A PAINFUL AccrDENT.-On Friday
last Geo. w. Laishley, Esq, met with
quite painful accident while assisting
to move threshing machine. While
driving the team attached to one part
of it, the tongue broke its fastenings
thus allowing the wheels to zlgzag
in all directions. In running over a
bank the Squire was thrown from the
top of the load down the hill, break
ing his arm aud cutting and bruising
his head very badly. He was
brought to town Immediately and his
injuries dressed by DIR. McLane. At
last accounts he was doing we'll and
we hope TO soon see him all right
again. 1t was a narrow escape in
deed. But for his efforts to save
himself in falling, ten chances to
one, he would have been killed in
stantly.

CHURCH NcTEs.-A very interest
ing and we'll attended meeting was
held, in the M. +. Church, on Mon
day evening by the Morgantown Aux.

day scenes of that benighed country
Addresses were also made by Mrs.
j. NJ. Hagans, Mrs. Purinton and

Church. held servives in this place
on Sabbath last.
The present is the last week of

The trip as principally arranged by

cations, bids fair to be largely taken
advantage Of by the fraternity.

The MoNoNGALIA COUNTY TEMPER.
ANcE AND LAW AND ORDER AssocIA.
TON held its first meeting in the M.
f. Church, Tuesday evening, October
End, 1883. Quite a number Of the
upright, substantial, decent citizens
Of the town were present. Not few
ladies graced the occasions sure
token Of success. The Association
adopted constitution setting forth
as its object the promotion Of tenn
perance and the enforcement and ex-
ecntion Of the laws. Almost every
one present joined the Association.
Election of officers resulted in the fol-
lowing: Prof. D. B. Purinton, Presi-
dent; Rev. S. L. Finney, Vice-Presi-
dent; Prof. j. S. Stewart, Secretary
and Prof. A. L. Wade, Treasurer.
Yes, Treasurer; for it was intimated
that the law abiding citizens of the
town and county wanted temperance,
charity, happy human homes, to the
amount of several hundred dollars.
"Rummies" have money; 80 have
honorable people, and they mean to
use it for the destruction of the death
dealing liquor traffic carried on so
clandestinely, so sneakingly, SO dia-
bolically in our midst. A drunkard
some time ago, speaking of certain
man in this town, remarked: "Why,
he has such a passion for selling
whisky! 1t seems to me he would
sell whiskey if he knew he would be
imprisoned for it," Judging from
the meeting Tuesday night the citi-
zens have passion" to stop his in
fernal business. Several speeches
were made pointing out the line of
work and the method Of procedure.
The officers were empowered with
authority to prepare program for
next meeting, at which ringing
speeches are to be made by men who
know how to make them. Come one,
come all. Adjourned to meet in the
Presbyterian Church Sunday evening,
Oct. 21st. -

A LATE WINrER.-Vennor predicts
a considerable amount of warmth yet
for 1888. Some actually hot days
will be experienced in October. No
vember will probably continue open
and warm until towards the latter
portion of the month when rather
severe and wintry period is likely to
set in with hard frosts. The fore
part of December will probably con-
tinue cold and may lead many to
look for an early setting in of the
winter of 1S83-84, but, as in 1875,
all will be open again during the
latter part of the month and close of
the year 1888. The year will go
out and the new year enter with but
little or no snow, even in northern
sections. 8a

The VALUE OF ADVERTISING
short time ago J. E. Stoneking, of
Osageyille lost valuable cow, and
had spent many days in fruitless
search for her. He had about given
up in despair, when, at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. j. j. Wharton, he inserted
notice of his loss in the NEW Do
MINIoN. Three gentlemen who live
in Grant district near Louisville re-
ceiyed their copies Of the New Do
MINIoN on Saturday, and on Monday
each sent word to Stoncking where
his COW could be found, all having
seen the notice. Thus for IS cents
he recovered his property. So much
for little advertising.

A great many people call the pres

American, as a rule. thinks ofthe AL
mighty dollar in al! Of his transac-
tons, whether in pursuit of wealth,
health or pleasure. The general ten
dency of our race is toward excess,
and this should be carefully guarded
against. The love Of money is gen.

all evil, but all people seem to be af-

one run, ditto the Young Roughs.
Great excitement followed and the
game was anybodys. The eleventh
inning brought the Pierpoints to the

Young Roughs came to the bat, and
two were put out in fine order, but a
run. was made just in time and they

Town TALK.-"Did you break your
neck?" asked one citizen of another,
the other morning.
Break my neck! Why do you ask
that9"
"Why, don't you know that is the
proper and usual morning salutation
between citizens of Morgantown now
a-days, when they have happened to
meet each other tho night previousY'
"Why sop
"Well, it is generally conceded, it
Is taken for granted, it is forcgone
conclusion, that If man attempts
to get over the side-walks Of this
town after night he will break his
neck"
THAT'S So" responded citizen No.
l. 81 now see the point in your salu-
tation. The fact Is, the condition OF
the side walks Of this town is simply
disgraceful. It damages the reputa-
ton of the town. 1t depreciates the
value Of property. Itputs slovenly
appearance on everything else, no
matter how people may try to fix up
their property, and stranger COM
ing here will judge the town and the
people more by the sidewalks than
any other one thing. Dilapidated
sidewalks are to town what bad
roads are to the country. Worse than
than that--thcy arc disgraceful and
without excuse. Why does not the
Town Council move in the matter?"
"Ask me an easy one" said citizen
No. 2. "There are some things no
fellow can explain. only know the
Council don't / only know that
everything else on the face Of the
earth seems to move; the earth its elf
moves; tho things under the earth
move; even the sun do move, but up
ON the matter Of repairing the side
walks, the Town Council of this
model town does not and will not
move. hope they will fall down
some night and break their necks,
every one Of them! Good morning.
Good morning."
