our farmers are getting ready for the

1t is certainly mistake for this pious
government Of ours to send Dyrenforth
down to Texas to make rain storms to
be let spend their fury on our people.
1t might be well enough to punish the
democrats down in Texas where there
is scarcely any thing else, but up here
we have quite u number who believe
the "Tariff is not tax, !" and they have
to suffer from billiards the same as the
raseally democrats, and while the theory
may be good the practice is all wrong.

he must be arrested. fined and prob

out how they failed to elect their COVER

did not carry one democratic state. can
not but sympathize with friend Morgan
in the loss of those States and failing &c
carry New York, too. Its an old sumner
but they have to take the medicine if il
is little strong.
Lordy, arn't they quiet about Iowa ?

the election and they had not reserved

news at the time the pressure would
have been too much for them. | notice

running backward somewhat, but never

Contract Let.

AT the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the University held
last week the contract for the cree
tion of the mechanical hall was
awarded to Huston d Domain for
$4,000; the building to be completed
by July 1st, 1892. The students who
attend the University next year will
be given the opportunity of learning
useful trades and ofapplying the text
book rules in mechanics. West Vir-
ginia young men who have brains
and desire to become skilled me-
chanics, and not to pass through life
as COOLERS can enter the mechanic
arts department and graduate as
skilled mechanics. The apprentice
system has long been done away with
by the founding of industrial schools
III nearly all of the states of the
union. New machinery will be ad-
ded from year to year and it will not
be long until this department of the
University will compare favorably
with any in the country.

Electric Light.

The Morgantown Electric Light
and Power Company has obtained its
charter, completed its organization
obtained from the Town Council au-
thority to operate, and will at once
proceed to put in its plant.
An iron building will probably be
erected at some suitable point. the
machinery purchased, and the wires
Will then be run to any point where
the light is desired.
One of the advantages of electric
light over gas is that it requires ne
pipes, or costly plumbing, or tearing
up of floors or damage to dwellings.
The running of a wire to any point
in building is a matter of small
labor and expense 1t is the custom
ofelectric companies to put in a light,
furnishing lamp and everything, at
charge of about $3.50. The lamp
is guaranteed for 600 hours contin
uous burning; or practically for three
months. For ordinary use it will
last much longer, but the company
will make it good if it lasts less than
that time.
OF course the Morgantown com
pany has not yet fixed schedule of
charges. As rule the charges are
somewhat in excess of those for gas,
because electric light is always pre-
ferred to gas, and people are willing
to pay more. We do not know that
there has been any general demand
for electric light in this town but
nevertheless, when it is once avail
able nearly everybody will want it
because of its infinite superiority
over every other light There is moth
ing that can compete with it in this
respect, and wherever it has been in
troduced, gas has had to go. Our
people, like every other people want
the best, and Morgantown is to be
congratulated in the prospect of soon
having this additional luxury to
make this town one of the most de-
sirable, comfortable and healthful
places to live within the bounds of
the State.

Unique Thanksgiving Exercises by
School Boys and Girls.

The scholars in Miss SADIE Coli s
room at the High School held
Thanksgiving exercises, commencing
at 2 P. NJ. Thanksgiving Day. Miss
SADIE is always looking after the
| pleasure and welfare of the boys and
girls entrusted to her care and the
| Thanksgiving exercises were hap
Ply innovation. The room was beau
tifully decorated and on entering
such a bower Of beauty and being
surrounded by so many happy and
bright faces a thanksgiving involun-
tarily came from the hearts of all.
Papers on the origin of the custom
of appointing a day of general
Thanksgiving and the manner in
which our forefathers spent the day
were read by the pupils. There were
no original performances but the pa
pers and declarations were carefully
selected and interesting throughout
| Each Of the scholars had brought
with him a portion of the repast pre-
pared at their home for the Thanks,
| giving dinner and the array of tempt
ing dishes was well worth visit,
that is if one was not hungry for
they were not prepared for ban
quet but to be donated to whoever
the scholars should select as the
happy recipients. Aunt Sophia Clark
an aged deserving colored woman
and Aaron Smith, the janitor, were
decided upon after a brief consulta-
tion. The entire school headed by
Miss Coil, and every one loaded down
with fruit, turkey, pies, cakes and
in fact, everything that would tickle
the palate of an epieure marched to
Aunt Sephia's home and the sight of
so many bright eyed "chiluns who's
papas and mammas ize nussed
thousan times comm fro de door
with stacks of good things in dar
pretty arms made dis old heart
thank de good Lawd for lewin' me to
libe to see this day" Aaron has
been sick for some time and many
delicate and tempting dishes were
sent to him. This lesson of kind
ness taught the children will in years
to come bear good fruit, and through
acts of love and charity performed
by them many sad heart will be
made glad, and Miss Coil will have
her reward.

An English Lady Comes to Morgantown
to Reside.

Mrs. Ellen Marshall, whose hus-
band recently died in England, sail
ed from Glasgow November II, and
landed at New York on the o. She
arrived in Morgantown on the oath
and was met by Rev. Edward Price
on behalf of himself and William
Price, her half brothers and Robert
and John Powell, her full brothers,
who have encouraged her to come to
this goodly land to spend the even
ing of life, with them and this good
people. She is delighted with the
beautiful scenery of mountain and
valley, river and rill, cabin and cost
ly mansion.
But so kind were the officers of the
vessel and her fellow passengers on
her long journey in her-crippled and
weary loneliness, that she says she
esteems the people higher even than
the country. And especially to our
good friend Capt. Walker who cheer
ed her and kindly assisted her to the

The death of our mother caused
our separation until this time; then
she was about 6 years old. Now she
is SO. She says l carried her to
church and Sunday school and she
remembers well the prayer her moth
er taught her. She has committed
to memory 1853 choice hymns and
psalms that she can jeyfully repeat.
She can feel herself daily improv
ing from the bruises occasloned by
the rolling of the vessel on the bill
lews Of the Atlantic.
On Thanksgiving morning we went
by her request to the house of God
in this land of our adoption, and
there mingled our prayers and our
thanksgivings with other devout wor-
shippers in "the land of the free and
the home of the brave" not forget
ting that Righteousness exalteth a
nation and that sin is reproach to
any people"
We listened with pleasure and prof
it to the excellent sermon delivered
by Rev. Ross Ward of the Baptist
church, rejoicing that God is no re-
spector of persons, but that in every
nation be that feareth God and work
eth righteousness is accepted of Him.

giving dinner was prepared by the

came to us from our sense of Gods
overriding providence and watchful-
ness over us. E.P.
