The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1879-07-19


Fayette county, Pa. Uncle Tom was
well known in Morgantown and vi
cinity as a man who wouldn't miss
heaven very far, i. e. hate snakes, be-
long to the Free Masons, take little
grog occasionally and vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. George don't take
any grog in his, but he inherited a
nose from his pap that gives him a
reputation amongst the fools for the
want of sense, as a drinker. But the
idea is incorrect. Having made a
speciality of his business for years, he
keeps up with the times, adopts every
thing that is good and new in his
line. Therefore all we have to say
about George is, that if you want any
dental work we'll done, get him to
do it.
Prof Fontaine, lately elected to
the new chair Of Natural History in
the University Virginia, is in town.
West Virginia's penurious ideas in
regard TO paying her teachers has
driven one of her ablest men from
her educational work. What higher
testimonial could Prof Fontaine have
than this, that his Alma Mater
should place him at the head of q
new school at its very beginning, when
it requires man of known ability
to make it successful? This is but
the beginning of an exodus that will
drain our State Of its best and most
talented men if there is not change
in the management of affairs. We
want new Governor and q new
Board of Regents, with expansive
ideas, and not miserable politicians.
