The Centennial poem ''Song of a
Century" by w. I. w. Barbe is a
production in every way worthy of
the occasion that called it forth As
one of the Professors of the Univers-
ity aptly remarked: mo one thing
has been produced by any alumnus
of the University of which l am SC
proud" And it is especially befitting
that the song of Morgantown's hun
dredth birthday should be sung by
one of her gifted sons, a young man
who by his own perseverance and
pluck has won for himself already nc
small renown in the world of letters
and of whom we are all justly
proud.

We want to call your attention to
the Centennial Historical Address,
published in full in to-day's New
DOMINION. 1t has the ring of old
gold, and is something that ought
to be carefully read and as carefully
preserved. Senator Wiley has had
for more than quarter of century
the reputation of being the most
gifted orator in West Virginia, and
he has lost but little of his old time
powerful eloquence.

The CentespiaI.


We have rounded up the first One
Hundred Years of our history as a
town. We have started on the first
year of the second century
We are glad of the enthusiasm
and interest with which the event
has been celebrated. We are glad
that it brought to our town such a
host of visitors to renew their &C
quaintance and friendship with us.
We are glad for the manifestations
of attachment on the part of old
residents who travelled hundreds and
thousands of miles to be with us on
the memorable occasion. We are
glad Of the new friends our town
has made and the public interest
that has been aroused all over the
State and in other States, in our
history.
Looking back over the whole event,
we are glad that the centennial an
niversary was not allowed to 90 by
without any demonstration. We are
glad, for the reputation of our town
that there was too much patriotism
in our citizens to be repressed, and
kept quiet. We are proud of the
spirit and pluck of the young men
who planned and organized the cele.
bration and successfully carried
it out.
Considering all the circumstances
under which the celebration was held
we pronounce it a success. True
there were many things to disap.
point. The very unpropitious wealth
er was enough to throw dampei
upon any occasion where out door
exercises had been planned. The
lowering clouds hung over us the
entire day as well as the day previ.
Gus, making everything look gloomy
and forbidding even when it was not
actually raining. The weather made
visitors uncomfortable, to some ex-
tent, and many suffered in returning
home, from the pouring rain.
Beside the discomfort to visitors il
deranged the programme to some
extent. The procession which might
have been made the most interesting
feature of the occasion, was not az
successful as it otherwise woulC
have been.
Notwithstanding the adverse fea
lures we have mentioned, the crowt
was in good humor. Everybody
seemed to be happy There was
lively interest taken in everything
that occurred. And there was al
entire absence of rowdyism ant
drunkenness that was very remark
able, considering the size of tn,
crowd.
Taken all in all the celebration
has done our town good. 1t has
done our people good. 1t has made
everybody feel a more lively interest
in our municipal history and stimu
lated local pride that will not, anc
ought not, die out with the occasion
,ss- Moreover it will be the means o.
collecting and preserving some very
interesting local history. The pro
gramme provided for the preparation
and publishing Of number of his
torical papers, some of which ar
now ready, and we hope this part O
the programme will not be neglected
