A Town That is blessed with Many
Schools
Special 10 the Register.
CLARKsBURe, January 26..To enumerate
the schools in operation in Clarksburg
would be to convey the impression that We
are highly favored educationally. A graded
school with an attendance OF more than
three hundred pupils, Broaddus Female
College, St. Joseph's Academy, the select
schools of DR.. Craig and Mr.. BediDger, with
a primary school, make list longer than
usual for town of this size. But there is
yet another one wanted to make the list
complete-a high school for boys. A gen.
tleman came here last year, bought four
acres of land beautifully located and COM
menced the erection of buildings prepara-
tory to opening school OF this kind. Hay-
ing arrived at that point where he could
proceed no further without assistance, and
the citizens failing to render that assist
arce, the undertaking was abandoned, the
gentleman sought.a field of labor elsewhere,
and the winds whistle through the unfn-
ishef building which stands monument
to Clarksburg's want of enterprise. The
Young men who are thirsting for higher
education must seek it elsewhere.

to have bean actuated BY malice, and that
in reply 10 the Eagle, by desire ito create
q feeling among the boys Of Grafton against
the Eagle" We wish 70 state briefly that
These ImpressfOns are WFoNG.
We held no malice toward any of the
young ladies. II We had, We might easily
have added their ames, which would have
put an entirely different face on the mat
ter and might then have been considered
malicious. Neither had we any bad inten.
ton toward the editor Of the Eagle, The
only intention was TO say that inasmuch as
be has had more friends among the boys
than any other class of our people, he was
not doing the proper thing when he wrote
an article which was likely to cause
strangers to form wrong impressions OF
them. These were our intentions, and the
manner in which those articles were writ
ten, was prompted alone by the hope OF
writing q letter which would rank as 81
ordinarily interesting newspaper article,
and by the desire to defend our boys from
the unfavorable as we'll as untrue opinions
which might arise from the article refer
red to We hope that those who have thus
far held these wrong ideas, as well as others,
will hereafter view these matters vi the
eyes Of reason, seeing them as they really
are, ana not as they would appear when
seen through the magnifying glass OF preiu-
dice.
