This Remarkable Quintette, Whose Combined Ages Exceed 400 Years, Are Still Active Sons of West Virginia Their Records Are Shining Examples of Patriotic and Serviceable Citizenship to Our Younger Generation These Distinguished Citizens Have Been Invited to Be Guests of the Semi-Centennial Commission In Wheeling On June 20, State Day, of the Golden Jubilee Week This is a blank page with no text or images. Alpheus Garrison was born in Green county, Pennsylvania, February 26, 1833; moved to Guernsey county, Ohio, in 1836; in 1842 moved to Monomont county, Virginia, now West Virginia, where he still resides. Mr. Garrison was married to Charlotte Henderson in 1853. In 1856 he was elected constable and served the term; in 1859 was appointed deputy sheriff and served until May, 1861, when he resigned and was appointed a delegate to the Wheeling convention. He was appointed recruiting agent for soldiers and deputy provost marshal until 1864. He joined the Union army as 2d lieutenant and later was promoted to captain of Company E. 17th W. Va. Infantry. He served until June 26, 1865, and returned home in 1866. He was appointed assessor to fill a vacancy and in 1866 was elected assessor; in 1868 he was elected to the legislature and served the winter of 1869 in Wheeling, Wa. Va.; in 1870 was elected sheriff of the county and in 1890 was elected to the state senate from the Eleventh Senatorial district and served in Charleston, V. Va., 1891 and 1893. Since that time Mr. Garrison has lived on his farm. He has been a member of the Christian church for more than 52 years and is a prominent Mason. He is now in his 81st year, well preserved, active and keenly interested in the current events of the day. GEORGE ROBERT LATHAM George Robert Lathana was born in Prince William county, Virginia, in sight of the Bull Run battle ground, March 9, 1832, and was reared on a farm. In November, 1839, his father moved his family into Western Virginia and settled in Taylor county. In January, 1850, Mr. Latham had a severe attack of pleurisy followed by general prostration, from which he was totally disabled for farm work for three years. In 1852, having partially regained his health, he taught partially in Taylor and Barbour counties, Virginia, until the winter of 1859. From 1855 to 1861 he was a citizen of Grafton, where he was married on December 24, 1857, to Caroline A. Thayer, then of Monongalia county, Virginia. While teaching school he studied law and during the last week of the year 1850 was examined and admitted to the bar, opening his first law office in Grafton. About the time of the presidential nominations for 1860 he published a campaign paper called the "Western Virginia." About two weeks before the election, Mr. Latham lobbed a large United States flag over his law office and turned it into a recruiting office. By the 29th of May he had a full company enrolled, which afterwards became Company B, and was the first Union company recruited in the interior of the state. The latter part of June Capt. Latham was ordered with his company to Grafton, where he met Gen. McClellan and assisted him in preparing his West Virginia campaign. The company was then assigned to Gen. Morris' command at Philippi and took part in the campaign to Carrick's Ford Capt. Latham and his company were lost at Boultington to protect the line of transportation. From this time on until his muster out in March, 1865, his history is incorporated with that of the regiment. Toward the close of his service, Secretary of War Stanton nominated Col. Latham as brevet brigade general, after a thorough investigation of his record, thus placing upon his gallant officer one of the proudest honors of his life. In the fall of 1864 Col. Latham was elected a member of the Thirty-ninth Congress for the Second district of West Virginia, and served on the committees of printing and of public buildings and grounds. On account of failing health he declined to be a candidate for nomination and was appointed as United States Consul at Melbourne, Australia, by President Johnson, serving three years, returning in 1870, since which time Col. Latham has retired mostly from public life. About 1875 he was elected and served a term of two years as superintendent of public schools of Upshur county, West Virginia, and in 1880 was appointed by President Hayes as Supervisor of Census for the First Census district of West Virginia'. He is now in his 821 year, though still taking a lively interest in the current events of the day. JOHN J. DAVIS. John L. Davis AL. Bens Garrison John J. Davis was born at Clarksville on the 5th day of May, 1835, and has lived there all his life. Studied law under Hon. Geo. H. Lee and then appointed the law school of Hon. John W. Trockenbrough at Lexington, Virginia, for two years. Was examined for license by Judge Lucas P. Thompson, of Stratton, and Hon. Geo. H. Lee and G. G. D. Cumbon, both of Clarksville; has been practicing at the bar for 57 years. Mr. Davis was elected a member of the Virginia legislature in 1861, which was to have met in Richmond the following December, but the war broke out and when the government of Virginia was recorgized he went to Wheeling as a member of the first legislature under that government; was again elected in 1864 a member of the West Virginia legislature; was also a delegate to the first convention which met in Wheeling in May, 1861, that led up to the subsequent formation of the new state of West Virginia. Mr. Davis served in Congress during its 12d and 13d sessions. He was the first democrat to be elected from the first Congressional district of West Virginia after the war. Hon. Nathan Geff being his opponent in his first campaign, and the late Benjamin Wilson his opponent in his second campaign. Received the appointment of visitor to West Point by the late President Cleveland; was a member of the Board of Directors of Hospital for Insane at Weston by appointment of the late Gov. J. B. Jackson and served until the latter was succeeded by a Republican Governor. W. L. GRANT. M. D. Dr. W. L. Grant was born on July 23, 1822, in Harrison county, then the State of Virginia. After securing his education in the local schools, he attended the Jefferson Medical College, from which he graduated in the year 1857. After graduating in medicine, he located at Jane Lew, in Lewis county, for the practice of his profession. While located there, he was chosen a delegate to the convention looking towards the separation of this State from Virginia, in 1862 he was commissioned a surgeon of the 9th West Virginia Regiment. In the year 1874 he moved to Graffen to practice his profession, where The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

DAY Sketch of the Secretary of the West Virginia Semi Centennial Col. John E. Day, Secretary of the West Virginia Semi-Centennial Commission, is the person that made the first practical suggestion for a celebration commemorating the state's fifteenth anniversary. He is sometimes referred to as the "Daddy" of the Golden Jubilee. Mr. Day was born in Wheeling, and educated in the public schools and West Virginia University. Employed in Wheeling postoffice from 1873-1876; city editor Wheeling Evening Standard, 1877-1879; news editor Daily intelligenceer, 1879-1899; editor, 1899-1904.

Granadus of Elligah Ivy, a pioneer settler of Oroico county, who served as assessor of interest revenue, and was prominent in the reduction of the State of West Virginia. Served as city assessor and city treasurer (longest service on record). Memorial he responds continually. Owing to his advanced age, it will be impossible for him to attend a reunion of the surviving members of the convention which gave birth to our State, but he shall greet them with joy and good will in spirit. WILLIAM THOMAS BROWN William Thomas Brown, son of Elizabeth and Thomas Brown, was born near Gladesville, Preston county, West Virginia. He removed at an early age to Kingwood, county seat of same county, where he learned the carpenter's trade. He suddenly espoused the cause of the Union through in a section hostile to such sentiment. He was chosen as one of the delegates to the memorable convention at Wheeling, W. Va., which had made to do with the formation of the state of West Virginia. Mr. Brown, just prior to this time, was when he the lone light, owing to the fact that he used his custody the grain, such to be second by Governor Willem during the reunion John F. Brown said. He did have his duty in this regard with credit to him himself and all concerned. While completing arrangements to join the Union forces during this same year he was sricken down with illness from exposure, which caused a period of more than a year. In 1882 he entered the employ of the Bailiff more and Ohio Railway Company as a bridge builder and reporter, which position he held for thirty-nine years, retiring on a pension. While operating the work of bridge construction at Bridgeport, Harrison county, W. Va., April 30, he was captured by Confederate forces and taken to Richmond, Va., where he was confined for six months in Castle Thunder. Later, he was transferred to Balsbury Prison, N. C., arriving there on or about October 27 of the same year. On October 20, 1863, he was released on parole as a disloyal citizen of Virginia and experienced difficulty in securing regulation transportation to Richmond. M. John E. Day, of Wheeling, W. Va.

She says further: "Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good."

NEW UPRISING IN CHINESE REPUBLIC Accuse President of Aspiring to Be Dictator. Yuan Shih Kai Aware of Possible Outcome and Moves Troops to Strategic Points—Mandates Issued With Menace Couched in Classical Tones. Peking—President Yuan Shih Kai has been driven almost into a corner by a concatenation of circumstances which has given to his opponents what they declare to be justification for all their suspicions that he would at some period or other endeavor to dominate in the councils of the nation if not to become dictator or emperor. The murder of Sung Chiao Jon at Shanghai and the signing of the quintuple loan without the authorization of parliament have been seized upon to revive the president and declare him unfit to occupy the high post which many believe he alone can properly fill. To such a white heat has public ojon got that another revolution is free ```markdown ``` ly talked of, and every effort possible has been made to prevent the quintuple loan from being consummated. In Shanghai the secrest censure is being passed upon the president and the cabinet, and so reckless is the language being used that the municipal authorities in that port recently were compelled to take notice of it and issue an order threatening to arrest and try any editor, publisher, reporter or printer guilty of unrestrained expression of opinion. Yuan Shih Kai regarded the outburst with apparent indifference for some time, but of late he has been moving troops to strategic points and in other ways has indicated that he is alive to the probabilities if he does not show his hand and indicate his intentions. The opposition is coming almost solely from the Kuo Miatang, and, while it seems that they have considerable cause for complaint that republican principles are not being carried out as they should be, they have in a sense spoiled their case by the unrestrained abutilions of their publicists in Shanghai. Proceeding upon constitutional lines, the Kuo Miatang may have compelled a hearing of their claims, but the attitude adopted by the newspaper they publish in English in Shanghai has alienated most foreign sympathy and has rendered it difficult for the leaders to carry on the campaign they inaugurated. This newspaper has proved fatal to the party. Other newspapers published in Chinese have followed suit, and the result has been the stirring of the people to such an extent that a second revolution is believed to be on the trips. At all events the president is preparing for one, and, in addition to moving troops, he has issued mandates which are intended to indicate what his intentions are. On May 2 he issued two. In the first he describes how the country has just passed through revolution, how "many more followers of the righteous cause" took advantage of the name of revolution "to extort and injure law abiding people" and how "the constitutional spirit of the country has not yet soundly recovered." He recalls how he has pardoned offenders who have been guilty of con Saved Girl's Life "I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have received from the use of Thedford's Black-Draught," writes Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. "It certainly has no equal for la gripe, bad colds, liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles, they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford's Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no more trouble. I shall never be without THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT in my home." For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizziness, malaria, chills and fever, billiousness, and all similar ailments, Thedford's Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black-Draught. It is a medicine of known merit. Seventy-five years of splendid success proves its value. Good for young and old. For sale everywhere.

In the second mandate morality is described as the foundation of republican government and law the limit, and from that the president goes on to refer to the murder of Sung Chiaolen and the signing of the loan. The former he states offers no excuse to spect the premier, and, as for the latter it was competent for the governor to sign the loan agreement, the national council having passed it. TABLOID BCOZE IS SERVED IN MARNE One May Carry Whisky or Beer In Vest Pocket. Bangor, Me.—A Maine sheriff might find a barrel of beer or even a jig of whisky, but he can't find a beer bounce or a cocktail tablet, and over that good fact the thirsty of this state are rejoicing now. For the tabloid booze drummer has come to Maine and is doing a rushing, business in condensed drinks of all kinds, from plain whisky to cocktails and from beer to gin fizzes. The drummer carries a considerable stock of the tablets with him for immediate demands and arranges for further and unlimited supplies by mail. Many bars in Bangor, Lewiston and Portland are selling tabloid drinks, while a great many men who just must have their whisky or beer when they want it have obtained their own supplies and make their liquor at home while they wait, and the wait is not long. Nobody here knows anything about the constituent elements of the tablets, but nobody cares so long as they produce something that looks and tastes like liquor. The tablets come in little paper boxes or glass bottles of a dozen each, and the price varies. A small phial of one kind of tablets, costing 13 cents, dissolved in a gallon of water, with other ingredients costing 50 cents, makes a gallon of what passes for whisky—total cost, 63 cents. It is not whisky that would appeal to a connoisseur, for it burns and bites all the way down, but is as near to whisky as a good many people are able to get in some parts of Maine, and it "goes." WHISTLING CAT HAS HARELIP. Animal Never Has Mewed, but Is Musical Prodigy. Springfield, Mass.—Stanislaus Czynszky of Prospect avenue, West Springfield, is the owner of a cat with a hardip, which whistles with the facility of a schoolboy, but cannot mew or, at least, never has mewed. Czynszky is inclined to believe that no animal in its normal state of mind would whistle, but is bouth to do away with the cat, which, he says, attracts more attention than any other member of the family and is regarded as a musical prodigy. Neighbors have suggested that the cat would prove a treasure to a maker of catgut violin strings. Hen Lays Tiniest of Eggs. Vancouver.
