he is a fellow whom | overheard
making some very unbecoming and
indecent remarks about a young
lady in another town, and when he
asked me to take his umbrella just

STuMprowN, April 2S.-Some OF our
farmers have planted corn, but most of
them expect to plant this week. Oats
are coming up nicely; those sowed in
March look quite green.
There are a few lambs in this section
that are not engaged to buyers yet.
We ought to have 40 cents for our
wool this spring, according to what the
Republicans said previous to Harrison's
election, but how will itbe? Why these
same fellows (the capitalists) are chuck
ling over how they've fooled the ignor-
ant classes by getting their votes for
Harrison, and now they with their
trusts, monoplies, etc, will receive the
cost OF each vote, and many dollars with
it as usury. This is protectionl We
have some as nice wool as there is in the
county and we would like to sell it to
Mr., Protection at the figures he prom
ised.
There is a heavy peach, cherry and
pear bloom, but only moderate apple
bloom. 1t is too soon to say what our
fruit crop will be, but it promises to be
a fair one
Mrs. George Lemley spent the past
week with Mr.. Lemley's father at this
place.
Although we are five miles from town

at work near here. We are very sorry
to hear of the loss of such an honorable
and historic building.

Something for the Girls to Do.

Next week will occur the annual
commencement at the High School,
and seven intelligent and brilliant
young ladies will receive diplomas
from the institution and perhaps
some Of them will debate in their
minds the walks they will take for
their journeys through life. 1t is a
pleasurable fact for US to note that
the avenues by which girls can pro-
cure remunerative employment are
more diversified than. ever before, so
that the girl having intellectual ca
pacity sufficient to pass through
the course of study of our public
school can easily qualify herself for
securing a liberal income for the
services she renders. Ofcourse these
young ladies will only take and pre-
pare themselves for such work as
shall be dignified and of a character
suited to their mental accomplish
ments. They give every assurance
Of capacity to fill the multiplying
stations of active labor to which
those of the gentler sex are being
called.
Never before were there so many
opportunities offered for the special
employment of women in places of
trust, Importance and dignity, and
it is a good thing that such is the
case, since the girl of independent
spirit is pushing to the front every
where as candidate for those posi-
tions which she is evidently quail
ged to fill and which are rapidly be-
ing evolved in the regular develop
ment of commercial activity.
The introduction of electricity and
it's manifold wonders of invention;
the appearance of the type writer
with its field of employment, the ex-
banding growth of occupations re:
quiring stenographic secretaries,
these and many other new lines of
work have been established so rapid
ly Of late, that it is difficult to find
the right kind of people to fill them.
And nearly all are especially suited
to the fair hands of woman and this
it is that should inspire the public
school graduate of to-day to fit her.
self as soon as possible for one of
these many positions. In whatever
she goes at, however, she should be
sure that she is thoroughly equipped
for the place she wants to fill. She
should not be satisfied with a partial
knowledge of anything she thinks of
putting her wits to. Nothing short
of mastery in any accomplishment
will bring her that reward which she
should seek and which by right
would come to her.
These high school graduates are
too intelligent these days for the
thought of getting married to be the
sole object of life's ambition, though
it is all right, in a way, and that be-
ing so they will show their real
worth by doing something for them
selves and learning that to graduate
from school is not the only qualifi-
cation necessary to meet the stern
realities of life. These girls will
make noble women of themselves,
and the way to do it is to do some
thing for themselves.

Union Service at the M. E. Church.
The people of Morgantown turned
out very generally on Tuesday
last to attend the Union ser
vice at the M. f. Church, which was
held in commemoration of the Cen
tennial of Washingtonis Inaugural
ton. The church had been taste
fully decorated with flowers and red,
white and blue bunting, which made
it Enthusiastically American. The ex-
ercises were opened by the orchestra
rendering a medley of our several
patriotic national airs, after which
followed scripture reading by Rev. Mr..
Buchanan. Prayer was then offered
by DR.. White. The addresses on
this occasion were made in regular
order by Revs. Buchanan, Reynolds
and White, each of whom made pa
triotic speeches appropriate to
the occasion. The day and the
grand object for which it was COM
memorated seemed to enter the very
soul of those present and it proved
to be grand ovation to the star
spapgled banner and the Father OF
our glorious country. This service
was one which will be remembered
as one which made all feel more
happy than ever that he is an Amer
lean freeman.

A Pointer for Enterprisiue citizens


The Grafton Eagle Sentinel says:
The young men are the bone and
sinew Of the land. II we want to
build up our State and bring about
greater prosperity, we must keep
our young men at home, and in or
der To do this we must offer them
such inducements to remain as will
overcome the attractions of other
sections. This is big, wide coun-
try of ours, but there is no section
of it that possesses greater advan-
tages than the State Of West Virgin
ia, and if our Young men can be in
duced to remain here and exert
proper energy they can do just as
well or better than they could do
elsewhere.

An Old Landmark Gone.

The old buildings on the corner of
Main and Peasants streets, for years
known as the Warren property, are
being leveled to the earth and now
the work of clearing away the debris
is in progress.
These were the property of the
late DR.. Charles McLane, who dur
ing his busy life occupied part of
it for his offices and rented the re-
mainder for dwelling purposes.
They are among the oldest if not the
oldest, in town. They have since the
death of DR.. McLane been the prop
erty of his children, DR.. Jos. A. Nc
Lane and Mrs. Isaiah Warren.
We understand that already some
fattering offers have been made for
the property. 1t is probable the
most desirable site for a business
building in town. Now. if some OF
those opera house projectors want
the best place they can make their
bids for the site.
