CAPITOL BoNDs.-The bonds isued
by the city to provide for the
construction Of the Capitol, went
of like hot cakes. They were taken as
follows: Judge Brown of Morgantown,
$4,000 at 10l Il The Exchange Bank OF
this city, $4,000 at 1919; The Bank of
Wheeling, $4,000 at 1Ol!; The National
Bank of Kingwook, preston county
$1,000 ut 1917. The rapidity with which
whey were sold, speaks highly for the
credit of the city. The bids for them
were veryanumerous, and very few were
at par, nearly all being at premium.
In the aggregate they amounted to about
100000, and that amount Of city indebt-
edness could readily have been disposed
of to advantage.

THE CENTRAL's PASSENGER DE.
DOT

There is loud complaint here, and
among the travelling public, about the
wretched accom- modations afforded by
the hepassenger depot Of the Houston and
Texas Central railway at this point
The present building does not afford
the public that protection from the
weather the depot Of 80 important a
town as this should, and SO prosperous
a company as the Central might afford.
The depot is the usual California boxed
house, with projecting roof, which is
hardly suitable for freight, much less
a passenger depot. There are none of
those conveniences attached to it that
the depot of first class road should
have. Passengers detained in it, suf-
fer for the want of them, and come as
near freezing as large number of peo-
pie huddled about small stove, can.
Thespecial attention of the company is
called to this matter, not in spirit of
complaint, but with.a view of remedy
ing an evil. The Central should either
build handsome depot where the
present one is, or nearer to business,
or, arrange for union depot in the
city with the Texas and Pacific railway.
These views and facts are the result of
opinions entertained and expressed
here by railway and business men both.
We are satisfied that it will be only
necessary to call the attention of the
company to the need here of better
passenger depot to properly accommo-
date the public, for its officers to give
the necessary directions to make a
change for the better.

"NO backbone"
TNan ynrlr Trth,,na I

There is certain class of men and
women to whom it is folly to preach
reform or independent action Of any
sort. They are born without backbone
they are of the vermicular kind. 1t
is Just as impossible for them to stand
erect on certainty of right aud to
brave public opinion as for an earth
worm to take to itself legs and walk.
All that can be hoped for them is that
when the road is well travelled and
popular, they will wriggle along it in
masses. it Is not assuredly these peo-
pie who will hold society on its present
prudent, common sense basis. Women
with womanly selI-respect and intelli-
gence in town know that they stand
in no need of Worth dresses, of
florists and caterers with bills running
up to the thousands, to enable them
to discharge their social obligations
with grace aud effect: two or three
women in village can dare to say 81
cannot afford this Dr that" But what
of the women who know their social
success depends on the cost of their
dinners or of their admission to a GER
tain set? What of the village bellies
whose lives are spent in a terror of
alarm lest their hats should not be
trimmed after the latest New York
style, or who write to the fashion pa
pers agonizing appeals to know what
to do with their last years grenadine?
They act after eirimpotent kind and
will follow some leader to the end.
But they are the minority.
