THE UNION PIcNIc-A Coop SOCIAL
TBiE.-The Union Picnic at Crowds
Grove on the 18th inst, was very
fine one and Notwithstanding the small
attendance the occasion was very
delightful one
John M. Davis was elected Chair
man. after which the choir from
Hare's school house favored MS with
music.
As there was no regular pro-
gramme the chairman had the oppor-
unity of selecting sorle choice and
able speakers.
Rev. Mr. Crawford, of the NJ. E.
church at Morgantown, was the first
to address the assembly. After this
worthy address adjournment was
made to partake of the abundance of
food. which hail been so generously
provided by the kind friends from
various neighborhoods. After dinner
Prof. Luther Boyers, in an able and
eloquent speech, presented to the
assembly some golden gems of
thought, connected with "the Spirit
Of the Sunday School.
Next in order was music, after
which Mr.. Samuel Hackney adj
dressed the "Union Body" in a most
forcible manner. His subject was
"War Between Good and Evil Infu-
ences."
Then came the discussion of queries.
Several gentlemen of talent took
part in these exercises.
Everything passed off with the
best of order, and although our num-
Der was small, we had a very delight
full and social time.

IA IOWN lnbhAh1 pau 10 u9 :
der discussion for establishing cir
culating library in this place. 1t is
one of the best movements that has
been set on foot for many long day.
Morgantown has taken to herself
the name of the Athens of West Vir-
ginia, the "centre of the Violet Crown"
She boasts of her free schools, and just
ly,too ;of her unassuming yet excellent
Seminary; of her legal, clerical and
medical talent; of the general cul-
ture, refinement and intelligence of
her citizens; of the State University
located in her midst; of her painting
and her music. And yet there is not
in town even the semblance of pub
lie library. If you want to read a
book you must get down into that
private purse and buy it. If on want
to examine magazine article you
have to subscribe for the publication
or trouble your neighbor for it.
There is library of some 5000
volumes at the University, but this
is for the use of the students and
faculty alone, and for all the good it
does the average citizen of the town
directly, it might as well be shut up
in all the darkness of Medieval
cloister. Nor could we ask or ex,
pect it otherwise. The University
with all its appendages and applian-
ces belongs to the State of West Vir-
ginia and not to the town of Nor
gantown. The town can no more
ask the use of its books than it can
ask the use Of it's astron omical or
chemical apparatus. There is no
ground for complaint that the libra
ry doors are locked, and open but to
college keys.
But we must read. We must read
though the heavens fall. A great
many of our people have fine private
libraries, but the great mass of read
ers here, as everywhere, have but few
books. Few books and an undying
appetite for reading.
What then is our duty in the prem
ises and our only resource2 We
think of but one reasonable answer:
Begin the establishment of Town
Library and Reading Room. The
project is perfectably practicable.
There is no doubt of it. No matter
if the scheme has been talked of and
abandoned dozen times in as many
years. The fullness of time has
come. A nucleous can easily and
speedily be formed around which a
respectable library will gradually
grow.
Do everything for it and nothing
against it. The plan must not fail.
"Bide wee and dinna weary if we
do not get 10000 volumes to begin
with, and we shall see what we shall
see.

Messrs. Ed. and Chas. Martin, sons
of Alexander Martin formerly Presi-
dent of the University were in town
day or two last week.
We clip the following from late
Dakota paper:
The orator of the day, Mr.. j. NJ.
Devine, was introduced and enter
tanned the audience with brilliant
and highly interesting speech, many
times meeting with enthusiastic ap-
plause. The pioneer, the veteran
and tenderfoot, one and all, could
take stock in the eloquent words of
the gifted speaker, who gave retro
spectiye view of history, showing the
spectacle of empires and nations ris-
ing, during the epochs of time, none
of which were grander than America,
the land of churches and bibles" the
home of statesmen and warriors. He
dwelt at considerable length upon
the persons and events of twenty
years ago, bringing wildly to mind
the martyred Lincoln and the heroes
of the civil war, asserting truly that
our days are not wanting in history,
although the present is a time of
peace and plenty.

RAILROAD News. "A railroad hand
at Rievesville disappeared rather mys-
teriously several days ago. No clue
to his whereabouts has yet been
found.
Some fifty Italians passed through
town last week enroute for Morgan,
town, where they will work on the
railroad.-Stondard
The contractors on the F. M. d p.
are cutting down their force of en-
ployes. p. II. Bennett discharged
sixty-five men on Saturday, and Ben
nett & Talbot have dismissed over
two hundred and will cut off more
this week. The discharged men are
all Italians and Hungarians, we be-
lieve. The superabundance of labor
ers now on this work will next bring
about reduction in wages We
hear that this will probably come
with the first Of next month, when,
it is already announced, wages will
be cut down to 80 cents per day.
The object in reducing the forces
is to avoid completing the grad
ing before the bridge is built; that
until work is actually commenced on
this structure, there is no necessity
for pushing the grading forward as
rapidly as has been done heretofore.

The 'sDEvIL" TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
We don't like to tell tales out of
school, but the truth ought to be
known. We went to Sunday school
once and learned to tell the truth.
The Boss has run off Alphabetically
skipped. And he wasn't President
of bank either. If he had been
President of bank there would have
been nothing unnatural about it.
They sometimes suddenly make up
their minds to take little vacation,
you know.
We have an idea that he has gone
to Washington to be President. That
seems to be the great aim of his life.
He lies awake o'nights, thinking
about it, and contriving what he
would say in his inaugural. Why,
he would rather be President than
than-than editor of newspaper.
We wouldn't But he is just that
kind of man, the boss is. But if
he does decide to run against Ben.
Butler the "Devil'' wont support him.
Not much. He knows him. He has
the pleasure of his acquaintance.
The Boss is not the kind of man
that Ben is. Ben acknowledges that
he took the spoons and the Boss
well, that's all.
If he can't get to be President it is
likely that he will do the next best
thing and go a-fiishin'. He won't be
satisfied with any little minnies in
the pond either. He is ambitious.
He is going to the ocean and when
he comes back next week the paper
will be full of big fish stories, bigger
than that one about Jonah getting
hungry and eating the whale.
When the boss is away everything
runs nicely, though it does go to the
Devil We have nothing to do but
attend the Institute every day and
peep at the pretty school-marms, and
sit In the office and count over the
money that comes in. We could,
perhaps, handle little more money
than we get, and if anybody has
more of the filthy stuff than he wants
10 keep in the family, now is the
time, while the Boss is away, to bring
it in.
We are getting some life into this
establishment again. We have Or
dered bran new engine to run the
new press which we bought when the
Boss was away before. There is
nothing like giving the "Devil' a
show, and if the Boss don't come
back too soon and countermand our
order, we will be running this whole
business by steam in week or two.
The Boss whispered in our ear
that he would probably see the State
and also the National Executive
Committee He will help set up both
the State and National campaigns.
That settles the matter. There is
no longer any show for the republic
cans. They might as well shut up
shop and not have all their wasted
money and liquor to weep over at
last.
N. B.-Don't you think the paper
is just little better this week than
usual?
p. S.-Don't you wish the Boss
would stay away all the time?
