SUDDEN DEATH.
[Sure to be Needed.[
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown;
Tlie Prim try scored all his joyous mirth,
Aud Melancholy marked him „ for her own.
Marlinton should form a specta- cle club. Ouly those who wore spectacles should be allowed to join.
Colonel Ensthnm, who was serv- ing n two-years' sentence for man- slaughter in the Tucker jail, es- caped last week.
Miss Nora Boblett was thrown front her horse in front of Qolden's Store, last Saturday, but was not h irt. She had nerve enough to m mnt it again aud ride it home.
In answer to the question, why is Marlinton Hke Mt Zion in Pal- estine? We can think of no better answer than it now looks like n plowed field, BO much plowing has been done this season.
Andrew Moore found nud killed six black, snakes and two garter snakes in a hollow tree, which he had chopped down for wood. The agirreuate length of the black snakes was 34 feet, string measure.
When the hoys dig nshing- woruiB this year make them dig aronud the fruit trees young and old and they will get some of the cultivation they need. The boy will find also that it is a good place to dig bait.
Because we quote lower prices than we 've ever done before do n't pe' the idea that the qualities are lower. Our goods are fresh and new and we mean to sell them at a very short profit. Our expenses are short and we only ask for a short profit. Yours, etc.,
J. D. PULLIN & Co. Our young friend John Gay of
Indian Draft has been lately con- spicuously absent from Marlinton. Upon inquiry we are pleased to learn that he and Miss Allie Clun- en were happily married at Br in- field, Indiana, and have made gar- den and planted corn. This news may not be news, but it is none the less good.
If any ont. who is a judge of styles and qnalites will take the time to examine the difference be- tween up-to-data milliners' hats and the ones that a country store- keeper handles..she will, if she iB in the least inclined to be fashionable, want to get a hat where she cau unite style, quality, and loir pricos. This you can do at" MRS CUNNINOHAM'B. Call, and it can be proven.
Rov J. M. Anderson struck the key note last Thursday night at prayer meeting. We have some young boys at this place whose church manners are execrable. When the minister got np to read, these boys set np their usual antics so annoying to quiet people. Tho preacher gave them an open re- proof. "Boys, be quiet! I want you to know that if I can do nothing else. I can keep order." The rebuke told, and there was im- mediately a stillness that could be felt, and it continued during the service.
Josh Billings said, I do n't keer how much a man talks if he only
John L. Hannah Falls Dead From His Wagon-Scat.
John L. Hannah of Point Moon- tain, fell dead in his wagon on Point mountain. He was driving a two horse team and a man named Ham brick was sitting be- side him. He reached forward to strike the horses and the lash returning struck him in the eye. He said, "I believe that nasty whip ban pot my eye out," and fell dead.
The decensed was a man about 25 years old, and married. He was a son of Shajdon Hannah, on Elk. From information gleaned from medical men, a blow in the eye might produce death from three causes, at least. The lash might reach the brain: a blood- vessel of the brain might be burst: or death might result from a weak heart.

Jim Wilson has had a peck of trouble lately and is ageing fast. His anxious friends notice more gray wool and wrinkles"daily. He is stooped and bowed down under adversity. He is a colored darkey, who served as a body servant to a Confederate officer all through the war. He Iras been a widower for a number of years and, and was sup- posed to be looking ont for number two. His boy, under age, has been working for John T. Byrd, of Bath County. Tbey fell out over a settlement, and Jim brought suit. Mr Byrd wrote him that he would give him a borse and baggy and $20 to conyjromise. All his friends advised him to accept it, hot-Jim would not weaken. He boasted to his darkey friends, like an Indian around a camp-fire, how he would come riding bark from the Batb Court in his bnggy. He went over there and lost the whole ease. The defendant produced a written agreement, showing that Jim ^had released lo him his rigJit to claim tbe wagesof his infant* son for fif- ty cents worth of tobacco.
