Hon. Jno. r. McGraw. Deput,

Hon. Jno. T. McGraw, Deputy
Collector Mckinney, Jos. Marum,
Col Strauss and Jno. w. Gaseman,
Esq, were here on Tuesday attend
ing TO some business matters in con-
nection with the Iron Valley and
Morgantown Railroad Company. Mr..
c. L. Hagan, of Fairmont was also
a member of the party.
Prof and Mrs. Lyon will return
from Rochester the last of
this week The Professor has ac-
cepted the Presidency of the Broad
dus Female College. He has not us
yet matured any plans for the man
agement Of the school. He and his
family will move TO Clarksburg
about the middle of September.
Morgantown regrets very much this
turn of affairs, but our loss will be
Clarksburg's gain The University
looses one of its best Professors,
and there is no doubt entertained
but that Broaddus College will soon
increase in students under his man
agement. Prof Lyon has been
teaching the males of our State for
quite number Of years, and now
he has consented to teach the fe-
males.

Notes About Town.

In addition to the several build
ings now in process of erection here.
others are talked Of two of them
most likely will be built.
Our famous Coon" whistler was
put behind the bars last week again.
His persistent righteousness don't
seem to be acceptable to our Town
Sergeant.
Does anybody disgust their
neighbors by sitting down before
music box and yelling hideously?
Don't know, but certainly think they
do unless they are deaf.
-Sergt Slime has been busy for
some days cleaning up the street
lamps. There is room for decided
Improvement in this direction, and
it is gratifying TO see it being made.
Despite the many marriages of
late there is another on the tapis. A
pointer was given last week, and
what was an intimation then is now
a demonstrated fact. So take ar
other pointer while you have a
chance.
On last Thursday evening the
band serenaded the town individu-
ally and collectively until near the
hour of midnight. Moon light mu.
sic and hammocks make the even
ings enjoyable, and make one think
life is worth living.
"A young lady the other evening
on referring to something that was
rather extraordinary, said, "Well,
that takes the dilapidated linen off
the shrubbery." She evidently meant
to say, THAT takes the rag off the
bush" A very extraordinary way of
putting it.
The Court House presents bold
front. 1t is beautifully decorated
with representative specimens of ar
tistic work of the 10Th century.
1t seems to be getting ready for the
4th of July. Such works engender
a high spirit of patriotism among our
people. A circus is happy substi-
tutc for the old fogy celebrations,
which recall that little time they
had down at Philadelphia in 1776.
The Court House yard has been
lately converted into sort of recep-
tacle for the drunken "rowdies" and
worthless characters by the show bill
work in front. They congregate
en- mass every. night and make the
center of the town assume an APP
pearance very much like the Five
Points of New York. It's no doubt
handy for these characters but it is
not very entertaining for those who
live near.

Halleck Happenings.

HALLEcK, June 29.-Thc funeral
sermon of Mrs. Koontz, of Marion
county, preached at Smiths
church yesterday by Dr. Bolton, was

pulpit orator rarely equaled.
Died. June 2Sth, at her fathers,
Mrs. Madaline Jacobs, wife of Lu
ther Jacobs, of this district, and
daughter of DR.. Travis, of Marion
county. Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs had
been married but a few months
Mrs. Jacobs was young lady of
estinable qualities, was universally
beloved and respected by her large
circle of acquaintance. The funeral
exercises took place at Fairmont
church Wednesday, the 25th, in the
presence of large concourse of the
relatives and friends of the de-
ceased.
We are like flowers that fade and fall,
And so grim death will ask for ALL
The Reaper came on that summer day
And bore the loved forever away.
Rev. Curry preached at Kinkaid's
school house Yesterday afternoon.

Capt. Mcvicker was up in Clinton
the other day.
The Smith church has just been
reprinted, adding to its appearance.
Various papers note the appear
ance of the seventeen year locust,
this summer. These strange insects
certainly do not appear over all the
country at the same time. 1868 and
1880 were locust years here and the
next will be 1897.
That correspondent from this

The Rambler.

In my travels up and down your
beautiful valleys and across Your
lofty hills, il they are not indeed en-.
titled 20 be called mountains, | meet
all sorts Of people-some good and
some bad, some rich and some poor,
some that are termed high and some
low, some indifferent and some other
wise. Every man ! meet. with few
exceptions, has au opinion of his
own. one borrowed from some one
else, or has heard of somebody who
has the which is either
due him or is not--of having an
opinion. None of these men are
oblivious TO the fact that they are
allowed to discuss all sorts of qaes-
tions that demand the public atten-
ton in any way they choose. Their
conversation is very suggestive of
this view, at least Among the many
subjects | daily hear ventilated to
considerable extent, | think of none
more prominent than the question
whether or not there will be any cell
ebration in Morgantown on the day
this historic town completes her first
one hundred years. They some
times call it centennial day." and
give it all manner of big and cum
brous names which have decided
tendency to stree" a tramp, so / fire.
quently get into fix that might,
with no improperly, be called en-
barrassing. They, the country peo-
pie, say if Morgantown would Just
say so and put forward little work
to prove their assertions, centennial
day" could, with little trouble, be
made one of the grandest days ever
known in the whole history of the
Monongahela valley. And YOU will
agree with me when ] say that this
is saying good deal, for your beau
tifnl valley has witnessed deeds and
occurrences, the Importance of which
have justly entitled them to a page
in our national history. They say
that taking everything into consid-
GRAFTON, the time this centennial
comes, in October believe, and that
the railroad will in all probability at
that time be finished, the people will
flock in from Dan to Beersheba, be-
sides from some other towns of
which / know nothing.
More than all this | have lust
been telling you, | had the good for
tune as well as pleasure, to pass
through that city made with hands,
and which has such cosmopolitan
reputation for horizontal streets. II
believe they call it Fairmont Any
how while standing there on the
street corner, as is my wont when in
such places, ! heard quite a number
of gents who had collected around
few pine store boxes with pen knives
in hand, say that if Morgantown
should have centennial exercises this
fall they believed quite a number
from that town would attend. In
this manner / heard the subject dis.
cussed all over the county and towns
surrounding Morgantown, but when
l arrived at that almost century"
town | heard very little said on the
question any way. Indeed but few
seemed to be aware of the fact that
their town was about to pass the one
hundreth mile past. / heard many
other subjects discussed, but shall
end this, the first epistle, about now.

Death has removed from our midst
another old landmark. Jacob Mil

June Goth and were followed by
friends from far and near making
one OF the largest funeral professions

in the procession. The funeral ser.
vices were conducted by Elder j. ID.
