We received call last week from
DR.. George Rumsey, of Austin, Tex
as. DR.. r. was once resident of
this county but moved West As years
ago. Although well up in years the
Doctor is straight as an arrow and
as vigorous as most men of 40, and
is as vivacious and entertaining as
one could wish. He is sound Dem
crat. He studied his profession with
the late Doctor Chas. McLane.
Charley Mosca, the popular pain
ter, was in town this week. He is
a very tasty wor kman, and asks only
reasonable compensation for his SER
vices. Charley uses printers ink,
consequently he always has plenty of
work on hand. His charges are based
upon the length of time required to
complete contracts.
We are sorry to announce the con-
tinued indisposition of Mr.. Jas. Cd
bert, though he has improved some
what.
Prof A. L. Purinton has been APP
pointed Superintendent of the City
Schools of Parkersburg. This is
very responsible position, but we are
quite sure the Professor will be equal
to the undertaking. During his con-
nection with Marshall College, as the
assistant of Prof. Chesterman, he won
golden opinions as an educator. His
scholarly attainments and capacity
to instruct, were early recognized
and appreciated by this community.
But above all, the symmetry and
uniformity Of his moral character
has left an indelible influence that
years cannot efface. Parkersburg
is to be congratulated in securing
his services.-Huntington CONNER
