THERE was no special session Of
the county court on the 18th, as re-
ported.
MoRGANrowN furnishes six OF
the ten lady students at the Uni
versity. Ahead again.
THAT sprightly college publication,
the Athenaeuu, will appear to-mor-
row for the first time this school
year.
The two new ordinances now need
ed are TO prohibit the expressions,
"mile up Bolivar" and "wherc did
you get that hat"
WALTER HAYES, stable looks quite
metropolitan with its many gas
lights, water plugs and other eject
erao for the better regulation Of its
workings. It's as light as day at
night.
IT seems that the desperadoes who
have infested a portion of Greene
county, Pa, for some time are not
all behind the bars, as the story
copied in another column, OF the out
rage upon Mr.. Long will witness.
MANY ofour farmer readers admire
the stand we have taken in regard
to the fine horse business. 1t will
soon be one of the boasts of the
county that we have such an inter
est in good stock. Good stock will
soon be the rule around here, instead
of the exception.
THERE are a number Of cases of
what is known as scarlet rash" in
and about Morgantowr, the worst
case reported being that of Sheriff
Jones youngest child, though it is
getting better. While this is true
the Doctors say there is not case
of scarlet fever to be found.
The Morgantown brass band has
been reorganized, but they labor now
under the difficulty of having no
room in which to practice. As soon
as room can be obtained they will
begin to furnish some nice music
for the people. The membership in
cludes some of our best musicians.
Success to the band boys.
The weight festival at Academy
hall last Saturday night made more
fun for the average big crowd than
anything that has taken place here
for months. The girls were never
treated nicer, and not one had to be
without beau. The boys would
buy the girls like girls buy gum and
all were for sale. Financially it was
a success also, but fun was upper
most. Lets have another weight
festival.
THERE will be no apple crop to
speak of this fall in Monongalia
while the Ohio river counties Of the
State report the crop as never better
The equalization in these affairs
comes in when it is remembered
that last year the counties named
didn't have any apples, while album
dance of that fruit reigned supreme
here. At Buckhannon now peaches
sell for so cents a bushel, while here
they come at $3.50.
THE entertainment given at the
NJ. E. church last evening by the
members OF Mestrezat's class was a
novel and pleasing one. Besides the
refreshments, songs by the girls and
music by the orchestra, number of
recitations by girls dressed in quaint
costumes were given. Quite throng
of young folks attended and the
bright countenances indicated a
high degree of pleasure. 1t was also
quite successful financially.
WHEN it is said that the freight
receipts at the Morgantown depot
exceed those of Fairmont no dispos-
ition is intended to argue that the
shipments do. Of course Fairmont
has her coal to ship, but the state
ment we mean is simply that the
receipts here are more than at Fair
mont. Her nearby towns are sup
piled by different stations, but north,
east and west we have no railroad
service and the country around those
sections get their goods here, and be-
sides all the pipe, casing, tools, &C.,
for the oil field come here. Fair
mont has no Oil field close.
The lawn fete on Prof. Harvey's
beautiful grounds next Thursday
night promises to be above the aver
age Of such entertainments. Decor
ations and illuminations in profusion
will lend a beautious charm to the
natural conditions and good things
to eat in abundance will be served
for only trile, the proceeds to go
into the exchequer of the P. E.
church. All are invited to take ad-
vantage eff the various modes Of
amusement that will be provided.
Fancifully festooned figures in nat
ural gas will be among the pretty
sights, as will also the many young
ladies who will be there.
The Parkersburg club will be here
on the 26th of this month to do base
ball battle with the home team for
the championship of West Virginia.
Our club now holds the belt and it
can be truly stated that the Parkers-
burg boys will play all they know
how to wrest the laurels from them.
In fact great game is looked for.
1t is to take place ON the old fair
grounds and all should see it. The
proposition is simply that Parkers-
burg is to receive $50 for coming.
They will also receive defeat, 1t is
not a school-boy nine like Grafton,
and it will take playing to beat them,
but our boys are going to play hard.
IT is to be hoped the citizens OF
Blacksmith and vicinity will enjoy
an oil boom and make rich strike.
Of their efforts to bring it about a
Waynesburg exchange says: Oil
excitement in the vicinity of Blacks
vile, is said to have become quite
active recently. Four wells have
been located within a radius of two
miles of Blacksville and are to be
drilled at once One is located on
Miracle run. on Solomon Thomas
