printing SO, delivering SO, judges and
clerks S12. 1t comes high, but the puri-

Under the new time card, which went
into effect On the b. & o. on Sunday,
trains leave St. Clairsville at 9:15 A. NJ.
and Z o'clock z. NJ, making connections
both east and west. The west bound
train, No. 1O3, in the morning makes no
stops between st. Clairsville Junction
and Barnesville. A train going west,
leaving st. Clairsville Junction at lila
P. NJ, for which no connection is made
from this place, stops at all stations,
likewise one at 3:45 P. NJ, with which our
train connects. A train east which stops
at all stations passes the Junction at 2:2S
p NJ, and also one which runs fast at
3:46. Altogether the change is about as
bad for the accommodation of the trav-
cling public as it could be made.

In the Way.

A few years ago a monument was
erected on the College grounds at New
Athens, to the memory of DR.. Ross,at one
time President of Franklin College. The
college building was afterward sold for
public school purposes, but the monu
ment was left standing where it had been
erected. A new school building is now
to take the place of the old, and the mon
ument will be in the way. The college
trustees have refused to have it moved,
and the school board wants it moved and
if it is not taken away, it will be thrown
down and probably broken. The monu-
ment cost about $1,000, and was erected
largely by admirers of DR.. Ross, most of
whom are now scattered,
