tracing parties being present.
Among the number were Miss Min
ME Mccoy and James E. Mccoy, of

gentler sex. The groom, who is a

a permanent and lucrative position
in the War Department at Washing
tor. - Fairmont Inde1.

The PEoLEs' BUILDING AND LOAN

The PEoLEs' BUILDING AND LOAN
AssoCIATIoN.-A meeting of the cor
porators of this Association was held
at the office of Drs. Coombs q Cassel
berry on Monday evening of this
week to take steps to begin active
work. In pursuance of law two
weeks notice must be given before
the payment of dues will commence,
hence the corporators have fixed Fri
day February 18th as the date to
begin. Persons desiring to take stock
should leave their names and the
number of shares they desire to take
with DR.. Casselbersy on or before
that date. The careful management
and success of the associations here
tofore organized in Morgantown need
no encomiums here. Their work is
apparent to ALL No losses worthy of
mention were sustained by either of
the others and we have no doubt the
present one will be equally as well
managed. The organizations have
enabled some of our people to secure
homes who otherwise in all proba-
bilitv would not have been able to
own them. Our observation is that
bnilding associations are an advant-
age to all. They are good for the
poor man and help the rich man to
increase his store. We have never
yet known one to be disadvantage,
hence pronounce the idea a good one.
1t is to be hoped that the stock of the
present one may be at least from $780,
600 to $4,000.

THE HOME PAPER.-The local paper
is the best read paper in the world.
All the city papers in the world can
not supply the place of the home
paper. No other contains the mar
riages and the deaths, to say nothing
of divorces and births. No other
discusses the affairs of town and
county, or gives in detail the local
news, which cannot be obtained from
any other source. Everybody reads
it, and that is why the little local
paper is the best read paper in the
world.

JAIL BREAKERs-THREE PRISONERS
ASSAULT JA1LoR MERR1FIELD AND ONE
OF THEM EscAPEs.-On Saturday
night last Morris, the prisoner, who
is charged with robbing a still house
in Clay district, Gump. the meat
thief from Battelle, and Perkins, the
young murderer, made a simultane-
GUS attack upon Jailer Merrifeld
and attempted to escape. Only one,
Morris, succeeded. He is still at
large. The circumstances as stated
by Merrifeld himself, are about as
follows: "On Saturday night about 8
o'clock Perkins requested me to give
them pitcher of water. AS it was
my custom to supply them with
fresh water at that hour l thought
nothing Of it and got the water. As
opened the iron door leading to the
cages the three leaped against it, of
course forcing it open and dashing
the pitcher to the floor. l grabbed
one but could not hold him and Sc
cure the door at the same time, which
! realized must be done to prevent
the escape of the other five prisoners.
The three ran through the hall to
the front door and unlocked it, but
could not find the bolt, hence they
failed to escape here. Morris then
ran back through the hall and into the
kitchen. My wife grappled with him
but was thrown aside roughly when
he succeeded in unlocking the door
and making his escape. Mrs. Mcrri-
field then locked the door and put
the key into her pocket to prevent
any others from escaping that way.
Meanwhile Gump and Perkins find
ing they could not unlock the front
door turned their attendtion to hunt
ing some other way out. Gump ran
into my bed room and made dive
head foremost for a window He
drove his head through the large
pane of glass, but the shutter stood
his attacks without giving way. By
this time I had everything secure
about the Jail, and going into the
bed room caught Gump and choked
him into submission and returned
him to his cell. Perkins finding the
enterprise failure submitted with
out further resistance and was
marched back to the old place"
The jailor we would say had quite an
adventure, and it was fortunate that
nothing worse occurred. He is prob

indeed be profitable to all students
to spend some time each day among

But there are one or two irrepressi-

Gus and ungentlemanly conduct they
annoy those who wish to read.
