DfkD.-On Tuesday March 18th,
George Leonidas Polk, infant son
of Maj. d. B. and Mrs. r. I. Stewart
aged 9 days.
"It was only little babe" Speak
it softly gentle reader! Though so
young it was yet old enough 70 have
occupied place in a mothers heart
that can never again be filed on earth.
Old enough to claim fathers war
NEST affection; to leave a vacancy
in his family circle, broken by it's
death. Yet we find consolation even
in our very bereavement. Though it
never walked upon it's infant feet it
will walk the golden streets of the
New Jerusalem.
One sweet flower has dropped and faded,
One sweet infants voice is fed.
One fair brow the grave has shaded,
One dear object now is dead
But we feel relief in sadness,
For the child is happy now,
IL has knelt in soul-felt gladness
Where the blessed angels bow. -.

s. S. LoAR's RESIDENCE BURNED
AaAIx.-Last Saturday night the res
idence of Mr.. S. S. Loar, on the King
wood road, about eleven miles from
town, was totally destroyed by fire,
with nearly all its contents. A gen.
tleman from Preston county informed
US that Mr.. Lear was awakened by
the fumes of smoke late in the night,
when he found the house in flames
and 70 far gone as to barely give the
inmates time to escape. Only few
articles Of tri6ing value were saved.
Mr.. Loar has been unfortunate in this
respect. 1t is but few years since
he met with = like misfortune. We
learn that the house was insured for
$4,000 or about two.thirds ofits value.
The place is well known, as II was
formerly very popular as q resort
for sleishins and other parties from
town.

The OLD CITIZENS OF CAss DISTRICT.
There has been some talk lately
about the oldest residents of some of
the Districts of this county. Our fell
low citizen J. J. Wharton give us the
following in regard to some of his
neighbors. Mr.. Hynson Smith is 81
years of age and has been married IS
years. He enjoyed Sc years of mar
ried life, his wife dying about 2 years
since. Another is John ii. Bowlby
who is 50. Mr.. b. has been married
over so years, he and his wife still
being hale and hearty. He attends
to the stock on his farm and transacts
his business with considerable VIM
We might add that both these gentle
men have been life long Democrats
and never voted any other ticket, sell
dom if ever, missed going to the polls
on election day. Mr.. Michael White
is another very old citizen being over
so years ofage. He and his wife still
enjoy moderately good health, and he
is a man of irreproachable character
and very genial and hospitable.

WE SUPPOSED there was some kind

We SUPPOSED there was some kind
of an ordinance is this town which
was designed to prohibit fast riding
and driving through our streets, but
this delusion was lately dispelled.-
Main street, from the Presbyterian
church to the town scales is now gen
orally used as race track to the
very great inconvenience of every
one who has business on the streets.
On Tuesday we saw a young man
riding up and down street at, we
should say, the rate of fifteen miles
an hour, when lady, who was cross
ing the street, was almost run down,
and it was only by running off the
crossing into the mud that she cscap-
ed. Our citizens do not pay taxes to
keep the streets in good order for the
accommodation of a few persons who
may wish to use them for race tracks.
The town authorities should, in JUS
tice to their constituents, stop this
incorrigible nuisance, and see that
the streets are used for the purposes
for which they are intended-the &C
commodation of people who can pass
along them with decency and good
order. Let these ~small-fry horse
jockies, who never saw fast horse,
seek some other place to try the speed
of their scrub stock.

Rev. w. C. SNoDGRAss preached
sermon on last Sabbath from the text.
HE that hateth his brother is MUIR

portrayed in fitting language the
character of the slandcrer and the

strictest attention from the audience.

COURT NoTEs.-Messrs. J. W. Nc
Coy and U. N. Arnett, jr., of Fair
mont, and Frank Woods, of Taylor
county, are in attendance at court this
week.
The Joshua Ruble will case was de-
clded last week, after an exciting trial,
in favor of the will. 1t places Mrs.
John @. Sadler in possession of the de-
cedent's entire fortune amounting to
nearly $4,000. The grounds taken
against the will were that "undue in
huence had been brought to bear upon
the mind of the testator," who was an
infirm old bachelor. J. NJ. Hagans
and Senator Wiley against Keck q
Hough for the will,
Joseph jenkins, the same noted i'll
dividual who was found guilty of cut
ting the skirt off Sim Everly's saddle,
was brought into court Friday, charged
with the larceny of steel-trap and
chain, the property of Rev. WATSON.
The court appointed Mr.. Staggers to
defend the prisoner and after few
moments consultation the latter gen
tleman arose and pleaded guilty, ask
ing for the mercy of the court upon
Joseph. The law fixes the time of i'm
prisonment, however, and Joseph will
receive two years in which to learn a
trade. Poor Joe, he seems to have
been a chronic thief and
one who confined his operations to pets
ty thieving. Perhaps bad he received
different training early in life it would
not have been thus. "Verily, the way
of the transgressor is hard,
A new Grand Jury was empannelled
Monday for the purpose of finding
some indictments on evidence lately
discovered by the Prosecuting Attor-
ney.
Really the nest of thieves who have
30 long been an annoyance to law
abiding citizens is being broken up ef-
fectually. At the present time there
are ten men in limbo for thieving, in
its every degree, and recruits constant
ly arriving.
Taylor and Jones, the parties who
robbed Garrison's store, Rave confessed
to the Prosecuting Attorney and will
each receive five years. This was wise
on their part, as Taylor would have
gone for lite and Jones for % years
had they stood a trial, in all human
probability, that is.
Charley Johnson, who was indicted
on the evidence of Joe Jenkins for the
robbery of ]. P. Snider's store at Flick
ersville, will, we learn, plead not gull
ty.
The case of Richard johnson against
Thos. A. Haldeman for false imprison>
ment is now on trial, and will continue
several days.

DIED.-Mr. VIM. Price, one of the
oldest citizens of this county, died at
his residence in Grant District, on
Tuesday, 18th inst, at the advanced
age of 81 years. MIR. Price was born
in Loudon county, Virginia. in 1888.
When eleven years Of age he came to
Monongalia and has resided here for
80 years. He led quiet, peaceful
life, was devoted Christian and died
full of years and honore.

NEW FAIR CoMPANY.-Some Of our
more enterprising citizens are making
efforts to organize new Agricultural
Association. The effort is certainly
commendable and no more than was
expected. The plan is to divide the
stock into 200 shares of $40. each.
making the capital stock $4,000. The
appurtenances of the grounds occu-
pied by the old company can be
bought for $1,000, or about one-third
of their original. cost, and we learn
that the ground can be leased on more
favorable terms than before. 1t is
needless to argue the propriety of an
organization of this kind in Mononga-
liza. Our neighboring county of Har
rison maintains an association that is
not only self-supporting but pays a
handsome dividend to the stockhold-
ers. Among the advantages, may be
mentioned, the friendly competition
caused by the comparison of stock,
grain, fruits, vegetables and other
products and the exchange of views
on various methods Of production by
intelligent farmers. To our mer-
chants and other business men, ''fair
times" are especially profitable. The
great number of people brought to
town on these occasions spend large
sums of money. They patronize our
stores, and we are sure that no one
in town expects anything but a rush
of business during the fair. In view
of these things would it not be pro-
fitable investment for our business
men to take stock even if they never
derive anything directly from the
stock. Monongalia county cannot af-
ford to he without fair. Her inter.
ests will certainly languish without
one We say success to the men who
are pushing it. All they need is
little effort and the enterprise will be
a success,
