WORK ON BRIDGE STOPPED:
The Proposed Siruaure ai Ponton
Will Probahlu Nob Be Built.
Since Morgan A Co. have pur-,
chased tbe controlling interest in!
tbeC., H. A D. tt’y work on the:
; large bridge which was to have
connected Ashland with Ironton.i
has been stopped. From present
indications it would seem that that!
proposed structure will now be eu
N tirely abandoned. Since Morgan
and bis associates already have the
controlling interests in the N. AW.
and C. A O., lines, it is figured
that tbe erection of a largo bridge
across tbe placid waters of tbe
Ohio at Ashland would be a useless
expenditure of large sums of mon
ey, which otherwise could be used
in the improvement of the roadbed,
rolling stock, etc.
The C., H AD. announced some
time ago that it was going into the
coal fields of West Virginia, paral
leling the N. A W. and C. A O. and
would touch properties which had
had no outlet in the past. It was
not a threat, but a business pur
pose which hail been carried to the
extent of the beginning of work of
erecting a bridge across ,be Ohio
to make the extension.
And then it is figured that, those
three great lines being controlled
by Morgan, tbeC., H. A D. may
come to Kenova over the N. A W.,
thus making this point the division
terminal for the C , H. A D. instead
of 1 ronton.
At any rate Kenova is still the
hub aiound which all great railroad
maneuvers in this section will re
volve.
SHOULD HAVE READ HIS PALM
__ Quite a sensation was sprung in
©ur city Wednesday when a woman
reported to the authorities that she
had been assailhed and robbed by a
man unknown t^her. The woman
in question says she is a palmist and
that she is connected with tbe sireet
carnival which is at Catlettsburg
this week. She says the man repre
sented to her that he had a boat for
sale at this place, aud that she ac
corapanied him to Kenova with a
view of purchasing the aforesaid
boat, Yawl or skiff (we know not
which); when they arrived at a point
near which the coal chute formerly
stood, the man struck her with a
club, knocking her senseless and af
ter robbing her, departed for parts
v unknown.
The bruises which the woman
exhibited showed very plainly thit
tbe boat owner (?) had given her a
pretty hard jolt with a club or
some otf er blunt instrument.
The city authorities and Consta
ble Strother Mays immediately
went to work on the case. A pair
of blood bounds was brought over
from Catlettshurg but could do no
good, so oomple-cly had the fugi
tive cov. red l.is trail. — Kenova

Ftom where the rippling Fhenandoah, fairest
Daughter ol the Stars,
By the toil of countless ages has torn down her
rocky bai s—
From the vmeyaidsof the Valley and its fields
of wheat and corn.
From the land of wine and honey, ruthless
from its mother torn —
From our splendid western borders, faring
toward the setting sun.
That with so great toil and danger from Iheir
savage ho»t» were won.
Where the mighty, broad Ohio, flowing on so
strong and free,
Bears the commerce of an empire from the
Mountains to the sea—
From the stern and rngged counties stretched
along onr northern line.
Where men grow tall and sturdy, like their
hemlock and their pine.
And the busv hum of industry from workshop
and from mill
Tell* of Genius's great triumphs and Labor's
wondrous\kill—
And from our southern boundary, where He
the snnny fields.
And the earth her richest treasures to the
delving miner yields.
Where the Iron horse, shrilly shrieking, starts
the ea^le from his crag.
And the axe of spoiling woodman sound*
where roamed the bear and stag —
Aye! 'rom every bill and valley, from moun
tain and from plain.
Swell* forth the splendid chorus, telling in it*
proud icfrain
The grand achievements of a people who by
divine decree
Have Progress as, their motto, “Mountaineers
Are Free!”
In the day* of the beginning, ere mankind wa*
given birth.
The Creator with his riche* filled the breast of
Mother Earth.
In His wisdom aud II is goodness vastest tr*a*
urea there were stored,
W ailing silent through the age* human effort
to reward.
And of this great beneficence, so regally pre
pared,
Our State above all other State* the bounties
rich bas shared.
Our valleys, fair and fertile, yield their pro
ducts of the best,
The cattloon our thousand hill* find rich past
ures to the crest.
Our fore-ts of primeval growth In great, un
measured tracts,
Slill thickly stand and yet invite the ever
conquering axe.
I he giants of the centuries, the maple, oak
and pine,
Await the stroko that laj s them low, each for
its own design.
And through the hills and mountain* with
certainty we trace
Great dusky veins of splendid coat, Gads' best
gift to the race.
’flit latent force and energy, a million years
compressed.
Burst forth to move a universe, obeying man' *
behest.
Even from the bowels of the earth gnsh forth
for human use
Thick stream* of oil, unfailing as the widow’s
ancient erase,
'Vhlle Himes as *tmnge as ever burned at
Mystic’s allar fire
Pr*9s up from Nature*, reservoirs and yield to
man’s desire.
Gh! such blessings ne’er were given io a *ove»
eign state before!
•ipportumiy ne’er opened hall so wide her gnl
den door!
For the re^olutr and faithful, the industrious
and strong.
The harvest rich is wa ling to reward the
ittriring throng.
But *ti» not our rich resource , tba shall make
us truly great.
Men r>« brains and strength and virtue still
must constitute the state.
Noble aim , and high endeavor, pair totic deed'
and pure.
Must be woven in our build n< if the structure
shall endure.
Our ambitions must be tempered by desire tc>
do the rlvltt—
Gret-d of gold and power our best efforts often
blight.
Negltr ttul of ourdnty to our God and fellow
men.
Our isnrel wreaths shall wither and return to
dust again.
Let our uplands lift us Higher, till our very
being t hrills
With Ihe sweetness and the grandr ur of onr
West Virginia hills;
And the privilege of living in earth's choicest
dwelling fdace
Shall make ns blest through all Ihe ages o'er
the others of our race.
So with our lovely women, as virtuous as fair,
And out men of pure ideals, ready each lit,
part fo bear,
We'll form a grand dominion, patriotic, clean
and strong,
Thai shall stand for truth and justice and per
petuale no wrong.
Then, all hail to West Virginia! Forward
marrh! with steady stride!
In faith and hope and wisdom may our ship
e'er safely glide.
And through the ages yet to come let the
world our piogie»s see.
And revere our stainless irrntin,“Mountaineers
Are Always Free!”

Walnut Gap Huudsy School had
a picnic last Sunday, tho 17»h,
near Huckleberry Knob, which
was oue of the largest that haa
b«eu held in the oounty for
years. Between three and four
hundred were found on the pie
uic ground by eleven o’clock, tho
hour set for the opening of the
program, which waa opened by a
noble and and eloquent lecture by
the Rev. Jeff Fuller. Immediate
ly after the lecture dinuer was
served, which waa prepared and
brought on the. ground, by the
good people of the vicinity free
for everybody ; so ihn whole multi
tude was filled and yet had enough
left for as many more. The Lord
blessed us with abundance. After
dinner was over our program waa
continued by au able addreaa by
Jacob Blybon, of Bowen, after
which about fifty Sunday School
children came to the front with
their pieces, and with great bold
ness they mounted the platform
and spoke loud and clear. Alter
ibe children tiuished we received
tho closing address from the Rev.
Gal. Angles, of Cross Roads. Then
came the free candy treat. So we
called out all Sunday School ohil
dreu from everywhere and formnd
them in lino and equally divided
forty pounds of candy among thorn
which Walnut Gap School had
prepared lor the ocoasiou. This
being the last upon our program
we were dismissed and all went
home rejoicing over our great suc
cess; believing our labors will be
as bread cast upon the waters,—
will be gathered mauy days hence
Next Sunday will close our
school for tho year on account of
having uo suitable house which
we greatly regret, for this quarter
has been one of success, though
Satan hurled his darts at us, hut
the good book told us to resist the
devil and ho would floe from us
and we found it so iu our case.
We know that our God is able to
deliver us from the evil ones and
we are going to make an effort to
build a cburcb here m the uesr
future and we will get help from
all the whole viciuity. Then we
can have Sunday School all tho
year round.
