Particular


Particularly America which
makes a profession of grand propa-
ganda. has nothing substantial with
in her to speak OF. A little study
on the hidden side of western civili-
cation shows that there IL nothing
for US to learn from II except ma
terial civilization based on science
and the spirit of social life based on
publicity.
There are more crimes committed
in the United States than In any
other country IN the world and the
appearance of sensational 4nforma-
ton about numerous diabolical bank
robberies IN the newspapers Is an
e day matter.
In a word. America Is a land of
despotic capitalists whose doctrine
lie the almighty dollar. and one can
escape any punishment II only he
has money.

his home in Charles Town last FRI
..-y about noon, in the 73rd year OF

NEAR CHARLES TOWN.

the late Capt. George w. Engle, de-
parted this life at her home, two
miles west of Charles Town, early
last Saturday morning, December 10,

nine months. She was born in Fred
erick Co., Virginia, but later moved
to Berkeley Co., where she grew to

remaining years were spent. Her
maiden name was Chapman, and she
was the mother of thirteen children,
all living, except two, who died in
infancy, and a son, who proceeded
her to the grave several years ago.
She was a true Southern woman,
whose first thought and duty was to
her home and family, and it was a
very great pleasure to her to enter
tain her relatives and friends. In
young womanhood she was happily
converted and joined the Southern
Methodist Church at Payne's Chapel.
All through her long and useful life
she exemplifed the virtues of true
Christian woman. She realized her
duty to her fellowman and instilled
in her children the same. worthy
ideal. Her husband proceeded hel
to the grave just twenty-seven years
ago and it was through her wise
counsel and whole-hearted devotion
that her family have many pleasant
memories to cherish. The following
children survive: Susan E., George
w, Martha A., Charles t., Carrie v.
John c., and Mary v. at home;
Lee Engle, near Washington, D. G.
C. Preston Engle, in Charles Town
and Mrs. G. c. Bush, now Mission
airy in the Belgian Congo, Africa

yesterday aftrnoon, Rev. F. A. lyle
and Rev. T. NJ. Swami conductin,
the services, after which her bod.
was laid to rest beside her HUSBAND
in Edge Hill Cemetery.
She wore crown of patience,
Through the years she struggled
on,
| Those hands that rest forever,
Are the hands that made on
home,
A precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
| Which never can be filled.

LIKED TO SEE THEM BURN.

Mitchell Mansfield, a youth about
sixteen years old, living at the Burns
home in Berkeley county, near the
Jefferson county line, rot far from
Leetown, was arrested on Tuesday
and taken to Jail H. Martinsburg,
charged with having ared the straw
rick and cow stabl4 ca the farm of
E. R. Ruble, in Jefferson county.
Later the boy gave ( verbal confess
sion to Prosecuting Attorney Hannis,
Sheriff Dean and others, the officials
announced, in which he said he had
fired them because he liked to see
them burn. He was held for the
Jefferson County authorities, his trial
to be had in Jefferson, in which
county the act was committed.
Two bloodhounds in charge of
Deputy Rice, of Fairmont, were put
on the case and they twice followed
the scent from the scene of the fire
to the Burns home, where the boy
has lived as an adopted son. The
boy had worn boots when he com
mitted the act and footprints also
showed on the trail to the house.
The boy was in bed when taken, and
made no protest at the arrest. He
is understood to b. the only man
living in the Burns home, which is
about quarter OF a mile from the
scene of the fire.
Mansfield was brought to Charles
Town last Tuesday, where he again
admitted that he had started the fire
at Ruble's. He was committed to
jail to await the next grand jury
after a hearing before Justice

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Resolutions of the H. C. Page
Bible Class of Zion P. E. Church
Charles Town, West Virginia, upon
the death of Mr.. Page, who passed
away in Baltimore, on the 4th day of
December, 1922.
In every Community there live
two classes Of people, the first, those
who aim for personal gain or honor
to themselves, and the second are
those who so live that their charac-
tiers stand out with peculiar bright
ness, whose lives are benediction to
all who come in contact with them,
whose influence spreads out and be-
yond the little groove of every day
life. 1t expands into things felt,
kindnesses done, charities performed
and loving service to their fellow
man that is part of the God given
nature of men. To the latter be-
longed the life of Mr.. H. C. Page.
Foremost in every good work that
tended to, and did lift his neighbor-
hood to higher plans, that made the
world better place to live, that
brought man to more perfect
knowledge of his God, he gave of his
best. He minded not the big things
of the world only as his every day
walk brought him into contact with
them, but rather he chose the small
and lowly ways where the sweet in
fiuence of his Christian character
shed its ray of light over all it
touched. Like his Divine Master, he
elected to do good to the greatest
number and bring happiness where
sadness prevailed, to relieve the
needy, and care for those in distress.
What more could We ask of such
life? He has gone to join that
Master, in the Realms of Rest, and
while many will miss him here and
heart aches follow his going, we
would not recall him nor ask that he
be returned to us. He fulfilled his
and God took him that he
might enjoy the bliss of Heaven.
AS teacher Mr.. Page was ever
prompt and conscientious, he was
devoted student of the Bible and
gave much of his time and best
thought to imparting the knowledge
gained by such study. He built up
a large class in Zion Church by his
earnestness and zeal and took much
interest in everything that helped to
increase the attendance.
To his devoted wife, we say, be of
good cheer, trust God, and rely upon
the blessed promises of the Savior
of the World and He in His own good
time will make her see the things
that now seem mysterious and dark
and will open to her that Heavenly
happiness where her loved one has
gone to be always with Him.
1t is resolved by the Class that a
copy of the above be published in the
Town papers and also in the Parish
at Work, and copy be sent to Mrs.
Page.
