Of the above title. As the title indi-
Gates, the story is written by the "bet-

means remarkable, but he has the
fcwest faults, the manifest virtues,
and the least tact Of any man / ever
saw, knew or heard Of" He plunges
his wife into any number of cmbar-
RAISING situations, without the least
consciousness Of the fact, but through
it all is the same big-hearted, affec-
tionate, manly fellow The book is
bright, sparkling and well adapted to
divert leisure hour. With all his
faults, multitude Of women would
like to accept the precise counterpart
of "That Husband of Mine.o Sent

LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS.


l notice an article in the last issue
of your paper purporting to have been
written at Laurel Point. beg leave,
through the columns of your excellent
paper, to say word concerning that
part Of the gentleman's correspond
ence which has reference to the late
action of the Board of Education of
Grant District in regard to the aver
age certificate which teachers who
hold Normal School diplomas are en-
titled to. From the tenor of the ar
ticle it would seem that the gentle
man is either considerably aggrieved
himself, or has very deep sympathy
for certain Normal graduates who he
fears ifleft to the mercy of the Coun-
ty Board of Examiners would not re
ceive No. ! certificate.
The gentleman not only stulliiies
his intelligence when he asserts that
the Board of Education made "a
great blunder' byl making the grade
Of Normal School diploma the same
as a No. 2 certificate, butsalsol. gives
us fair exponent of hisIacquaintance
with the success Of Normal School
graduates as teachers in Grant Dis
trict, when he says they taught the
best schools in the district: for
among.the failures in Grant District
none have been more signal than
some Of the Normal School graduates.
The school law of West Virginia
makes it the duty Of Boards of Edu-
cation TO fix the grade of Normal
School graduatcs,gand inn carrying
out both the letter and spirit of the
law, the Board of Grant District act
ed wisely in doing as they did. No
district in any county in West Vir-
ginia can boast a more candid, sensi-
bic, and solid Board than Grant Dis
trict. Fully one-half that hold Nor
NAL School diplomas in West Virgin
ia cannot obtain o No 3 certificate.
And in fixing the grade of Normal
School graduates at No 2, tire Board
made fair and very liberal aver age.
We further agree with the action of
the Board, because we know the I'M
prejudiced decision Of many county
superintendent is, that Normal
School graduates as teachers do not
compare fayorably with those teach
ers who hold No. l certificates from
boards Of examiners. If the Normal
School graduates feel deeply aggriev-
ed at the action Of the Board, they
have two alternatives, either go before
the Board of Examiners and receive
the grade they are entitled to, or to
"those many places where their work
is readily demanded"

FArnPLAr.

We had quite a large Sunday
School celebration here on the 9th
inst. Three Sabbath Schools met in
the Donaldson Grove and spent the
day very pleasantly. President Dick
ison, of Zion school, marched his
school to the grove under the stars
and stripes, which were carried by
Capt. Adams. When the three schools
met and a piece chad been sung the
entire audience was called to order
and Rev. Loyther, Of Morgantown,
was introduced who delivered a long
and very interesting address. This
was followed by music, when Rev.
John Satterfeld, of Penna., was call
ed to the stand and made some tell
ing remarks, That strong voice of
his commands attention. He has q
pleasant style of relating incidents
that pleases and instructs the chill
dren. After another piece was sung
dinner was announced.
The white tablecloths glistening in
the grove and covered with goodies
served as first-class appetizers. Eve
ry one present was invited to dine
and all were filed and the proverbial
seven bas kets remained.
Col. Jos. Snider next took the stand.
He is an able speaker; dealt in facts,
speaking exactly what he meant.
This style is admired by your cores
pendent. Let man say just what
he honestly thinks. After another
song, Mr.. James Hare favored the
audience with a speech. Mr.. Hare
pleases the little folks very much and
his speech was liked by the children
of larger growth. The choir again
favored the audience with song and
Rev. L. Warman made the closing

The Fair.

Before we go to press again the
Fair will be in progress. We again
urge the Importance and necessity Of
every one attending the fair and tax
ing an interest in it. This is one Of
the few opportunities that farmers
from all sections of the county have
of meeting and seeing the results Of
each others labor. Here the. best
labor-saving machines are on exhibit
ton and their working qualities test
ed. Here are the products of our
most highly cultivated gardens. Here
the taste of the foriculturist may
be seen. Here are the best efforts Of
our mechanics. BY our comparison
here we correct our faults, sharpen
our ingenuity, goad our sluggishness
and excite to successful enterprise
1t has been truly said that by the
success of a county fair is the status
of a county known. Let no person
have the opportunity Of saying, with
sheer, Monongalia's Fair was not a
success.

CALDER HAYHURsT, one Of the par
ties arraigned at Fairmont last
Spring for the murder of the peddler,
died some time since at his residence
in Calhoun county. A short time be-
fore his death, he sent for a justice of
the peace and made solemn aftlda-
Wit of his innocence and the inno-
cence of his brothers and those
charged with him. He deemed this
declaration necessary to vindicate
the name of his family from the stain
of the accusation brought against
them.

HARVEST HosIE.-The Patrons of
Husbandry have grand celebration
at Laurel Point on Saturday the 22d.
The arrangements are under the man
agement of competent persons and
everything portends grand time.
All are invited to attend. If these
meetings were held more frequent and
parties attending them should en-
deavor to gain something from their
intercourse with each other, its benc-
fits would soon be apparent.

SERIOUS AcCIDENT.-Mr.E Edward j.
Shanks accidentally shot himself at
the residence of his sister, Mrs. p. L.
Youst, near Warrington, on last
Monday, the 10th inst. He had been
out hunting squirrels, and while sit
ting on the banisters of the porch
with his rifle leaning up in his hands
towards his person, it was discharged.
1t is supposed that his foot accident
ly raised the hammer and discharged
it. The ball Of the gun entered the
shoulder and passed through the COL
lar bone breaking it, and making a
very serious wound. He was a MEM

Mr.. j. w. STEVENS, of Laural Point,
has sent us curiosity in the way of
an ear of corn. This specimen is
composed of ten ears, nine of them
being clustered around larger one.
This prolific variety should be propa-
gated. There is no telling what might
be the result Of intelligent expert
ments with something of the kind for
a start. Mr.. Stevens has the 'sboss"
corn of this section, plenty of it
measuring over IA feet.

During the past week several new
students have arrived.
When you ask Senior why he has
gone into retirement, he win more
than probably tell you that he has
been waited upon by member of the
Faculty, and told that all those back
studies must be made up by the end
of the present tenn.
1t is not an uncommon thing to
hear new students from various parts
of the State, express their surprise at
the generosity and hospitable treat
ment of the older students and citi-
zens of Morgantown.
The military department will pre-
sent, this year, more imposing spec
tacle than ever before. The cadet
corps will be full, which under the
instruction of its very efficient COM
mandant, Lieut.. Richmond, will add
not little to the progressive spirit
which now pervades our institution.
A volunteer company has been
formed at Fairmont, Capt Moore act
ing as commandant. He proposes to
bring his boys down next Spring and
show the Cadets how to drill. Ahem;
let them come, say the boys.
Pres. Thompson preached to a
large audience Sunday afternoon in
the University chapel. He spoke from
lst Romans, goth verse. This ele-
CANT and eloquent discourse was the
counterpart of his sermon for week

he has previously closed his heart
against moral truth; that the study
OF the material, however grand, calls
the mind back to the thought, be that

out, which is still grander; that the
tangible suggests the intangible; that
the harmony that exists in nature as
the result of Natures laws, is but so
many manifestations of an Infinite
Power.

STORE RoBBED.-A week or more
ago the hardware store in this place
of Messrs. Stone d Bebout was brok-
en- into and robbed of something be-
tween $3.50 and 5000. The thieves
(for it is thought there was more than
one) carried away revolvers, knives
and in fact sample of everything in
the store of any value. The affair
has been kept very quiet, but at the
same time there has been sharp
lookout for the burglars, who are no
doubt waiting for an opportunity to
pillage other stores Vest Tir.
