Rain is plentiful and vegetation is
making rapid growth, the greatest
trouble being to keep down the weeds

is not going TO be such a large crop of
apples as supposed few weeks ago.
So many are falling off that many Of
the trees appear to have almost none
on them,

A Valued Souvenir,

About Selling Wool,

1t is understood that the wool
dealers in this county will follow
those of Harrison and Lewis and buy
only unwashed wool. They say
they are forced to this. Every
farmer has different way of wash
ing his sheep. Some are well wash
ed and some otherwise. All want
the same price. The shrinkage in
washed wool has been ruinous to the
dealer as well as to the manufacture
er. If wool is well washed it brings
no more per fleece than if unwashed.
Why abuse your sheep and lose your
time washing? 1t is the manufact-
urer's business to clean his wool.
Let him do it, Sell in the grease
and keep the lambs growing.-Fair-
mont Vest Vtrginian.

Gard of Thanks,

To our many kind friends in Nor
gantown and surrounding country,
Iwish to tender my heart felt thanks
for their very many acts of kindness,
and tender expressions of sympathy,
through the dark days of our Attic
ton and bereavement. From friends,
some of whom were known to US, but
many were unknown, we received
donations at different times. of use
full articles, including money from
known and unknown donors. Be
assured, dear friends, that our graft
tude is too deep for expression in
words. Many were the blessings of
God invoked upon you by my dear
sainted wife, whose prayers on earth
have ended in everlasting praise in
heaven. Our sister, Mrs. DR.. Lowther,
of Elizabeth, w. Va. who remained
with US through the ordeal. and &C
companied us to the interment in the
home cemetery, wishes to record her
sincere appreciation of, and thanks
for the kindness of friends to her
during her visit in Morgantown.
We will cherish you all, dear friends,
in grateful and prayerful memory.
The sun beams of your sympathy
have often pierced the dark cloud of
our sorrow, and given something of
respite in the stress of grief and
anxiety in which our hearts have
been held so long How we long to
share with you the deep lessons of
Gods grace which He has vouch-
safed to our sorrow, and discipline of
grief AS never before, have we
realized how His strength is made
perfect in weakness, and how His
grace is sufficient; not only in the
succor of the fainting heart in sore
trial, but even in triumphs of faith
amid the last shadows.
Affectionately
Your brother in sorrow,
d. III. DAVIS.

The above name will be recognized
by many Of the older residents OF
Monongalia. And we can say that
Mr.. Myres remembers very affection
ately many of them. 1t was the priv
ilegs of representative of the New
DOMINION short time ago to spend
a day in Denver and his good fortune
to be the guest of the above gentle
man and his family. He is happily
married, has an interesting family
and an elegant home. Something
over thirty years ago Mr.. Myres
learned the carpenters trade which
be followed faithfully, as he did ey-
erything else, while engaged in it.
He worked for time with our fellow
citizen VIM. Simpson about whom
he bad much to say. Inquiries were
showered upon US concerning Mr..
Keck, j. j. Wharton, the Yeagers,
the Millers and in fact nearly all
the residents of Cass district.
About the beginning of the war
Mr.. Myres went from here to the
Writ county oil field in this state
when the excitement was at it's
height. He went into merchandiz-
ing there and accumulated several
thousands ofdollars. The section in
which he lived was invaded by both
armies and nearly all his property
was destroyed. Not discouraged he
again went to work with re-
newed vigor and soon had another
stake of $4,000. With this he start
ed west and located in Colorado,
driving an OK team across the plains
from St. Joseph, Missouri, which was
then the farthest point west reach
ed by rail. Here he went to gold
mining but met with Indifferent sue
cess, though he still continued the
mercantile business, Some years
later when Denver was in it's infancy
he located in that place and invested
heavily in real estate. This was a
"ten strike" for Mr.. Myres. The
city grew steadily and now is one of
the finest and most prosperous cities
on the continent. Here his invest
ments grew and still grow, until to-
day he has a half million dollars
worth of desirable property. He
lives in splendid home surrounded
by all the luxury Of modern life and
is as happy as a king.IAn no one more
richly deserves this than he. He has
lived temperate and frugal life; is
an honest and honorable man-and
has accomplished just what his early
associates thought he would. Mr..
Myres is always glad to see any old
Monongalia friends and he entertains
them in princely style. Long may
he wave.

JOHN DAVIS did think he was in

Probably he doesn't think so now.

AFTER numerous overtures and

The wheels began to turn again on

WE HAVE just received Experiment
Station Bulletin %, ILLUSTRATED
Descriptive List Of the Weeds of
West Virginia" by DIR. C. Millspaugh
which is undoubtedly one of the
most valuable documents issued by
the Station. Forty-o one Of the cuts
are from drawings made by the au-
thor, which clearly illustrate the
characteristic features of the differ
ent classes of weeds. Two hundred
weeds are clearly and plainly de-
scribed in the original and interest
ing style of the author. The differ
ent common names by which the
weeds are known are given, together
with the correct scientific name of
each; methods of dealing with the
pests are noted, and what will be of
interest and value to every one is the
mention in connection with each
weed Of the diseases of man and
beast for which it has been used and
recommended by his correspondents
and sanctioned by his own extensive
knowledge as practicing physician.

Last Saturday, beginning at one
O. clock in the afternoon, the various
voting precincts of Monongalia got
ready to again record the battle of
ballots which usually decides who
shall control the destinies of the
county SO far as her public Offices are
concerned. In West Virginia there
are more Democratic primaries held
than Republican, because there are
more Democratic counties, and in
them the primary results are usually
accepted as final for the Democrats.
In Monongalia there is a reversal of
the order, and the Republicans hold
the primaries, and they usually get
the offices, but we'll see about that
later.
The voting began, as stated abyys
at one o'clock in the afternoon, and
until the sun had gone behind Keck's
hill the polls were open in Morgan
town, and till about the same time
Of day at the other voting places.
The candidates were for the most
part in town that day. Later events
show that it would have been money
in their clothes to have attended to
the corn, which is badly needing the
nursing of pillow and hoe. But they
came to town, not all of them, of
course, but a great many.
There was no excitement incident
to the election at any point except at
Mooresville, where Baker and Davis
both had come to meet the boys and
carry the precinct. Davis seemed to
rely on his Democratic following
there, but it seems that Democrats
don't vote in the primary. Probably
Baker was there to watch Davis.
But figures speaker louder than
words in these piping times of peace,
the conflict being over, therefore we
give below the total vote cast for
each candidate in the county, mark
ing the names of such men as re-
ceived nominations with y.
