The delays and intricat:ons of law
are SO disgusting that every once in
awhile some progressive fellow tries
to substitute a method of arbitration.
The first movement of that nature in
what is now West Virginia happened
in Randolph county on April z, 100,
when Andrew Crouch traded proper
ties with Jacob Warwick acquiring a
holding at Huttonsville which was
claimed by John and William White.
There had been long argument about
the ownership OF the land and the
White brothers wanted to settle it by
a resort to fight. fist and skull. War
wick feared the result and traded land
with Crouch, daredevil OF those days
Crouch met and vanquished William
White who accepted the result with
satisfaction and the two latter became
warm friends. John White was killed
in tho battle of Point Pleasant and
William White fell victim Of Indians
in what is now Upshur county.

LOCATION OF DEAD
TOLD Of At DIXIE

An attentive congregation listened
last night to very interesting dis
course by Evangelist westcott, at the
Dixie theatre, on the question Where
are the Dead?"
He said in part, THE condition Of
the dead is one OF the mysteries that
has troubled the human family
throughout all its history. Human
speculation has produced many and
varied theories concerning the dead
until today there are multitudes in the
world who are afraid to even kill an
insect lest they harm the spirits OF
their ancestors. We hear of our liv.
ing dead and in the christian world
we have theories that lead from the
grave to heaven in one direction and
TO hell in the other direction with pur.
Gatory as the crossroads"
Mr.. Westcott then turned his hear
crs away from human speculation to
the word of god. Many Scriptures
were read in proof of the fact that the
dead know not any thing. Eccl. 9:5.6.
Many OF u.s." said Mr.. Westcott,

lover ones leave this life they pass

FAIRMoNT HAS RIGHT loEA.

From the Wheeling Majority.
Fdirmont has the right idea, which
Wheeling might we'll emulate. The
Chamber Of Commerce of that city has
decided to meet the housing prob
lens by building houses. Names are
being secured Of all residents who
want houses or who desire to buy
houses With the idea of ascertaining
all who need houses so that they NAV
be supplied. At mass mecinG of
business mea it was shown that 40
houses would be built at once.
The business men decided to build
the houses needed. Architects will
furnish plans for houses and contrac-
tors will be requested to furnish bids
on plans desired by each person. OWL
ers OF lots will give the best term pos
sible TO prospective buyers of new
