LOREN BERRY WAS
KILLED BY ENGINE
AT NOLAN, W. VA.

Loren Berry. formerly of Louisa. was
instantly killed at Nolan, w. Va, last
Saturday morning by an N. & w. To-
comotive. The body was taken to the
home OF his mother. near Fort Gay,
and the burial took place Monday. Rev.

place, was his uncle. He was about
20 years old. Just few days before
his death he had moved to Nolan,
where he held good position, and was
making his home temporarily with his
brother Hubert.
The accident occurred in the usual
y-.by standing on railroad track,
with his attention concentrated on a
moving train on parallel track, A
shifting engine struck him and caused
instant death.

A. c. Shannon and Family
Returning to Louisa

One of Louisa's native sons prob
ably will return to us very soon, after
an absence OF ten years, and he and his
family viii be welcomed home We
refer TO 4. G. shannon, formerly known
here as a. C. Pigg. In the outset we
shall explain that by decree of court
at Houston, Texas. his name was
changed for the reason that the origi-
nal was very ulusual in that section
OF country, and caused the children TO
be taunted and embarrassed by their
associates In school and elsewhere. So
the maiden name of his mother was
chosen, and Shannon is now the legal
name and must OF necessity be used.
Mr.. Shannon is fine mechanic, a
competent architect and an expert on
building and construction. The devel-
opment now on In this vicinity. and
the natural longing TO get back home,
has caused him to consider returning
here 10 locate. Houston was Mr.. Shan
mons home for several years, but lately
he lhas lived in Pittsburg. Mrs. shan
non is daughter of Mrs. Alice Rule
OF Paintsville. These people will be
valuable additions to our growing
community. They are expected here
within few days to visit Mr. Shan
mons mother, Mrs. Rebecca Lewis, and
brother George Lewis. They expect
to settle in Louisa. but will decide
definitely after visit.

PREDICTION THAT
CENSUS WILL SHOW
LOUISA OVER 1000
Fort Gay, Our Sister City,
Believed to Have Over
600 Inhabitants.

We feel safe in stating that the 1920
census win show Louisa's population
to be above 2oO0 The boosters have
been claiming this for some time and
we believe their claim will be fully
verified. They will now move up a
peg in their claim. true TO the boosters
rule.
The exact report OF the new census
being taken BY the United States gov
ernment win be watched with interest.
II our estimate Is correct the report
viii show more than so per cent in
crease over the last census, which IL
not bad showing. And the best part
OF II is, the growth Is Just starting in
earnest
II Louisa officially has passed the
1000 mark we have met the first req
ulsite in getting free mail delivery
service witiiin--the city limits, Our
board OF Trade win no doubt take
notice OF this fact at the proper time
and help 10 push the matter along
Our sister city OF Fort Gay con-
nected by a bridge Will show over 500
population. which IL u substantial in
crease and very credltable showing.
