bear, and he has had to bear many OF
them, has been brought about by his
intense earnestness in that direction.
You can reply upon every promise he
makes"
"But aside from that as result of
the stoppage OF work in the mines, we
are facing the most difficult industrial
situation that ever confronted the
country. It threatens the very star
yattonof our social life. In this emer-
gency the Presidelt has pointed way
out with honor tothe government and
honor to yourselves. II my judgment
ana eperfehce are :df any value to you,
let me use them IN advising you for
the welfare Of yourselves and the
country as a whole to accept the way
out that is proposed by the Pres1-
dent"

The greatst event in the history OIL
Odd Fellowship in West Virginia takes

of the sovereign grand lodge OF the
entire world, will visit Fairmont and
Huntington.
It Is the first time in history that
a sovereign grand sire has ever visit
ed West Virginia officially during his
term Of office. The honor which Fair
mont shares with Huntington is due
in large measure to the importance
of Marion county In Odd Fellow cir
cles. There are four past grand mas
ters Of the West Virginia grand lodge
now living in Marion county and a
fifth Is recognized as Marion COUNTY,
man although serving as pastor Of a
Clarksburg church temporarily. Hon.
Thomas w. Fleming, Hon. o. S. Nc
Kinney, Judge George A. Vincent, OF
Fairmont; Hon. John A. Book, OF
Pennington, and Rev. w. |. Canter, at
present of Clarksburg.
The various lodges of Marion Coun-
ty are determined to make this event a
big success. The two Fairmont lodges
have arranged for the Greater Fair
mont band to head a procession from
the heart Of the city to the First Meth
odist church where Mr.. Borst will
speak at 1880 sharp next Monday night
at a public meeting. The Rivesville
lodge will bring band and it is like
ly that lodges from other parts of
Northern West Virginia will be ac-
companied by musical organizations.
The general committee consists of
L. G. Fitzhugh. representing Marion
Lodge No. IL; j. R. Durham, repre-
senting Palatine Lodge No. 81 and
Mrs. Lucy Bright, Mrs. Don Lilly and
Miss Ivette Merrineld, representing
Rebekah Lodge No, GA. The publicity
committee consists OF Hon. N, M.
Nicely Hon. o. S, Mckinney, 9, H.
Riggle and M. G. Lough.
The program, which is being ar
ranged, will include an Introductory
address by Rev. G. N. Coffman, Of
Fairview, deputy grand master, invo-
cation by Rev. w. !, Canter, past grand
both holding these positions
in the state grand lodge, and a vocal
solo by Rev. Claude E. Goodwin, pas

The ]. M. Black class Of the First
Presbyterian church met last evening
at six o'clock for delightful supper
and social hour including most in
teresting talk by Miss Rachel Tono-
ven from the Normal, who talked on
physical culture. Besides the class
which was we'll represented there were
several guests at the long table, spread.
with white cloth and laid with deli

brought portion Of the meal which
was called in its entirety a box sup

sandwiches, crackers, cheese, pre-
serves, cake and coffee and fruit made
up the menu very much enjoyed by
everyone,
When the guests first arrived they
spent delightful half hour in the
church parlor and at supper, before
eating, q short business session fol-
lowed with important details OF the
work done by the class in the past and
future outlined. 1t was decided to
continue in the support of a certain
boy in foreign lands whom Mr.. Black

last evening to donate $2O-$S5 belnh
the sum necessary to educate him for

Miss Rachel Tonoyen gave a moat
helpful talk following this on how
women should dress and exercise to
best promote health. She suggested
that the broad toed, low heeled shoe
would solve all foot troubles and she
showed pictures Of the foot as 1t should
be shaped when bad ones had not de-
formed It. Pointed toes, according to
fashion today, were as bad as the

Those Who wished to dress sensibly
had difficulty in finding both nicE

paid in the long run,
