Died, April 11, 1912
Mrs Harriett Davy, wife of Edward Davy, deceased, age 59 years, 2 months and 17 days old. Besides a host of friends and other relatives, she leaves to mourn her loss eight children, three of whom are married, Mrs Clara DeMuth, of Keyser; Mrs Anna Biser, of Junction; Mr Wright Davy, of Keyser; Seymour and Henry Davy, of Junction; Mary, Olive and Lulu Davy also of Junction. She was a kind and loving mother. We sympathize with the children at their heavy loss. A Mother is our best friend.
In memory of a friend -
I stood by the beside of a friend,
As her life passed away,
And though how lonely we would be
In the coming day.

But now she has gone, dear friend
All her pain and suffering o'er
She has gone to live in heaven,
On that bright and happy shore.

I thought of the pain and trouble
she would never have to bear;
And I though of how happy she would be
In that sweet home over there.

She is free from all earth's heartaches
From its care and sickening pain.
She has gone to live in heaven,
Where we hope to meet again.

But, O, we'll miss you, dear friend,
When your face we cannot see;
Our heart will ache so often,
And long to be with thee.

But our loved friend has left us,
And from hearth and home has fled;
The watchers left her sad bedside
Saying, "Our friend is dead."

There's an empty chair in her home
That no other can ever fill;
There's a grave in the old church yard
Just across on yonder hill.

There's a vacant seat
Where our friend used to be;
And we miss a face
We never more shall see.

Children, do not call your mother back;
Do not weep or sigh;
Think that your mother has gone children,
To that sweet bye and bye.

Don't fret about her grave, children,
Where she is laid beneath the clayey sod;
Rejoice to know your mother's gone
To meet her Savior and her God.

Meet her, children, meet her
Meet her at heaven's gate
That stands ajar from you so far,
There on you she will wait.

Weep not for her, dear children,
When thou art all alone;
For she is going to join the Angel's Band
Around the great white throne.

Meet her, children, meet her,
Meet her in the land of rest;
Where all is joy for your darling mother,
At rest, at rest, at rest.

The old "Empress" electric theatre, on Main street,opened last Wed evening, under the new managers, Messrs Merryman & Wells, and under the new name, The Pickwick. The managers were highly gratified by the great crowd that greeted them. The hall had undergone a thorough renovating; it has been newly painted and handsomely decorated; windows have been put in on each side, which, with the addition of electric fans, insures thorough ventilation and makes it a pleasure to visit the place. The hall has been so improved as to meet every requirement of the law and the insurance companies for safety and this, together with the fact that of its being on the ground floor, insures absolute safety in every respect. The management has also added to the beauty of the room by installing the "lighted theatre system" of colored lights. All this together with the putting in the finest picture machine made, the Motiograph, makes this an electric theatre equal to any found in the cities. The pictures are as clear as life and only the latest and best will be put before the patrons. The Pickwick has an attractive front, being painted in white and lighted by a profusion of different colored lights. The management guarantee to give the public a show every night second to none and trust that the public will give them the patronage that such a place of genuine amusement, and interest as they will give them merits.

A disastrous (?sic) fire occurred this morning about 4:30 o'clock on Beaver Run near Burlington, wherein Daniel Bailey, a prosperous farmer, loses heavily. Mr Bailey was awakened by a roaring sound which he at first thought was an auto passing, but seeing a light, got up to discover that the barn was afire and that the roof was falling in. All the contents were burned, consisting of four horses, some cows, a few sheep, farming implements, 16 tons of hay, that he had sold yesterday while in town, about $500 worth of grain, besides harness, and etc., the loss is over $4,500.00, with $1.000.00 insurance.

The city authorities are making an effort to have the town thoroughly cleaned up and are succeeding admirably. It should really take little effort, on their part. Property owners and tenants show sufficient pride in the cleanliness and sanitary condition of town to do this work of their own volition. We have the distinction of possessing more miles of paved streets than any town our size in the state.
The campaign now on is bringing many strangers among us. The vast orchard enterprises surrounding the town make it what we might call the Orchardists Mecca and toward it all persons interested in that line of human activity are looking.
The beauty of Keyser and the enterprise of her citizenship has been favorably commented upon by those who have visited us in recent years. We not only want to keep this good impression prevalent, but want to make it stronger and wider. This can be done in no better or surer way than for every house-holder to clean up and beautify his premises in accordance with the laws of health. A good idea would be to designate some day as "Clean Up Day" and see how many people would enter enthusiastically into the spirit of the occasion.

Remaining unclaimed in the post office at Keyser W Va, week ending April 18, 1912.
