DIR. GEO. b. MORRIS will always be
found In his Office In Morgantown from
the Goth to the last Of every Month,

the goth to the last Of every Month.
THE Farmers Store has reduced
the price of sugar.
Suits for large boys one dollar
for entire suit at Hirschman's S,
The streets are dusty, very dusty
so much dust has not been seen on
the streets in years.
MATTERS in the Mayors court
have been on decided standstill
for the past week. So much for our
peace and dignity.
ONLY three days of summer left.
Well be shivering under sombre
skies before we know it, but we dc
know we can fall back on the gas.
GRAPEs are beginning to ripen on
the vines in town. You can always
have thanks when remembering US
with concords or any other variety.
ONE of Sheriff Jones little boys &C
cidentally got small pebble up his
nose Monday which took great
while to extricate and which proved
very painful to the little fellow.
WE would call the attention of our
people to the announcement of the
Pittsburg Exposition which appears
in another column. 1t will be nice
and profitable trip to attend the ex-
position.
ONLY two weeks more to wait,
dear friends, and the water will be
making it's musical gurgle in all the
spigots of those who have them now.
Those who have not now would bet
ter before freezing time comes.
The roadways Of the suspension
bridge are being decoated with sand
and tar, land other improvements
are being made. The whole struct-
ure has also recently been painted.
1t is kept in better repair now in all
respects than ever before.
your size is among them you
get a great bargain. We have a
big lot of mems fine shoes in
broken sizes, one and two pair
of size, but mostly larger sizes,
these goods go regardless to cost
at Hirschman's.
THE replacement of neat iron
fence for the clumsy wooden affair
that did service surrounding the
university grounds is an improve
ment indeed. The new fence is one
of the very prettiest in town. That
old fence was the only disgrace to
the university appurtenances.
WE are Informed that sixteen of
the seventeen widows who brought
suit against the Orrel Coal Com
pany for loss of husbands and sons
in the explosion in the Newburg
shaft three years ago, have agreed
to compromise for five hundred dol
lars for each loss. The other one
prefers to have her damages assessed
by the court.
OUR South Morgantown neighbors
now boast of the best macadamized
street in the county. They made a
good outlay and now have a splendid
result Their idea of being incorpor-
ated for the purpose of paying their
taxes for good streets instead of
county roads is being faithfully car
ried out and we congratulate them
on their improvements.
ONE of the popular places for
home excursions these fine days is
to visit the water works dam on
1'ibbs run and view the romantic
grandeur of that locality and feast
their eyes on the incompatible seen
cry there to be found. The distance
is not great and the trip is well
worth the taking. There were 100
people there on Sunday last from
here and hereabouts.
The game law is still in effect, but
still we hear that the man with the
gun, flask and spike tail dog is prone
to steal off these cool mornings and
have q few hours hunting all by
himself, law or no law. The game
law should be respected by the gree
dy Nimrod as it is by the respecta-
BILE sportsman. The latter are cheat
ed out of some nice birds, while the
former act altogether on the wet
day principal.
The law, forbidding persons from
jumping on and off trains and riding
on engines and cars while doing sta
tion work and turning engines at the
Y, will in future be strictly enforced
against all persons not connected
with thecompanys service. No plea
of friends or ignorance of the ordin-
ance will be accepted as excuses for
future violators as there are two pc.
licemen on duty on the arrival of
trains and they mean business.
EVEN if we enjoyed the reputation
of being somewhat of a liar our
self we would be in imminent
danger of having the belt taken
away by state village editor
who tells of a lady that last week
set pot of cream in cave near the
house SO that it might keep cool.
During the night a frog fell into the
pot and his struggles to get out
aceidently churned the cream so that
when the lady visited the pot the
next morning she found the frog sit
ting on a ball of butter, washing
his feet in buttermilk.
l.. V. KEcK killed foot rattle
snake last Sunday afternoon, near
the Cool Spring, which had II rat
ties and button. Mr.. Keck had
driven out with his wife and come
to where some mountain boys had
stirred up his snakeship and were en-
deavoring to dispatch the reptile
with stones. The gentlemen was
armed with revolver and he, too,
joined the chase and the first sight
he got of the snakes head, took de-
liberate aim and fired. The shot
did the work and Mr.. Keck brought
the snake home to show all his
