Moundsville is just now about in tn,
same condition as the rest OF the world
business dull, and great number OF peo
pie out OF employment. Whether all those
who do nothing really want employment
or not, am not prepared to say, but will
venture the opinion that goodly number
Of them prefer leafing around the stoves Of
our different store rooms than to engage in
hard labor-it suits their health better. I
am sorry to say it, but it Is true that we
have number Of boys-young men they
might be called-growing up to manhood
with the advantages OF n school at their
very door, and yet they never attend It.
How shortsighted are parents who thus
permit their children to grow up in ignor.

The old N. E. Church building, or rath-
er part of 1t, still stands as monument
OF other days, but 1t will be torn down
within the coming week II the contractor
finishes it at the time agreed on. 1t Is the
intention OF the trustees to commence to
build new one al once. The foundation
will be finished this winter, but when the
super structure will arise prophetic Wis.
ion cannot KEN" but We hope for the good
Of allconcerned, that 1t may be soon.
A reading contest was held at the school
hall on last Friday evening, at which nine
young ladies' and two boys read for the
llonors-no prize being awarded. The
judges previously appointed were w. NJ.
Writ, County Superintendent, DR.. w. $.
Simonton and = Brown, Clerk OF the
Webster Wagon Company. Mr.. Writ
not arriving in time the others chose B. +.
Meighen, Esq, to fll his place. The de-
cision OF the judges was that Miss Lillian
Harris deserved the honors, though they
spoke highly OF the entire class, and es-
pecially Miss Edna Hagan. We expect to
give other entertainments Of the kind in
order to raise money to buy apparatus for
the school, and We will have to give great
number ere we get much money, unless
our people do better than they did on Fri
day evening.
Quite a number OF the Masonic breth-
eren will visit Wheeling tomorrow even
ing to attend the meeting Of the Grand
Lodge.
A Teachers Institute was held at the
public school building on Saturday.
About % teachers were present. The ex-
crcises were OF a very lively character and
were engaged in by nearly all present.
Our County Court commenced its ses-
sions to-day and our loafers are happy. 1t
has brought great many people to town.
The sale at the Penitentiary to-day ofall
the surplus merchandise OF almost every
description, was attended by large crowd
OF people. There was everything almost
to sell from wheelbarrow to q steam en-
CINE. Mr.. McFadden was q heavy pur-
chaser. He bought at wholesale and'now
has enough to have great many retail
sales OF his own.
I was present but few minutes, and
then number OF persons were trying to
persuade our member elect to the House
OF Delegates to purchased pair OF bellows,
but he could not be made to see that he
needed them.
The day is dark and very gloomy.
Our new dentist, W. s. Simonton, has
located in the Mound City building, and Is
always ready and willing to do anything
in his line. He bids fair to do well and
