IT WILL be not great while now
before the water will be here, and
then, gentlemen of the council, what

WITH water works, gas, best of
schools, good healthful surround
ings, navigation and railroad facili-
ties, beautiful place, good drives,
pleasant, social and hospitable peo-
pie, what better argument is needed
for Morgantown as a place of resi-
dence. The Importance of these
matters cannot and must not be lost
on the many strangers who each day
are in our midst. Talk, work and
do everything you can for your town
and let all know the points stated
above.
Next Friday afternoon the Insti-
tute closes and that evening there
will be general exodus of teachers
from Morgantown, and their depart
ures may make them sad, and it is
absolutely certain that sad hearts
will be left to mourn them, not as
dead, but as gone never to return.
The Institute was the cause of
bringing here many of those who
mingled in our social circles and
made mutual enjoyment for the resi-
dents and for themselves. We bid
all hearty welcome should they or
any of their number return.

case merits. Now friends don't
