With this issue closes the pubIiea-

II
tions Of the West w. DAILY fol
1889. The enterprise proves 4 more
onerous one than was anticipated,
and to this extent the editors have
been unpleasantly but proftably dis
appointed. We have been disap-
pointed IN the alumni as a whole ow-
ing to their sloWness to patronize
an enterprise which is SO intimately
associated with their alma mater.
Several Of them have been prompt ID
their replies to circular letters sent
them, and d few furnished us with
interesting articles for publication.
Frank Snider, the worthy principal
of the Parkersburg High School ta
king the lead in this. But the great
majority Of them did not even sub
scribe to the DAILz to the extent Of
"a Is cent subscription. Unlike pre-
ts IS
Vious editors, we do not send them
papers and then present q bill, but
distribute the copies intended for
them among the various counties Of
the State for the good of the college.
The students have been very ready
to contribute to the columns
of the DAILY such locals
and personals as came within their
notice and % cents forsubscriptions.
The people Of MorgantoWn have
been liberal patrons, and showed q
generous spirit which, when we men
ton their names. will no doubt Sree-
ommend their generosity to the com
mendation Of every student and in
sure for them the hearty support Of
the W. ". y. in their business and
social relations to it as a college.
Space forbids the publication Of a
list Of the subscribers from the town,
but among those whom we can rec
ommend as the generous friends OF
the University and who are willing
to return value received, for the Gus

their business DEPARTMENTS; they

names we have forgotten. Especial
" do we call attention to the respec-
tive sizes Of their advertisements.
The genial physician and friend of
the students, DR.. Brock, cheerfully
contributed to the DAILY as a col
lege enterprise not wishing any ad.
We shall regard it just recpgni-
ton of the~1iberality. shown by quite
number of foreign ertiserS who
patronize the DAILY not as al per
sonal enterprise, but as belonging to
the college, if our readers will Icare-
fully note. the extent Of their patron.
age and the matter found in their
advertisement. This is but Justice
to a liberal class Of worthy patrons
Of the w. V. U. Several have sent
us without exchanging a word, as
much as half column. . Among
these are F. L. Nicely, J. W. John
son, Eldredge 4 Bro, Thos. Hughes,
Van Antwerp, Bragg Il Co., and
Leach, Shewells & Sanborn. Others
deserve little less credit. The edi-
tors have enlarged the DAILY to i z
column sheet, and print both stiles
at home. The work has cost ali put
$195, and probably predicts finan 5ial
success to the enterprise if all tbs
tom is good. AS to the literary
merits of the paper, we shall leave it
to others than inexperienced editors
to Judge. Permit us to say that all
matter handed us for publication
has been presented, and If it failed
to appear it was not the fault Of the
editors. "A few reports have been
very brief for their significance ewing
to the lateness of the exercises as re-
lated to the morroW's DAILY. The
Board of Regents, the students, the
kind people Of MorgantoWn, our for

worthy corps Of advertisers, and
