At the request of several Of our
friends we give a programme of the
concert given by Taylor Martin and
his class in Kingwood one evening

NJ. Crane and f. b. Store first and

................ Gathering Home. y
Mr. John Craze presided, at the or
gan during the singing.
Prof. Martin sings well, and he
sustained the difficult solo in the
HRain drop chorus" admirably--so
well indeed was the piece sung, that
it was repeated by request. Three
Rumble Bees is an unique piece. in
which the peculiar "bumbling," buz-
ling noises of the humble bee are inn
itated with most pleasing effect. 1t
was so well rendered that the audi
ence called for it again, and it was
repeated, and the house came down
with tremendous applause.
Miss Ruth Feather sings alto well
but she excels in soprano. Her voice
is Of hute-like quality, very strong,
of wonderful compass, and under
perfect control. Her solo singing in
the last piece thrilled the house. It
was magnificent, and charmed every
one. We have never heard her equal
in this county. In the full choruses
II was MISUNDERSTANDING by ITS own pc
culiar quality-hoating, lowering
over all, full Of sympathy and sweet
ness and the exclamation from a hun
dred people was 'what a magnificent
voice"
In the ''Tardy Troop" Miss Matte
Hartman's alto was much admired
Her voice is not very strong, and,
therefore, does not appear at an adj
vantage in a full chorus; but in the
qhrtette its sweetness and sympathy
were noticed and warmly commend
cd.
The whole Class is composed Of
excellent singers, and we have no ad-
verse criticisms to make.

MoNoNGALIA Co, FAIR.-The AN
nual Fair Of the Monongahela valley
Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
citation will commence at Morgan
town on Wednesday the Goth of Sep
temher next and continue three DAYS.
We do hope our farmers will take
more interest in this fair than they
did last year. This year we have
no Centennial to attract our attention
and the Fair is really ,he only annual
meeting in which the whole commun-
ity men and women, Farmers, Me
ehanics, Merchants and Manufacture
ers are alike interested. We shall OK
pect a large attendance this year,
and we should Hike to see an awaken
ing in Monongalia County, particu-
larry on the subject Of stock raising.
With the best grass in the world,
the poor breed, of horses and little
attention paid to the raising of good
stock in this county should make
the farmers blush. We don't raise
as good horses now as we did before
the war. Why is it?

WHAT WE LIKE,-We like to see

WHAT WE LIKE,-We like to see a
man refuse to take his local paper,
and all the time sponge on his neighbor
for the reading of it. We like to hear
a man complain that he takes more
papers than he reads now ard then
go around and borrow his neighbours or
loaf about until he has gathered all the
news from it. We like to see a mechan-
ic or merchant refuse to advertise in his
home paper, and then try to get share
of the trade which the newspaper brings
to town. But above all we like to see
one of our rich, misery men who can
not pay 81 80 a year for his local paper
always manage to be around in time to
read the paper at the expense of a friend
not worth tenth part of what he him
self is. 1t looks so economical, thrifty
and progressive.-Er.

4 TipTON LETTER to the Chicago
Iafer- Ocean, written by Mr.. Clement,
the special correspondent whose pres
ence here was noted last week, runs
Is follows:
Yesterday afternoon Captain Lee,
of the United States Navy. lectured In
the Methodist Episcopal church on
God in the Ocean, Captain Lee
was shot i'm the foot in Hampton
Roads in March, 1862, at the time
the Monitor and Merrimac had their
little ..unpleasantness' there, and ne
was badly famed for life. He had
wound also in one arm, stiffening II
nj the elbow. His lecture was very
impressive, showing how the ocean
teaches the wonders and goodness oil
God. Ii keeps the earth from becom-
ing a waste wilderness, perfect Ces-
erf il feeds, clothes aud warns US,
and keeps US alive; moderates the
temperature of the globe by means OF
the gulf streams; is u perpetual source
of health, its waters being TO the earth
what the blood is to the human body;
supplies the great pathway for CON-
n,erce and social life on the most lib
eral scale; furnishes ninety-nine one
hundredths of the mechanical power
i'm this age of steam, and 1t Is the great
architect of the world. The ocean
made the geological history of the
world. In celebrating these points
the speaker was at times decidedly ell
oouent. The lecture has been pre-
pared. evidently, with great care, aud
IL sentences were clearly enunciated,
and most of the periods are rounded
with great beauty.

DAYS aud weeks come and go almost
inconeeivably when the public minds
absorbed with governmental issues and
locals are unnoticed, likewise the rural
sinkslinger' Since last subscribing
the non dt plume much has transpired
that might have been of interest, yet
we prucrastinated, thinking of the ed
itor's great basket and his gratulatory
profit and loss account with the rag
man.
Crops are well secured. and now the
farmer begins to realize that he has
large crop ofgood grain. Wheat is
turning from 20 to Is bushels to the
acre, larger yield than has been har-
vested for years. Barley and oats are
good with fair turn out The thresh-
ing machine j. humming in every
quarter, and with fair weather grain
will soon be threshed.
The Republican Caucus last Satur-
day was quiet affair. The delegation
consists of professor. an ex-congress-
man and merchant, which bespeaks
desire for good legislation, good
schools and stable finances. We UNI
derstand that august body stands
Scott, Frink andanti-Carroli,al although
some of our county politicians have
not sighted this locality in their pro-
| fessional tours.
1t was runiored that 4. ID. Crooks
had sold his large elevator and would

but we learn that it was only a rumor
much to the satisfaction of our pro-
| ducers.
Henry Shoemaker, who formerly
measured tape here, shook hands with
many friends last Wednesday and

will shortly engage in general mer-
chandise business.
We hear of a society called 'Star
Gazers." OF late they have been en-
gagged in watching meteors. During
the last month, of 1920 observed, they
tell us that abYat 100 had their course
along the line Of the milky way from
north to south-guite discovery,
but the question suggested j., have
scientists anticipated them Cox.
