Welch - Edwards

  Hon. Richard Adams Welch, of Keyser, and Miss Mary Dorothy Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Edwards of Martinsburg, W. Va., were married at the home of the bride Wednesday evening, August 16, 1911, at seven o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. S. Trump of St. John's Lutheran church.
  The marriage was followed by a brilliant reception, and that evening the happy couple started on an extended bridal tour. On their return, they will reside in Mayor Welch's handsome residence on Welch St., Keyser.
  The groom is a native of Keyser, a distinguished member of the Mineral County Bar and is now serving his seventh consecutive term as mayor of the city of Keyser. The bride is well known here, having taught in the Preparatory Branch of the West Virginia University at this place. She is a beautiful, cultured and charming young lady. She is already very popular with Keyser's social circles and will receive a cordial welcome as a resident of our city.
  The Tribune extends hearty congratulations and wishes for them many happy and prosperous years together.

Race War Feared

  Coatesville, Pa., Aug. 14 - With a troop of State Constabulary coming here from Pottsville at a gallop, with the burgess swearing in private citizens as policy in anticipation of a race rot [sic], with every saloon in the town closed at the earnest request of Robert C. Gawthrop, district attorney of Chester county, and with the report that officials are about to have warrants issued for the arrest of more than 20 members of the Brandywine Volunteer Fire Company, Coatesville is in a ferment tonight following the murder of Policeman Edgar Rice Saturday and the burning at the stake of Zack Walker, his slayer, last night.
  Stanley Howe, the Coatesville policeman who was guarding Walker while he lay in the Coatesville Hospital, from which he was dragged by the infuriated mob and burned to death, is now in Westchester, where he will remain as a material witness to the lynching of Walker.
  He is credited here with having recognized in the crowd of lynchers the men whose names are now in the possession of the district attorney.
  With Howe in Westchester is a negro attendant in the hospital, who knows all the leading residents of Coatesville, and who says he identified in the crowd that stormed the hospital the same men who are named by Howe, as well as several others.

A Serious Wreck

  A mixed train, made up of passenger coaches and freight cars, was wrecked Monday morning at 10 o'clock, on the Virginia & Pittsburg branch of S. & O. abut two miles east of of [sic] Buckhannon.
  Firemen Thomas Timms, of Weston, was killed outright and his body was found beneath the engine, about two hours after the accident occurred.
  The train was running late and was going at fast speed, when the rails spread, causing the engine to be derailed and thrown from the track, followed by five cars being turned over.
  Engineer VanHorn jumped from the engine just in time to save his life, as the engine turned over.
  None of the passengers was injured but they were badly shaken up and frightened. The report went out first that the passengers were hurt but was incorrect. Physicians went to the scene of the wreck, to administer to anyone needing their assistance. The dead fireman, Thomas Timms, was aged about 30. He has a wife and children residing in Weston. The body was taken to his late home.

Exchanged Pulpits

  Last Sunday forenoon Rev. Wheeler, of Piedmont, and Rev. M. H. Keen, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, South, of Keyser, exchanged pulpits. It was a quarterly meeting occasion for both churches and the presiding elder had an engagement elsewhere. Both delighted the congregations with able sermons.

Obituary

  The bonny, blue-eyed, darling, little boy, Andrew Harman Rotruck, passed to the joys beyond August 4, 1911, aged 3 years, __ months and 27 days. How rich the heritage to a home of a life so freighted with truth and trust and love, so full of fun, faith and fervor. The merry moments of such a life ever sparkle like golden sunbeams dancing on the silvery sea of time. The sacred ties formed with the children reach from home to the Heaven, and ministering angels come and go upon them throughout the journey of life.

In Memorium

  Ruth Orpha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, was called to her Heavenly home last Thursday, Aug. 3-1911. With the bereaved parents we weep; but not without hope; for we know if Christ was dead and is now alive so shall we live again in the next world. Ruth was called from her home at the early and tender age of 7 months and 4 days.... The little form, the wreaths of flowers, the hymns that were sung, the words that were said by the kind pastor, the little white clad pall bearers and the tiny grave in the Hamill cemetery all have put a feeling in our hearts that cannot be removed. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are both members of the Christian church and are widely known all over Blaine and Kitzmiller. They give kindness where it is needed and therefore receive kindness in their great sorrow. They have five children in Heaven waiting for them and one son and one daughter still to bless them. Namely, Ira and Georgia. May we all live so as to meet our loved ones there, for we will know that little Ruth is there for she was taken before the shame of sin could snatch her. In that harmonious song that was sung while the Angels were bearing our baby home.... The pall bearers were dressed in pure white and were all sweet little children, making it more touching, they are as follows: Isabel Tibbits, Lila Lemaster, Iva Murray, Leah Garner. Little Ruth was laid to rest to wake in an unending realm of sweet peace and harmony where all is happyness and no sorrow. May God bless you, my dear friends.

Schell

August 8, 1911
  Your old uncle was layed up with a severe attack of grip last week and not able to write, but he is now much better.
  Bruce Roderck is still on his crutches; the wound on his ankle is haling but it is very slow.
  Excepting an epidemic of colds, the health of our community is now good.
  Our farmers are now harvesting their grass; some of which is fairly good and some very light. What few patches of oats that were sown in our neighborhood, have made a good crop but the potato crop is almost an entire failure. We have not seen or smelled a field of buckwheat in all this part of the country, therefore we will have to look elsewhere for material for our cakes this winter. The apple crop is good and the quality extra fine, and in nine years we have not seen so great a prospect for a crop of chestnuts. Berries are scarce here, caused by our farmers destroying nearly all the briars and huckleberries bushes.
  Obed and Wilson Hanlin, of near Gormania, were visiting their brother, Gabe, of this place, last Saturday.
  Bruce Roderick spent several days with friends in Kitzmiller, Md. last week.
  Gabe Hanlin, of Schell, and Steve Dixon, of Elk Garden, were visiting their uncle, Gabe Kitzmiller, near Wabash, last Sunday.
  A few days ago it so happened that Rev. and Mrs. Eubank, of our place, and Rev. and Mrs. Messick, of Elk Garden, came on the same day, to pay a visit to ye scribe and family. We spent a very enjoyable day in social conversation and evening came all too soon when good-byes had to be said. Come again friends.
  Charley Mosser, Ran Cosner's sawyer [sic?], moved his family from Schell last Monday, to their new set near Gerstell. Mr. Cosner will follow in a few days. The Keesener's have shut down at their mill near here, and are taking their summer vacations. The whole force is now in the huckleberry woods north of Oakland.
Uncle John

Mt. Storm Items

  Again the death angel has visited our community, casting a dark shadow over another home. It was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Hawk, who was transplanted from the garden of earth to that garden where the flowers bloom perpetually. The dear little girl had lived on earth less than three years. The afflicted parents have the sympathy of the whole neighborhood.
  Miss Maggie Idleman seems to be getting rather worse all the time; every few days some new complication arises. Dr. Drinkwater was called in consultation with Dr. Scott last Saturday. They report her condition very serious, but hopeful.
  Mr. Edward King, of Bruceton Mills, is here on a visit to his former teacher, Jas. J. Idleman.
  Mr. G. P. Schaeffer, of Bayard, is here making hay this week.
  Miss Mabel Neville came over last Monday for a few day's visit. She is helping to take care of her aunt, Miss Maggie Idleman. Miss Mabel informs us that her brother, Ervin, who was operated on at Johns Hopkins Hospital last spring, is destined to be a life long cripple. The limb upon which the operation was performed is about two and one-half inches shorter than the other limb.
  Mr. Sanford Whipp is here today, Wednesday, looking after the cattle business. Mr. Whipp says he finds but few cattle that are fat.
  The "Boy Scout" says "The people are making a charitable job of Mr. Aronhalt's harvest." Here are the facts in the case: Mr. Aronholt [sic?] personally managed his hay harvest, employing such help as he saw fit, but paying for it in every instance. When his oats came ripe, Mr. Aronhalt was confined to his bed, unable to get out to look after anything. As his crop was worth several hundred dollars, and might easily be partly or wholly lost, F. O. and Jas. J. Idleman agreed to see that it was cut. The latter took charge of the job and as there was no self-binder available, he employed all the help he could get. The neighbors responded nobly and the oats were saved just in the nich of time. Mr. Idleman was authorized and prepared to pay the men as they labored, which thing he did in most instances, paying each man whatever he saw fit to charge. The charge varied from one dollar and twenty-five cents to one dollar and seventy-five cents for a day of eight to ten hours. Mr. Aronhalt had no thought of making it a "charitable job," but very much appreciates the kindness of his neighbors, some of whom left their own harvest to help in time of need. Any one who has not yet received his pay can get it any day by presenting his claim to Mr. Aronhalt.

Sears - Adams

  Mr. Frank Sears and Miss Nellie Adams, of Keyser, were married by Rev. J. H. Brunk, at the United Brethren Parsonage, Aug. 16, 1911. They are both popular young people and have the best wishes of their many friends.

Death of An Infant

  Freda J. Smith, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith, died at their home on Gilmore St., Keyser, W. Va. Aug. 14, 1911. She was only nine weeks old when the death angel came so unexpectedly and called her to her home in heaven. Her body was laid to rest in Queen's Point Cemetery. Services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Brunk, pastor of the United Brethren church. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of their many friends.

Hartmonsville

  Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Fout, of Purgitsville, recently paid their friends a visit here.
  Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Frederick, of Moorefield, passed through our village last Sunday.
  Mr. Henry Chamberlain, wife and daughter, of Antioch, visited relatives at Emoryville last week.
  Mr. E. A. Ludwick sold a fine horse to John Matthews, of Emoryville, for $240. Jim is without a driving horse.
  Mr. Jas A. Parrill (Farrill?), of Keyser, who was here in the interest of The International Harvester Co. recently. He didn't say whether that black snake was dead or not and so we infer it is busy swallowing the rabbit.
  Two interesting games of baseball were played last Saturday.
  The first game was between the Napoleons, of Emoryville, and the Wellingtons, of Wabash.
  Much interest was manifested in this game, especially by the ladies, and if the Napoleons had played as well as they applauded, their team would not have gone down in defeat by a score 21 to 13 in favor of the Wellingtons.
  The second game was on the same diamond between the Wellingtons and the Laurel Dale True Blues. It was evident from the first that The True Blues were certain of defeat and so after spirited contest, the Wellingtons won the score standing 25 to 16 in their favor.
  The contest was fair, and we think that The True Blues have nothing to discourage them.
  Boys, if you ever come back, and we hope you will, remember that the Wellingtons can play ball.
  Mr. J. B. Nash, the Sang Man, up some time last Sunday night and has as successfully disappeared as if the earth had swallowed him. At the yard gate, his knife and one sock were found. No one seems to have any idea of where he is and can give no account of his strange disappearance. He was at a neighbor's house on Sunday evening but did not say anything about going away, and his manner of acting was that of a man who had the right use of his mental faculties.
  He was a kind neighbor, and had the good will of almost every one. The latest news, by phone this morning, Wednesday, at 9 o'clock, was that nothing had been heard from him.

Obituary

  The bonny, blue-eyed darling little boy, Andrew Harman Rotruck, passed to the joys beyond August 4, 1911, aged 3 years, 7(?) months and 27 days. How rich the heritage to a home of a life so freighted with truth and trust and love, so full of fun, faith and fervor. Ther merry moments of such a life ever sparkle like golden sunbeams dancing on the silver seat of time. The sacred ties formed with the children reach from home to the Heaven, and ministering angels come and go upon them throughout the journey of life. But the Lord has recognized the little ones as his earthly jewels. They are His heritage and to Him they belong. He always greets them at their coming with His loving, welcoming smiles, and He ever is saying, "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
  The deceased was an only son of Joseph and Elizabeth Rortruck, of Keyser. Three daughters survive. The cause of sickness was not understood by the physicians. The funeral was conducted at the home on Water street on Saturday at 2 p.m. by G. S. Arnold. Interment in the Leatherman grave yard.

FERTILIZER. Wheat responds to fertilizer better than almost any other crop. The experiment station for 25 years has averaged 28 bushels to the acre with the average gain due to the fertilizer of 11 1/2 bushels per acre, with the average cost per acre for fertilizer $3.67. Now does not this look like it would pay to raise wheat? Try our Crop Grower. It contains 5 per cent of potash. This makes wheat and grass. It must grow. Try it.
