A DRUNKEN man entered a grocery
store at Wheeling Thursday and
asked for cigars, the proprietor
showed him some tips and tobies.
The customer asked if he had any
thing better and on being told that
he had not jerked out revolver and
sent bullet whizzing past the gro
ceryman's head after which he made
good his escape. The question now
is should or should not the man who
offers another Wheeling toby be
shot?
WE thought that every young
man in town had out grown the idea
that it was manly to be considered
tough! But there are yet two or
three of that stamp with us. A few
draughts of tangle foot is sufficient
to cause them to believe that they
can insult and knock down decent |
and inoffensive people on the sup
posed, slightest provocation. A
good sound thrashing or few days
in the cooler will doubtless disabuse
their befuddled brains of this erro-
neous idea.
THANKSGIVING day was observed
in Morgantown in a very quiet man
ner, most of the stores were closed
and work of all kinds suspended A
great many of our people were out of
town visiting friends and those who
remained at home spent the day
with their families, there being
many happy reunions and elegant
dinners. Union services were held
in the Presbyterian Church. Rev.
Davis, Rev. Buchanan, Rev. Hunter
and Rev. Day occupied seats in the
pulpit and took part in the services.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
Ross Ward, Of the Baptist Church.
1t was brilliant discourse and was
attentitively listened to by the au-
aience. In the evening the streets
were deserted and Sunday air pre-
vailed. The people seemed to be
with the true spirit of the
day, that of thanksgiving, and had
it been Sabbath day the quietness
would not have been more marked.
JOSIAH RANDALL was in town few
days ago and tells good one on one
Of the young men who is at his place
hunting. The " m. was about five
hundred yards from the house
along through the snow
when those in the house were star
tied by yells that would have done
credit to a Piute and on looking out
saw the y. m. making for the house
Gaping over stone piles and franti-
,ally waving his hat and gun. AT
5er recovering his wind he informed
,he crowd that he discovered what
to be deer track. Josiah
accompanied him to the spot and
told him that sure enough he was
right. The y. m. Immediately strap
ped on an army navy, stuck butcher
knife in his belt, put ten extra buck
shot and three mails in his "bazzoo"
and started on the trail which led
him through the valleys, up the
side, among boulders and
amid thickets of laurel and aromatic
'sassafrac." Throughout the day he
nobly kept his eye on the track and
at last near sun down reached the
goal of his ambition and desires.
The trail had led him back to small
thicket in the rear of Josiah abode
from whence he started hours before,
and there standing metionless was
The game. Hequickly lifted his gun
and bis bright eyes caught the sight
with lightning rapidity, deafening
report rang out on the still air of the
cleaning and was followed by the
heart rending wall of a stuck pig, for
Josiah's old SOW had gotten Il ten
penny nail through her left ear For

Jooaph or Erod Darino but don,t
