Testimonial TO Good CIIIzen-Progress
nt the College.
Our usually quiet village was thrown into
something Of confusion on last Thursday
evening by friendly demonstration OF
its citizens towards an esteemed gentleman
who with his family is about to leave OUT
midst for Wellsburg Mr.. John Lauck, the pro-
prietos OF the Bethany House, has leased the
Granite House at that place. and will in a
few days take charge Of it. Knowing this
fact, his many friends here were moved to
give him slight manifestation Of the respect
and good feeling which they entertain for him.
To this end It happened that early Thursday
evening his friends began to drop in on him,
and they continued 10 arrive until about 8
O'Clock. And although Mr.. Laucks house
has generally been equal TO any cmerI-
ency Of an eruptive character yet on
this occasion 1t was pretty severely taxed for
proper accommodations. Among those who
were present We noticed Prof. PendIeton and
wife, Dr. Whltsett and wife, Mayor Billings
and wife Mr.. Homer Curtis and wife, Col,
Aleck Campbell and wife, Mr.. Coons and
wife, and Mr.. J. B. Lockhart and wife. Also
Prof. HagermRn, Mrs Lowe, Mrs, Rodgers,
Ridgcly, DarsiO, Hawkins, Fowler, and many
others whose natnes did not get. Quite a
company OfyOung people were present, much
to their own enjoyment, and also Of the older
portion Of the visitors, including u good re-
presentation from among tho students.
About halt'past eight the Bethany
band put in an appearance, and
disconrsDd come excellent music,
greatly to the pleasure Of ALL 4 general good
time was had, and at reasonable hour the
friends departed for their respective homes,
leaving behind them many good wishes for
their esteemed neRhbOr and his eStimable
wife. We all feel that while Bethany Is losing
a.good and useful citizen, Wellsburg is gain.
ing that much at our hands.
On Friday evening We were ali entertained
by an interesting lecture Mt the hall OF the
American Literary Institute, ono Of the COL
lege societies, by Prof. James l., Allen, A. NJ,
Professor OF Latin language and literature
here. On next Friday evening, the cath, a
musical concert will be given at Chapel hall
