  BURLINGTON NEWS

  On Wed of this week the annual picnic and tournament was held at Oak Grove, near Headsville. the rain in the morning kept a number from attending who would otherwise have ben there, which left the crowd small, but very select. After partaking of the usual picnic repast consisting of deviled eggs, ham sandwiches covered with red ants, and cold pressed chicken and flies, the crowd went to their several conveyances to fight wood ticks, try to keep cool and watch the riding. Knighthood was in full bloom and didn't seem to have been hurt by the cool summer. About the time the gloaming began to gloam, someone "lowed" it would rain. It did rain a little shower, just enough to settle the dust if the dust had been about eighteen inches deep. No one got very wet in F M Brown's barn, but the two gentlemen who rode horseback from Keyser got their bridles wet, so I hear. After scattering chicken bones all over Brown's yard, and greasing their porch from one end to the other with peanut butter, the crowd left for a dryer community, which they didn't find.

MAYSVILLE
  Sept 11 - Perhaps the most skillful and enterprising of our amateur flower gardeners is Mrs Susan Smith, who assisted by her daughter, Mrs Angie Hesse, keeps every year, such a fine floral display at her cozy residence at the western entrance of Maysville Gap. It will amply pay every lover of nature's beauties to inspect it. Just at present the Night-blooming Oereus is attracting attention there and winning admiration by the richness of its coloring. One of the many natural curiosities in said Gap in about the center of it is the White Sulphur Spring, situated on the right bank of the creek. The little town of Laurelton, which used to exist there, has almost gone out of existence and of its buildings, only the last double loghouse, once the residence of L C Barbee, remains. The general neglect is also seen in said spring, it being left without care, and subject to the overflow of said creek. Nevertheless, it is still used and appreciated for its wholesome quality. We have heard of notable cures effected by the use of its water. The property now belongs to the US Leather Company of New York. Here will be a chance for an enterprising physician to establish a health resort, provided the property could be acquired for its real value. All the conditions of ?salubrions air and attractive surroundings would be there, but it would take a great outlay of capital to make something out of the place.

  Yes, Bro Lodi, we were award that the Davis C & C Co, were opening a seam of coat at or near Hubbard, but as we are not reporting for that place we didn't mention it in our items. Do you see the "pint"?
  Last Sat the writer spent a portion of the day in Gormania and leaving more time on our hands than we consumed in other business we took a look over the place and made some inquiries concerning the business of the town. We find it a beautiful and prosperous little town of some three hundred or more inhabitants. It is situated on the W M R R at a point where the N W turnpike crosses the Potomac; and is in the county of Grant. The most important industry of the placed is the large tannery of J C Hoffman & Sons Co. This concern employs from 75 to 80 hands and works about 35 hides per day. The town also has three taverns, all of which are doing a good business (all dry). There are three general merchandise stores, besides several smaller shops, on the rush, the commodious school house, three churches, a postoffice which does a large business for a place of its size, as it handles a large quantity of mail for the surrounding country, besides being a distributing office where the mail for several offices in the corresponding counties ?......bank.. Maysville, president; M A ..of Piedmont, Vice President, and Mr Kirk of Gormania, cashier, opened its doors for business on the 3rd day of lst May and has done a prosperous and growing business all the same since. The foundation is now complete and brick is being placed on the ground for a new bank building, which, when completed, will be a commodious and up to date structure and quite an ornament to the town. There is a much greater amount of business done here than is usually done in a place of its size, as nearly all the business of the two towns (this place and Gorman on the Md side) is done in Gormania. Gorman has about 100 inhabitants with no business in it except the depot, and I am sorry to say, one saloon, which is pretty well patronized. This place is easy in access by good roads, leading out into the country in nearly all directions, therefore you find it crowded every day with teams, bringing in lumber, props, bark, telegraph poles and other "stuff" and loading back with supplies for their families, lumber camps and goods for country store.

DEATHS

JAMES A SHARPLESS MET SUDDEN DEATH

  Mr James A Sharpless, one of the most prominent residents of Keyser, met a violent death on last Sun evening, Sept 15th, 1907, between five and six o'clock.
  Early in the afternoon, Mr Sharpless started fro an automobile ride with his friend, H G Steorts, accompanied by Mr Steort's son, who was running the machine, and young ?Oliver, who occupied the front seat beside him. They went around by way of Ridgeville and Burlington, down the creek to Headsville, and across by way of the Fountain, stopping on the way several times with friends and were enjoying the trip immensely until coming down Knobley mountain, when the terrible accident occurred. In descending the steep road just beyond the Alkire orchard, the machine had gained a terrific speed, and when Mr Steorts told his son to check his speed, he replied that the brake refused to work. Just then , they shot around the sharp curve and Mr Sharpless' hat blew off and he raised up, remarking that his hat was gone and he was going to get out. Mr Steorts told him to sit still and seeing him sit down, raised up to assist the boy in getting control of the machine, and just glanced around in time to see the unfortunate man strike the ground. Mr Sharpless, no doubt thinking that the auto was running away, opened the rear door of the car and stepped out, and was instantly whirled over, striking the ground on his back and head with terrible force, and turning on his side laid motionless. the automobile was stopped (not able to read next line) his son on to town after a doctor. Just then, Miss Emalie Coffroth and a friend came along in a buggy and Mr Sharpless was put into the buggy and brought home. On reaching home he was unconscious and remained so until about nine o'clock, when he died. Besides other injuries, he had a frightful gash in the back of his head, caused by coming in contact with a stone.
  The terrible calamity caused general sorrow throughout the country, as the deceased was a highly esteemed citizen, who was well known throughout the county and enjoyed the respect of all who knew him. He was 64 years of age and lived his whole life in this county.
  Mr Sharpless was born and reared on a farm near Elk Garden, where he has a large connection. He was a man of ? and business capacity, and held many positions of trust and honor and has always since reaching his majority, been an active participant in the affairs of his country. After having completed his education in the country school at home he graduated from the Fairmont Normai School in 1873, after which he taught the Piedmont graded school eight years, during which time he was elected to the office of the County Superintendent of Schools, and served that capacity faithfully and well for three terms. He served as deputy sheriff under Capt J W Vandiver, and was employed in the Keyser Bank, now the First National, for a number of years, in which institution he had been a stockholder and director since its foundation. For a number of terms Mr Sharpless served as a member of the town council of Keyser, and at the time of his death was serving his third consecutive term as town sergeant, which duties included the collecting of the taxes and the treasurership. Besides these duties he was engaged in the fire insurance business and looked after his grazing farm on the Allegheny, as well as other private affairs. He has also been administrator in numerous estates and guardian for minor heirs. Thus, it will be seen that his life has been one of honor, trust and usefulness among his fellow citizens - the people who knew him best. MR Sharpless took up his residence in Keyser in 1881, and has since been identified with her interests. He was always found on the side of right (not able to read next line) of good government and the ? of righteousness. He had been a prominent of the Methodist Episcopal church for years, and as his pastor said in his eloquent discourse, he was God's friend. Mr Sharpless was an honored member of the board of stewards of his church and also a member of the board of trustees. He belonged to Davis Lodge No 51, A F & A M, which had charge of the funeral; was also a member of New Creek Council NO 241, National Union of Keyser, many of whom attended the funeral in a body. The Council at a meeting Mon appointed a committee to draft resolutions to draft resolutions on the brother, he having been one of the charter members of this Council.
  Funeral services were held at the M E church at 2 o'clock on Tues afternoon, and was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in the town. The services were conducted by the pastor the Rev F H Havenner, assisted by Rev A M Cackley, D D of the M E church, South, and Rev Mr Gray, of Elk Garden. The choir beautifully sang three favorite hymns of the deceased ' "Nearer My God to Thee", followed by "Shall we Meet Beyond the River," and closing with "God Be With You Till we Meet Again." Interment took place in Queen's Point cemetery. The pall-bearers were Masons, viz: A W Coffroth, J F Dixon, D T Greenwade, J T Carskadon, J Z Terrell and Geo W Parsons. The honorary pall-bearers were from the official boards or the church, viz: J D Gelwicks, Conrad Fisher, Floyd Knight, Edward Hall, and R W Nine.
  The floral offerings were beautiful and appropriate, one from the National Union, being a sheaf and sycle, and the Masonic Lodge presented a handsome emblem, besides other beautiful offerings.
  Mr Sharpless leaves a widow and four daughters and one son, all grown and residing at home, viz: Jesse, Misses Nettie, Ella, Lola and Catharine, who have the sympathy of the community in their irreparable loss.

The Court was of the opinion that he should be adequately punished for his crime and thereupon, imposed a sentence of five years in the penitentiary.
  Graham thanked the Judge for his consideration. Parkersburg Sentinel? of the 14th.
