Pleasant Trip to Elkins, W. Va.
Last Thursday evening we took a
sudden notion to visit Elkins, W. Va,
a place we have long desired to see,
and we believe a short account of our
journey and things incident thereto
will prove of interest to many of our
readers.
We boarded the eastbound train at
4:58 p. m. at Meyersdale and arrived
in Cumberland, Md., about an hour
and a half later. After partaking of a
good supper at Dan & Bill's restaurant,
we visited our friend John J. Stump,
who is located on Bedford street, where
he owns and conducts_a large whole-
sale liquor house. ‘we are much pleas-
ed to note that Mr. Stump. although
yet a young man, has got to be one of
the city’s prominent and substantial
business men. He is also quite promi-
nent in the politics of the city and is

now, or at least has been, a member of
the City Councll. Although engaged
in the liquor traffic, Mr. Stump is nev-
ertheless held in high esteem in the
city as a man of rugged honesty and
one who possesses many admirable
traits of character. He is a genial,
generous fellow, as well as a man of
tact and energy. We first learned to
know John J. Stump away back in 1883,
when he was a little red-headed “kid-
let” not much bigger than a minute.
At that time he was living with his
widowed mother in the little hamlet of
Oldtown, Md. During the falland win-
ter of that year he used to row us
across the Potomac while we were in
that vicinity selling maps and oil paint-
ings. He had a little boat that enabled
him to earn a good many nickles by
taking people across the river to the

Stump and his boat were considered
quite useful. He used to do many er-
rands for the people, and they all
would testify to his reliability and up-
Mountains to excel it for grandeur.
We arrived at Elkins at 12 o'clock
m., and soon came across our portly
and good-looking friend Lew S. Keim,
who is located in Elkins, as are also
his brothers George and William. We
spent the afternoon and evening of the
4th with Will and Lew, who showed us
an exceedingly nice time. George was
not at home, hence we did not get to
see him, which we greatly regretted.
The Keim boys are all doing exceed-
ingly well in Elkins. George and Lew
are conducting a prosperous real estate
and life insurance business, and Will
is cashier of the Randolph County
Bank. The boys are very prominent
and popular in the business and politi-
cal affairs of the town and county, and
it is due largely to young and energetic
men of their class that Elkins is forg-
ing ahead by rapid strides.
There is at least one other “Frosty
Son of Thunder” in Elkins besides the
Keim boys, and that is Charles Weim-
er, a nephew of our fellow townsman,
Casper Wahl. Mr. Weimer, while
working at a lumber camp, some years
ago, met with an accident by which he
was crippled for life. He then learned
the barber trade and located in Elkins
probably ten years ago. His first bar- |
ber chair was presented to him by our
own R. B. Sheppard, and Charles start-
ed in business on a very cheap and
small scale. But you ought to see that
fellow’s business now. He conducts
one of the finest tonsorial parlors to
be found anywhere. He is located in
a fine brick block that he built and
owned until a few weeks ago, when he
sold it for $5,500 cash. He also owns a
$3,600 residence, we are told. He has
an eight-chair shop and is busy with a
good force of workmen right along.
Mr. Weimer is a most genial and
worthy man, and he has demonstrated
what can be accomplished by sticking
to business and adhering to temperate
and correct habits.
Miss Aleda Alexander, of ‘Vest Salis-
bury, is also located in Elkins, where
shé is employed as stenographer by a
prominent business house. She de-
serves to be congratulated for her
ability and the position she holds.
More power to her; she is a first class
girl and as pretty as a peach.
Elkins is a town of nearly 3,000 in-
habitants, full of hustle and enterprise,
and growing rapidly. It is now the
county-seat of Randolph county, the
seat of the county government having
been recently moved from Beverly to
larger and more progressive Elkins.
We returned home on Saturday,com-
ing via Belington, Grafton, Fairmont
and Morgantown, W. Va., and Union-
town and Connellsville, Pa. We no-
ticed that Fairmont and Morgantown
are having a phenomenal growth, and
we will conclude by advising you to
keep your eye on that little state of
West Virginia. It is fabulously rich
in coal, timber and oil, and within 25
years it will likely be the wealthiest
state in the Union, area considered.
Its vast mineral and timber wealth is
just beginning to be developed in ear-
nest, and no state can offer better in-
ducements for profitable investment
than ean the little mountainous state
of West Virginia.

A prominent preacher and the or-
Salisbury is about the only town we
know of where it was ever possible for
a common sot to be employed as a
school teacher, but we hardly think our
present board will be guilty of know-
ingly committing such a crime against
our schools and the community. Tam
Srar will give notice right here that if
any more sots whose drunken records
are well known to the directors, are
| employed in the schools of this bor-
ough, as has been done in years past, °
the directors so offending will be call-
ed into court. Some professing Chris-
tian people in this town have lied at
various times to secure employment
for unworthy teachers,and they may de
so again. People held their noses and
kicked om the quiet, but not one offer-
ed to make any troble for the directors
who had knowingly and willfully vio-
lated their most sacred and oath-bound
duty. From this time forward things
must go differently, and if another sot
is hired to preside over our schools or
‘any portion of them, we know one man
who will not be too big a moral coward
to have the school board arraigned be-
fore our county court. There is a way
of making school directors do their
duty, but as our school board stands at
present, we think none but worthy
teachers, such as the law requires, will
be employed.

The Kind of Heaven in Store for

The following poem from the St.
Joseph Gazette tells what kind of a
heaven is in store for Sunday Chris-
tians. It should be read with profit by
a goodly number of Sunday Christians
right here in Salisbury, and while they
are reading it, they should not forget
that they will be extremely lucky if
they are permitted to spend even one
day in seven on that beautiful shore.

in solemn conclave and declared the

seen by examining Justice Bakers
docket. Yet, the church council and

enough to denounce these affidavits as
