon his bosom; friends
will look in vain for his comingi
and goings-only the shadows o
the past still fall in the West, Blu
when Autumn comes again to TURF
,"the green to gold" out there in tn
city Of the dead, in a peaceful moun'
will still be sleeping my friend.

Editor Belington Progressive;

The bold type headlines of your
last issue announcing the Flu
Scourge sweeps across the CONT
nent' is timely, and the advice OF
DIR. S. l.. Jepson, State health com
missioner should be observed by
every person. There is hardly a
hamlet, town or city that has not
been visited by the malady. And
it is carrying its victums away by
the hundreds. For some commune
ties it seems to be light. and In
others it runs into Pneumonia or
other kindred diseases. In this com
munity it passed through the fami-
lies Of Fred johnson and Bryan w.
Gainor affecting some of the mem
bers Of the former very severely
while others have so far escaped
and the latter the same way but IN
a milder form. The family of Frank
lin Bennett have nearly all had the
scourge, and his son in law Mr.
Irwin Moore who was moving to
Junior, was the first to take it and
he and his wife who are at Mr.. Ben
netts are both in q critical condi-
ton. The neighbors are rendering
all of the service they can without
going into the house.
AT Meadowville the families OF
G. M. Elliott and his brother Mar
cine are suffering from the disease
MANY of the schools of the vicinity
are closed, and others postponed
until it abates. Spain should not
hold a grudge against the Ameri-
cans for the unpleasantness we had
with her few years since, by send
ing such terrible affection upon us
| We were sorry to know that Mr.
Caste our rural mail carrier was in
disposed with the malady, but hs
was fortunate to obtain the services
Iof Mr.. ". B. Robinson to distribute
Il for him. 1t was great pleasure
Of the patrons of r. to see Mr.. Roi
inson on the route again as ne wat
the first to carry it when it was es
tablished some years since and th'
first to carry it over the road in
car. We hope he may have tn
honor Of being the first TO use al
airship if Uncle Sam should estab
Ilish such route. Mr.. Robinson II
his kind accommodating way ingra
,ciated himself in the hearts Of thu
patrons of Route 4.

know how far these exchanges have
progressed. No one else can say
when an announcement of the Pres
ident's attitude may be expected.
Although an English translation
was delivered with the note in Ger
man text, the State department
made its own translation before
sending the document to the White
house.
Nothing was made public pending
q careful comparison with the wire
less version, though it was said the
Expected verbal differences did not
appear TO alter substantially the
meaning Of the note.

1.-THE army, were called to the White
house shortly after noon, just as
State department messenger arrived
Ito deliver the note to the President.

A PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

Within the War Zone Of Europe
there are three million stricken
Jews The Jews have suffered for
centuries but these three million
have undergone torture for four
years-during the war. They are
crying to America for aid. The
Jewish people in the United States
have given for the aid Of their
people in the war zone almost to the
limit They have likewise given to
all other war charities They should
not be left alone in their struggle to
save and protect the three million
members of their family in the War
Zone. All our people should aid.
A thrill has gone throughout Christ
endom that Jerusalem and the Holy
Land have been redeemed by an
English army. Let US now help
save the helpless Jews in all the
War Zones.
October goth. Both and 31st have
been set as Jewish Relief Days in
west Virginia and | respectfully
urge upon the people Of the State
that they contribute to this most
worthy cause and aid the people in
this country who are trying to save
their kinsmen abroad people who
are among our most loyal and use
full citizens, our Jewish Citizens.
Given under my hand at the Cap
ital of the State this the ninth day
of October in the year of our LORD
