How about that concert for tn
benefit of the Johnstown sufferers.
The pedagogues are with US ant
to every one we say thrice welcome
Who is it that says we will not hav'
water works in the clear and visible
future?
CONE in and see us,ye who instruc
the young idea how to shoot, an(
see how an enterprising newspapel
Office is conducted.
CoURr adjourned for commence
ment, wonder if it will for the circus
Judge Hagans we know, would lik'
to see the animals.
JUsTUs II. RATHBoNE, of Washing
ton, DC, the founder of the Knights
of Pythias, will lecture in this place
July l, on Pythian Knighthood.
The small boy is counting the days
to the Fourth of July and likewise
if he be of an economic turn of mind
saving up his pennies for patriotic
sacrifice.
The contract has been let for the
removal of the Hulings Mill at Point
Marion to a point in this State, neal
here, the exact location not having
been decided on.
WHERE were the lab de dab and al
together aesthetic and dudified young
men who "signed" the night of the
ladies' reception? They were there
in great shape, of course.
The corn crop in the county is
slightly damaged by the recent
heavy and continued rains, but the
prospects for wheat and hay are
more fattering than usual.
AND now it is proper to imagine
that you can hear the musical CUR
gle gurgle of the pure mountain wa
ter as it runs through the spigots. 1t
looks quite Gifted to see the mains
being put under the ground
The County Court has made the
order that the road past the Expert
ment Station shall be repaired. OF
all things eminently proper none
were more so than that order. The
road now is simply disgraceful and
all are glad that repairs are to be
made to it,
A lodge of the Knights of Pythias
is to be instituted at Fairmont on
the 26 inst, and those who propose
joining are among the very best
young men there. A great majority
of the Knights Of this place will at
tend the institution and see the
Mountain City boys play horse with
the friskey goat.
The Knights of Pythias sent more
money to theJ ohnstown brothersthan
any other order sent to theirs. The
Knights all over the land should be
proud of this fact, as it shows truly
that they are living up to the princi-
pies on which the noble order is
founded, those of Friendship, Char
ity and Benevolence."
LITTLE Tom SMITH is a free boy to-
day, out of the cooler just in time to
see the circus. "Tiddle's" sentence
was made to extend past Commence
ment, and if the court in his wisdom
could have foreseen the circus com
ing day it would have done the
youngster great grief, for in that
case the sentence would surely have
lasted for at least another day, as it
should have done.
THERE was bogus program gotten
up last week to distribute before
commencement day. 1t was printed
in Clarksburg, and the senior class
and the M. A. S. O. were dealt with
uncomplimentarily. 1t is our pleas
ing duty to state, however, that the
programs never got abroad. 1t is
time that quitus was put on such
nonsense and we're glad that the
getters up of it failed in their por-
pose this commencement.
WE LEARN from very reliable au-
thority that at no distant day our
friend M. L. Hutchinson, of Smith
town, is to enjoy the blessings of a
benedictine existence. His bride
will be handsome, educated, cultur-
ed and popular society lady of Har-
rison county. Mel.is one of our best
young men. We rejoice in his &C
ton and hope that when he does take
his "Post' matrimonial he may new
err desert it.
BY THE scientific treatment which
our physicians administered coupled
with the timely manifesto issued by
the Board of Health, scarlet fever is
completely exterminated in Morgan
town and loving parents are no long
er observing private quarantine,
but the little ones are allowed to
play with each other to their hearts
content. For a while there was every
danger of spread of the disease, and
il affords us great pleasure to now
state that all such danger is past in
this town.
ALREADY we have heard several
Young ladies from different parts OF
the county say that they will enter
the University next fall. We sup
pose the other counties Of the state
have ladies who propose doing the
same thing. The attendance at the
University of young ladies will be
larger than at first supposed for the
first year, fact which every West
Virginian should be proud of, as
there is now afforded superior adj
vantages for education to our girls
Let there be 200 of them next fall
THE 10Th day of August, this year
will mark the second anniversary Of
the death of the Black Bottle. On
that memorable day Tenant q
johnson knocked her in the head
and, poor thing, she died. Now
why.should not the mourners of hel
demise make arrangements to have
decoration exercises this year, that
to establish precedent to be ever
lastingly observed? There are 6
few, however, who even yet think the
Black Bottle is only playing possum
and will awake some day and pro
coed to where she started. The
Lord grant it.
The farmers of Monongalia are
showing good sense in paying great
attention to raising fine well-bred
horses. This interest in good horse
flesh was not so great some years
ago, and now it has grown to such
an extent that the raising of scrut
