at the poftoOce at Point Pleaaant, W. trader the Act of March 3.1879. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 15,1909 There lias been great deal of hot air about the north pole the past week. The hunter that goes prowling about these Jays without a license is to find himself in trouble.

Parkersburg is having a terrific -quarrel over her new water works system. It is not whether it shall be installed, but how, that is raising all the fuss. Recently the Huntington Advertiser celebrated the twentieth anniversary of its founding. It is a first diss journal in every respect, a credit to the city in which it is published. News from the Roosevelt huntinggrounds in Africa state that it takes thirty days to skin a hippotamus.

Yet Bwana Tunilio, when feeling tit, could skin an in thirty seconds. Of course a Chicago University professor had to doubt Dr. Cook's of the north pole. Nothing is authentic unless it bears the stamp of approval of the dogmatic faculty of this school. CROP OF PEACHES LARGE.

NUMEROUS QUESTIONS RAISED. To set at rest the numerous questions raised recently in the jurisdictions of the West Virginia United States deputy tnarshalls" to arrest persons on the river, one government office expounds laws covering this. It is held by the government that the Ohio river, to the low water line on the Ohio side, belongs to West Yigrinia, and that all persons in that territory eoine under the jurisdiction of this state's officials. Don't forget the "Measuring Social," Sept. at the Presbyterian Manse.

TAKING CANDY EMM A BABY. Baltimore is prejwring to bum West Virginia gas. With the first connection that is made with the consumer in that city the gas supply of this state will to diminish, and one of the richest heritages ever (xissessed by any state will be practically given away. The vast wealth in gas that is now by this state will be of only temporary benefit to her commercial and industrial interests, but not until it is gone will the loss be felt, so says the Huntington Herald-Dispatch. It further says, it is stated that the companies who are promoting the gas line from the West Virginia fields to Baltimore contemplate an expenditure of fifteen millions ofj dollars in getting the gas to the Baltimore market.

The of so much money indicates supreme in the maintenance of the I supply of gas in thU state, but rate to tbe consumer is being fixed that will return their money in twenty years and they do not expect it will last over that period. In frau i is the franchise and ordinance in the city of Baltimore, covering the right of the gas company to supply the city with natural gas, provision is made for the manufactured article to take the place of natural gas in West Virginia is inexhaustible. The shame of it all is that West Virginia gets even taxes. The piping of gas out of this state cannot be classed as highway is more like taking candy from a baby. I "KNOCKERS." It has been said that some men are pitched to a minor key.

They probably do not realize it; but there is a downward tendency in their thought and conversation. Every thing is prospects dark. They are always seeing snags ahead. They see tendencies in American life which are sure to 1 undermine our democracy and end in revolution. Everything is in a deI plorable condition.

We know of many, unhappily, in this progressive town of ours, whose pessimistic proclivities would, if allowed to materialize, damn the future of what, through it's pre-cvident adaptability, must one of the prominent water-towns of the nion; for such a condition is paramount in the minds of the progressive element in l'oint Pleasant. The is a nuisance under any condition, but the member of that elan "in a small community is a veritable obstruction. He goes through life like a tornado cloud, carrying blackness and disaster where ever he goes. Everything depends upon the way we look at things. Near these calamity-howlers we lind people liv, ing practically under the same who see beauty and increasing goodness, and an upward trend in civilization everywhere.

What an untold blessing to form early in life the optimistic habit of seeing the best instead of the worst! Think how much more those get out of life who arc always courageous, always grateful for every good thing that comes to them, and who have a great faith in the goodness of human nature and in the honesty of most people!

Harlan is the second memlier of the United States supreme court who is to be in ill health. It is stated that neither he nor Justice Moody will able to take their seats when the court convenes in October for the full term. Although Justice Harlan's illness is not of a serious nature, it is admit ted he may take a trip to California for the purpose of recuperating. As Justice Harlan is now in his seventieth year, he has passed the age of retirement. L'p to this time he has been a remarkably vigorous man for his age, and has been trequentlv urged to become a candidate for Governor of Kentucky.

Despite the fact that Justice Moody is the youngest member of the court, it is believed lie will not lie able to go on the bench again. Mr Moody is not blessed with a very nigged constitution. HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED. The Baltimore Sun Mrs. Robt.

L. Bland a very pretty compliment by publishing in its literary department a two-column portrait of herself and the following account of her life and poem from her pen: TO GERTRUDE. FRANCES NooRK 11 LAND. Mrs. Frances Moore Bland is the daughter of the late Hon.

Charles T. Moore, formerly a member of the Supreme Court of West Virginia, and the wife of Hou. Robert Linn Bland, a former member of the West Virginia Legislature anda prominent lawver of Weston, W. Ya. She was born ut Point Pleasant, Mason county, W.

and was finely educated atMt. de Chantal Academy at Wheeling. From childhood she displayed marked literary talent and began to exj press her decidcdlv poetic instinct in verse. Running through her poems i is a strain of great sweetness and deep pathos, and many of them have been published in the newspapers of her native State. In 1900 a collection of her poetic writings was pubj lished under the title "Twilight Revi erics, which she affectionately dedicated to "My Mother in Heaven." The poem here produced was to her dearest friend, residing in Weston.

The sad, plaintive voice of October Is sighing its lone song of grief, Whilst the lisping inurmer ofbreezc" Whisper vain of glad Springtime's relief? Yet I hear "mid the musical medley, 1 hat fills the whole air with its plea, One name that love's fetters hate linkened Securely and firm unto me. 1 is name of a loved one? Knshrincd by the angels above In a sanctum of true heart's devotion. And locked with the gold key of love; A name that the minstrels and sages Of the long silenced, echoless pTist In Ivrical notes would have warbled In praise and esteem to the last. fair gem of soft luster, In womanhood's sphere a bright star Illumining the pathway of others, Yet shining resplendent afar! With a heart in whose deuths is oft echoed Humility faith enshrined praver, And a soul like the spotless Filled with bright golden deeds gleaming fair. Downcast eyes like the blue skies of April.

oft With the drops of pain From the desert Sahara of others, Stretching far o'erflowerlessplain: And wee, fragile hands that in pity Gently e'ose over fever-dimmed eves, Like the touch of the fairest rose petals. Earth pressed, 'neath the starlighted skies. Dear Heart, when the silence of ages Is waked by the harp strings above, And the shores of the beautiful river Are thronged with the forms that we love, I shall stoop where the bright, sparkling waters Reflect all our past in a gleam. And your face will smile in its beauty ike the hallowed return of a dream BASE BALL POINT PLEASANT SHUTS OUT PROCTORVILLt Last Sunday the largest crowd of ladies and gentlemen that ever assembled on the Point Pleasant Base Ball grounds, witnessed one of the most interesting games played here this season. The Proctorville, team, strengthened from other town's on this side of the river, was pitted against Point Pleasant.

The fact that pitcher Dashner, who had been absent in the upper' end of the state and in Ohio, on a I pitching tour, was announced to pitch the game, no doubt drew many who! otherwise would not have attended. Ill the last three games Mr. Dashner has officiated in the box he has Strikeouts to his credit, with only hits against him. These laurel'sl were won against Marietta, ville and Proctorville. 1 he score list Sunday was to 0 in favor of the Point boys.

"Dvke" had the visitors completely at his merer at every stage of the game. Mr. Daughertv, his catcher, was in fine fettle and suoported him well. I here was not a single one of the home team but what elicited great applause from the large audience for their top-notch work. The Proctor-j ville team is strong and had a fine battery, but Greenlee, W.

Smith, S. Burdett, Dashner, Daughertv, Harrison, Park and Varian were onto the great pitcher and lambasted him at Will. A traveling' man in attendance said he had witnessed many games but Point Pleas-, ant had a battery and a team behind him that would be dangerous to any! club no matter where they hailed from.
