VKKY special attention is invited to the Millinery Stock at MRS
CUNNINGHAM'S, which is replete with the newest and prettiest ideas.
MRS CUNNINGHAM can furnish you with all kinds of fashionable dress trimmings, including line luces, velvets, silks, ribbons, chif- fons and the latest gimps.
DRS CUNNINGHAM and Price went to Buckeye Tuesday to am- putate Mre Jonethan, McNeil's arm. VShe is afflicted with cancer and the physicians, though acced- ing to the wish of her and her frieuds, consider the operation hopeless.
THE Mutnal Telephone company of Konceverte is simply organized for the town and does not contem- p ut extending a line to Merlin- ton. The telephone from Mingo, we understand, is to b<; completed to this point at once, and from here it is to be extended to Green Bank.
THE dogs of this town have be- come a great nuisance. A man can not walk the principal street w tliont being bayed by them in great numbers. They have also ruined ihe nervous constitutions of a number of worthy cows. Last week p >ison was put out and a number of them ate it, but only one died. We may add that he was the only decent dog in the place. The reason is he belonged to the writer. The rest are worth, less ours.
Messrs A. C. and Frank Nickel, agents for Monarch bicycles, have been in town with a line of wheels. This wheel represents the acme of bicycle construction, and the beau- tiful samples are the admiration of all who have seen them. They have made a few sales and have other deals in sight. They expect to return to Pocahontas about the middle of next month to deliver purchases. The Monarch is a lit- tle high in price, as compared to "cheap" wheels, but it is also high qua
in near Dave Anderson's abode and ran a bee line to the point of the hil at the cabin in the McClin- tio bottom, crossing the Creek at an angle. The corps came up to start the survey. Mr Bartholemew the chief engineer is an elder'y gentlemen, with gray hair aud mustache, and was stepping around as lively as a cricket. Mr Gray, of Richmond, is the engineer in charge of the field- work, and has all the glory of the transit.
The work progressed very rap- idly through the open fields of the town. First the axmen made a lot of stakes and they were numbered, the chain, a ribbon of steel, was run out its full length from the transit, and the front rodsmen holds his red and white staff until he is in line, and then stake no. 1 is driven, and they carry the chain on in a straight line and set stakes every hundred feet, as far as the engineer can see through the mag- nificent telescope, on top of the transit. Then in the parlance of survey they "give hint a hub." The engineer carries his instru- ment forward and levels it up by the Jjub, Which is a Jfroad headed stake driven level with the ground with a tack in the exact center.
At the second bub, Mr Gray, who is a tall, stoop shouldered man, with a very commanding voice, was working his crew in front of him, waving his arms and getting the stakes in with great ex- pedition.- The hands were nearly all new men, and there was a sort of nervous eagerness to get every thing done promptly. Shortly the front rod cbainman came to the brink of Knapps Creak, which had a four foot flood in it. Here he hesitated. The engineer waved him on. They asked him to have a hub. He pointedly refused. The word came along the line for him to go on. The boy looked at the stream as if he had a desper- ate notion to wade it, but finally decided-that it eodld n't be done, and the engineer was finally per- suaded to have a bub.
Taking one he decided to have another, and, looking at the creek, muttered an explanation that he couldn't tell whether it was too high to" wade or not From the two he got the angle to the third on the other side of the stream. The party crossed in a big wagon and on horseback, and disappeared in the direction of Ronceverte.
By very careful work the track was run through the heart of this city striking but two build- ings, Mart McDowell's barbershop and an old barn.
COURT INCIDENTS.
No one has been abls to remem- ber a term of the court when as many as fonr convicts were sent to the penetentiary from this county before. Three confessed and Wil- foug was tried.
There were thirty-three indict- ments returned by the grand-jury. Four of these were for felony. The others were for minor offenses, di- rectly or indirectly connected with liquor.
• • Tbe famous divorce case of
Cochran vs Cochran was called up on the question of suit money to be provided tbe defendant, Mrs Cochran. An order was entered requiring the plaintiff to pay to the defendant tbe sum of $75. on tbe penalty of having his suit dis- missed.
Charles Beverage, the witness of last court, who refused to divulge tbe name of the man of' whom be bought moonshine whiskey, and who was let out on his own recog- nizance to come back and testify, again refused 4u his quixotic man- ner to give.evidence, and tbe Judge sent him to jfil for an indefinite length* of time, and adjourned court without releasing him or fix- ing his sentence.

THE case of A. M. McLaughlin vs John T. McGraw and others in the Supreme Court has been rever- sed. The points of error sustained are that the bill did not set out the subsequent conveyances of the land with sufficient fullness aud was therefore demerrable and that is was error to decree a sale of the part still remaining in the hands of the original vendee without ascer- taining fully tbe facts concerning subsequent conveyances when this residue was clearly insufficient to pay the unpaid purchase money.
A CITIZEN near Marlinton was put to considerable extra trouble recently through ignorauce of ex- press office customs. He received a card from the agent at Hot Springs that an express package awaited him. The card had the usual prnted instructions to pre- sent at the office, tho very seldom is this rule complied with. In the hurry of departing he forgot the card which was to be the open se-

* -The ghost scare at George Lew rs* in the Levels, which was re- ported in the Greenbrier Indepen- dent last week, was told some men in the court-honse by Chet Rogers who is as firm a believer in ghosts as he is in litigation. We do not hesitate to say that there may have been a ghost there at that time, but before we take any stock in it, we require proof that the whole business was not gotten up express- ly for Chefs benefit. Chet was re- lating the horrors of that night, the snarling and groaning, the gleaming tusks and the shaking of the house, and it wns plain to be seen be believed every word of it. Thpre was a ventriloquist in the crowd that he*rd him. One of the pirty remarked that a man could be heard behind the tower door pf the court house at times. The ven- triloqilist, Mr Maxim, the McCor* mink Machine Agent, caught on at once.' He walked over near the door and the sound of a

The corps consists of seventeen men. Tbe greater number of them are Pocahontas boys. John Yea- ger has charge of the lock level, I,'gon Marshall front clrainman, Emery Smith rear chainman, and William Siple and Willy Gatewood are axemen. Brown McLaughlin measures from the stakes set a cer- tain distance to either side. Jim Kirkpatrick, a very popular young man, who has baen working in Marlinton for some time, is cook.
It must be very expensive work making a survey of this kind. It was necessary to buy a new camp- ing out tit to make this svrvey. It cost over $800 and took five wag ons to bring it here from Beverly. The men sleep in tents on good mattresses. The cook has receiv- ed instructions to have breakfast at six and supper at six. They live .on the best-that can be obtain- ed from tbe farm houses and stores.

A large amount of chancery ord- ers were entered. One case which has been pending for five years or so was finally disposed of. It was the case of O. 8. Wilson & Bro. vs C. A. Yeager et als, concerning the selling of the hotel property at Marlinton, belonging to Mrs C. A. Yeager, for debts contracted by her husband while engaged in tbe logging business in Tucker Coun- ty. The court decided that the hotel was the seperate property of Mrs Yeager, and not responsible for her husband's debts.
Rev John H. Ratliff, accused of stealing a horse, came into court with his head held high in the nir, and thanked the Judge most sin- cerely for-the two years that were given him. Elmer Jackson and Ervine Houdyschell both went up

The points of error sustained are that the bill did not set out the subsequent conveyances of the land with sufficient fullness aud was therefore demerrable and that is was error to decree a sale of the part still remaining in the hands of the original vendee without ascer- taining fully tbe facts concerning subsequent conveyances when this residue was clearly insufficient to pay the unpaid purchase money.
A CITIZEN near Marlinton was put to considerable extra trouble recently through ignorauce of ex- press office customs. He received a card from the agent at Hot Springs that an express package awaited him. The card had the usual prnted instructions to pre- sent at the office, tho very seldom is this rule complied with. In the hurry of departing he forgot the card which was to be the open se-

* -The ghost scare at George Lew rs* in the Levels, which was re- ported in the Greenbrier Indepen- dent last week, was told some men in the court-honse by Chet Rogers who is as firm a believer in ghosts as he is in litigation. We do not hesitate to say that there may have been a ghost there at that time, but before we take any stock in it, we require proof that the whole business was not gotten up express- ly for Chefs benefit. Chet was re- lating the horrors of that night, the snarling and groaning, the gleaming tusks and the shaking of the house, and it wns plain to be seen be believed every word of it. Thpre was a ventriloquist in the crowd that he*rd him. One of the pirty remarked that a man could be heard behind the tower door pf the court house at times. The ven- triloqilist, Mr Maxim, the McCor* mink Machine Agent, caught on at once.' He walked over near the door and the sound of a

The corps consists of seventeen men. Tbe greater number of them are Pocahontas boys. John Yea- ger has charge of the lock level, I,'gon Marshall front clrainman, Emery Smith rear chainman, and William Siple and Willy Gatewood are axemen. Brown McLaughlin measures from the stakes set a cer- tain distance to either side. Jim Kirkpatrick, a very popular young man, who has baen working in Marlinton for some time, is cook.
It must be very expensive work making a survey of this kind. It was necessary to buy a new camp- ing out tit to make this svrvey. It cost over $800 and took five wag ons to bring it here from Beverly. The men sleep in tents on good mattresses. The cook has receiv- ed instructions to have breakfast at six and supper at six. They live .on the best-that can be obtain- ed from tbe farm houses and stores.

A large amount of chancery ord- ers were entered. One case which has been pending for five years or so was finally disposed of. It was the case of O. 8. Wilson & Bro. vs C. A. Yeager et als, concerning the selling of the hotel property at Marlinton, belonging to Mrs C. A. Yeager, for debts contracted by her husband while engaged in tbe logging business in Tucker Coun- ty. The court decided that the hotel was the seperate property of Mrs Yeager, and not responsible for her husband's debts.
