A LETTER FROM
WEST VIRGINIA
Bayard, W. Va., Feb. ll, 1900.
Deas editor :?
Nearly three years ago I left your
town for the west seeking f raployment,
and now as I look out, the snow is th?
ing and the wind howling, even while
1 am looking- on all of this my mind
turns to the Vale of Old Shenandoah]
and the playmates of my school days
a^o to those older than myself many
whose locks are fast turning gray be
Danse Ol their year.*. My mind returns
in sweet r.-iii' tnbraoee of the many
deeds of kindess they bestowed upon
me in my younger days, and I will say
that in all ray travels I have never met
any persons that seemed just like those
in old Virginia.
I am sorry to learn that (luring those
three years there have been many of the
older persons, who have gone to their
reward, among them were some that I
DHICD admired because of their kind
treatment. I guess the Valley people
along the W. Va., lino certainly have
found it out many of the plants haw
run very little over a year. During
this time I have been out of employ?
ment about three months. At pit ft ni
I am working for the Davis Coal and
Coke Co., at Henry, W. Va., and j
guess if many of my old acquaintances
should pay me a visit they would de?
cline riding to my work with me. At
this writing I am running the steam
and air pumps in the shaft at the
above named place, which is 228 't.
below the surface.
A minister visited me the other clay.
nevertheless be did not knock at th?
[loot- of ray underground house?hu:
sent me a asl ige down to eon
the surface, or as we call it to come
to the top. Yes, I almost forgot to
tell you that one of the Virginia boys
who has married quite recently cam
to our work several days at:o. and got
employment ncently and am inform?
ed by another, his trunk was seen at
the station tagged for Middletown, Va.
I will leave the reader to guess who it
wa>. I think the next time he comes he
will bring his wife along then we can
hope to keep him longer. Well I guess
I must clos?- less I might take a notion
to pack my trunk and come to Vir?
ginia. With l>est wishes for BKRALD,
I am yours, truly,

City May Get a Receiver.
Roanoke, Va.. Feb. 14.?The city ot

The town is said to be considerably
embarassed and, owincr to factional
differences in the city council. It is
regarded with favor by many large
property holders.

He Was Under Oath.
The late Professor Rowland of Johns

Henry. Among his notable achieve?
ments In the realm of pure science was
the calculation of the mechanical
equivalent of heat and th.* BBB of grat?
ings in spectrum analysis, for Which
purpose he devised a machine that
could cut 40.000 lines to the Inch on a
plate of polished metal. In the prac
tlcal application of his knowledge: bf

?I am."
"Have you any baggage?"
"No."
"Well, friend, you eau do me a favor

"But you just said you were going
