Deputy Whites Nerve Under Painful
Operation.

PARKERsBuRG, W. VA, June 49,
Deputy U. S. Marshall Will White
underwent surgical operation this
morning in which he showed that so
far as nerve and courage go he is
certainly well fitted for his position
as hunter of evil doors. DIR A. N.
Frame removed from Whites neck a
large tumor which lay in dangerous
proximity to the jugular vein. Dur
ing the entire process of cutting and
dissecting White sat cool and i'm
movable, showing scarcely the
twitching of muscle, and that
without taking any stimulant or an
aesthetic. The operation was sue
cessful in all its details, the sack con-
tanning the tumor being lifted out
entire.

Our Weather Signals.

A few days since by order of coun-
Gil thirty foot staff was placed on
the municipal building for the dis
play of weather signals from the off.
cial forecasts sent out daily from
the Office of the Chief Signal officer
at Washington city. Four flags
will be used: White flag, clear or
fair weather; blue flag, rain or
snow; black triangular flag, tenn
perature signal; white flag
with black square in centre, cold
wave. Interpretation of displays:
white flag alone indicates fair wealth
er, stationary temperature. White
flag, with black triangular flag be-
low it, indicates fair weather; colder.
Blue flag with black triangular flag
above it, indicates rain or snow
warmer. White flag, with white flag
with black square in centre below it,
indicates fair weather; cold wave.
Black triangular flag, with white
flag and blue flag below it, indi-
Gates warmer, fair weather, followed
by rain or snow.
Sergeant Turner will have charge
of the signals and the flags will be
put up at ga. M. The forecasts"
however are from s P. M. on the pre-
ceding evening and therefore you can
only rely on the weather up to P.
M. of the day the flags are put out.
1t would be better to put out the
flags in the evening for if a man
wants to go fishing he would be will
ing to climb the staff to find what his
chancesf or a ducking are if the gas
light did not show up the fagsplainly.
And think of the joy the pic nickers
would feel on finding that the NOR
row will be warmer, fair weather, fol-
lowed by rain or snow they could
start out joyfully with a fan in one
hand, and umbrella in the other and
a sled strapped on their back.

Ciyilizing Spruce Street.

The work of laying pavement on
the west side of Spruce street has
been begun. When finished it will
prove a civilizer to that side of the
street, as it has been to many other
neglected localities of the town. To
have one side of the prettiest street
in town lined with old tumble down
stables and filthy sheds is inexcusa-
BILE from any other standpoint.
These are choice and valuable build
ing sites. A pavement will bring
them into market. The old sheds
will gradually disappear, and comely
dwellings will take their places.
1t is now due to the denizens of
that street that it should be graded,
the Jumps taken down and the mud
holes filled up. In its present con-
dition it represents the original path
way of the pioneer without much i'm
provement. One end of it is yet un.
opened and altogether it is unsightly
in its appearance. 1t will be a good
investment for the town to put this
street in such condition as will line
it with tax payers its entire length.
And this will follow as q matter of
course as soon as the town does it's
duty.

He Had Struck a Blackberry Country.

speaking of blackberries," said
a good story teller the other day."
reminded me that our friend Joe
Moreland will have an opportunity
to fill his empty cans and tubs and

WELL" said he, "when Joe first
moved to Morgantown some fellew
fresh from the mountain knocked at
his door with bark basket full of
blackberries which he offered at "a
levy a gallon. Joe looked him over
and thought he was either a joker
or a fool. He did not want to be
made the victim of joke, and he did
not want to take advantage of fool
so he did not buy. But he told his
wife about it, and they became in
terested in blackberries. When the
next berry peddler hove in sight Joe
was again offered blackberries at "a
levy" a gallon. Then he became
excited. He ordered his wife to
empty all the vessels about the house
and the blackberry peddlers were
turned in one continuous procession
into Joe's back gate for the next
two days until all the empty space
about the house was filled with
blackberries. Then Joe. sat down
to congratulate himself that he had
taken advantage of the market and
laid in store of luscious fruit that
would enable him to live in luxury
at a nominal cost for two or three
years to come. But the blackberries
continued to come, and when Joe.
out of curiosity inquired the price
again they were "fpeny-bit'' gal
Ion, and drug at that. 1t is need
less to add that Joe. still thinks this
a very good blackberry country but
he has gone out of the wholesale bus
mess and confines himself entirely
to blackberries at retail.n
