s'Woman the Link That Connects Man
With Angels"

The Eureka Lecture Course has
proved to be the most complimentary
and instructive series of entertain
ments given to the people of Morgan
town for many years; and while its
Inauguration has been attended with
more financial risk and personal re-
sponsibility to the originators than
was anticipated, no doubt, still we
feel safe in asserting that the young
men upon whose shoulders the exc
cution of the business part of the
course devolves, will feel amply paid
for their trouble if they come out
even, financially, for they have the
pleasure of knowing that all who
have attended feel well paid for their
investment, paid in way that is
eleyating and edifying to them.
To DR.. Tuner and Prof. Wiley
no doubt they feel most indebted for
encouragement in their enterprise,
the former not only having assisted
by opportune and what has since
proven very good suggestions as to
the speakers selected, but of his own
accord cheerfully subscribed $40 to
encourage the work. The latter for
his kindly consenting to be number
ed among the lecturers.
Mr.. Willey's lecture. the fourth of
the course, delivered the 21st ult.,
was truly gratifying success
Numbered as he was with men who
make the platform their professional
chair, and who have received the
plaudits of many thousands, and
preceded as he was by three of these,
doubtless the able Professor felt a
little distanced in advantage, but we
trust not in his ability to fill his
place, which he did most admirably.
From beginning to end he kept his
audience Zone of the best Of the
course) in pleasing and sympa-
thetic relation to the speaker, keep
ing constantly before them the
thought, There's a Woman In IT.
and better still for both speaker and
audience, the thought that "the Pro-
fessor's soul is in his performance.
Logical in his discussion, clear in
his reasoning, lucid in his illustra-
tions, apt in his historical citations,
Interpreting at we'll chosen inter
walls, seasonable and original wit and
humor; epigrammatic and severely
original in his thought, the speaker
could not but please all who enjoy a
literary feast. We can most heartily
recommend both speaker and lecture
to the most critical audiences before
whom he may appear.

her parent and friends my sympathy.
Long after the green turf which rests

All vain was thy sorrow, all fruitless
thy care,
Her Savior hath called her to regions

Business Mems Meeting Postponed.

Business Mems Meeting Postponed.
Owing to the fact that quite a
number of our most prominent bust
ness men were out of town Monday
the development meeting was post
poned until Thursday evening of
this week.
Hardly without exception the bus
mess men had signified their inten-
ton of attending the meeting and do
ing all that can be done and in their
power to do for the fntherance of the
development and boom which we
have been entertaining for our place.
Let the attendance be large on that
evening, all who have hoped and
prayed for our coming out of the
woods and possessed of the spirit OF
enterprise that results in the trans
formation of sleepy towns into -four
ishing cities being cordially invited.
No real boom can be successfully
inaugurated without the co-opera-
ton of the staunch business men,
and that's the kind we now have in
abundance and will do what we can
to bring more of them.
Everybody go to the meeting
Thursday evening and be identified
with those who will lead us to pros
perity, peace and plenty. Go and
talk and work for the towns boom.
At the court house Thursday night,
remember, and don't fail to be there.

How a Fayette County School Marin
Got $500 Per Dozen for Eggs.

=
The Connellsyille Courier tells
the following story of the tricks of a
female teacher of that county who is
evidently slick one:
On Friday Miss Kate King, teach
err of the Flint school, near Spring
field, came to town with four dozen
of eggs, which she took to the gro
Gerry department of Frisbee's store.
She received Is cents per dozen for
the eggs, buying pound of coffee
for "a cents and receiving credit
slip for the balance, SO cents. This
she took to the shoe department where
she bought pair of shoes for $2.75.
While the shoes were being wrapped
up she raised her credit slip to $4.36
by simply preflxing a dollar mark
and a figure A to the SO cents. She
gave the raised credit slip in pay
ment for her shoes and Clerk Jen-
nings believing it to be bona fide
gave her an additional credit of the
balance, which was $1.61. With
this she went into the dry goods de-
partment where she purchased a
dress and other articles to the
amount of $14.34. While negotiat-
ing this purchase she again raised
the amount of her credit slip, this
time making it $13.61. She already
had in her possession two bona fide
due bills aggregating IS cents. This
amount added to her forged credit
slip made total of $14.36 which she
offered in payment of her bill. Clerk
Hamilton insisted that she take the
two cents balance due her, saying he
would go to the office for it and be
back in minute. Miss King said
it made no difference, the amount be-
ing SO small. The amount of the
credit slips aroused Clerk Hamiltons
suspicion and while he was in the
Office investigating it Miss King
hurried from the store and mount
ing her horse rode. rapidly in the di-
rection of her mountain home. Con-
stable Frank Campbell took the case
in hand and brought Miss King to
town on Saturday. When confront
ed with the evidence of her forgery
Miss King was overwhelmed and
gladly compromised the case. Her
total purchases from the four dozens
Of eggs and the two small due bills
amounted to nearly $780, or at the
rate Of SIS per dozen for the eggs.

this matter. We want the boats and
we want the roads and the getting of

LAST fall there was a big ''hooray"
about new pavements and our people
lived in blissful anticipation of dry
feet for the winter, but disappoint-
ment being natural heritage it is
no exception as far as the pavements
are concerned. The brick pavements
on Main street are affected with the
ags, and ever an anon an innocent
inhahitant plants his foot firmly on
a brick this wet weather quart of
delicious and cool muddy water
squirts up his leg and the air around
becomes navy blue. Some of the ladies
fare the same way when saggy brick
is tackled, then the air assumes a
lovely azure tint with pink back
ground inIaid with sun flowers. We
were disappointed in some instances
about our improvements.
OuR young ladies are taking a
decided stand against society's late
edict, namely, that the hustle must
20 and still stick to them through
thick and thin. Of late the subject
has received much serious discussion
and finally been decided that fashion
should be defied in that, they would
continue to wear the beloved hustle.
We have not as yet heard OF any
ratification meetings being held in
support Of this very independent
move, but there has been a sufficient
concurrence to renew and continue
the bustle's popularity. This ac-
tion Of the young ladies Of this town
We can neither criticise nor condemn,

THE OPERA LAST NIGHT.
A MarVeIOusIy Successful Per.
fOrmance.

THE CITIZEN has ever held that Ashe.
vile possessed greater advantages, and
its people more diversified talents than
any city on the globe.
The performance of the Little Tycoon
last evening only served to add another
proof that THE CITIZEN is always correct
in its Judgment. We venture the opinion
that in no other city, large or small,
could such a performance be placed on
the boards by amateurs. In fact, we
heard the suggestion frequently made by
the delighted audience, that professionals
had been imported for the occasion, but
no. the sweet faces of our own North
Carolina girls gave an appropriate
| adornment to the sweetest Of singing,
and our own gallant boys stood bravely
forth as champions Of true love, and in
opposition to the cruel papa.
Of course, true love prevailed as it ever
has, ever will, and ever may it so prevail.
Lord Dolphin had our sympathy at the
happiness denied him, and Alvin Barry
our congratulations at the JOY he fully
deserved
Teddy was perfectly immense. If any
one in this section failed to see him last
night we urge such unfortunate one to
secure a ticket early this morning, as we
learn that extra trains will be required
to bring the throngs that will crowd the
opera house tonight.
We have never listened to so sweet a
voice as that of Miss DeRossett, of Will
mington, who took the leading part OF
Violet. Her singing of"Tell Me Daisy"
was exquisite, and brought rounds of ap-
plause, which she gracefully acknowl-
edged with that dear old Southern song
Way Down Upon the Suwanee River"
to the intense delight of all who heard
her
Space torbids us to comment upon the
admirable local hits of Gen. Knicker
booker and the marvellous display of the
Japanese craze; and in fact any person
who fails to see it tonight and Judge for
himself does not deserve our excellent de-
scription.
The delighted appreciation of the au-
dience was manifested by request that
a matinee be given this afternoon, but
the management were obliged to decline,
as this would so fatigue the young la
dies as to incapacitate them for the per-
formance in the evening.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October .-Wheat.-Thc
government crop report made public yes
terday, placing the yield per acre at 1913
bushels per acre, making an aggregate
Yield of about 495, 100000 hal the eff
feet of causing a very weak opening,
prices being 1Ac.a1Ac. below the close
of yesterday. The market did not act
strained yesterday, notwithstanding a
sharp advance, but traders then had
made a calculation on the report not
showing a crop of over about 455, 5,OOO,-
900 bushels. The more favorable show
ing of the report was disappointment
to the bulls, which caused general un-
loading of long" wheat, those who had
not sold yesterday being anxious to real
ize, and The decline was rapid. Especially
was the break from the close of the
change yesterday to the opening to-day
unfortunate to parties having stop limit
orders. The action of prominent local
trader, who bought very freely, presuma-
bly, to cover Shorts" did much to pre-
vent a further break in prices. The
market, for sometime, being quite pam
icky, there was less talk OF export bust
ness to-day. All wheat came on the
market, and the short" interest, it is
thought, is pretty well covered. Prices
declined to point 21gc. for December
and 21sc. for May, below yesterdays
outside or c'osng prices, and closed at
inside figures of the day.
A good business was transacted in
corn, and the feeling developed was cas-
ier, the bulk of trading being at lower
prices. The easier tone was attributed
In, Lao
market opened 1sc .aAc under good de-
mand from shorts, advanced Ac., reacted,
losing the advance, became firm and
closed shade lower than yesterday
The feature to-day was the narrowing of
the premium of May over nearer deiv-
cries. The government report would in
dicate an increase in the Weld of about
10000, 900 bushels of that one month
ago.
Oats were unsettled, with fair trading
in May but very little doing in other de-
liveries. The weakness in wheat had a
depressing effect, and under fair selling
prices for May declined Ha3sc. from yes
tcrday's close. Buying by prominent
operator, however, caused reaction of
l2c., and the market closed steady at lsc
below yesterday.
The provision trade was somewhat
teatureess in the open market. October
pork was traded in strongly at 1850;
general trading was slow. There were
II" large individual purchases; and prices
displayed an easier tendency. January
pork and November and January lard
suffered decline of 212c. October lard
and future short ribs were unchanged,
and November pork was sc. higher.
