McComas, Of New Martinsvillc.-
She died on the morning of the 24th.
If the owner of the stray dry
goods which were left on the Bank
premises, will call and claim them,
he is perfectly welcome to his own.
Goods must be identifed-but that
! Twill be no trick.
The Executive Committee CON
Fsisting of Hon. Jas. H. Hamilton,
Profs. r. 2. Yoho and W. N Will
liams met at Woodsfeld last Satur-

the best attended and most profit

AS soon as Little Rosebud"
"Eli-touch-me-not and Victor
have recovered from their late feast
on Turkey ribs, and other delicacies
of like nature, we expect to see
them come to the front with some
interesting letters. That is, if they
have survived the event in commem-
oration of which we can imagine
lhow feryentiy their benisons ascen-
ded. Their obituaries viii be in
ordel-should We not hear from
them soon.
LATER.-Since writing the above
we have heard from Victor" and
we retract his interest in the above.
We would like to see the shape
of the fanciful minded Editor who
got off the following unreality:
had dream the other night,
When everything was still,
Idrcaned that each subscriber
Came upand paid his bill;
Each wore a look of honesty,
And smiles were round each eye.
As they handed DER the stamps,
They yelled, "Eow's that for high?'
| (Sing to the tune ''Susannah don't
you cry)" The above as a dream
is all right, but the awakening to
1.-The plain reality would cause a diff
feFent "chnnc" to be sung.
The Belmont County board of
examiners submit seven questions
on each branch and allow the appli-
cant to choose five which, If ans

wered correctly, entities him to 100
per cent. Three higher branches
and the school law. an average of
90 per cent, no branch being below
75 per cent, and thirty months ex-
perience, are required for a five
years certificate. a one wears GER
tiiicate is granted upon ali average
Of 65 per cent. with no branch be-
low SIS. The requirements fer a
second, third and fourth class ccr-
/ tifieates ranges between these ex-
tremes. The tests arc thorough and
searching and. the hoard seem de-
termined to give the schools the best
teachers possible.-E. o. Teacher.
They have a far maiden down
at New Martinsyille who undertool;
to demoraiize a trade dollar. If the
daddy of that erratic coin,John Sher-
man, would study the result he
might gather another inspiration
Anyhow, this is what the Tyler
Democrat says about it;
A girl in New Martipsyille, about
a year ago, swallowed trade dollar,
and for long time her life was de-
! SPARED of. About two months ago
a number of red sores broke out all
:, over her body, and when these were
opened a copper cent was found in
each one. A physician was called
lin, and removed eighty-four cents in
this manner, that being all that
made their appearance. Since then
the girl suffers no Inconvenience
whatever.
"A recent comic song is entitled
"soap." 1t comes in bars.-Bing-
