candle-sticks and in the center, love- ly bright landscape painting. In the middle of the room we have a long Queen Anne reading table of brown mahogany with an overtuft sofa di- rectly against it so that when we use the. sofa we face the fireplace. An ad- unstable iron reading lamp stands at one end of the sofa With our favor ite books and our photograph in the corner what more can we ask for an evenings rest and entertainment
 Wert's arm chair is also Queen Anne with cane panels and seat and really think he is beginning to like it better than any old mission chair he might have had a year or so ago. In fact since we have been adding new piece of furniture from time to time l have noticed a growing interest in the ulti- mate comfort and effect I am trying to produce in our home and I see him

through the curtains, sparkles on our brilliant canary cage and reflects in the mirror to the farthest corner. And what is more pleasing to me is that Vert always seems so surprised and believe he is really beginning to ap- preciate good simple furnishings.
 1 have often seen dining rooms in the Italian Renaissance design in ma hogany brown. Very beautiful ar engagements have been accomplished though I do not care so much for the more ornate carvings of tFe Renais- sance. Furniture is made to last and we have to live with it long time. I think that the simple designs are more enduring, for we do not tire of seeing them day in and day out.
 Our living room is our special joy. We have a long low fireplace with built-in book shelves on either side. There is a mantle above the fireplace upon which we have two tall brass

occasionally reading my house-beauti- flying magazines.
 In choosing bedroom furniture I have found most homes prefer the Louis XVI, the Hepplewhite, or the Sheraton designs. We have the Hep plewhite design for our twin beds in walnut and between them we have a little low table with a shaded lamp. I have just installed for the benefit of Vert high-boy with long, deep draw CTS and next to the window we have our long mirror. On my side of the room l have a walnut dresser and a little dressing table with folding mir TOTS near the window. It is such an advantage to have the mirrors in po- sition affording plenty of light upon the face. I have low rocker besides the small straight chair for the dress ing table. Chairs in bed room are such handy things. Vert is rather old maidish about his clothes and every

If begin to rave too much in this article on furniture please be easy with me for I will frankly tell you that 1 am brand new bride, experi- encing all the thrills of furnishing our own little home.
 Well, am not going to tell you very much about my kitchen, except that l have little short closet for the vacuum cleaner, the brooms and mops and I have my ice box, kitchen cab inet, stove and work table very near each other. It is so arranged that l can almost Teach from one to the other. When supper is served all pip ing hot I am not hot and cross as l have seen my mother. Vert and l have a really lovely time at meals.
 Since we married in spite of high rents and scarce houses we must ac- cept rather small quarters; so our din- ing room has the minimum number of pieces. Period designs always ap-

pealed to me, especially those having simple characteristics. That is why 1 chose Tudor for our dining room set. Our dining table is oblong of dark walnut with nice rounded corners and paneled legs. The chairs are in the same wood and little wide and low. Husband Wert's chair is high armed and most comfortable. My particular delight is tall silver chest which has wood doors instead of old-fashioned glass. I keep in this, all my immedi- ate table linen and few of our spe- cial dishes besides the two lower draw CTS for silver. Our serving table is semi-circular and above it hangs large mirror.
 We have thick single color blue rug, and low bench which stretches across the entire length of the win dows. There is nothing prettier to me than our dining room in the early spring morning when the sun glances

 Vert asked me the other day, Where did you get all your home ideas anyhow? You are always think ing of something new!"
 As 1 said before, 1 have thought and thought lot about my home. 1 sub scribed to every magazine published on the subject and I recommended to Vert the same method if he wished. I am so glad he is showing more and more interest, for it is such help to me in realizing my dreams for better home and home furnishings.

thus consuming from two to
three days in transit when it

should be lost in getting this and
other roads in shape then giving
our representatives in Congress
no rest, day or night, until we
get adequate mail facilities from
the county seat to all sections of
the county. The pioneer days,
with the hardships, inconven.

DOING SOME ROAD WORN

The road work on the north
side of the Beaver river bridge,
which was to have been worked
NO weeks ago but which work
was inadvertently delayed, was
put over the latter part of last
week. Johnnie M. Jones fur.
nished his road outfit gratis,
other labor was contributed and
business men who could not get
away to assist with the work,
made cash donations. This
stretch of road has been in bad
condition for some time, being
too low and rains and overflow
always put it in almost impass-
able shape. With the work just
completed the center Of the road
has been graded up and drain

that is required now is proper
dragging and it will be in excel.
lent condition.
This piece of work was pro
NOTED by the Beaver chamber of
commerce under the leadership
of the secretary V. II. Coles and
heartily backed by the entire or.
ganization. 1t is just one instance
showing what good can be ac-
complished by a live commercial
organization. Beavers chamber
of commerce has many other
civic improvements in mind and
under way, Here's hoping that
all may be carried out to a sue

THE DEPARTED

In MExoRrAx-Mabel Pearl Bentley,
died May 81. 1921.
Fain would we follow thee, dear one,
Along the shining way
Which opens out from Deaths dark
gate
Into celestial day,
To catch thy first awakening
From this abode OF pain
In sunlight that shall never pale,
In health and strength again.
Close not, o gates Of pearl, close not I;
Through which the glory gleamsl
We would be witness Of her Joy
Would know how heaven seems;
Would watch her as with angel-guide
She treads the golden street
AMI casts her crown of victory
Low at her Saviour's feet.
We would behold the face and form,
So late.with US q guest,
Transfigured in the mystic light,
In lustrous garments drest;
Oh, could We catch one glorious view,
Our binding tears were stayed.
And peace would span the deep abyss
Her going out has made.
Not weep, dear one? Forbid us not;
Thy Jesus weeps with US;
IT'S not for thee, but for ourselves,
Our tears are falling thus.
The pain Of parting is so core
We're forced to weep awhile;
But when His hand has healed the
wound
We will look up and smile.
And by and bY-roll swift. o years
That here OUT souls detain =
Those heavenlylgates shall burst apart
And we shall enter In
To clasp thy form again, dear one,
To know thee better there,
And all the bliss of heaven with thee
Forever more to share.

WHAT ABOUT FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION

The Fourth of July is coming
along and before we know it will
be right here. What is Beaver
going to do toward celebrating
the %occasionY With the present
condition Of the wheat, il looks
like harvest would be well out of
way by that time and, if so, we
see no reason why Beaver should
not properly celebrate the day.
Some fitting observance of indie
pendence Day should certainly
be arranged and, at this time,
when we have every reason to be
more thankful than ever for our
independence, it seems that we
should go strong in observing the
day, We boast of our American
ism and our patriotism but our
outward demonstration of such
grows more conspicuous by it's
absence from year to year. Who
cannot recall the good old days"
when everybody was teeming
with patriotic fire? When on the
Fourth of July the old eagle was
made to scream and the day was
celebrated with bon.fires and H.
Nominations? OF late years we
have preached the safe and sane''
celebration until we have just
about plucked the last feather
from the old bird of freedom and
are substituting in it's stead a
bird dead in the shell. Bring
back the joys of our youth-the
fire crackers, the niggar chasers,
the red balloons, the bonfires at
night, the pink lemonade, the
anvil salute at the break of day,
the sky rockets and the Roman
candles. Those were the days
of real sport and the kids came
through it all, for the most part,
with whole limbs, both eyes and
with an enthusiasm and regard
for independence Day that is
sadly lacking in these times by
young and old. You can't stir
the fire of patriotism or any
other fire with a wet match.
Pep things up. Put a little vim
and enthusiasm into it. Pull off
a real, honest-to-goodness, old
fashioned Fourth of July 1elebra-
ton and give the. folk an oppor.
tunity to once more really enjoy
the day.

GOODBYE COURT HOUSE

to move the county seat from
Beaver on account of the recent
litigation in the oil well shooting
matter, by which citizens Of Bea-
yer, Forgan and Perryton, Texas,
being stockholders in the oil well
and opposed to further grand
standing on the part Of the sal.
aried managers of the concern,
brought legal action throwing
the well outfit into the hands of
a receiver thus securing the
shooting of the well and putting
an end to the wanton waste of
further money on the concern.
An accounting disclosed the fact
that around $50, 0o0.O 90 had been
spent on the Gate oil well pro
iect and this money was pretty
literally subscribed by Beaver
and other towns of the surround
ing territory as well as by the
farmers and stockmen. These

ness" on May 25th, the date ad-
vertisod far and near for the
shooting of the well and on which
thousands of people assembled
to see the demonstration, and
their patience ceased to be a vir-
tue when Hopkins announced
that the we'll would not be shot
until a deficit of some $4000.O 90
had been raised. Money had pre-
viously been contributed here
and elsewhere for the shooting
of the well and it was guaranteed
that the we'll would be shot May
18th. Funds to pay the expense
were deposited in the Gate bank
however, when an attempt was
made TO secure additional money
after the crowd gathered, no OBJ.
lection was made and everybody
waited patiently, being assured
the well would be shot that day.
Their wrath vas justified when,
at about sever or eight o'clock in
the evening, it was announced
that the well would not be shot
until tLr o'clock next day. Then
the niger in the wood pile"
was plain to be seen and the
aforesaid stockholders got busy,
taking legal steps TO force the
shooting of the well without fur.
Their delay and it was shot, re
sulting in a buster.
The people in general of Gate
and vicinity are Just as sore and
Disguised over the procedure as
are those elsewhere and they
were glad that outside stock
holders took the matter in hand
and forced a climax TO a matter
that has been a long drain upon
their pocketbooks with little
chance for reward. They and
all Beaver county and the ad-
lacent territory are anxious to
test this district but they do not
want the matter to res olive itself
into a perpetual pension, of no
mean sum, for the management.
That is what makes the wildcat
wild sure enough. And now,

STOLEN AUTO RECOVERED

Through Mayor e. B. January an
automobile, bearing the license tag
No. 12883626, abandoned on Link av-
enue, in this city, by the parties who
had stolen it in Mt. Sterling, was re-
covered and restored to it's owner, W..
X. Williams, of Mt Sterling.
The automobile was found parked
on the side of the road on W1inches-
ter street, near Link avenue, at an
early hour Wednesday morning, by
passers-by, who called Mayor Janu-
airy and notified him of the find. The
Mayor notified the Mt. Sterling au-
thorities, and in this way the owner
ship of the machine was established.
The car was taken back to Mt. Ster-
ling, Wednesday night, by repre-
sentative from one of the Mt. Ster-
ling garages, who identified it fully
as belonging to Mr.. Williams.
A dry goods store had been robbed
in Mt. Sterling during the night OF
goods valued at about $1,000, and it
is believed by the police that the
thieves used the Williams car to
bring their loot away. 1t is thought
they abandoned the car near where
it was found and made their way to
the Louisville and Nashville station,
where they embarked for Cincinnati.
No traces of the stolen goods have
been discovered by the Mt. Sterling
authorities.

There were more than two hundred
animals in the hog pens. Among the
breeders who showed swine were
Walter S. Meng, of North Middle
town; A. P. Shropshire. of Lexing-
