LAND MARK GONE

Thursday night the Levi Hollen
homestead located about two miles
below town was destroyed by fire, OF
mysterious origin as this house was
unoccupied This old homestead was
the home Of the late Levi Hollen who
operated grist mill for the grind
ing Of grain Of all kinds for many
years The mill fell into decay and
lost it's patronage with the advent of
the roller mills which followed in
the wake Of the whistle Of the steam
engine. The old mill still stands but
the home Of the former owner is in
ashes yet memories will come back
to many mill-boy of rs years ago
who took the grist to mill over hills,
through valleys, down the rivers
edge, the long wait and the return
journey.

Baltimore, Md. March 20, 1919
My dear Mr.. Mayor;
Il am in receipt of your favor of
the 10th. | regret could not see
my way clear to establish the
( Charleston service, and believe if
could talk with you personally, which
will do at the earliest opportunity,
l could convince you this is not an
opportune time TO establish special
service over that route with heavy
steel trains of Pullman cars, and
while we are maintaining the road
way sufficient for the present service,
the physical conditions would have
to be improved in some directions to
handle the heavier trains, which is q
perfectly natural thing and is no
more than what we must do when
heavier service is added On any ter
ritory than that for which the line
is constructed.
/ However | am anxious to do all
that is reasonable to improve The SER
vice in the West Virginia territory,
and to meet the wishes Of our
friends III the Tygarts Valley dis
1 trict as far as it is consistent, and
take pleasure in advising you that
we will extend the Pullman sleeping
car service between Fairmont and
Elkins on the trains suggested, as
well as establish the buffet-parlor
car service between Elkins and
4 Wheeling, and in order that the COM
munity may have the immediate bene-
1 fit, it will be made effective Monday
March "a. believe you will agree
with me that this will materially
improve the situation in that terri
tory, and | sincerely trust the pat
ronage will Justify continuance Of
/ the service.
with all good wishes, ! am,
Cordially yours,

GHOULS VIOLATE TOMB

News has Just leaked out that the
tomb of Gen. Isaac Booth has been
looted by grave robbers, from all
appearance the crime seems to have
been committed during the early days
of March, the discovery being made
by John Booth, grandson of the
Gen., on the 10TH
Gen. Booth was a veteran of the
war of 1912 and was inferred March
sixty-six years ago, on the Reservoir
Hill within the corporate limits of
this city, he was buried with full mil
itary honors and the fact that the
uniform in which he was buried bore
gold epaulets and buttons, with a
magnificent gold-hilted sword by
his side was the lure that drew these
dogs of crime to violate the dust of
this old veteran. What a shame that
his sword could not slay these Grim
nails during their Hunnish act
There is no clue or trail Of the
criminals.

like that Of war days" The coal
industry is going to be good-mueh
better than at any peace time before,
but to expect a rush and roar like
that thru which we have just passed
is beyond reason. Normal conditions
must be- reached and these are going
to be reached sooner or later while
all Of us must bear our share Of the
burden Of the reorganization, and

our riotous living, and are now re-
turning home-to our senses, and the
old MAI" good times--is comiag
out to meet us and will receive AS
back again with fatherly care and
protection.
The War Fever has leftus and we
are taking nourishment to bring
back the better life, then as soon
as we can stand alone we will take

purity and be purged from taking
any more such diseases, so destruc-
