CITIZENS BANK CHANGES

A. C. Bolton who has served
as assistant cashier of the Cit
liens National Bank for the past
nine years, has accepted the
management of the Peters
Mountain Lumber Co. at White
Sulphur Springs. This is a
mammoth concern owning and
operating 5000 acres of fine tim
Der land just across the state
line. Mr.. Bottoms business ca
reer with the Citizens Bank fits
him eminently for the response
bilities of the new position and
if genuine hustler can bring
success to this new enterprise,
Mr.. Bolton is the man for the
place. His record for straight
forward and courteous dealings
while in this city, is genuine
recommendation of fitness and
ability to his new employees.
Mr.. Berne Teter, late of the
force of the Farmers Bank, of
Clarksburg, will fill the vacancy
in the Citizens Bank and while
the institution loses good man
they also get an excellent one
in his stead.

WEDDING BELLS

John. Ice has been living a
lonely life of bachelordom for
many years and real estate has
been his special line. He has
bought and sold and sold again,
but Thursday night he decided
that real estate wasn't all of the
game, that he needed some per-
sonal property too. Sam Jones
had been like a father to John,
! but John didn't want him quite
so intimate and thought the role
of father-in-law would be better
for Sam, so he took for his wife
Sans daughter, Miss Minnie
Jones. Bride and groom are all
smiles but Pa. Jones wears a
frown which is fast disappear
ing. Best wishes to these
young folks

NEED CHANGE OF SYSTEM

There are about $500 miles
of Glass A roads in the State
connecting the county seats and
important towns, and about 900
miles are now hard surfaced.
No two county seats of the
State are connected by hard sur
faced roads. The present sys-
tenn of county control will not
complete these roads. The only
way to get them completed is to
place them under State control.

WHOLESALE HOUSE
IN HANDS RECEIVER
Columbus Branch Goes on the Rocks
Liabilities May be Double
Assets


PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. TO-
The landslide has started. The
Columbus Wholesale Grocery
Company, the big Creasey house
at Columbus, Ohio, blew upwith
bang September 18th, and
went into the hands of a receiv-
err.
John Barkley & Company,
sugar dealers of New Orleans.
attached the Columbus house
and applied for a receiver when
the concern refused to take de-
livery of 100000 pounds Of sug-
ar purchased from Barley &
Company up around Soc. Bark
ley & Company ask judgment in
the sum of $1,000. Hyatt S.
Bones was appointed receiver
He is reported as saying the
business will be wound up. The
Receiver further says that the
liabilities will double the assets
Receiver Bones estimates the
stock on hand at $4,000 and
says there are many other cred
itors. In addition to the $780,
900 pounds of sugar shipped by
Barley & Company, the house
is said to have contracted for a
shipload of Java sugar to be de-
livpred unon arrival of boat at
New Orleans.
This gives a very good idea
of the business acumen of the
Creaseyites. They plunged on
sugar when the market was at
the peak of prices. Then to be
consistently Creaseyites they at
tempted to Reputation of their
iron clad contracts.
That is a fair sample of Creas-
eyism. They are willing to take
advances, but refuse to take de-
clines.
Another startling fact is
brought to light in this Cooper
ative failure.
The Columbus Wholesale Gro
Gerry Company was among the
million dollar houses" of Crea-
sey. 1t is reputed to have done
a ST, 052, 900 business last year.
1t is said to have 300 members
who paid in $500 each, a total
of $4,000.
Now we learn from the Re-
ceiver that it has only $4,000
in stock. What has become of
the balance of the capital p

EXCITEMENT AT COUNTY SEAT

Minor details of a series of
shooting affrays have reached
here from the usually quiet, or
DERBY and law-abiding county
seat, Friday night seems to
have witnessed series of wild
orgies at the county seat. A
young man is reported to have
been knocked down by a woman,
bricks were thrown, some shoot
ing was done and last but not
least, "the stone militia" are
reported to have bombarded the
mayors palace with a great
deal of fury. General informa-
ton seems to be hard to get but
there was actually some trouble
in that meek of the woods"

GAS MAY BE USED
FOR HEATING
Public Service Commission Gave Ne
Notice to Discontinue Use of Gas
for Heating
RIO THE DOMESTIC consul
iMERS OF WEST VIRGINIA
] CENTRAL GAS COMPANY:

II Numerous complaints and in
eouiries have been received by
sthis Commission regarding a
hnotice given by the West Vir-
Il GINA Central Gas Company to
\ its consumers under date of
September 80, 1920. to the effect
that it will be impossible to
Asupply all domestic require
1nents during the coming win
ter, and that no gas will be
available for house heating pur-
poses, in furnaces or stoves
that its use must be restricted to
cooking, lighting, water and in
cidental heating, and that every
householder must obtain and be
prepared to use some other fuel
in place of gas for house heating
after November first, 1920. ;. !.
The impression seems to wide
" prevail that this notice is Civ
en- Under authority of an order
of this Commission. Such is
not the fact. BY an order made
March 81, 1920, the Commission
directed the West Virginia Cen
trial Gas Company to discontinue
after November l, 1920, gas SER
vice to all industrial consumers,
including operators of gas en-
gines, but such order does not
h REQUIRE nor contemplate any
further restriction upon the use
of gas.
With the additional gas that
will be obtained from its Brax-
ton county field, the company's
supply of gas for the coming
winter should equal it's supply
during the past winter, and
should be sufficient to adequa-
tely serve it's domestic consul
s mers, except in extremely colo
weather.
Each consumer should pro
vide himself with at least one
coal fire to meet breakdown in
the service due to unusually cold
weather, but the company viii
be required to use every reason
able means and all of it's avail
able supply of gas to take care
of it's domestic consumers.
We recommend the most rigio
economy in the use of gas by
those living near the source OF
supply in order that others more
distant from the field may re
ceive their fair proportion In
times of shortage.

NEW YORK, Oct. g. Speak
ing at a military reunion dinner
here last night, Brig. Gen. H. M.
Lord, chief of finances of the

partment in Washington has
1000 Liberty bonds. represen-

The bonds have been held for
two years and carry coupons
representing $4,000 in interest;
The department, he said, had
been unable to reach the own

There was some sort of a
rally at Concord in Valley last
Sunday. 1t is understood that
Chame Wilson'S Nestorville
choir furnished the singing for
the occasion. Philander Simp-
son went out to take few les
sons in sharps and flats as well
as to help take care of the
"eats." Well, Chances singing
can't be beat but our impression
is that it takes something
stronger than music to induce
the flower of Republicanism of
Valley, to vote under the Roost-
er when there is an eagle in
sight.
