DIR. Fullerton and wife desire to
convey their most cordial thanks to
their many friends who visited them
on Monday evening and for the
pleasant and enjoyable pounding
they received. Such expressions Of
good will and regard coming SO soon
after their arrival in Morgantown
are very delightful indeed, indica-
ting as they do the true spirit of ear
nest friendship and cooperation
and giving promise Of prosperity in
the church throughout the year upon
which we have just entered. DR.
Fullerton further says that his re.
ception and that of his family has
been in all respects full of encour-
agement to him, and kindness has
been received on every hand.

. The Scar and Yellow Leaf.

The forests are putting on their
fall colors. The meadows are grow
ing brown. The birds have disap-
peared. The boar frost bedecks the
shady hooks on the early morning.
The clouds have taken on leaden
hue. The air has in it the chill and
vigor of the fall season, and the
North breeze bears to us an occa-
sional emblem of winter in the snow
flake.
We are sorry to conclude that for
us the summer is past and the signs
of the season point to an early in
auguration of a bleak and long
drawn winter.
The Monongalia farmer will
soon find himself hedged in ON all
sides by from six to twelve inches OF
mud, and whether he will or not
must of necessity stick to his winter
quarters for at least six months to
come. The one consolation he has
this fall is the fact that his barn is
full and there will be no want OF
scarcity in his long seclusion.
But such isolation is not pleas
ant or profitable lot to contemplate
to an active or ambitious man. To
spend one-half a mans life time
hemmed in by mud and eating III
his substance in enforced idleness is
neither satisfactory nor commenda
bic. 1t ought not to be. 1t need
not be if the farmers would unite to
relieve themselves from such i'm
prisonment by establishing roads
that would serve for winter as well
as summer use.

An Interesting Collection of Seed.

Mr.. Joseph Allender who has just
returned home from the Paris Expo
sition and tour through several
European countries, left at this Of
flee yesterday small packages Of ten
different kinds of wheat raised in as
many different countries. They in
clude East India, Persia, Russia, Ire
land, England, Hungary and our
own California. There is also in the
collection English peas, Egyptian
beans and South American corn
The corn, however, does not compare
with the corn raised in the United
States. Some Of the varieties OF
wheat are very fine indeed and as
pretty as ever was seen. Mr.. Allen
der has directed us to place these
samples with some intelligent farmer
who desires to try them, the only
conditions being that he give them
careful culture with the view of i'm
proving the seed of the country. II
will be well worth the trial. Mr.
Allender secured the samples from
the collection of grains at the Paris
Exposition.

Circuit Court.

The regular term of court was
opened on Tuesday of this week,
with Judge L. Perry Jacobs on the
bench. Judge Jacobs is a former
Morgantowner, son of Squire Cephas
Jacobs, and this opening Of court
was the cause of much interest to
his many Monongalia friends His
charge to the grand jury, the en-
panneling of which was the first
business of the court, was delivered
in thoroughly legal, eloquent and
comprehensive manner. George w.
Laishley was sworn as foreman of
the grand jury. The formal pro-
ceedings Of empanneling the two
Juries took most of the first day and
the real business of the court did
not begin actively until this morn
ing. The number of cases to be
tried at this session is greater than
usual, and for that reason the SEES
sion is likely to continue for sever
al weeks.

No More Shiugle Roofs.

The Council of this town believes
in the maxim of the long ago about
stitch in time, DC. In their care
for the property of these whose nun
icipal affairs they represent they
have in an ordinance taken a pre-
cautionary movement in regard to
the safety of houses from fire, the
effect of the measure being that to
hereafter place shingles upon houses
is an offence against the law Of the
municipality, and that a shingle
roof can only be repaired over an
area of feet square. Roofs from
now on must be of tin or other sub
stance than shingle. Sparks from a
fire may cause an old shingle roof to
ignite and therefore when we have
one fire there is imminent danger of
others. In the matter of expense
other materials are as cheap as shin
giles. and on the whole the provision
is a wise one.

higher elevation and we are made
important to the folks down the
way2 Shall that day come to hand
and pass into history unobserved
and unnoticed by those who will
reap the rich harvests of greater
prosperity by the coming Of that
day? No; in the historical line
there will be reason to record thai
the enthusiasm of our populac'
burst all bounds and made that day
one of the grandest ever noted il
our annals. Surely there will be ,
celebration and right regal cele
bration, too.

1t is a settled fact that we are to
have a gymnasium. No feature of
education is so much neglected in
our schools. Sallow compilations,
bony hands, fimsy muscles, darkly
encircled eyes, and many other evils
of sendentary life will disappear on
the introduction of this much need
ed reform in our physical habits.
Especially is this demanded since
ladies are admitted to our classes,
for their sense of proprietys though
false it often be, will dep i've them OF
needed exercise which they would
take under other circumstances,
But will special rooms be set apart
for them is new query. Possibly
the authorities have forgotten our
dear sisters.
