CAPT. G. w. McVIcKER lost his

The General Association of Bap-
fists, in session in Grafton last week,

residence and his shop on Walnut
street few days ago. The finder is
requested to return it.

Tobaccos, Cigars, Snuffs, Cigarettes

The rink has been closed on &C
count of lack of patronage. 1t is

The Athens of West Virginia eel
ebrated it's centennial last week in
great style. The program was inter
esting and elaborate, and the occas-
ion brilliant success.-State jour
nal.
The support given the University
by the press Of the State is very en-
couraging Remember it is not
Morgantown's University, as some
insist on calling it, but the Univer
sity of West Virginia.
1. S. REED, the famous tin roofer,
is putting a splendid tin roof upon
Judge Dille's residence. 1t will add
to the appearance of the Judges
mansion, and it is needless to say
it will be well and artistically done.
SEVERAL cases of diphtheria are
reported in the town of Fairmont.
This may suggest to the health au
thorities Of Morgantown the proprie
ty of enforcing the law against often
sive and unhealthy sinks and cess
pools.
The Morgantown centennial cele-
bration, we learn, was quite a sue
cess. A very large crowd gathered
from all parts of the county, and not
withstanding the rain, the elaborate
program of exercises was faithfully
carried out.-Edgle.
WE rise to remark that the story,
which has been going the rounds of
the press, that the bottom has been
knocked out of Cheat river by huge
boulder, is bigger yarn than Mum
chausen's expansive brain ever con-
ceived.
MANY compliments have been
passed upon the report of the Cen
tennial that the New DOMINION pub
lished last week and the demand for
copies of the paper continued until
the last extra was sold, and many
others came whom we could not
supply.
ENGINEERS johnson and Samsel
began Thursday the work of laying

same general direction and cross
streets will be run at right angles to
these.
REV. HOWARD McQUEARY of the
P. E. church will preach at Academy

and that the church will be built
next year.
A YOUNG friend in the southern
part of the State in RENTING his
subscription last week says: II
must congratulate you upon the i'm
prved excellence of the New DoMN-
ION. 1t is far the best paper ever
published in Morgantown and equal
to any in the State. Long may it
wave" 1t is encouraging to thus
note the appreciation of our efforts.
Thanks!
BROTHER HAINEs, of the Charles
town Spirit, was recently out hunt
ing. He tells how he brought down
the game thus: There is one of our
sporting townsmen who thinks that
the next time he attempts to shoot
heavy old charge from shotgun
he will not sit on top of fence to
do it. He can't see where the fun
comes in when a fellow descends so
suddenly backward to the ground,
and the game he aims at escapes I'M
