Miss Jennie Smith Monday night at
her stopping place, Mrs. Andersons.
Pedestrians find the distance
from here to the terminus of the F.,
VI. and z, very well suited to their
tastes for exercise.
--Postoffice Inspector Thomas, OF
Washington, ID. C., was here last
week taking in the lay of the land
and investigating the workings of
our mail facilities.
More than one hundred people
were turned away from the front
door of the NJ. f. Church on Sunday
evening because of the great crowd
already in the house.
The first quarterly meeting OF
the Morgantown station of the NJ. Z.
church for this year will be held
here next Saturday and Sunday.

present.
Miss Jennie Smith was enter
tanned at dinner last Friday by Rev.

present, also, Mrs. Anderson, Miss
Allie Vance, Ed. G. Protzman and
Rev Mr. Crawford.
Have you seen the new sign of
j. r. Miller's tobacco store? 1t was
painted by David G. Hogue, and is
one of the neatest and most artistic
signs in the town. 'Dave" deserves
to be complimented.
"A fire broke out in the 'Dayis
House" now occupied by Dr. Allen,
on Saturday night near midnight
and threatened to destroy the build
ing, but was checked after consid-
cradle hole had been burned in the
roof. The fire is thought to have
originated from burning SCOT in the
chimney.
j. NJ. Reed show windows con
tain an oil painting from the brush
Of Miss Lille Hagans. The sub
ject is young lady playing a guitar,
(Which by the way is one of the most
attractive subjects imaginable) and
has been treated with great skill and
attention to technique Suitable
material for an unusually creditable
art loan is accommodating. Who will
push it forward?
Last Sunday Patrick WEIGH pas
sed through town on foot from I'm
iontown on his way to Newburg,
where his folks live and where his
father and brother were shut up in
the shaft in that horrible disaster
last week. He had walked the en-
tire distance from Uniontown in or
der to save his money for his mother
and sisters at home, whose means of
support had been cut off by the dead
ly explosion in the mine.
On Monday a COW belonging to
to Joseph Fisher got into the river a
short distance above the suspension
bridge, and after making q few eff
forts to get out, she drifted under
the ice and hoated down below the
bridge some distance to where the ice
was broken. Here she "bobbed up
serenelyn and after good deal of as
sistance from men in boats she was
landed on the shore, wiser if not a
better COW. OF course she was al
most chilled to death.
The Morgantown Cornet Band
has been recognized recently and
put in even better condition than
ever before. There are now twelve

they will stay together until practice
shall make them the leading band in

follows: Russell Huston, piccolo;
John Samsel, clarionet; Jas. Winger,
(ieader) Eb cornet; Bert Hite, BIB
cornet; Marshall Crow, lst alto; II.
Arley Christy, 2nd alto; Grant Ma
dera, LIST tenor; Ed Wiedman, End
tenor; Nye Kiger, baratone; DIR. Pat
terson, Eb tuba; John Gregg, tenor
drum; w. r. Basnett, bass drum.
The people of Morgantown have
made a very successful and com
mendable effort to reward Miss Jen-
ME Smith for her labors in our midst.
Misses Lucy Donley and Bessie Rue
were soliciting contributions on be
half of the younger girls, and OBJ
tanned nearly Sl2, which they gave
to Miss Smith, partly in gold and
partly in selected presents. The
young ladies of the New Mission
Circle voted to give her S25 out of
their treasury Misses Lille Pick
enpaugh and Nellie Wallace collect
ed about $50 from the young men of
the town and the University, and the
nightly collections will amount to a
total of not less than $50, making a
grand total of more than 800 This
liberal donation speaks well for Nor
gantown, and the young ladies who
solicited the subscriptions. as well
as the young ladies of the New Mis-
sion Circle, deserve great credit for
what they have done.
