Referring to the above notice we beg
to announce to the citizens Of this soan.
ty that we will contiue the busi.ess
heretofore conducted by w. G McGrew
at the old stand in the big white
building, Corner Main and Walnut
Streets, Morgantown, w. Va. Know
ing from liast experience that cash
brings better bargains than credit; and
that goods can be sold much iowcr
for cash than on the old time plan Of
long credits. When those who do pay
for what they buy have to pay also
for those who don't. We proprose to
sell goods at the very lowest living
profit, and to sell for cush or its
equivalent at the time the sale is made.
No books wiR be Kept and no Que
need ask for credll;it will not be grant
ed.
Every thing in the line Of Geheral
Merchandise will be kept, and all No
ask is trial to convince you of the
truth of the above statement, that goods
can be sold lower for cash than on
credit. McGREw n Co.

LIE ILLUSIONS OF CHILDuoOD.-Who
wishes to correct the illusions of child
hood? All of us can look back to u time
when we believed wildly that our own
parents were perfect, and believed dimly
that the whole grown-up world was per-
feet. The child knows, indeed, that there
are bad people in the world, but they have
nothing to do with the world in which he
and his companions dwell, and when he
thinks about them, he is puzzled how to
find room for them. We have heard of a
child so moderate that he only produced
two perfect men besides his father to con-
flute the doctrine of original sin, (women
evidently being not included in its scope, J
but most of us would have brought for
ward much larger body of witnesses on
his side. Now, no one would say that
you gave a child n truer view of his father
and mother if you made him understand
that they were two very faulty beings,
with as much 10 repent of rs the naughti
est of his playfellows. 1t is not that truth
had better be sacrificed to love; we do
sometimes feel that of these illusions in
later life, and any one who will put the
two states of mind side by side, will at
once see their difference. 1t is that the
illusion is truer feeling than any one
could substitute for it. 1t is the natural,
healthfu condition of mind of a child, the
one which puts him limo his place with
regard to his elders, which enables them
to do their part toward him, and him to
do his toward them. 1t bears every test
of truth. except that of being independent
of position. 1t is the truth for particular
stage of development.-Th Spectator.

For TIE BoYs.-Boys, the world is wide.
If you wish to be somebody, "pitch in. y
The brave always have friends. Where
others have gone, you can go. If the old
tracks don't suit make Il new one; some.
body will walk in it. Success is never
obtained in Il country like this, without an
effort. If you fail once, try it again-il
you fall down, get up again,-if il is dark
strike light-if you are in the shade,
move around, for if there is shade on one
side, there is sunshine on the other. 1t
takes longer to skin an elephant than n
mouse, but then the skin is worth some
thing. Never be content with doing what
another has done-excel him. Deserve
success, and it will come.
Take time, boys-don't hurry too fast.
Go slow. especially till you know the road.
or become acquainted with the team.
Mind your own business; don't stop to club
whiifets-don't stop to retail gossip-but
go on minding your own business.
You are learning trade. That is a
good thing to have; it is better than gold
brings larger premium. But to bring
a premium, the trade must be perfcct-no
silver plated affair. Determine in your
mind to be Il good workman, or let the lob
out. Learning Il trade is different from
eating mush and milk-mechanical educa-
ton does not slip down without chewing.
never slight your work; never. Every
job you do is sign. Poor signs are
against success. People always speak
well of boy who minds his own business,
and who seems disposed to be somebody
in time. This is a queer world; MANY
people are watching us, and hel p often
comes when, and from whom, we least
expect. Confidence is the safe in which
men often deposit rich treasures; and as
you prove worthy so will your reward of
success be. There is rich reward in
success, which none but those who strive
can ever enjoy.

The new year is also the time for taking
an inventory of all personal and real
estate, and if this is done regularly each
year, the farmer can tell whether he is
making progress or only making both
ends meet. This year, very possibly, the
inventory may show Il less valuation than
in former years, as there has been such Il
shrinkage in real estate, stock, stacks, and
almost every kind of personal properly,
but this should not discourage the farmer
In this respect he suffers in common with
all, but not to the same degree as the
manufacturer. Where the farm has de-
preciated twenty five per cent, the factory
has shrunk forty or fifty per cent Many
factories, also. are idle. and while idle are
rotling, and must be kept insured. Land
does not stand idle, never rots, and needs
no insurance. In the long run there is no
business that is more sure to furnish II
competence than farming If regular
accounts were kept, inventories taken, and
the business conducted more on business
principles, we are satisfied that farming
would pay much better than it does.-A
Hyde, in NeaO York Times.

Is it, or is it not economy to feed horses
corn in the ear? We have practiced it for
number of years, believing that the
portion which was not masticated, and so
passed out of the horses without being
dgested, was not equal to the miller's
toll The toll is every tenth, and this,
with the waste and time spent in going TO
the mill, will make it fully equal to every
eighth. Another thing the farmers do not
think enough about; suppose every tenth
is not masticated and aseimilated by the
horse, it is kept on the farm; whereas, if
it is left at the MILL the farm is so much
depleted of plant food. We throw the
whole ears into the manager and let the
work horses bite the kernels off as they
like. As soon as horses get used to eating
corn, there is no danger of its producing
any collie or other arrangement of the
bowels, but care must be taken not to
begin too strong at first. TAree or four
ears of flint corn is all Il horse should
have to begin diet of this food. The
southern and western corn is lighter and
not so apt to produce collie. In the south
corn is almost always fed in the ear, and
so it is in the west when fed at all. Corn
is excellent feed for horses to work on;
but not so good for fast driving. They
are more quiet and tractable on corn than
with any other grain, and will do more
hard pulling and drudgery with less loss
in condition. Oats make IL horse sprightly
