CLINTON NEWS TOGETHER WITH SOME
SUGGESTIONS ON THE CENTENNIAL.
HALLEcK, July 13.-The Fourth
passed off very quietly. A small
party from here spent the day at the
cave. There was debate at Union
Grove school house by persons OF
this and Marion county, but we failed
to hear the question debated and
learn who the debaters were. There
was preaching at the brown school
house by Rev. Nestor There were
also several dances in adjoining
communities. These with the show,
attracted some of our people while
many spent the day in their fields
at labor. Why could not people
have a permanent organization to
see that proper arrangements lie
made for the keeping of the day, sa-
cred to Americans in the different
parts of the country?
People are about done harvesting
wheat. Though a light crop yet it
is fully as good as expected. AL
though there are some good meadows
in this section, it is believed the
grass crop will he lighter than last
year. Oats and corn generally pre-
sent fair prospect, and will be a
small apple crop, and indications of
Of good mast.
The summer school taught at I'm
ion Grove by Miss Fannie Bennett,
closed Friday.
Prof S. B. Brown after spending
few day at home, has been attend
ing the State Educational Associa-
tion at Keyser.
The sick of this section are i'm
proving.
In accordance with your request
for correspondents to give the opinion
of people on the Centennial, we in
tended to submit ours but, perhaps
the committee ere this have made
such arrangements as in their wis
dom they deem most suitable. But
our opinion was this: That the peo-
pie of the county will be willing to
celebrate the day, but the Centennial
of the county seat would not be so i'm
portant an affair to the people of the
country as to the people Of the town,
which towns centennial would be eel
ebrated. Therefore as all would wish
to be interested deeply in the occasion,
could not we have beside the Centen-
NAL q reception, in the way of a
roasted OK, for the surviving soldiers.
especially those who went to defend
the Union, and who are fast passing
away from among us, and let all the
x-soldiers Of this and adjoining
counties join in the great day.
A quarter Of century has already
passed away since these heroes went
forth "to do or die Perhaps the
last surviving soldier of the Revolu-
ton has passed away, where wars
thunders awake to Liberty's call no
more" The soldiers OF 1912 are
few, and those of the war with Mex
leo are scattering; but by the firesides
of many of our homes are still the
fathers that relate to their sons
thrilling incidents of Gettysburg, An
Jacksonville and Petersburg. What
these heroes did is published to the
world. Persons are now living that
will see the last surviving soldier Of
the war for the Union pass away.
Would we do wrong with our com
ing Centennial to offer them II reccp-
ton of some kind, while they are yet
among us? We believe in Il great
two fold cause like this, all would
aid with contributions and also their
presence.

tin shingles. The first lot we be-

The CONCERT AT THE SEMINARY
A RARE ENTERTAINMENT large
and incomparably select audience
assembled in the Seminary hall on
last Friday night to be entertained
by the grandest musical treat which
ever favored Morgantown. The
performance opened with a well rem.
dered song by Mrs Palmer, enti
tied Dreaming" which elected
rounds of applause.
This was followed by an instru
mental duet by Miss Susie Moore
and Mrs. Dering, the rendition OF
which put the audience in perfect
sympathy with the entertainment,
and prepared it for the next part, the
beautiful "Non I'oyno," by Mrs.
Palmer. The original Italian in
which it was sung gave an addition
al charm to this fine masterpiece.
When the applause had subsidized
Miss Susie Moore favored us with
an instrumental solo in f minor, in
which Miss Susie plainly demon
strated that she was, as usual, mis-
tress of the situation.
Every syllable of the next song
seemed to strike responsive chord
in the breasts of the hearers. The
title was, "Go Softly, Go Safely"
Mrs. Palmer was repeatedly encored.
At no time during the evening was
her power more manifest.
Miss Alice Brock Altman then ex-
ecuted one of LISTS greatest tran
scriptions, being an arrangement from
the Opera Faust. 1t is greatly used
by artists as drauura piece, and
requires strong, firm touch. 1t is
needless to say that Miss Altman
did the composition justice, for more
than once we heard her rendition
pronounced as phenomenal.
After the programme was COM
pleted by Mrs. Palmer, by singing
Tosti's "Good Bye" the encore was
so emphatic that she again appeared
DClOIC Vic ttuulCuNC, anu sung w u
Down Upon the Swanee River"
which closed the entertainment.
1t would be we'll to remark that
Mrs. Palmer, who is pupil of
Ettore Barili, the brother of Madame
Patti, made her debut before Nor
gantown audience. Her voice is a
pure contralto, yet she can with ease
60 as high as A above the staff, and
her sustaining power is very great.
Her services as soloist have been Sc
cured for the ,Sengerfest at Wheel
ing.
Miss Altman's technique is very
fine, and the fact of her being a
Morgantown lady, who by dint of
application has acquired so much
should rebound to her credit The
town should be proud of her. We
understand she will assist Mrs.
Moore as instructress at the Semi
nary the following year.

MARROW ESCAPE OF Two MEN.-A
few days ago Mr. A. J. Frum hired
two colored men to sink his well
deeper; the men using dynamite fol
blasting. They were railroad work
men and understood how to use the
dangerous explosive, but an unfor-
seen circumstance occurred that al.
most cost them their lives. After
the charges had been fired some time
one of them decended into the well
and was overcome by the fumes OF
the dynamite and foul air, and fell
to the bottom. His mishap OF
course created much excitement, and
great efforts were made to rescue
him from what seemed to be his
perilous position at the bottom oil
the we'll Before anything could be
done, however, he became conscious
and with little help got out. A
sigh of relief escaped from every
one when Brandy" got to the sur
face and was unhurt. The second
man was nearly strangled in trying
to rescue his companion, but both
have entirely recovered, and now
seem none the worse for their adven-
ture.

THEY ARE COMING, UNCLE SAM
UEL.-Mr Gordon Wigle, hailing
from the Dominion Of Canada,
dropped down on Mor9antown this
week to look into the face of a town
one hundred years old, which is just
getting ready to open railroad,
establish water works and gas, and
take a new lease of life generally
offering all the advantages of a high
culture and civilization along with
the business opportunities of new
western town. Gradually men and
capital will find us out. They will
find out that we have one of the
most beautiful locations for home
to be had in the United States, with
educational advantages second to
none, and a country comparatively
undeveloped, only waiting for capt
tai and enterprise in connection with
facilities for transportation, to make
it blossom as the rose. We invite
Mr. Wigle to haag up his hat and
take seat.

MAsAeEmENr OF THE CEMErERY.

MAHAGEMENT OF THE CEMETERY
There is a good deal of very just
complaint about the management, or
lack of management, of our local
cemetery. 1t has no directors who
have control. Each ot-holder must
watch over and care for his own lot.
The general care and protection OF
the grounds being eveFybody's bust
ness, the natural result is general
neglect. Fiendish persons are be-
ginning to take advantage of this
condition and to desecrate and de-
spoil the graves and grounds. The
depredations of this character are
becoming so frequent as to be gen
eral source of complaint and to make
everybody anxious who is interested
in those grounds. Now we submit
that there are enough lot-holders
there TO make it matter of economy,
as well as of protection, to have a
superintendent who will be constantly
on the grounds and have charge OF
the lots. 1t is entirely practicable
to employ a man to take charge of
the grounds and keep the lots in re-
pair at less cost to the individual
lot-holders than the present cost of
cleaning and repairing the respective
lots. A man can be employed at
stated salary to keep the lots in re
pair, and be given the exclusive
privilege of digging all graves. He
would be assured of certain income,
and the work would not be exacting.
There are a number of persons here
abouts who would be glad of the po-
sition at small salary, and the cost
would not exceed S. per annum to
the respective lot-holders, and they
would receive more than that in re-
turn by the care and work done on
their lots. We are satisfied that a
move in this direction would be
heartily endorsed.

NOTES.
The work may now be said to have
been fairly commenced and all it
needs is vigorous work to have the
grandest and by far the greatest and
most notable occasion ever seen in
Morgantown.
Let every citizen in the county
give it his good will and assistance
and it will be such one.
Our Town Council is not boiling
over with Centennial enthusiasm,
but they will have to jump on and
ride or get run over.
Much credit is due to Mr.. Jne. j.
Brown for the time and thought
given to the Centennial program.
His work will be a valuable aid to
the committee in arranging an inter
esting order of exercises.
Our enterprising fellow citizen,
Mr. Cal. Stewart, represented the
county on the West Side, at the Cen
tennial meeting. He is one of the
"Sovereigns" who doesn't lose his
public spirit even in harvest time,
Probably the most venerable look
ing, and we think the oldest citizen
present at the Centennial meeting,
was Philip Harner. He is hearty
and hale for his years and will be
one to ride at the head OF the process
sion.
We noticed our venerable Post
master was not to he outtlone in
centennial enthusiasm. He is eighty
three years old, and his hearing q
little duh, but he always voted aye
at the meeting. on venture.
