LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
NO HIcK TOWN


WARRINGTON, Nov. 24.-(Edi-
tor, The West Virginian)-In the
Moundsville Journal for November
% Foss Curtis is quoted as saying:
"Wo should so out to Manning
ton at least five hundred strong.
You know Warrington Is only a
'hick' town, and Is not used Is
having more than two or three Wis.
itors at time. II We go out the. g
with five hundred ardent boosters
we will scare those Mennington
boys so bad they will be practically
beat before they so on the field"
This statement was included IN
an article which, while boosting
Moundsville, was with the quoted
exception written in a courteous
tone and by one who was appar.
emily possessed OF certain gentle.
manly qualities.
The statement made by Mr.. Cur.
It's was the only one in the article
that could give offense, but his
statement did Just that, and Man.
nington fans are up in the air"
with vengeance because OF 1t.
Warrington may be n chick"
town-although its citizens do not
think so-but Mr.. Curtis will finl
that Warrington people at least
know how to show courtesy to
others II he should attend the
Hama II nand mt lii Gotta 1hnN ,,,o
expect to show him and his home
football team how that gains
should be played to win.
A man should be gentleman,
even in sports, but Mr.. Curtis was
probably never taught in that way.
He will find tomorrow that his
too:free speech had much to do
with giving the Mound City team
one of the hest lickings they have
had this year"

pear at the Princess today would
no doubt, attract the attention Of
curiosity and sensational seekers,
but to state that It is really tho
screen version of 1.-THE Legend OF
Sleepy Hollow" by Washington
Irving would arouse interest Ia
all lovers Of good literature and
particularly students.
No better choice for the chaTac-
ter role OF Ichabad Crane could
have been made than the inimat-
able VIII Rodgers. for he fits
ideally the part OF the highly I'M
aglnative and good naturei
school teacher Of Sleepy Hollow,
who could tell such marvellous
and weird ghost stories Of head
less horscmen and other equally
frightful tales that were very real
to him
The background of the story is
quaint, and at times charming
and the settings and costumes are

nine lead takes effectively the cole

NEGRO CHURCH

MANNINGToN, Nov. 24.-rEdi.
tor, The West Virginian.l-I have
known many movements put
through to finance certain thing !
in which the pubic was called upOn
for support, | have seen people
pour out their money on such oc.
casions very freely.
For instance. II there was a ca
made to support the missions IN
the far.off land Of Africa. people
would respond very literally. o.,
II there was a call 10 support the
building of a college or church Iu
Chicago, New York, or elsewhere
the people OF Warrington would
throw out the cash.
Now am not trying to dowl
the spirit Of giving for the above
mentioned illustrations, but thers
is one thing about people giving
for such things which l dor't under.
stand, because when there is a cai,
for money for the iar.otf lands or
In other cities the people are vers
liberal and the preachers In tn,
church will whoop with all theft
might; but when there is a call IN
our own town for money to make II
possible to preach the gospel TO the
same people In Warrington w,
hear criticism, and the people viii
hold a penny I'LL the eagle saueals,
The colored people have been
making heroic effort to bui;d a
little church in Mannlngton. Thor
pastor, the Rev. H. G. Arnold, /,
a fine old man, and Is making ey.
cry effort In mis- power to make
this church possible.
Are the people Of Warrington
willing for this mans work to
fall? Do you know money paid to
build this church will do more good
than any missionary money Won
ever paid? Because this churcn
will give these people a place of
worship for years TO come.
me colored people are here to
stay as long as time shall last, and
we know that a religious people
are better citizens. Certainly every
church In Warrington can raise
from 500 to 5000 next Sunday for
this purpose with very little of.
fort Will the pastor OF each
church make the effort?
For God is no respector of per.
sons; for in every nation; Church
or town. he that feareth God and
worketh Righteousness is accepted
Of Him." There are people right
here in Manninton who have not
heard the gospel for thirty years.
The right kind Of home work will
bring them in. | am one in favor

!. CUP IN Fingers
Homewood Woman Narrowly
Escapes Injury From Stray
Shot Wednesday.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 24-MIss
Madge Ferry Of Underwood mar
rowly escaped death wednesday
morning when a bullet coming
apparently from the hillside op-
posite the home entered the din
ing room window, shot a coffee
cup from her fingers. and buried
itself in the door facing on the or
posite Ssde Of the room. The bull
let entered the wood for nearly
the length OF a tooth pick, AMI
was believed to have been fired
from a high powered rifle.
An Investigation is being con
Quoted, but as. yet no trace lead
ing to the arrest Of the person
who made the shot has beea
found. The prevalent belief is that
some person who is an enemy Of
the family did the shooting since
there would be no possible chance
Of a stray bullet entering tho
window from that angle unless 1t
were fired directly at the house.
