place but recently and no one who
saw him then in the enjoyment Of
robust health would have supposed
that he would be so soon called
away. He died of typhoid fever and
was sick only for short time. Two
of his sons are still quite i'll with the
same malady and it is feared that
they may not recover. Mr.. Long

to have bred the malaria which carried

thizing citizens, mourn his loss.

A SUCCESSFUL MoRGANTowN BUsI-
NESS HoUsE'-Among the enterpris-
ing business men of Morgantown,
we always refer with pleasure and
pride to S. d. Hirschman, who deals
in mems and yonths' clothing, boots,
shoes, hats, caps and furnishing
goods. Mr.. Hirschmam came to Nor
gantown several years ago intending
to establish q business that would
accommodate the people of the town
and county if possible and his snc-
cess is now apparent to every body.
He set himself about studying the
wants and tastes of the people and
never failed to procure just such ar
ticles as would suit his customers.
His terms have always been the very
best that could be given and his goods
were of the best and most durable
quality, so that when persons once
gave him their patronage they never
failed to continue it. By strict at
tention to his business and diligent
inquiry into and study ofthe wants of
the people until today he has practic-
ally monopoly of the trade. Mo-
nopolies are not usually commended
but all agree that such monopoly
as S. d. Hirschman's clothing estab-
lishment is blessing alike to the
farmer, the mechonic, the profession
al man and the laborer. Even the
dude smiles his sweetest when you
mention Hirschman's. But what we
intended to say was that Mr.. Hirsch-
man by his energy. industry and at
tention to business has built up a
trade that is now profitable both to
himself and to the community. He
has recently purchased from j. X.
Durr the elegant commercial build
ing in which his store room is loca-
ted thereby making his business fix
ed and permanent. He has become
more than ever Unidentified with our
people and thus signifies his inten-
ton to make his business life work.
1t is the live, energetic business men
that make the town. Show us a
poor old tumble-down building and a
meagre stock of goods and dyspeptic
merchant behind the counter com
planning of hard times and lack OF
trade and we naturally conclude that
the fault is in the town and commun-
ity. But such is not always the case.
The community cannot always make
the thrifty business man, but thrifty
energetic business men will do much
toward building up town. There
is none of the tumble down, seedy
appearance about Hirschman's estab-
lishment. His room is commodious
and his stock of goods is simply SUI
perb. In every department of his
establishment there is evidence OF
thrift and one is impressed when he
enters it that Morgantown must be
a pretty good place to afford such a
business. And so we conclude that
Hirschman is the sort of man that
builds up town and gives it tone
and character. Such men are always
desirable. We wish Mr.. Hirschman
success and wish great many more
like him would spring up in oul
midst. We recommend persons Wis.
iting the centennial to call and see
his establishment

An editor died and went to the
worlds crematory. The devil met
him with tender smile of compass
sion and thus spoke: For many
long years thou hast borne the theme
of the bad spelling that the anonymous
correspondent has sent you. Thy
paper has gone out for two dollars
a year, but alas. the two dollars has
often failed to come in for the paper.
The printer has bedeviled thee for
wages every Saturday night, when
thou hadst not a farthing to thy
name. They have taken thy paper
without even paying thee for it, then
cursed thee for not sending out bet
ter paper. Thou hast been called
deadhead by the freight conductors,
and deadbeat by the passenger con-
ductors, when thou hast shown thy an
nual pass to their envious gaze. All
these things thou hast borne in ST.
lence. Why contest thou here? Go
up higher, thou poor man, an eternity
of rest can scarcely requite thee"

The ladies of the M. f. Church
have decided to serve lunch on the
day of our Centennial. They have
not fully decided where they will
serve it, but it will be in a central
part of the town, and should be pat
ronized by all both citizens and
visitors. Our Morgantown ladies
are full of energy and when they at
tempt anything, they are sure to
succeed. We consider this luncheon
capital idea and hope it may meet
with abundant success.

The ITALIAN PRISONER TAKEN
AwAY.-The officers of Fayette coun
ty came here on Friday last and Sc
cured the Italian prisoner, Mike
Metz, and took him to Uniontown fol
trial, charged with the murder of his
relative, Rocco Cossodenti. The
prisoner fought like tiger. He up
turned table that was in his cell
and broke the legs off for weapons
and showed fight, only surrenderine
when knocked down by the officers
1t was supposed that he feared lynch
ing was one reason that he went SC
reluctantly. 1t is hoped the unfortu-
nate creature may show himselfinno-
cent of the foul crime with which he
is charged. Popular opinion is al
most unanimous against him, but he
cannot be convicted by popular opin.
ion. 1t will require evidence such
as will convince the minds of a jury
beyond reasonable doubt.
