Prof. R. w. Douthat, of Bar.
louisville College w. Va, would
about fit the executive chair at
the University, say several local
papers. Where is Barb6ursyille
College Pts the question asked by
several others, while a very
modest one remarks that it hopes
that the regents will not do
that. We are not acquainted
with Mr.. Douthat, and have heard
but little of the Barboursville
school. We hope no mistake will
be made in selecting a President
for the University, and the man
whom we ought to get, will. no
doubt, be found with plenty of
work before him in some leading
college of the country. Good
college presidents are generally
kept busy.
How changed some places
about town appear just now.
The room in which John Nc
Donald sold whisky and which

saloon of Main street, is now a
fairy like ice cream and oyster
parlor with lace curtains, pretty
sideboards and AIR of morality.

becoming quite a popular res
taurant. Another place with a
similar history is the room in
the Irwin block, opposite the
TELEGRAM Office, where was
kept a saloon for several years
This place Is now a meat market,
