A Fine Lot Of Cattle.

A short time ago Mr.. Alex. T.
Hess, Of Grant district shipped his
herd of cattle of the current year to
Philadelphia where be sold them at
the top Of the market, the larger
part of them being taken by an ex-
porter who shipped them to England.
There were fifty head averaging in
weight something over l 400 pounds.
Mr.. Hess has now on his farm fifty
head more that will be ready for
next years market. This lot will
at least equal if not surpass the 9th
er. Some of Mr.. Hess's friends are
urging him to take this herd to
Liverpool himself next fall, and we
learn that he will probably do so.
This is the kind OF stock this gentle
man always keeps. He always has
the best, whether cattle hogs or
horses. On the whole he is one of
our leading farmers and is an excel
lent man.

A temporary hospital is to be built
near the Big Survey, in Clinton dis
trict, where tho little ones Of the
MANY poor families who are affected
wish diphtheria are to receive the
care, attention and medical treat
ment necessary.
Diphtheria with all the vengeance
possible for that dread disease, has
for some time been raging in that
part of the country and to its ravages
the lives of many children have with
in the past few days been sacrificed.
The inhabitants Of that section are
for the most part poor, few in pow
erty even, and live in houses with no
windows no ventilation, in fact none
of the sanitary conditions demanded
for the successful treatment of the
epidemic obtain, and as a result
the lives of many little ones have
gone out from the earth. The heads
of these house holds do their best
for their flesh and blood, but as a
usual thing when both parents are
not busily engaged in the com
bat for existence the means of sub
sistence are lacking. These plain,
honest mountain folks must either
work or starve, and with housefull
of sick children their pitiable condi-
ton will be readily appreciated.
They saw their little ones dying of,
one by one, and were almost driven
to the point of desperation in their
grief and inability to cope with the
monster diphtheria. Our physi-
clans soon became cognizant of the
terrible state of affairs and Were at
once ready with gratis attention to
aid. Through them the deplorable
condition of affairs was reported to
the county court at its recent session
and it was recommended to that
body to have erected at some point
in the afflicted district, near the res
idence Of Barnett Burns, large,
light, well-ventilated hospital where
suffering children could receive care
full nursing and constant medical
attention. The court acted on the
proposition with alacrity and with
a munificent charitableness that
will surely prove adequate to the ac-
tual demands of the sufferers. The
building is to be paid for by the
court, with instructions that the
Board of Health should not regard
expenses, but do all that is needed.
Food and medicine will also be paid
for out Of the county treasury.
Now a gallant fight for relief Of
the afflicted will be waged. The
spread of the disease has already
been remarkable, and all those far
and near who cannot afford the COM
fort and attention required for the
cure of patients will be offered the
shelter and care of the hospital.
The court is to be commended for
its prompt action in this matter. 1t
has provided means of relief which
we are confident will bring upon the
devoted heads of the members the
righteous blessings of scores of fami-
lies.

The Coming Entertainment.

Everything now points to most
successful presentation of the ever
popular drama of Among the Break
ers,' which is to be'given at Academy
Hall on the evening of Dec. 10, that
is to say, Thursday evening of next
week. The plot of the play is in
deed well conceived, showing how
false impressions will cause misery
to many lives and how honest con
fessions clear away all calumny
and make the turbulent serene;
shows up also the Irish and negro
characters in good but not exagger-
ated form, and the high society bus
mess and the $50 romantic" murmur
is done in the highest stage of aes-
thetic perfection. Embracing as it
does these various phases of life its
interest to the audience cannot be
other than great. In the dramatis
persona the selections have been
made to bring out with the fullest
force the characters assigned each
individual and it will be seen that
they have been chosen as exact fits
for their particular parts Hence,
everything is lovely with the
Among the Breakers" projectors,
and Thursday night of next week
will surely witness the finest kind of
time at old Academy Hall, when
the bald headed row will be in a
gratifed and amusing stew and the
other people Of the house kept in
the pleasantest kind of a mood.

The NHite Cornet."

Bert FL. Hite leaves next Monday
for Cincinnati where he will super.
intend the manufacture Of the new
cornet he has recently patented.
This new 'Hite eornet" is the only
horn that has what is known in mu-
steal literature as clear bore For
years have different inventors at
tempted this improvement, but with
out success. Mr.. Hite has been
working on it for some years and
has at last perfected it. All the
scientific papers of the country have
given full explanations of it and
have been loud in their praise of our
young musician and inventor. He
has made an arrangement with a
Cincinnati factory for the exclusive
manufacture of the new instrument.
1t is said that his fortune is made
from this one invention. Musical
men have discussed the "Hite cor
metz and are confident that it will
cause a revolution in instruments of
that kind and be adopted universally
on account of the "clear BORE"
which does away with so much of the
effort necessary to make "tone."
Hence it will be seen that the sales
will be extensive enough for the
royalties to net Mr. Hite handsome
income.
Bert H. Hite is one of our best
young men and also one of our best
musicians. When quite young he
was cornetist above the average
and has accomplished proficiency on
several other instruments. He will
graduate from the University next
June

Sam Pickenpaugh's House Warming.

Such a send-off as was given Sam
at his new shop last Friday evening
is seldom seen these days, and that
genial bachelor may well feel proud
of the gay event accorded in his hon
or. At s O'Clock people began to
arrive at the building. The lower
floor was arranged and prepared for
dancing, the broad surface of the
floor being well waxed and temporary
seats provided around the sides. The
lunch, the choicest imaginable, was
served on the second floor, under the
supervision of the ladies..of the, Episco
pal church. The walters were taken
from the same ranks. This was the
first call of the season for the select
ones who comprise the creme de la
creme of Morgantown to assemble,
and right royalty did they respond
to the call. Couple after couple ar
rived at the place and upstairs was
arranged the dressing room, from
which soon they emerged again a
regular panorama of beauty, the
ladies having DOTTED their outer
wraps and we're arrayed in their par
ty costumes. Such variety oflove-
ly ladies, in such exquisitely fashion
ed gowns, ofso many colors, dazzled
the vision and intoxicated the senses,
as they came into the lower room es-
corted by the gallants who are always
selected to make "a social event in
Morgantown successful and others
who were just making their first &C.
quaintance.with gilded gayety as it
were. From the time of the first de-
licious bars from Prof. Protzman's
orchestra until p. m. there was
hardly a cessation, except for lunch,
of the dizzp, may whirl of light feet
upon the smooth floor. "How nice
ly our girls Dance" was a common
remark on the side of the gentlemen
and the ladies paid the gents the
same compliment many times. Good
natured, congenial was that crowd !;
pleasure seemed to be the watch
word and most tenaciously was it
adhered to by all. In the grand
march, 50 couples participated and
went through the various manoevers
of that opening formality, then
breaking into waltz. The pro-
gram comprized most of the old and
all of the new dances. The host was
the picture of happiness through all.
Though, hisIonly achievement in mat
tiers Terpsichorean is to "dance
Tucker" his ardor was not dampen-
ed in the least on that account, as
there was fun, good solid fun going
on everywhere and Sam was in the
thickest of the fry. His good ma
ture shone out from his beaming
countenance and looks at him being
good for the soul, also served to slim
ulate the others to entering into the
festivities the heartier.
But all earthly good times must
of needs come to a close. This event
closed at late hour and marked
one of the happiest, gayest times it
has ever been the pleasure of viva
cious Morgantown crowd to indulge
in. The memories of that time will
keep green for many long day and
Sam will smile for months at its
pleasant recollections.
