The following complimentary notice
Of a former we'll known young man
of misplace is clipped from a late
number Of the Vancouver, Washing

such a notice as we would expect to
see of him: At the Sisters fair last
week a most enjoyable feature was
the cernet playing by Walter A.

His rendering of favorite songs with
variations was received with great
favor, and highly praised. Mr.. Mes

here by his modest and gcntlemanly
deportment.

THANKsGivING-How PEOPLE HERE
Spent THE DAY. Thanksgiving morn
ing dawned bright and clear, just
such a day as one could wish for,
clear, crisp and inyigorating. In
Morgantown everything was quiet,
thus giving it the appearance of
Sunday. The places Of business
were closed with. few exceptions. In
the morning the eornet band paradcd
the streets for a time, entertaining
those who cared to listen to the
mu sic. IN
Religious services were held in the
Baptist Church. Rev. S. L. Finney,
pastor Of the Presbyterian Church,
deliyed an able discourse, taking for
his subject Thanksgiving Day" He
considered it as to it's history, it's
observance and its Importance TO us,
as citizens of this free republic. 1t
is to Inc regretted that there was not
a larger audience to hear his excel
lent address.
Family gatherings were not SO
numerous as usual. But few enter
tanned friends,
The ladies dinner and supper at
Academy Hall was the principal
place Of resort during the day. Quite
a. number dined there, though the
attendance was not as large as was
expected by the managers. We learn
that everything was sold, however,
and that the net proceeds were
about 500.
A number Of young men spent a
portion of the day playing oot-ball
on the fair ground. Several of the
boys are noticed to limp somewhat
since that time.
A pleasant little family party as
semblcd at the residence Of d. /. b.
Anderson and spent the day in social
intercourse and partaking of the
Inequalities of the clever host and
hostess.
At the hotels in town an extra
dinner was served to the guests.
Judging from the praises given them
by boarders they must have cxcelled
themselves.
Quite number Of the and young
men of town spent the day in hunt
ing with rather poor success.
A party of five young men from
town attended a dance at G. G.
Howelrs in the evening.
A party composed Of Misses Ole
Lawhead, Nettie Nye and Bessie
Finney, and Messrs. J. NJ. Reed, Wal
ter Hough and Meigs Bland spent
the day at Mr.. Thos. Mapel's, near
Roscdale. They all enjoyed them
selves very much and speak in the
highest terms Of their excellent host
and his family. The af-Finney ty
between some members of the party
is said to have been remarkable.

Rev. j. r. THOMPSON HURT on A
RAILRoAD.-From the Baltimore Sun
we learn that Rev. J.. r. Thompson
was injured in a railroad accident in
Massachusetts on Wednesday the
28th ult. The rear car of train on
the Boston, Barre and Garden Rail
road was thrown down an embank
mcent near North Worcester Station
with about so passengers many of
whom we're severely injured. Among
the number was Mr.. Thompson. We
trust his mishap will have no scrions
result.

Dear lady. there Is probably no use
telling on that fashionable life in a
great city Is q rough one OH your beauty.
Late hours, loss of sleep and mental ex-
element will leave you by and by shorn
Of those beautiful tresses which drew
lovers around you In other years. Arti-
fetal substitutes can never pass for those
rich and glossy locks. Parker's Hair
Balsam will stop your hair from falling
out restore its natural color and sOftness,
and prove cleansing and beneficial to
the scalp.

Can't AFFORD TO TAKE HoHE
PApEK-The Waynesburg Repu6li-
can thus tersely puts the matter:
Many persons when asked to sub.
scribe for their home newspaper, re-
ply that they cannot afford to take
two papers, and that they are taking
certain city paper; that they get a
greater amount Of news for less mon
ey &C., from the city paper than from
their home paper, and for that reason
refuse to give their support to their
home paper. To all such we wish to
submit the following questions: Do
the city papers give you any home
news? DO they ever contain notices
of.your schools, churches, meetings,
improvements and hundreds of other
things of local iterest to You, which
your home paper publishes without
pay? Do they ever say word cal
culated to draw attention to your
town or neighborhood, and aid in
building up the same9 Do they ever
publish any thing that win aid in the
progress and enterprises OF your i'm.
mediate vicinity? Answer these
questions,> and then determine for
yourselves, whether the city or local
paper is most deserving of your pa,
tronage and support.
