Send the News Of Your Neighborhood.

A great many of our friends in
town and throughout the county do
not send us items of news because
they labor under the mistaken idea
that we have an iron clad rule that
items must be written out in full,
punctuated ETC.. and in shape for the
type setter. We want all items and
will be glad to get skeleton report
of any incident in the way of news
If Brown, Jones or Smith gets his
leg broken, steals horse, applies for
"a divorce, kills his wife or friend,
robs store, sets fire to a building,
gets married, commits suicide, brings
suit against any one, goes on visit,
entertains visitors, loses valuable
stock, meets with an accident, holds
a revival, elopes with some other
mans wife or sister, is buncoed by
sharps, goes East to buy "green
goods" starts into business, buys or
sells farm, jot down the plain facts
and send it to US by mail so we will
receive it on or before Monday or by
noon Tuesday. We pay a man to
fill our columns with news and he
has plenty of time to fill out your
skeleton report and will take pleas
ure in doing it. The New DOMINION
wants all the news no matter wheth-
er it is written on scented note paper
with gold pen or on brown wrap
ping paper with a coal stone.

Wadestown Local Notes.

WADEsTowN, Oct, 9Th, 1854 splen-
did rain came on last Tuesday night
the most we have had for long time.
The streams are now running. The
grass will grow, and the wheat will come
up all right.
Things in Battelle are slow. We
want some good oil wells and gas well
or two, and we want creamery at
Wadestown. Will not the farmers
around here work this matter up? 1t
certainly would be safe investment,
and one that would pay good dividend.
G. L.Eakin will start to Northern Ala
bama in a few days with two car loads
Of sheep.
Several Of the schools OF this district
are yet without teachers. The people
want nothing but good teachers, and
the wages are such that good ones will
not come here.
Mrs. DIR. L. +. Taught OF Silver Hill,
Wetzel Co., is visiting relatives In this
vicinity.
Battelle will furnish her quota OF visi.
tors to the Worlds Fair.
Born, Sept. 2S, to Drueilla and Jack
son Kennedy a son.
Rev. +. NJ Maple, pastor Of Wades-
| town circuit has moved TO this place.
Miss Lille Hillery has gone to Clays-
vile Pa, to spend the winter with her
grandparents, and attend school.

Georgetown.

GEORGETOWN, Oct. 9.-After so Ions
our town has a blacksmith once again
and those who need his line of goods
can call and get sample.
People seem well along with their fall
work and everything is quiet, and We
have very little material for letter just
now.
Mrs. Rebecca Youst who has beer
sick long time is improving somewhat
J. b. Nj. Kennedy is now quite un-
well. His disease seems asueish and
malarial.
Among the friends in this section are
Miss Neva Bayne, of Richie county,
with her relatives the Michaels on
Stewards run, and Rev. Proudfit, OF Up
shur, with his bgother-in-law G. j.
Michael.
The patrons met the tax man last
week with long faces, which denoted
their enjoyment OF the. size o. their con-
tributions. They seem to think them
sufficiently steep now without any fur.
Their additions.
Without arguing that the tariff is q
tax, we are entirely willing to admit
that the tax is tariff at this time for
reUsHue only.
We have about concluded now, that il
parties would practice what they preach
and give us little protection" now
and then "home protection" we would
enjoy it pretty well.

Charles A. Martin UndergOes Another
Surgical Operation.
Waynesburg Independent

Last Thursday Mr.. Oh aries A..
Martin. whose back was broken by q
fall from an apple tree August, 1892.
was operated on in hospital in Gin
cinnati. 1t was shown that the
spinal cord was pressed tightly be-
tween the seventh and eighth verte-
bra, it had grown to the bone for the
distance of an inch. The pressure
was removed and cord loosened from
the bone. The operation was a success
as to surgical skill, but as to result
so far as restoring the patient to
health is concerned in matter yet
to be seen. The physicians who
have charge Of the case do not ex-
press themselves as to results other
than indulge the hope the operation
will result in restoration. Mr.. Mar
tin stood the operation well, and was
doing, at last accounts, as well as
could be expected. His many friends
here bope for his recovery.

What Charlest0nians Think Of Governor
Fleming.

The Charleston correspondent Of
the Petersburg Sentinel recently
spoke of the notable men who had
visited the Capital City and among
them he refers to ex- Governor. Elem
ing as follows:
"And speaking of Governors, past
present and to come, am reminded
that Governor Fleming was among
the several distinguished visitors in
town this week. This was the Sec
ond visit in as many months, but il
the Ex-Governor returned to his old
hunting ground twice as often it
would not be too often, and the same
royal welcome would await him ev-
erywhere. 1t is a commonplace thing
to say, by it's repeated misuse degen-
Grated into a meaningless phrase
which newspaper readers swallow
with an allowance of salt and dash
of horseradish, if at all, but in this
case it is bright and shining and in
candescent truth, should you please,
that Everybody loves" Governor
Fleming. He likes Charleston, too,
he says in that even, quiet voice
with SO much dignity in it's under
tone; and whenever he can do so he
comes this way from Washington,
looks into this Office and that, says
the right thing to everybody. which
everybody believes, for the very good
reason that nobody ever had occasion
to disbelieve Governor Fleming, and
leaves an atmosphere of universal
goodwill behind. No man except
John E. Kenna has had such a hold
on the hearts OF the people of the
Kanawha Valley, aud future awaits
him in which third and fourth dis
trict people shall be conspicuous by
the quality of loyalty they will dis
play"

CIRCUIT COURT.
Judge Hagans Unable TO attend-W. s.
Meredith Presides.

The regular October session of the
circuit court convened Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, and there OBJ
tanned the usual augment of visitors
to town from all over the county on
account of it.
Judge Hagans has been quite ill
for several days, and for the reason
of his inability to be present and
preside at the session, Hon. Winfield
Scott Meredith, distinguished mem
Der Of the bar from Marion county,
received a special call of the local
bar to occupy the woolsack until
such time as the regular Judiciary
official may feel able to assume his
legitimate functions.
Judge Meredith delivered lengthy
and comprehensive charge to the
grand jury, dwelling carefully upon
those offences most probable to come
before the jury in Its efforts to make
findings against violators.
This completed and the jury re-
firing, it was noon. No petit jury

this paper going to press, a. Tues
day afternoon was chiefly occupied
by Counsel Baker and Cox, for the
the prosecution, and Fast and More
land for the defense, in arguments
on motion to quash certain counts
in the indictment against Blair, for
the South Morgantown fire.
Some chancery matters were talk
ed of briefly, but the court passed on
none Of them. In fact, at this time.
there has nothing transpired in the
session that could be considered of
general interest.
The trial Of the Blair case, which
has been continued from court to
to court for the past year, the burn
ing having occurred ON the night OF
August 7, 1892, will be disposed OF
at this term. An effort will be
made to have the trial begin to-day,
which is most likely to prove sue
cessfal.
The grand jury will make no re-
turn of indictments before Thursday
evening.

He viii be Shot II He Keeps On.

An Iowa editor hits 1t about right
in this way: The press endures
the Affections Of deadheadism from
the bar, stage, churches, society in
.eividuals and corporations. 1t is
expected to give strength to the weak,
eyes to the blind, clothes to the max
ed, bread to the hungry, etc. 1t is
asked to cover up infirmities, hide
weakness, wink at quacks, bolster up
all dull, sar-headed politicians and
fatter the vain. 1t is, in short, TO
be all things to all men; and if it looks
for any reward it is denounced as
mean and sordid. There is no inter
est under the whole heavens that is
expected to give so much to society
without pay or thanks as the press. :"

Marion County.
Fairmont Free Press.
All Flat Run society were shocked
to the centre on last Monday morn
ing when it was learned that Miss
Matte Shriver, the pretty daughter
of Font Shriver, and aged about Is
years had eloped with doctor" Cross
son of VIM. Cross, and aged about
81 years.
Last fall Mr.. Shriver bought land
on Flat Run, this county, and NOV
ed his family to his present home
from Greene county, Pa. While in
the last named State his daughter
became engaged to marry Mr.. John
Tuscan, of that county, and il she
had not gone away with "hand-
somer man." yesterday she would
have been Mrs. Tuscan. Her intend
ed came to see her not long since and
to arrange for the wedding. He as
sisted to purchase her wardrobe, and
all things were in readiness for the
day set But alas, her heart was
another's. On Sunday her father
had gone to Greene county TO give
assent for the license. Sunday night
there was a musicale given at Mr..
Yeager's neighbors, and number
of the young people were there, as
was also Miss Shriver. She COM
planned all evening of being ill, and
was very restless going in and out
of the house considerable number of
times, and when she got home she
still complained of being ill. The
family retired, thinking her illness
was slight. But she still complain
ed, and kept going up and down
stairs in the house and out The
parents fell asleep. The young lady
played her game well, for she sue
coed in getting all her clothes, and
in the night she joined her lover, and
they left, and have not been heard
from since. The superstition is that
they went to Maryland to get mar
ried. In the morning when her alb
sence was discovered it completely
''broke up" the family A messen-
ger was dispatched to Warren to
telephone to her father, but as the
phone was taken out there he was
compelled to go to Jollytown. The
news reached her father just when
he and his intended SON law were
securing the license.
The doctor" is clever young
man, farmer and carpenter, and
belongs to a well to do family. The
bride is said to be a charming young
lady, and well respected by all, and
also of every respectable parentage.
They left no reason for their action.

The hour for evening services at
the M. E. church through the week
is o'clock. On Sunday evening
services begin at 1880.
There was report current short
time ago that the boiler in the NJ. +.
church had been burned again and
ruined. The report is mistake.
While there was leak in the boiler
it has been stopped and now seems
as good as new.
We learn from reliable source
that the funds and plans for the new

denomination will soon have one Of
the best If not the best church ever

has been seen here. Since then it has
been enlarged and improved TO won
derful extent. In the unparalleled
exhibitions this year will be seen a
triple circus crowded with the fore
most equestrians of the world, hip
podrome, a double menagerie filed
with rare and curious animals, gath
cred at great cost from the four quar-
tiers of the globe, two herds Of per-
forming elephants, two stages for
special performances, and a third
stage Of large Dimensions for the sub
lime, historical spectacle Columbus
and the Discovery Of America.
Twelve hundred people appear in
the living picture of Spain in the 18th
century. These include priests, sail
ors, knights, mobiles, pilots, friars,
kings, princes, Moors, courtiers, sold
iers, characters and ballet OF three
hundred charming ladies, dancing
beauties from Italy. France, Spain,
Germany, England and America. For
this gigantic display Of historic splen-
dor and glory stage four hundred
feet long has been erected. Last year
the press and public went wild in ac-
CARNATIONS over the extent and mag
niflcence of this spectacle, which will
be seen here as it was given in New
York. Indeed, the great show has
been improved in many respects since
it was shown there. In the circus de-
partment alone one hundred acts are
given at every performance, afternoon
and evening, by as many daring cham
pion equestrians, athletes, gymnasts,
jugglers and acrobats. There are
twenty acts in which perfectly trained
animals are seen with twenty comical
clowns. Several of them were ac-
knowledged to be the funniest fellows
in Europe before Barnum & Bailey
engaged them. After the acts in the
three circus rings and on the two ele-
waited stages numerous hippodrome
races take place. Besides the most
marvellous feats in mid-air the whole
entertainment is of such grand
character as to amaze every one. A
children's circus; too, is especially pro-
vided for the delectation of the little
folks. The new million dollar free
street parade will take place on the
morning of the shows arrival, and is
said to be the finest of its kind on
earth. 1t will all be here on Thurs

A Goud Paper.

The last number of the Athena eun,
which was issued from this Office
y yesterday, was, we venture to say,
the most creditable number of that
journal issued during it's history.
The present editors of the Athe-
noeum are ''live" young men, and
seem to know good newspaper item
when they see it. They have news
paper talent that is more manifest
in their conduct of that journal than
any of their predecessors have dis
closed.
The last number, to which we re-
fer, is full of fresh, readable matter,
every bit of which is appropriate
and well selected-and there is an
entire absence of the dead, phiIo-
sophical stuff that kills a paper.
One could read it right through with
out skip.
We vouchsafe this compliment to
the present editors of the Athenaeum
because it is deserved, and we are
sincere In making it, and do so with
out any knowledge or solicitation of
either of them.
