NEGRO SELLS LICKER
 THAT ANT AND LANDS
 IN THE COUNTY JAIL

SSelling "hot air" liquor and 'limfam- ming are the causes for the downfall of Jimmy Walker negro, and the reason why he is lodged in the county jail awaiting trial.
 According to the warden at the county jail. the negro is said to have been sell ing corn iquor what ain't." Walker is alleged to have been operating a regu- lar get-r!ch-quick game. He told the stranger in the city who had thirst that he knew where they could get real corn liquor cheap. Then. the officers say. he would take the strangers money. lead him to a house down some dark alley, tell him to wait while he went around the house to set the liquor. He would return in a-few seconds with a bottle of seem- ngly the real stuff.
 But after the self-appointed good Samaritan had departed, the stranger would find that he had only a bottle of eohalia.

BERNARD B. HOOD
DIES SUDDENLY.

Bernard Ballah Hood, aged 16,
eldest son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Hood, prominent residents Of
Rivesville, died suddenly last even
ing at about seven o'clock at his
home. The young man had been
III with diphtheria, but was
thought to be on the road to re.
covery. Last evening he decided
he would sit UP for while, and
had no sooner arisen from his bed
than he fell over and expired with
in few cesonds. A weakness OF
the heart brought on by teh dis
ease caused his death.
The deceased was an exception
ally bright and promising young
man. He attended the Rivesville
High school for one year and last
year was student at the Tome
school near Baltimore.
After completing this school he
was to have entered Yale. The
young man passed his sixteenth
birthday last Thursday. He was a
great favorlte not only in the home
circle but in the community, where
he resided and his death has cast a
pail Of gloom over that town. Last
spring Mr.. Hood spent three
months with his aunt, Mrs. Thorn
as r. Pierce, In Oregon.
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 1880
O'Clock and the interment will be

.ROTBRIANS GOING
TO MORGANT0WN

It was announced at today's
meeting OF the Rotary club that
there probably would be no meet
ing next week because 1t is desired
that every member Of the Fair
mont clu baccept the invitation Of
the Morgantown club to attend the
picnic OF be held next Thursday at
Oak Park.
The Morgantowh club is making
elaborate preparations for this pic
mic and the invitation to the Fair
mont Rotarians is especially press
ing because it is the desire of the
college town Rotarians to dis
charge some social obligations
which they feel they owe the Fair
mont club. The picnic, however,
will include Rotarians and their
families from Clarksburg, Weston
and other towns Ia the vicinity.
The Fairmont members will
leave here on the 10 o'clock B. &
o. train next Thursday morning,
probably in a special car. After
they get to Morgantown they will
be guests Of the Morgantown club
at a lunch in the Masonic Temple.
Afterward the will boar da spe-
cial train and go to the park which
is some distance from Morgan
town. It is the purpose Of the COM
mittee In charge Of the Fairmont
arrangements to take along Miss
Nell Dougan and the famous little
organ to supply music for singing
on the way to the park. There will
be many women and children in
the party.
Lamar saterfeld sang with
much feeling a Scotch ballad at to-
days meeting and responded to an
encore and c. a. Spicer, who is
promoting a company to erect a
modern picture theater in Fair
mont, made a brief talk in which
he told of the progress that has
been made.
