elect an 1894 Council. Sleepy peo-

OVER two hundred people from
Morgantown and Monongalia county
have visited the Worlds Fair. Mon
ongalians always keep up with the
procession.
AT Fairmont they arrest tramps
and try to make them work on the
streets. The tramps after boarding
a day or two usually outwit the Off.
GERS and leave town.
WHAT is the council doing? II
doing much, it is not apparent to a
casual observer. In fact, it is doubt
full if microscopical examination
by an expert would disclose more
than dormant progress.
THE subject of the sermon in the
M. E. church on Sunday evening
next will be Conference After
thoughts" 1t is unnecessary to say
that some very practical lessons will
be contained in the discourse. It
will be well worth hearing.
Mr.. PRINKEY, living near King
wood, who will be remembered as
having been robbed by the Cooley
gang, had his large barn with all it's
contents, including much grain and
machinery, burned by lightning one
night last week during a heavy storm.
CIRCUIT court will begin the sec
ond Tuesday in October. The Blair
case will be the leading one. The
two men in Jail accused of burglar
izing stores in Clinton district have
confessed to the Prosecuting Atlor-
ney 1t promises to be a rather dry
term.
Born to Mr.. and Mrs. 4. F. Yost,
at Pontiac, Illinois, on Sept. 10th, a
nine pound daughter. Mother and
daughter doing nicely. This is the
second daughter, one being born on
the wedding anniversary of its par
ents and the other on its mothers
birthday.
MoRGANTowN has sent twice as
many visitors to the Worlds Fair as
any other town of equal size in the
State. Morgantown people are noted
for travelling and there is probably
not a town in this country whose
citizens as class know more about
the world.
If the republicans hold conven-
tion before the next town election
the candidates will not win in walk
or at all, unless they are ''up to date
in every important particular. A
of our citizens are convinc
ed that politics have no proper place
in such an election.
A Mrs. DAVIDSON, claiming to be
a niece of the great Confederate gen
eral, "Stonewall" jackson, has been
visiting the people of the towns along
the Ohio river below Parkersburg.
She has taken French leave on sever
al occasions, and always leaves be-
hind an unpaid board bill.
The Governor has commissioned
the following notaries public: Thos.
b. Gaughan, of Marion county; A.
w. Powell, of Peasants county;
Charles Hamilton, Jr., of Ohio coun-
ty; G. A. Hatfield, of Logan county;
II. r. Warfield, of Randolph county,
and John Gregg, of Harrison county
RACHEL BARNHART, in Jail at Mar
tinsburg for burglary. escaped the
other night by blowing out the lamp
in the hands of the keeper, leaving
him to grope his way out in the dark,
while she darted out like ghost,
and is still at large. The jailer, Alex.
Elliot, was indicted by the grand ju-
ry for his carelessness in allowing
her to escape.
VENUS, after an absence of nearly
a year, has again made her appear
ance as the evening star, and may now
be seen in the early evening in the
west. She will continue to adorn
the western skies during the remain
der of the year, growing brighter as
the months pass, and not reaching
her greatest brilliancy until the 9th
of January next
A LITTLE cash goes great way
these hard times when it comes to
buying, and by paying cash as far
as possible one not only gets the
most for his money but helps to
bring about a return of better times
by putting and keeping the cash in
circulation. Try it at the Victor
Mills when next you want hay, grain
feed or chop.
The Slavs who are working on the
railroad extension live in a shanty
at the west end Of court alley. On
Sundays they indulge their taste for
music. They play Yankee Doodle
and other national airs, as we'll as
their own home songs, on mouth or
gans. These concerts are rather in
teresting to persons who have not
conscientious scruples against listen
ing.
DR.. G.. F. WRIGHT, Professor of
Theology in Oberlin College, Ohio,
was recently here geologizing. The
Doctor is a distinguished Geologist
as well as Theologian. Several of

noon he addressed the Y. M. C. A.
at the University and in the even
ing preached in the Presbyterian
church. He was accompanied by
d. G. Baldwin, of Elyria.
A COMPANY of Pittsburg capital
