HALLEcK, June Recent show.
ers have greatly revived the "droop-
ing spirits" of vegetation.
Sheep shearing and road working
is next in order.
Mr. c. Fl. Duncan was called by a
telegram last week to the bedside of
his father, at Dunbar, Pa, who is
very low and whose recovery, owing
to his advanced age. is believed to
be very doubtful.
The funeral of William Jesse King
was preached at Smiths chapel yes
terday by Rev. Harris. Mr.. King
was young man of integrity, and
taught school a number of years, was
consistent member of the NJ. F..
Church, was known by large circle
of friends, was respected by all who
knew him, and consequently large
crowd of people was drawn by the
exercises from the surrounding com
munity.
Such another school election as we
had. Not near all the people Of the
county, we believe, knew of it,
Would it not be more interesting
and save extra expense for the law
to be changed to have the school
election at the same time of general
elections? IF politics hurts the edu-
cational interests by having school
elections at the same time of other
elections, our educational system is
already hurt by it in a certain de-
gree, but we do not think it would.
The funeral of Mrs. Koontz will
be preached at Smiths chapel June

( Our CENTENNIAL PROGRAMME
Now shall we celebrate Morgan
toMis centennial year? What shall
be tN order of exercises? How
shall " enlist all the people? How
shall we Make it the most memora-
BILE day in Nlr history ? These -
questions waIS2g for answers. They
are beginning 'tNif1elast everybody
Every man, woman and child who
claims citizenship in town or county;
who has lived here in other years;
who has family relationships here, or
has had in the past--all these should
feel an interest and take part in
making it a merrygand memorable
day. The hundr.ds of young men
and old men scattered all over the
western States, and all over every
other State, who have ties and as
sociations in old "Mongahale,"
should be gathered in on that day
and have one grand family reunion
of Monongalians. They can then
come home on our new railroad and
take the occasion they are all wish
ing for, to see the old home from the
window of railroad car. If we
want to make the occasion what it
should be--creditable and enjoyable
we should begin now to organize
for it. Invitations should be sent
out to all the old inhabitants, and to
our sister towns, Fairmont, King
wood, Weston, Clarksburg, Union
town, Grafton, and many other
places, all of which will be glad to
join in the general jubilee. Then,
too, we should be collecting all the
obtainable relics of our past history
to make up a historic museum for
exhibition on that day. We should
have competent historian who
would read, Oh that occasion, an in
tercsting epitome of our history.
Perhaps we should have also a biog-
rapher who should review the history
of the old families. We should
have the poet who would present in
rhythmic verse, the romance of our
history. We should have grand
historic procession so organized and
arranged as to represent the pro-
gress and events of our history from
the earliest date down to the latest,
and so histrionic in its make up as
to present to the observer faithful
narrative in pantomime, and make
everybody laugh till they ache.
What an enjoyable time we can have
indeed, if we only get everybody in
terested and everybody organized.
AS we have heretofore said, it is the
privilege and duty of the Mayor and
Council to take the initiative in this
matter. The responsibility is upon
them. No other body and no indi-
lwidual can with propriety move until
Ethc Council have opened the way.
There ought to be home pride and
|paff lotism enough in our Council to
give the subject early and full con-
ls;deration. Let US, hear from the
ouncjl forthwith,)

Soon will the festive humble bee
His little carol sing,
And polish up right carefully
His merry little sting.
Soon will the small boy seek the wood
To climb his favorite tree.
And in happy careless mood
Persue that self-same bee,
Then will the blithesome bee in turn
Cause that same boy to send
To where he can relieve the burn
BY plastering it with mud.

A MoNoNGALIAN's CAREER--DR.
JACOBS CoMPLIMENTED HIGHLY.-The
Kingwood Journal of last week refers
to DIR. C. G.. Jacobs in the following
highly complimentary manner His
many old friends in this county will
be gratified to read it: The Journal
is always glad to note the success of
Prestonians abroad Though Dir. G.
c. Jacobs, of Frostburg, is q native
of Monongalia county, II son of Mrs.
Fast, of Morgantown, and half
brother of Mr.. Dick Fast, the Clerk
Of the Monongalia Circuit Court, yet
he lived for some time in this county
and taught school in Preston. Dr.
Jacobs located at Frostburg four
years ago, and though young man,
unknown there to any one, he has, by
his own unaided ability and merit,
built up fine and lucrative practice.
In addition to being very success
full general practitioner, DR.. Jacobs
is a very skillful surgeon, and has
performed some remarkable opera
tions. He has operated in several
cases for cluh-foot, and always sue
eessfully. He has removed several
cataraets from the eye, and thus res
torcd sight to the blind. In one
case, that of an x.Judge so years
of age, he operated with success for
cataract of the eye, and restored the
old gentlemans sight, after promi
nent eye surgeon of the East had
failed. DR.. Jacobs is hard student,
keeps abreast of the times, is ambi-
tious, and in love with his profession
yet'heis not rash surgeon, but cuts
cautiously and lakes advantage of
every means TO insure success, leav-
ing nothing otluck. Poverty need
keep no one from consulting him.
He is generous and kind hearted
man. Mrs. Jacobs, a Monongalia
lady, is a most pleasant woman.

The other day little daughter of
Capt. Middleton Thompson, conduc-
tor on the B. Il o. railroad, while
roofing up violet, found three pieces
of pig lead buried on the highest
point of Maryland Heights, which
overlook Harper's Ferry. The lead
weighed one hundred and fifty
pounds, and is now in possession of
Mr.. Thompson. The lead is identi
fed as that belonging to John Brown.
1t is known that pig lead was re-
ceived by Brown about the time of
the Harper's Ferry insurrection, and
while he was besieged in the build
ing at Harper's Ferry, now known as
"John Browns Fort" his son Owen
occupied the pinnacle of the noun
tain where the lead was found, and
which is just above the school house
where the pixies and muskets which
had been collected By John Brown
were stored.

Arab Women as Fighters.


From the earliest period of their his.
tory, the women of the dcsert-tribes
were as celebrated for their skill with
lance or bow, as for that bronze beauty
which the composers of the quasidah
or the moallakat were never weary of
describing. Before Islam il was the
boast of many Arabian tribes. us it was
afterward of certain Tartar hordes, that
their women could fight as well as the
men; the Himaryities were among the
most famous Of these All through
those ancient Arabian poems, to which
Mahomet is said to have referred as fl
nal authority for the meaning of cer-
tain words or phrases in the Koran, one
finds legends of Arab girls celebrated
for their equestrianism, their dexterity
with the scimetar and even for the
number of men they have overcome in
single combat. Islam, by subordinat-
ing the woman to the man, and Destroy
ing the idea OF male and female equan-
ty, did much to eXtinguish the warrior
spirit of the fair sex throughout the
greater part of the Orient; but in the
deserts of Arabia and MOI hern Africa,
something of those ancient ideas still
prevail.-N. u. Times Democrat.

The Highest Trees Known.

Some of the eucalyptus trees grow to
height of 500 feet, and would cast Il
shadow on the summit of the pyramids
or the dome of ST. Peters. They were
first discovered and classified by NJ. La
ballardieu, French botanist, just be-
fore the beginning of the present CEN
tury, and have since grown into a re-
nown as wide as that of the giant ce-
dars of California, some of which stood
where they now stand before the He
brew Bible was recorded q the earliest
choric hymns of the Hindoos rose along
the borders OF the iive rivers. One OF
these mighty trees, now hurled down
and stretched along the rock, present
ed, when it stood erect. height of
more than 400 feet, and, by counting
the annular rings upon a section of one
OF its coevals, it was ascertained that it
was more than four thousand years
old, standing there on its rocky perch
unmindful of the deluges of Dcucalion
and Noah, and mistaken amid all the
commotions of the globe.
Even this majestic altitude is sur
passed by some of the eucalyptus, which
thus far are the highest trees ever dis
covered; but there is as yet no sufficient
testimony as to their longevity. 1t is,
however, manifestly great, and some of
those which are to be planted here and
there by our compatriots may outlast
the nation, as the chestnut tree of Etna
outlasted Rome, and the giant palms S
